Race Gametype: Yes/No/Maybe?

[Kyllian]

Someone was asking about the 2k7 vehicles back on INA and it clicked something

I would like to see some type of racing gametype.
Now I don't mean something like Hellbenderrace, I mean stuff like dragracing, circuit tracks, baja(offroad) style

Hell, maybe even disable the vehicle weapons so it stays purely racing

I think it would be fun just to dragrace scorps against 8, 10, 20 people

Maybe, but I wouldn't want Epic to waste thier time on it. I'd like to see it as a mod.

WTF. UT2007 isn't Forza.

Though Forza is a really suite game.

 

[Wowbagger]

No, there are other games that concentrate on this and do it better (i assume )

 

[JaFO]

plus there's always mods that can do it better

I'd rather have them concentrate on making sure that Conquest/Warfare is good and that there's plenty of maps & stuff for the basic gametypes.

Besides ... it's only going to be a matter of days before we'll see racetracks and such.

I say give it a week after release and there will be at least 15 Rankin remakes floating around if there isn't an official one.

After all those POS race Assult maps I say a big, HELL NO! Keep the darn race maps restricted to race spicific user mods or other PC games. Other wise they don't belong in the UT universe. :tdown:

Less is more...

Maybe, but I wouldn't want Epic to waste thier time on it. I'd like to see it as a mod.

Agreed. DM/TDM/CTF/ONS/CON and nothing else. Leave racing for other games.

Now let me elaborate.
I'm not talking about "one team tries to get the stuff done faster than the other team" I mean "free-for-all racing" like Need For Speed and F-Zero

Still, NO!

Edit: Btw, drag-racing scorpions (or any proper race mode) wouldn't work as there is no gear changing in UT.

IMHO some people need to understand that UT2k7 can't be everything at once. It's a FPS, not a driving game...and why you'd want it to be a hybrid of both genres is completely beyond me. It just doesn't make any sense.

I think that it has been talked about during some days in a previous thread for 2-3 monthes ago. People were then not actually willing to see a race mode just for what it is. But I remember then that I suggested that a "race mode" used as a tutorial to learn moves (wall jump, boost jump, crounch, shield gun jump...) was accepted by many as a positive alternative.

But I am not sure that we should waste our time on this thread since this topic has been covered already.

no

 

[The_Head]

To ship with the game....
NOOO I'd prefer the developers to concentrate on more important things.

As a Mod
Yeh Definetly, would be cool

 

[EL BOURIKO]

as a tutorial, definitevely yes, because the tutorials in 2k3 and 2k4 were just jokes. But I agree, this should be a light stuff so people at Epic can concentrate mostly on what is really important.

 

[Persefone]

Epic will never make a race gametype and if you expect a mod, well, i guess you can wait forever, so here I throw the gauntlet...

How many of those who want a race gametype are willing to create it instead of asking for it to somebody else?

 

[Bullet10k]

Good mod idea, but not for retail, because it just doesn't fit, UT can't be everything out-of-the-box, but it sure can using mods. Let Epic concentrate on making excellent DM maps, and CON/ONS, CTF, etc. Or else, the reviewers will be like "ZOMGLIEKEPICNEED2MAKEBETTRERACINGMAPSCOZTHEYDOTNEVENCMPAREWITHGOTHAMRACING3!!!11!".

 

[NeoNite]

I wouldn't mind seeing anything similar to quake's Slide mod

 

[briach]

I hope Epic keeps the speed factor in the game, so we might see several racing mods that records how fast certain players can finish Conquest maps in Instant Action or maybe even a multiplayer collaborative mode. Team weapon boosting, vehicle tricking galore and lots of z-axis. That would be hellsacool.

And how about, I did READ and understood, so bite me. And my answer is still HELL NO! Leave it for user mods or other games. Those AS maps compleatly turned me off to ANY racing type mods or levels for UT. This game is for fragging sports, not racing sports.
