I don't download anything from failplanet, if it isn't on beyondunreal.com I don't even know(or care) it exists.
Generally I would say that this is a "Here we go again" FP/VP thread but the above quote actually makes a hell of a lot of sense...........JaFO said:I just hope the team does realise that the kind of public they will attract with the exclusive does not have the kind of patience for bugs, unbalanced gameplay and missing features that real fans have. So releasing a beta to these guys (and girls) is going to do more harm than good.
One of the only facts that comes up regularly when FP gets mentioned is RO. I would like to know where you sourced the facts about the UT community not liking mods. Personally my experience of this community's reaction to MSUC makes me think otherwise.DA|aBsOlUt said:Guys, please this will not turn into a flame thread. Lets put some facts down, UT2004 community does not have a good reputation of playing mods even though most of them (mods) are super high quality and great gameplay - look at RO.
A week more to wait will do nothing to the rest of the public and will hopefully attract more people to play our mod that we worked hard.
So please dont turn this into a flame thread. Patience and thank you.

Thanks for the flames. The last time I was directed to FP was last night and I was looking for patches for an old (non Unreal) game. Although I have a (free) subscription I chose not to use it as I didn't feel like waiting and being bombarded by adds while using a download manager that is proprietory and taking up my precious hard disk space.]-UnderTOW-[ said:Man, it's surprising with the level of intelligence demonstrated here with the common poster. Wait, not it isn't. You people just seem to bitch for the sake of bitching.
The FP exclusive is JUST for 1 freaking week and is not only for paying subscribers only. You people that complain about FP, when was the last time you acctually used it? I prefer not to use it, but when i have to, i have no problems. Sometimes wait a few minutes, do something else, then download. They have improved their system a lot. Boycotting a mod simply because they want to advertise to an external crowd. Knock off this holier than thou bull**** and grow up.
Perhaps the question is: "When should BU report on these mod releases?"hal said:Yes, considerably, but that's okay. We've always served up more Unreal files than even sites like FilePlanet, but it all gets back to the original point of wanting to reach an audience other than the core Unreal Tournament audience. I understand that.
There are lots of angles to this, and the mod team can hardly be faulted for trying to do what it believes will benefit its effort the most. Sure, it puts off some fans and it would be nice for mod teams to think of the Unreal news sites that work very hard to promote the modification while places like FilePlanet sit silent. But the bottom line is that some mod teams feel like the hardcore Unreal gamer isn't supporting them by trying out their mod.
In an ideal world, news sites and mod teams would support one another because of the undeniably large numbers of hardcore Unreal players who played modifications. The reality is that some mods appeal to gamers who have Unreal* lying about somewhere in their PC and aren't really involved in the day to day happenings of the community.
I wonder then, is mod news worth reporting to Unreal fans?

Manticore said:If it wasn't for BU I wouldn't know about 99% of the Unreal modding that goes on. In my experience other Unreal sights don't handle as much mod news as this one. Personally I don't have the time to go through all my mod site bookmarks regularly to see who is releasing what.
I understand that but they will still pimp it and you will still have to put up with pages of convoluted navigation and waiting and being saturation bombed with adds to the point where I, at least, think it's all too much trouble and my time is being wasted...Plumb_Drumb said:You don't need their download manager to download from FP.
FileFront is by far the best download site around and when i download from FF i dont even notice the adds, maybe there not there.Plumb_Drumb said:You don't need their download manager to download from FP.
Though, the waiting and ads are lame.
I get those on FileFront too though, and many other download spots.
