AutoTaunt Sucks

Agreed, UC2 taunts are far, FAR better than 2k4 ones.
That wasn't quite what I meant by that, but I do kinda agree with you - the in-game taunts and dialogue in "UC2" (and the original "UT", for that matter) tends to be more creative and amusing than the admittedly "generic-for-the-most-part-by-comparision" (phew!) "UT 2003" and "UT 2004" taunts (however, IMHO there are some okay-to-good taunts in those games, too ;)).

Personally, I like Auto Taunts. I actually like it in 99 better - not only were there better voices (Less, sure, but better) but YOU COULD HEAR OTHER PEOPLE TAUNTING. In 2k4 (I don't remember if it's 2k3 as well) you only hear Autotaunts in two situations:

1) You kill someone.
2) Someone kills you.

In Instant Action, though, you can hear the bots taunt freely, and believe it or not we've even had questions on how frequent the taunts would be for UTR.

My verdict: If you want to turn them off, do so, but don't nerf it for everyone else who thinks taunts are part of the game. Though you should have the option to be able to turn them all off for you, locally (That is, you still taunt other players and they do to you - but since you muted them, you don't hear either) or individuals (because some people DO spam taunts.)

I'm prety sure I hear the bots taunt each other in the different game types. I'll double check later, but I'm 90% sure on that.

That's a shame, kantham. There are some nice map(packs) recently released for UT, which have raised the bar imho...

Do a search for the "flagsoftime" mappack.

And I'm still waiting for Dm-Swoon... it looks like an ut2004 map, I kid you not.
