UT3 TITAN PACK DETAILS REVEALED

[Bersy]

I'm guessing the whole malcom thing is partly because he doesn't have his own team. It would be inconsistent to have a team with just malcolm and no customization in it.

Heck, maybe his model is broken in some obscure manner and needs a complete overhaul to be viable in the game for all we know.

Doubtful. After all, the preview footage was pretty much ALL malcolms during live gameplay and it looked fine to me.

But I also think that it is as you said, it would be awkward to put him in there without a team and that is probably a little much to make the deadline they were aiming for with this pack.

I predict that if the expansion really takes off they'll eventually come out with another addon pack, this time with an extension to the campaign and some new teams (hint to Epic, bring back more of the original UT teams for the uber win) and a focus on the return to the tournament where Reaper can exact his revenge on Malcolm and have to face a necrified version of Jester in the arena.

Those three bullet points from the article would suggest that Patch 2.0 is included in the pack (a la the Mega Pack from UT2004).

They did say before that the patch was coming out before the Titan pack, so my guess would be yes.

Well i have to admit that im actually looking more toward the patch than this expansion as the content has little interest for me.

But hey it is free, i will be trying out the new stuff for sure.

 

[Hyrage]

Well, I'm happy to see new stuff, but I definitely miss Bombing Run and the Ripper... [razor weapon thing]...

-------------------------

I would just be fully satisfied if the 360 settings for the Controller Thumbsticks were remade, because it is actually totally unplayable and broken.

If the PS3 version [what I don't have] works the same way, it should be remade too.

Auto-Aim:... that crap needs to be OFF, if not... how do you want to perform combos and aim accurately??? It's UT not halo...
Sensitivity: Increase general sensitivity, but way more the Y axis?
Turn Acceleration: Increase the turn acceleration... but only on the X axis?

WTF is wrong with Epic? Both should be 50/50 all the time...

 

[Gan Xodos]

lets say I'd be pissed off if they did the content without this patch...

 

[Forgetful]

So will this fix the crappy HUD/GUI?

 

[Bersy]

it's impossible to release the content without the patch. some of the maps won't work without it since they contain the new weapons and vehicles.

The GUI has had some improvements but not exactly a major overhaul. It looks nicer, basically. Black instead of red and white, and the server browser is improved and there are about 2 pages worth of advanced video options.

The HUD still sucks as bad as it ever did. They put some new powerup overlays on the character, but the actual design of it still looks like it was done by someone without any actual artistic skill. Guess they never found their UI designer.

 

[UBerserker]

Ha, XBox360 stuff is now on the PC.

What's nice is that is it free. Thank you Epic.

 

[Staward]

Great, just read about it and i am really excited....
All that content sounds really good, the 19 "new" maps sounds good, the betrayal mod sounds good, the vehicle, well, not that surprised, the weapons sounds good...BUT
You know, why don't they get their time (and our time, waiting) to listen to us, and bring back what really matters...People were SO dissapointed about, for exemple, the lack of the assault gametype or the malcolm character...
For me, they should have realeased these things (among others) in this pack, which is not small and not insignificant, i think it would get much more people interested. Hope this packs stands out and convince them to make another one, and that they include something really BIG and interesting (like assault), and soon.

 

[Bersy]

I think you're overstating the interest in assault. What I think everyone would have been interested in is more assault like objectives being included in Warfare.. but including it as a gametype, if history is any indication, just wouldn't make as big a difference as you think. New gametypes are great and bringing old ones back is nice (for a few people) but what they need to do is make the existing ones more interesting and increase replay value of the maps. Greed was actually a genius move because it has given all CTF and vCTF maps a new lease on life. Arguably it could even bring in a lot of the old CTF community, which used to be very, very big. The assault community was never "big".. just very vocal.

 

[Centurion]

I want to spectate and join whenever I want in the same map.

 

[Gan Xodos]

I never liked assault that much if not in the campaign...

Oh Bersy, how do u know about the GUI being black?

 

[Fuzzle]

Isn't it technically possible to make assault maps using the warfare mode, anyway?

 

[Staward]

I say that because most of the comments i read about people that want remakes of old content always mention about assault, so is in fact this is something really significant, in my opinion. Also i am not overstating the interest in assault, i was just manifestating what i would like to see, it just happened to be said twice...Anyway, i don't want to really go in arumentating about anything because i may not sound clear as i "don't" speak english, so..yeah...

And the thing about the CTF maps thing, i haven't thought about it, really. Thats another thing that was missing...In general i don't think all that content is crap at all, it was quite a progress from Epic, i was just waiting something else.

 

[Alhanalem]

Yes, as long as the objectives involve "Control the node" and "destroy the core."

 

[Gan Xodos]

looks like warfare has a lot of untapped potential

 

[Bersy]

They made a huge hulabaloo before the game was released that this would be possible, and how powerful kismet would be even to noobs who had never done scripting. So far I haven't seen a single user made map like this, and it's been well over a year.

 

[Staward]

Warfare itself doesn't offer much variety as far as "special" nodes goes, but in the other hand you have kismet, with some imagination you could create a chain of special events and such to simulate a assould kinda thing, but anything is really straight forward there so people dont really get into that.
