I was never a fan of the Skaarj, I think they looked kind of silly when they came back in 2k4.

yeah, I know. I wont be upset if they come back, but I think they need a lot more Bad Ass then the tiny bit they have now.

All I know, is that the Skaarj look from Unreal and UT simply rocks.

(They shouldn't have changed it, that much .. I've seen the screens ..)

Hell, I was/I am even happy with the UT skaarj hybrid look.

Even the Unreal2 skaarj looked silly. Imho.

crazy deaths into ut99 kicked ass, i hate the slow motion ragdolls, make them quicker and
gorier. the ripper added an element of uncertainty to ut99 which was cool, the tide of a deathmatch could be very quickly changed, over balancing weapons can suck. You should get a beefed up eight ball to replace the rocket launcher AVRIL which sucks, when in ons and conquest.
bring back Van den boss too, make the music seem epic again

I like the AVRiL in the Ons maps. What I would love them to do with the rocket launcher is make it more flexible. For instance, if you charge 3 rockets with enough time to get a homing single and you are up against 3 players, why not make each rocket home onto each person. The only problem here is that you are likely to miss an individual, so I say beef up the rocket launcher to four rockets, and instead of 4 rockets homing in onto 4 players, let 2 rockets home in on 2 players. UT2k4's rocket launcher's homing time is slower than UT's and I absolutely miss the homing sound and cursor UT had.

The screen warp spawning effect that you can clearly notice on UC2. Also the classic flying all over the place view when your own head gets shot off. Does anybody else miss that as much as I do? One the greatest things on Unreal MP and UT99 is when someone gets a head shot on you or your blown to bits your head bounces around everywhere and you're still in the first person view when it does.

yeah there is something a bit lacking in ut2kx rocket launcher, not the design, that was cool, but it wasn't animated enough. you tend to miss the beep and the little red ammo read out, theirs something much sleeker and more futuristic about ut99 launcher, though the avril is useful on ons maps its ver plain for an unreal weapon, not crazy enough by far___a little too ordinary.

I don't mind seeing a flaming neck stump, and not even caring if there is a head because it got vaporized or not by the lightning. I like karma rag dolls, they are much better then pre-set death animations.

I did really like the effect of the pov following decap in UT, but it was more appropriate with the razors, or a normal sniper rifle. The new stuff suits the LtG much better.

...and YES, by LtG I mean Lightning Gun, not to be confused with Link Gun. LG should not be used as an abbreviation for anything in this game.

My main concern with the RL in this game is aquiring tone. If either A) it was really hard to get tone, or B) The rockets didn't turn too hard, and seek too long, then that would be cool. Both being true sucks, and makes them practically useless.

I agree. I hated pre-death animations. What I would like to see is limb disection being possible. Plus, if you shot a guy hard enough and he slides a long distance, I would love to see blood smeared on the ground. I don't think thats too much to ask for.

I don't know, you'd have to check Deacon Black's website.
(see sig)

It's the first website on the google result page.
Gallery 17 I've found a pic which says "Nightfall", but that's probably the description of the pic. There's another one which says "stiletto"...

the rocket launcher's lock is good if you actually sneak up on someone from a distance away, the only thing they'll hear is the whoosh of rockets a fraction of a second before they get blown to bits...

i think that death visual effects should be better than just switching to 3rd person ragdolls, the camera should stick inside the ragdolls and the player can see the direction that the last shot from his enemy made his dead body move and stuff...
currently its just too disorientating to just snap to a 3rd person view when you die and stuff...

I suggest to add this opption: More headshot!!!
in ut99 you can make headshot with almost all of the weapons, that's very fun. tho we don't have to add back so many headshot chances, but you can only do it with sniper is really disappointing. Headshot is a part of the UT spirit!

Rag Dolls suck, its just so boring watching a body bouce away, and turn green and disappear. i want to be able to smear blood everywhere and make my mark.
headshots are way too hard to get in 2kx i think they should be slightly easier but not as easy as 99
sounds are crap and boring in 2kx, no noises of someone all of a sudden being gibbed by a shock combo, and you cant hear someone alt fire the shock rifle.
i liked the "bwooy" sound as you fire a ball of plasma energy.
the ripper was fun firing round corners, and knocking people of the edge in face classic with alt fire.

Look, there's something I don't really .. quite understand...

Do you guys have UT? If you do, do you still have it installed and if not.. WHY?

You obviously seem to love a lot of things about this game?

It's only a 550 mb install. By todays standards that's .. nothing.
Including the bonuspacks and patches.. maybe a little over 600 mb.

Go ahead. Sure, eh.. well the graphics are dated, but the bar has raised on mapping.
At least, there are some really visually interesintg maps around for UT!

Too name one in particular: Dm-CTC-Croon.

You'd be surprised.

Nothing, except your own stubborn self, is keeping you from re-installing UT :O)
And reliving the good old gaming experience ^_^

Gibs, lots of dirrrrrrty decals, hilarious sounds, insane skaarj dodges, nalicows hehe, minigun cha cha cha, excellent weapon sounds, impact hammer, udamage, enforcers, weapons which are meant to kill and deliver, 3 gameplay modes (classic-hardcore-turbo), classic maps, summoning all unreal monsters on the fly, monsterhunt instead of invasion, UT co-op, the great fitting tunes UT has (face, phobos, Kgalleon->lock, phantom, saveme (morpheus), godown (deck16-hyperblast), razor-ub (liandri)...


It's up to you ^_-
