Personally I think Epic will start spending less time on the taunt menus as they start to lean more toward the live chat and microphone commands. So go get those head sets. :p ;)

sounds like someone get's killed a lot... In the past i had it on cause people really got pissed about it when u fragged them more then often and i had a great time doing so :D . But for peace sake if turned it of so hotheads like u can still have a good game. Still u should ask urself why u get pissed about a random event the given player doesnt control... getting pissed about that is just stupid IMO.

Nah, he has a point. Fact is that people that get fragged by the same weapon more than any other weapon want that weapon neutered, whereas everyone else is happy with it.

If you get smacked in the face by a full glob of bio then you're doing something wrong, or the guy that got you is doing something very right. Learn from it.

Actually i am always very admirative when someone succeed a Mickael Jordan Goo shot from distance (or from an impossible -and sometimes invisible- angle) right in my face. just for that, I want the green blob to remain on the pitch.
And I have to admit that a Goo blob in the face of my opponent gives me more satisfaction than an LG headshot. the sweet green GOO is too damn GOOD to disappear!!!

taunts make perfect sense in the game... if UT was real you know that players would be yelling all kinds of stuff all the time.
on the other hand, no one wants to hear what the actual players are saying, cause its usually rude and crude or just a distraction.

auto taunt for those who dont like to get humiliated is easy enough to turn off and in my experience, its rare except for n00bie servers that anyone spams taunts anymore.

what would be great is if there was more variety in the voices and from what we've been told there will be with a new system thats supposed to make the bots sound more like real players would, especially in team situations. and thats a good thing. esp for SP and everyone who does like thier games to be interactive :)

I think a bigger variety of taunts and a bit of 'situation'-relevant taunts for players would be great.

Worst problem for the current set of taunts is that they're far too few voicepacks, which leads to ridiculous situations like that pitch-shifted voicepack for the 'female' droids. It also made it more difficult to find a voice that fit your personal avatar.

IIRC bots won't use "you play like a girl" on female opponents. At least they seem to be sort of aware of a few basic situations.

I'm looking forward to see/hear the new voices and (even more important) how those new voice-sets will affect custom voicepacks. Perhaps the increased variety of sentences will mean an end for taunt-only voicepacks that plagued the previous games.

Or some actual ingame live voice modulation effects (like in the movie scream0 so an 11 year old can speak with troll voice and a 40-something, 20 stone balding office worker can sound like a hot 20-year old woman. :D

That'd be pretty sweet. :)

Auto taunt

"Die bitch"
"Douche bag"
"My house"
"You whore"
"fear me"

The auto taunt that miss me are the one from ut2003, the bots where randomly saying possitive taunt to their oppenents. For example

"you adept well"
"nice shot"
"MEDIC!"

Selig saying "MEDIC" with his pic on the side made me laugh my ass of for weeks.

Oh well. Auto taunt sucks.

Yeah. :hmm:

They brought that back in "Unreal Championship 2" as Victim taunts (e.g. "Ouch!", "Lucky Shot", "Spammer!", etc.), though, and that game also has something called Other (I think - haven't played "UC2" in awhile) taunts (e.g. "Where are you?", "Come back!", "I'm ready to score!", etc.).

I think they should have that kind of stuff in "UT 2007", too. :)

There definitely need to be more positive / neutral taunts in there (I think the UT2k7-demo movie already has a few new taunts).

Somehow I expect there will be a lot of position/location related samples simply because they need the bots to communicate a good deal more compared to previous versions.

That would be cool, but do you think they would put all of them in the comunication box for players, or have them invisable for only bots to use? I just imagin it getting REALLY complicated if they have too many position related sayings for players to select.

"Medic" is also used in UT. And believe me, when a bot uses this it does not sound positive...at all.
I mean, when it's used as a taunt.

Agreed, UC2 taunts are far, FAR better than 2k4 ones.
