I installed patch 1.3, and things are working fine, so far. The bots are using the link gun beam A LOT, just like they did in UT2k4. An annoying but fine change nonetheless. I also noticed the bots do attack the enemy core, but on select maps. Still, the crappy Leviathan AI on Serenity and Onyx Coast pisses me off. I can't count how many times the bots drove the Leviathan down the central gorge in Serenity or up the cliff face on the Axon side in Onyx Coast and remained stuck there. They also suck at the Leviathan's orbital cannon... BIG TIME.
Another thing I noticed, but I don't know if anyone else did... on Avalanche, when I captured the East and West cave nodes, the tentacle only deployed for a short while, and mysteriously disappeared. I didn't see the drainage on the enemy prime node at all.I tried it once so far, but I want to know if anyone else got the same problem.
It's good to see the map descriptions and previews have been fixed, though, as well as the map-specific (Searchlight, Morbias) issues being dealt with. I think Epic should focus on improving the bot AI vis a vis vehicle usage and prioritization of goals in CTF and Warfare maps.

Tried the new patch last night. The bots definitely use the link beam more now, and you can indeed see people in servers.
Didn't notice the much vaunted new taunt functionality but maybe I didn't have the relevant volume control high enough.
Does anyone know which volume setting controls this?
Pretty damned big patch but I guess that's the map updates which I haven't checked out.
MM alpha still kicks Epic final.
EDIT: Forgot to mention: It doesn't seem like you can play demos from 1.2 anymore.
P.S. Finally gave up on the Epic forums and moved here since the equivalent thread to this there got closed before I could post.

What the hell is this "ballin" thing?
hold on, you got map previews? For face, morbias and searchlight? why don't i have them....
There's a fix for the previews at utzone.de. That's where I got it from. Can't remember the exact link, though. Apparently the fix is included with the bonus pack url on their site. You might want to give that a shot.

I don't know if that's the case. I managed to play a demo of a Heatray DM match I did when I had patch 1.1. It might depend on the map.
The patch DOES NOT fix the map previews ... you are not alone ... the patch has nothing to do with what is being released at UTZone ... which is the old BP without the fixes and not the maps that have been fixed in the Patch.
Is this only me or does link gun beam homes on enemies when bots use it?
I used to play TDM with godlike bots on DM-Noca from HOLP mappack, and now I often see bots' link beam behave in that way. They can burn me down with it in a few seconds, literally. Even faster that in UT2004 IMO.

The bots beams have the ability to home into the enemies and that is just a fact. I have seen it plenty of times when I dodge away from a bots beam, and it just curves and continues to burn me.

Things that were standard in UT2004 have yet to materialize in UT3. This, even though we were promised that these features would be expanded in the new game. It wouldn't be breaking new ground, just giving us what we had.

Those features are in the game AFAIK, but almost nobody uses them.
You'll have to tell me where you found a way to give "voice" commands to bots like it was in UT2004.
