You know Tootall, I have been looking through the UT2003 official forum over the last month or so because I have been truly looking forward to this game. I used to be bigtime into Quake 3.Quote:

GG Quake CTF, give up, and they charged people for that mod, ahahah, whatever. As for UT2K3, well, I like to call it Quake2K3, cause that's what it is. They took most of the old weapons and weakened them and introduced the Rail Gun (ie, Lightning Gun), replacing the sniper rifle. Granted you can dodge like UT, and the gamepace is fast like UT, it just looks like Quake. They have even remade Quake maps and included them with the Retail Release, how retarded. As for now, I will continue to play UT, with UT2K3 in the wings when the professional community makes the move or they patch it to where it's playable. As a side note, I have it on the lowest settings and I get nearly 85fps and no more. My specs are AMD xp1800, 512mb DDR, KT400 MB, GF3. What a joke, I run UT high everything and pull 120fps easy at 1280x960. Oh well. GG Epic and DE, way to f**k up a good thing. :(
I went so far as to downloading the leaked version of UT2003 and I loved it. So what if I downloaded the leaked version because it didnt turn me against the game because of the bugs. I legally own a copy of UT 2003.
But Tootall, out of all the time I was looking in the UT 2003 forums, I found so many idiots to compare UT2003 demo to Quake 3, since that is apparently a big slap in the face. And after looking through the forums, I was truly disappointed. Was the Unreal Tournament community a big bunch of whiny crybabys that was ticked off because Epic and Digital Extremes didnt totally kiss their butts and scrap their entire programming just so they could make a total rehash of UT? It makes me wonder how many Quake people were majorly ticked when Quake 3 came out "Its got too many colors" "It dont have enough browns I will never buy the game"
Tootall, you truly disappoint me. Here Epic and whoever else went through three years worth of programming and there are people like you that just are never truly satisfied. They changed the sniper gun to make all you camping snipers actually develop dodging skills. :eek: Heaven forbid that you may have to move around and not camp and just pick people off.
It just looks like Quake. Dude, lay down the crack pipe cause the only version of Quake it may resemble is Quake 4.... but we got another year or two before Doom 3 comes out and then another 3 years to wait for Quake 4.
Remade Quake maps? The closest one I can acknowledge that on is the Inferno map..... so UT makes a hellish looking map and it is accused of having Quake maps remade. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Did you even know that Liandri and Deck 16 has been remade for UT2k3? No, I guess you havent. One of the Deck 16 maps is an incredible work of art. I havent had a chance to play on the Liandri map yet though.
Did you know that someone came out with a mutator for the lightening gun that takes away some of the trailing of the shot and increases the rate of fire? No I guess you havent.
You can dodge like UT and the gamepace is fast like UT but it LOOKS like Quake. <---- :bor: :bor:
Fine Tootall, you dont like UT 2003. I guess it is scary realizing you need to re-evaluate your skills. I guess it is scary going into a game and being a newbie again.
I find people who have made this same rable on like you funny. I tell you what...... you stick with UT. Thats just fine by me. It makes more room for me out there on the UT 2003 servers. I admit I aint the best at it but the whole idea is to have fun. It is a game after all.
When you sayare you trying to say that until some mod maker spends a great deal of time programming until he can make UT 2003 look exactly like UT and play like UT, you are gonna stick with UT? :confused: The only thing that needs patching on the game as far as I can tell is the SecureROM feature and add the IRC client. That is it.Quote:

So man, enjoy UT cause I know I will be enjoying UT 2003. Double Domination and Bombing Run are two perfect additions to this fine game that I guess you will never enjoy. I know I enjoy them.
Oh well.
One last thought.... if Epic and Digital Extreme kept going back to the drawing board when the community said they wanted this or that.... would any game ever come out?
Your side note of your FPS on UT compared to UT2003 totally cracked me up. How old is UT? How old is UT2003? Its gonna be another year or two before any computer will be able to run UT2003 at full resolution at high FPS. Isnt what they say that the human eye can only see 30 frames per second? So as long as you are above 50, and the game play is good, who should be complaining? I got an Athlon XP 1800 and I could care less what the FPS is.... as long as it plays good. For all I know, I bet I have layed the smack down on people who are getting 10 to 20 FPS faster than me.
