I think UT is a fine game, but I must voice
my consternation with ONE thing:
I will NOT, repeat NOT buy a UT CD for each
of the four computers on my LAN. If GT
or Epic don't release a patch to make LAN
games possible with one CD, I'm going to take
the UT CD back to the store and buy HL:
Opposing Force instead.
Even Half-Life, with its horrid CD key scheme,
lets you play on up to 5 machines of a LAN with
a single cd-key. You cannot expect casual
players who don't even have their own computers
to go out and buy their own copy of the game
just so they can come over to your house once
in a while to play on your LAN. Because,
guess what? They won't do it!
Forget the thing about taking the CD out after
starting each game & putting
it in the next machine. The whole !#@$! arrangement
freezes up when the level change comes around. I tried it.
How perfectly ANNOYING.
I am about to try the CD crack from megagames.
Even if it works (I'm told it does), I
should not HAVE to use a crack. They should
have thought of this before they released
UT.
end of rant. Thanks for listening.
