i'm not buying UT3 until they stop their stupid insistence on making expensive screens look like they have cheap, pathetic, weak, defective color reproduction.

Make unreal tournament fun like the original unreal tournament and all will be well with the world.

Thanks for info

Will they be issuing those poor gentlemen helmets? That man may have avoided those facial scars by choosing something other than goggles for head protection.

Like everything else, intrinsic value makes it worthwhile.

bring back assault

The only thing I played on UT2003 was assault. There was no other reason to play it. They remove that, there is no game.

Neox

lets hope they do something for the modders, enhanced posteffect possibilities would be awesome, we had to drop the outline because of not beeing able to create a propper one without custom code, mimimimi

:edit: dang there are patches that seem to help us with those issues uuuuuhhhh

Farfarer

Bring back the ripper. It's about all that could redeem UT3, imo...

Davision3D

I just hope this brings back the big community previous UT titles had. I think UT3 is a great online game, the UI may be a cheap console UI, but i can live with that. Or maybe they choose only too expand the single player campaign...then it would be a epic fail!

ImSlightlyBored

Would be great if it was a total reshipped version or something, just thinking about the quality boost they worked in to Gears 2 in comparison. Clutching at straws, probably.

Its suprising to me how many people ripped on this game for stupid little things... feels like people wont be happy no matter what they add to this.

Kevin Johnstone

I think you guys will love us for all the extra variety coming in this but as always you
will find plenty worth geting your hate on for.... because you're good at that collectively

Haha... Uhhh What?

Seriously. I LOL'd at this too....



You guys seriously have some issues with hate. You guys hate everything. For fucks sake you can get the damn game for 12-15 bucks and you guys are bitching?

Oh it all looks plastic! Oh it's all a bunch of big guys with space marine armor! Oh they don't have these game modes! Oh my ass hurts cause all I have been doing is sitting on it all day typing up complaints on the internet instead of doing something more productive with my time like maybe learning unreal 3 so I could add my own content.

I know this is General Discussion and you guys have your own opinions but don't be a bunch of ass clowns.

ViPr

UT3 is supposed to be one of the most high tech games. many people get games like that mainly to show off their hardware and thereby show off what hotshot winners they are in life to be able to afford to buy all this expensive equipment. instead, if you bring some hot chick over to your place and show her this game, she'll be like "wtf is wrong with your screen? why is the color all faded? are you too cheap to get a new TV when your old one has worn out? are you some cheap barrel-scraping landfill-digging garbage-rummaging bottom-feeding creep? get the fuck away from me you loser; i'm not some stinking ugly left over reject girl for somebody who will apparently accept anything!"

she'll think you are like this guy who is apparently too cheap to take his car in for maintenance every once in a while:

that's some sweet trolling right there, you're straight from the IGN boards, amirite?

ViPr

i'm not criticizing them for an inability to make something better; i'm criticizing them for intentionally making something worse.

Michael Knubben

Do yourself a favour, and go through his history. His posts are quite amusing, when seen together like that. Source has no specular, displacement is commonplace, gametrailers has a disturbing white haze over all the videos...
It doesn't even matter whether these comments are correct or not, it's just funny.

Neox

well unreal is hightech in a sense that doesn't mean uber great monster graphics on a few highend machines, it brings great graphics to a REALLY broad range of machines, it's not like cryengine, where you need a great machine to get great graphics, you can still get pretty good graphics on lowend/average machines and thats a thing it balances pretty well, if you're only searching for a engine that makes you pen!s look bigger because of your machine, i guess unreal is the wrong engine, it's pretty much highly optimized and a lot of "fakes" going on there, but it works and that on slow machines, thats the whole point why it's been used that often

ViPr

i didn't mean to imply that Unreal Engine 3 is not actually high-tech. that's not my problem with it; my problem is simply the color in the games makes our monitors or TVs look pathetic, and this color problem is not due to technical limitations AFAIK so it's just a stupid waste of a good engine.

quoting for truth

basically your issue seems to be the post processing effects (From what I can tell) and while it is of course subjective, it seems a little peculiar to pick it out on UT3 and the like, when this process of curve/colour editing is used in alot of other mediums, before games. Cinema, photography, Illustration (Hell, it was done at the turn of the 20th century with watercolours. A waste of perfectly good water!)

I dont think its a case of everyone else is wrong and you are in the right, is all I'm saying.

Nice trolling btw.

Jesse Moody

Ok let's just get back on topic.

I'm really interested to see what Epic gives us.

Ghostscape

lets get back on topic

Assault is the best game mode and was left out, hurting UT3 badly.

Junkyard, while being difficult to learn, is the greatest assault map ever made, although all of the original maps ranged from good to excellent.

The only downside to assault was the terrible influx of "RACE" maps clogging up the servers.

as far as i know the first source games had no specular just cubemaps, that faked specular..

HL2 Episode 1 or 2 was the first source game with phong shading, which they advertised as the new black

not happy with the new one they gave us? :P
I hope the expansion will be good, im just hoping for a load deathmatch maps!

Lee3dee

i have a prototype assault map that i was working on, its completely rigged in kismet, the flag was protected by a shield and you need to shoot a mesh in order for the shield to drop. once the flag has been captured, the shield resets.

I got it working in a test map, but the bots didn't understand the objectives of destroying the mesh first, they just kept bumping into the flag shield.

pliang

Not trying to dig up day old threads, but I was at EB and they had one for 10.99, and it had two discs, I read the back and wasn't sure if the two discs in there contained the editor.

Can anyone who own a copy verify that?

Jesse Moody

pliang.

any version of ut3 you buy has the editor. collectors edition just has the extra movies.

Vailias

yeah editor is
UE3.exe -editor

Just a command line switch. They've included tons of commandlets all built into the main exe. Its kinda nice, and also kinda confusing. heh
