Why do people keep wanting the Ripper/Razor Jack back :s It was cool in U/UT1 and worked in it, but it never would have worked in 2k3/4 or UT3 because of the level design making it a ricochet nightmare. It would become a fraction of the gun it was.

The ripper also served as fast mini rocket launcher (shoot at ground).

Yeah Im really surprised the third firemode stuff got all canned except for the rocket launcher, I thought that was one of the things UC2 did to push things forward. The proxy mines are a good bit of fun :p

What the hell is this "ballin" thing?
If they brought it back it would make a lot of people happy imo. The changes made to the guns in uc2 allowed for a more interesting game imo. Every weapon had a defensive use. The biorifle could cover the ground with blobs of **** or it could shroud a whole area up to the roof with a cloud of toxic gas. That was one of the best things to do when you were playing defender on gauntlet. Just sit there watching the choke point that leads into the base and whenever an enemy pops their head in you let it rip and this big cloud of crap would cover that whole area.

And the ripjack, it could bounce, it could charge up, it could headshot, it could make landmines!

The shock rifle could make a floating minefield. Although i don't think this would translate well to UT3 because some people would prefer to hold down fire and actually have the gun fire something.

UC2 allowed for a more interesting defensive game, there was more reward and fun in holding back to defend then in any previous unreal game.

UC2 was surprisingly good, and I really wish they'd made a current-gen followup, or one for PC. I bought it for like $9.99 just for the sake of it and wasn't expecting more than a shovelware spinoff, and ended up playing it pretty intensively.

I'd love a 3rd firemode with the BioRifle, a sort of goo spray comparable in ways to the flak primary :D

I'd love to see the Ripper return, can't see it happening though.

If UT3 brought back jump dodging I'd be very disappointed, I was so glad to see it gone, the game is far more offensive than UT2004 ever was.
