FragBU, would you join?

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

Is there any interest in reviving FragBU?

It may not be a weekly thing, it may not even be a monthly thing but it will be a special event.

Depending on interest, it may be very frequent with similar gametypes for each "event" or it could be once a month with vastly different gametypes that get voted on.

The biggest problem with the last attempt was that people voted that they'd join and never did, which lead to an empty server 90% of the time. So if you do vote yes, please join and help the BU ut3 community from decomposing any further.

The poll is simple for now and I'll make a separate thread for setup pending interest is shown.

I don't think we're going to do anything to help the game at all :) I just miss playing UT with the BuF dudes.

I kept missing on FragBU when it was a weekly event, but this I'll be sure to attend. Always wanted to play with BU members(and get owned).

I agree. I miss playing with UT with forum people. I'd be interested but weekends are harder for me these days :\

I miss the event too, but the game is crap and the event is deader than a zombie's ass. Don't waste your time in trying to revive this.

FragBU died 3 times during UT->UT2004 and it came back. We can bring it back again if people will just show up to play or run around with the impact hammer for a couple of hours. We are talking about one evening a week where people can show up for a few hours, frag together, and then leave.

I played the game with JD last night. It's not THAT bad once you get in and are playing. I will probably play it again tonight. We are willing to put some mutators on if it will get people to come and play.

Damn, you're really selling it there, aren't you :/

And don't listen to Toilet Mouth. If you don't like the game, then it's obviously not for you.

I STILL play. If it works in the schedule, I would certainly join. I tend to actually seek inebriation in public or with friends on Saturday nights, which tends to lead to a no show.

I would suggest some popular/common maps for DM. Ones that are popular online and that most players are familiar with.

Ones like Deisel, Gutter, Bonecrusher, Sentinel, Defiance, Campgrounds, Deck, etc.

One thing about online play is at least having the map already on the PC and not needing to download it. If you must DL, then your unfamiliar with the map, and it's usually not a good experience playing a map for the first time online with folks who know it. One way to clear a server is to vote a map that requires a DL or one folks are unfamiliar with.

Yes, you will get owned..........not by me though.;)

I'm usually free all but Sunday and Monday nights over the next 3-4 months, but not sure about my schedule after that.

bah, I don't know, I felt like uninstalling this game earlier.

Goo sticks around too long. Shock combos have too much of a radius. It's too much risk to be a melee player (ramp up time/extreme sound)
can hardly hit a ten foot pile of **** with the Link Primary or Stinger secondary.
By the time your enforcer is ready to fire, your spawn protection is already done, not to mention it has worse spread than the Flak.

Then comes everything else...

It just doesn't feel like a game that was tested thoroughly.

I mean, I'll show up to have some fun.

[rant]Welcome to the UT3 party. It's not a finished game, well for eliminating bugs and missing features it's not finished. That's what we've been complaining about for the past .............. since the "beta" demo which was the exact same thing as the full version. The retail release even had RC1 on it iirc. Way to go!

Some people at Epic think I'm a "jerk" for saying the things I say about UT3 and Epic in general, perhaps they're right but maybe they don't realize that besides Bruzz, I'm the only mod/admin on BU who still supports the game in any way. They alienated themselves from here and from fans by releasing an unpolished game and abandoning it without a single word after patch 5. I want to have FragBU again so I can play UT3 with people from BuF. If I wanted to play on the two pub servers with people on it, I would but that's not why I play the game.[/rant]

Shock is supposed to be deadly if someone catches you with a combo, it's a skill to hit cores regardless of how you hit them.

Goo sticks, but you can shoot goo and it goes away.

Link primary kills in four hits, just time them right and you'll get plenty of kills without spamming. Vaskadar and I were playing a week ago and he said the same thing. So we did link primary fights and he saw how quickly I can get kills with it. :p

The enforcer is the most overpowered starting weapon ever, five shots and you're dead. Don't spam the primary and every shot will be 100% accurate. Get two enforcers and you can godlike a pub if you play smart enough.
