Look at empty and full servers

[Kronos[X]]

Will that be a DM or VCTF server?

[Cain]

Beats me, maybe one of each .........

The time had finally come to play vehicle CTF and we did it in a huge fashion with the level named Suspense. The map is huge with two bases linked by a massive suspension bridge with a river down below the bridge (that's where the Redeemer is). The human-based vehicles were being used for both sides; the smaller but fast wheeled vehicles like the Scorpion, the much larger tank ground vehicles, the fast hovercraft the Manta, and the larger air vehicle the Raptor.

The only demo map I'm really looking foward to playing is VCTF-Suspense just to see how the Axon vehicles have changed from UT2K4.

What gameplay mode will be the best ???

I know very little about this game, at present.

Inviting trouble already I see. Different answers from different folks. I'm disappointed the Necris vehicles aren't yet in the Beta, and am with Kurlon about wanting to see the changes to the Axon vehicles (they better not have nerfed my Goliath...). Many others will like pure DM.

Personal opinion is if you have to choose one, take VCTF. There will be opportunity for ground fights, and it'll also have vehicles, so it provides a compromise between hardcore DM/CTF guys and hardcore ONS guys ("Flags? What's a flag?").

Here are the Demo Maps:

VCTF-Suspense
DM-ShangriLa
DM-HeatRay

ShangriLa is the standard DM map, HeatRay is DM but includes a Darkwalker spawn, VCTF has all the Axon vehicles (except Cicada and Levi), hoverboards and CTF objectives.

IMO VCTF-Suspense will give players the most new things to try out in the demo and provide the biggest map size to test out the server resources.

What gameplay mode will be the best ???

As far as the best gamemode I think it will be Warfare hands down given how popular ONS was for UT2K4.

I know very little about this game, at present.

You will get a good idea of what UT3 is all about from these hands-on previews:

BeyondUnreal
PlanetUnreal
FiringSquad
ShackNews

Will we have Warfare in the BETA ??

Nope.

[Slaughter]

Unfortunately no Warfare. However, an Epic employee posted on their forums that vCTF should give a good indication as to CPU resources needed for running WAR on a server.

whichever mod you put up.... its only for a couple of weeks till the full release, so doesnt really matter, imo
