Realism mod

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

optimus, you can mantle.. : P?

and asking to have all these other features is not very important for utxmp...

it sounds like you want a whole other game to be honest.

FOV = Field of Vision.

Saying you can "zoom" by setting your FOV to a low number is ridiculous. Set it down too low and you have nothing but a bunch of stretched verticle lines of what USED to be map terrain and player characters crammed onto your screen like you're in some whacky carnival's fun house mirror hall. Set it down slightly and yes, you "zoom" a tad bit, approximately a 1.002x zoom. Wow. The poor children. Please. Don't "snipe" me with your uber-zoom2000 aimbot hackz0ring.

If the XMP forums would cease to exist, UTXMP might actually become popular.

I have never seen it done in UT. I have, however seen it done in both Q2 and Q3, and yr dead wrong. Low FOV's == significant zoom.

"Pseudo-Zoom" would be more appropriate as the egdes of your screen do get distorted so that you can only make out the very center of your screen perfectly. I just personally don't understand why it's much of a big deal, and how it could offer any sort of advantage in XMP. Zooming in with a rocket launcher, grenades, assault rifle, and yes.. even a shotgun, is utterly worthless. The only weapon that would benefit from such a setting would be the pistol but only the Ranger is equipped with the weapon and if you're a ranger.. you already have the sniper rifle with zoom. But maybe I'm missing the point..

It would make lock-ons easier, and it would help for recon purposes. But it's a moot point since it will be disabled in UTXMP.

Well, you can increase detail in your screan with better monitor. But the fact is that not everyone who has 30 inch monitor and Radeon <insert highest number available> Pro video card is even good player. Ones have technical advantage, but others have brain advantage. In most cases brain exploiting is more powerfull than uber elite hardware or knowledge how to change FOV.
