Absurd Posted September 14, 2002 Author Share Posted September 14, 2002 Just got the UT2K3 demo: Sloppy weapons, graphics really aren't as good as Q3 (minus the physics stuff - I still saw a lot of clipping) .. and Q3's netcode is tighter. Heck the models are horrible looking in UT2K3 and this is everything is cranked up. It just feels slow and sloppy. Heck, JK2 looks better than UT2K3. Back to Quake 3 for me.

Absurd Posted September 14, 2002 Author Share Posted September 14, 2002 I think it sucks but you may want to get other opinions. I found it more clumsy and slower than JK2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHO the hell can u say to probably the most WANTED game for 2002!!! OMG!!... Is just a demo beta.. is not even complete yet!.. and for ur information UT2k3 has A LOT better graphics that Q3.. Not to mention the outstandings Game modes.. My favorite game mode which was Assault, was taken out, but is still koo.. ANother thing, UT2k3 takes A LOT more skills than Q3, and even Jk2.. With the dodging, just dont have to strafe to shot, (which ALL FPS except UT and Unreal doesnt have the dodging system).. THis adds skills to starts shooting and evading bullets/lasers/rockets.. UT2k3 just simply ownz dude. Is THE sequel of the GAME OF THE YEAR for 99!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absurd Posted September 14, 2002 Author Share Posted September 14, 2002 #1. It's an official demo - not beta. #2. Assault is not included in UT2K3 full version. #3. The movement is slow and sloppy - bad UT netcode strikes again. #4. The weapons are slow and pointless. #5. It sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellFyre69 Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 true, to some ppl it might "sux"... demo or beta, the game is NOT completed!. But i think it's just a test, so The REAL thing will be A LOT better here's wut the UT2k3 said about the "DEMO" http://www.ina-community.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=203117 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absurd Posted September 14, 2002 Author Share Posted September 14, 2002 This is from a game developer that worked on Medal Of Honor Allied Assault: "Coriolis My first gameplay impressions: 1) some people shouldn't run servers, they just don't have the bandwidth 2) the weapons need feedback... I can't tell how much damage I'm giving or taking, or even if I hit the guy 3) physics feel awful compared to quake 4) I still hate the double-tap makes you lunge 5) shooting the glowy ball is fun 6) translocator is nifty 7) the "which way do I go george" key (N) is a good idea Graphical impressions... Overall it definitely looks better than Q3, but that's to be expected of a game that comes out 3 years later. They got really high poly counts, yet their models still manage to completely suck, and I'd have to say that is the one graphical area where Q3 clearly owns UT2K3. The lighting makes absolutely no sense at all. The maps overbright with no obvious light sources all over the place. This is no fault of the engine, though; its a level designer issue. The engine feature that seems strange is that they bake the real detailed lighting into the skins for the world geometry models, so that the shadows will never match the lights that exist in the world in direction or number. This is most painfully obvious on the bridges in the CTF map. Their weapon effects are really cool overall, but I still find it impossible to tell if I'm winning a fight until one or the other of us dies. The effects and atmosphere of the CTF map own. I really like the spiky balls. They use detail textures effectively on these balls and in a few places on the ground, though their inconsistent use of detail textures hampers the overall effect. The effect of frying yourself if you walk into the lightning behind the teleporters above your base is also swell. I guess my overall impression is that it is a face lift to UT. I had fun playing the demo tonight, but doubt I'll end up buying the full version, since it is still UT and I'd rather write code than play online FPS games right now." http://www.quake3world.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/057347-2.html?

Absurd Posted September 14, 2002 Author Share Posted September 14, 2002 And yah I cranked up absolutely everything and Quake 3 still looks better - especially models, textures, and lighting.

HellFyre69 Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 true, u can never tell if ur really winning a match in Ut2k3.. Heck all FPS are like that.. 1 shot could even change everything.. FPS are not meant to play 1on1 like Most of u guys play jk2.. but in fact These kind of games are played with ppl.. or should i say "TEAMPLAY". the more ppl you have, the more fun you'll have.. I had a lot of fun from UT, hell I spent playing this game for 2 years!!... But my point is, some ppl has a different views of "FUN".. my kind of fun is teamplay, and UT2k3 is DEFINATELY a game i'm going to buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absurd Posted September 14, 2002 Author Share Posted September 14, 2002 Ah yah, see where mine is deathmatch. And in Quake 3 you can tell if you are winning because you hear a very light, non-intrusive, beep when you hit someone. Have you played Quake 3 before? If you have Quake 3 - you should try out Threewave Capture Strike - you might be surprised just how good it is: http://www.threewave.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellFyre69 Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 yes I have try Q3 before.. and It was fun for 1 or 2 days playing by lan... I also played some online, and I guess is great to some ppl.. but I really really like Teamplay. And i'm dling the mod rite now, and at the same time installing Q3 =).. Hopefully is good, and It will be a good way to kill time while the UT2k3 version comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absurd Posted September 14, 2002 Author Share Posted September 14, 2002 Best way to find Threewave servers is via ASE: http://www.udpsoft.com/eye/ I think you'll laugh at the end of a game and they have the map selection - the way it's done is hillarious. Also, another great mod for Q3 is OSP: http://www.orangesmoothie.org Be sure to grab the client file and extra maps. It's got some very nice stuff - doesn't change gameplay, just adds really cool things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Absurd, i find your overview of UT2k3 simply, well, absurd anywho, i completely disagree on pretty much every point you made, but thats cool. I think this game rocks and am probably gonna buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Groovy Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 I've heard alot about this game. Once I get a new hardrive installed I may get some new games. Is this one really worth my $? ST Elite Force looks like big fun as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
