I do like JBIII, but i'm just a bit bored with it after 2 years.
I'm looking forward to JB2004 the most. I do have UT2003 installed, but i find it runs worse than UT2004 on my PC o_O

If I don't go and get wasted on Wednesday night (end of exams, woohoo) I'll definatly stop by for some 2k4 fragging :)

I voted for JB2004 incase it wasn't obvious.

This is the only other mod besides Chaos I was waiting for to come to 2003.....er 2004 now...Safe to say I'll probably abandon UT now except for some SP mods.

Playing JBIII once and a while has been fun, especially before UT2004 came out. Now that it has though I find that it's less and less tempting to go back to UT. I probably won't play JBIII so I said JB2004 only, but I suppose I might play the very occasional lockdown if they're being held. As for JB2003, well, I personally think UT2003 is going to die out online well before UT does. It's nice to support JB for UT2003, but I seriously doubt it'd be worth the effort to try and build up a lockdown for it.

JB III will always be a great game/mod. But the screenys and talsk of JB2004 makes me wanna vote 2004 :p as far as a server is concerned. What is the average bandwidth used for a JB server (weither it be JBIII or JB2004) and what system requirments?

in 2-3 months i will have a good (business) connection and i will see about running a permanent server if anyone wishes for one. ( maybe a perma UTIII server?)

JB uses only slightly more bandwith and (possibly) processor power than standard gametypes. You can probably just refer to the standard Epic guidelines for servers, which I've heard before but can't find written anywhere.

theres really no reason to run 2003, almost everyone who plays will have ut2004 and soon no one will be playing ut2003 at all, let alone mods for it... sure its nice to have compatability, but for servers of which there will be few at first, we should support the current release as much as possible. so id vote ut2004 for all lockdowns (besides the UT version if it stays popular enough)...

evening all (well it is here, anyway...)

evening. just registered for the forums, because i thought you might like my input. or not. anyway, i used to have JB for UT but didn't play on the net much as i had a really naff dialup connection. i have natty broadband now, so i've been rather looking forward to playing JB for UT2004. i've uninstalled my copy of 2003 and sent it in for a rebate on 2004 - £7.50 is £7.50 after all - and i don't think i'd still play the original if i reinstalled it, so my vote goes to 2004. ta da!

Woot. A new Britlandish player.

Yeah, I'll be stuck with pretty crappy graphics on UT2004, at least until I can upgrade my mobo in this box of hell. AGP4x rips apart my 9200 by far...

I think it's quite possible to make UT2004's voting system disable a map for a certain length of time after it's been played so that there is a good rotation. That's up to the individual server admin to configure though, as it is with any gametype.

The server could be switched to elimination mode for mapvote, the mapvote included in 2k4 done by the same person (BDB I think) and it has all those features

Too bad, the title doesn't match the vote. That's why I didn't vote earlier.
If you ask me what flavours of JailBreak I will be playing, I say JBIII and JB2004.
If you ask me what the Sunday Lockdown should be, I definitely say JBIII.
:cool:

i love the original jailbreak the most, so i voted for that one. what are you going to do with people who don't have ut2004 or have an old pc. THINK ABOUT THEM WHAT WILL THEY DO IF THEY CAN'T PLAY A SUNDAY LOCKDOWN ANYMORE, the results will be disatrous. :(

orignal jailbreak forever

Whoever decided we'd be playing Jailbreak III on Sunday Lockdowns from now on -- I suppose I won't be participating (which is a shame given that now I'd have both time and inclination to after the release of Jailbreak 200x) -- in order to have enough free harddisk space to pack the Jailbreak 200x installers, I had to burn my entire Unreal Tournament installation on DVD and remove it from my harddisk.

So I guess I'll be playing on the Jailbreak 2004 server tonight for a bit. Whoever feels like joining me there, you're welcome. :)
