Have any of yall read/heard about the new Unreal Tournament? It wont be out for at least another year (article said it wouldnt be called Unreal Tournament 2006....so I am just hoping that means that it should be out around 2006) but it looks soooo awesome.

 

Now, I am not a huge fan of UT 2004, because it is much too fast paced and jumpy and things.....and I was ecstatic to see that the creators (no longer Cliffy :arrow: are making the game from scratch, not just modifying UT2004.

 

Im talkin new engine, some new weapons, new game modes (which I will come back to later), and new game style. They are toning down the movement speed so you can actually hit someone instead of just shoot randomly and get a kill.

 

Anyways, I like how they are doing things. They created the level shells without any textures or "pretty stuff" and playtest them a lot. That way they can change things around with ease and make the levels perfecto.

 

Also the new Unreal 3 Engine looks awesome. They have a picture of Malcolm (what they consider the icon of UT, according to my Computer Gaming World magazine) ingame, and then they have a close up of his face. The face picture has a caption under it that says "The real thing." I thought that they meant it was a real person! I didnt realize that it was an ingame render until I read the rest of the little sub-article.

 

Game modes: CTF, Team DM and regular DM, and something new called Conquest. Conquest is pretty much a war instead of a single battle. They have only created the game type on paper so far, but it sounds awesome. It is supposed to be a HUGE HUGE HUGE battlefield (anyone ever played Planetside? Like that big I am thinkin) and it will have territories and strategic positions and things on it. There will even be RESOURCES! The more strategic positions a team captures, the faster they get resources to build turrets and vehicles with. But, the counterweight is that the more bunkers a team controls, the faster their resources drain, so that way one team cant just have one successful push and the game is over.

 

Anyways, yall need to read up about it. It looks most excellent, even if you arent a big UT fan.

 

 

Oh, and it has been storming all night here, and still is. My yard is a big puddle :peace:

 

I live up on the highest hill in my town, so all the water drains down to the bottom and makes a pond when it rains a lot. I have played in it (when I was 11 or so) with my friends and it was about 2 feet deep down there. It was FUN. I think it is deeper than that already right now.

IMO, the Unreal series has gone down hill ever since Unreal Tournament. That was the best one made.. to bad I lost my CD :arrow: All I have is a backup copy and it won't let me update the game

 

I bought the last 2 unreal tournaments.. I think it was 03 and 04. The latest with the vehicles. It's ok but I rarely play it, right now it's uninstalled and I don't feel like reinstalling all those discs...

yea, I saw this, it looks pretty amazing

The new game mode is something called Conquest, which I think is a game of Onslaught but on maps twice as big as BF maps.

but yeah, it's going to be a while before we get any real good info, and as it is now, only a few of the high end machines could actully run the game

Regular Unreal tournament owns.

 

Then I got ut 2003 and i didnt like it, then i uninstalled it.

i have 2004 and my dad plays 2003. i konw. its weird lol.

 

fun game, but WAY to easy to rip off. a group of like 8 or 9 of us run off one CD. can go up to as many i want.
