The UT2004 LAN playtest, held by Epic in North Carolina Sunday, has wrapped up and players are starting to write about the experience. MWGemini, at Crimson Strife, is among the first to get something jotted down. You can read the full synopsis here.
Charkra, also at Crimson Strife, shares some opinions:The strange thing about onslaught is that even though the maps are much larger than a standard map of any other gametype, the game can be reversed very quickly. Several times today, one team would have control of all the nodes and be attacking the enmy base, and in a very short span of time (1-2 minutes), those roles were reversed.
Talking about sounds - one nice touch that was great is the sound of projectiles that wizz past you as you just manage to dodge them - You want to hear it - just learn to dodge real quick.
