Well, at least once. Actually I'd say it's pretty funny.

Did anyone else think of this?

Imagine you get together with a friend to play a little ping-pong. Only, your friend feels that the game needs a story. While you're playing, he concocts this tale whereby he saves the world by beating you at ping-pong, with each point he scores making him a greater champion against your villainy.

That reminds me of the Ping-Pong story Penny Arcade has...

Hey, they weren't pre-rendered! :)

Hey wartourist, i ilke the fact that you come by here and read the threads.
UT3 is a great game, my only beef with it was the hyped up campaign mode. In my opinion, you guys should stick with the story of ut1. It suits the series better. :D

Off course
That's pretty much what it's like playing the campaign mode of Unreal Tournament 3. The prerendered cutscenes tell a tale every bit as compelling as the plot of a ping-pong match. Their presence doesn't hurt the gameplay, but it has the unfortunate side effect of making the whole thing feel sort of silly.
Couldn't tell it better myself. :tup:

It hurts the harddrive though.
I always said you should be able to do a custom installation and being able to not install things you don't like.
A game should focus on what it can do best, not trying to please everybody. I coudn't care less about a single player campain, I never even tried it.
