I love ya guys. Everyone has great opinions on both UT3 and UT2K4. I guess from a coders view, im just a little disappointed. Minly the Graphical User Interface (GUI) throughout the game. Not user friendly.

Anyways, as you may know, UT3 will not have invasion. It would not be hard for me to create but I don't know if I will jump into right away. We will see, after awhile I may get use to the way UT3 is layed out.

Because of the demo, havent decided to run ut3 dedicated server yet. Will wait until the real version comes out and analyze it.

If we don't like UT3 as much, then I will tell you what. I will REDO the whole RPG and Monster system in UT2k4. I have a server with 4 CPUs, I can mod another server with WOP RPG ONS and CTF. It would be easy for me to divide RPG databases like...

If (Gametype... huma huma, then use game type associated RPG database...

RPG_ONS.INI
RPG_INV.INI
RPG_CTF.INI
RPG_AS.INI

...too easy!

Imagine all the stuff we have here being used in those game types. Even squad summon (like monster summon). To where you can spawn a squad on soldiers with sniper rifles, Grenade Launchers, RL, etc. If you kill a player, he/she drops powerups and drops all the goodies he had in inventory. It would be nuts.

These are the things Ut3 should have done, improve the game types with new stuff. Reskinning the same weapons and vehicles just isnt enough and the games are the same. Hover board and Walker was cool but we need more. I havent checked out the ranking system yet in UT3. If its like UT2k4 Ranking system than its a waste of programming becuase it doesnt reflect honors during game play. What made BATTLE FIELD 2 so popular is the players show there ranking in game. Also you earn awards and badges.

God I wish didnt deny me working for them because I didnt want to move away from Fort Hood. I could have done so much crazy fun stuff to expand game play for every game type.

In the meantime, working on patching this UT2k4 server with lots of new stuff. Oh by the way, I think you guys are going to like the new sentinels. Vaptor almost has all bugs worked out. It will be a summoned weapon, monster drop, and inside the weapons chest. This is just an idea, we can see how people like it.

As I said earlier, the server has 4 CPUs. 2 of them will keep reserve for UT3. I am only using one for Invasion and other for BattleField 2.

I was thinking of moding up BF2 with monsters, powerups, etc... just like UT Invasion, lol It would be the first "Battle Field 2 Invasion" server in the world lol. For you BF2 players, can you imagine a QUEEN standing next to your outpost and it took 20 frag grenades to kill it? ROFL! Commander, "WE LOST CONTROL OF AN OUTPOST!" How about a TITAN on top of a building throwing rocks? LMAO How about WOP Weapons and pu???? How about spawning a bunker using the bunker artifact? hehehehe

Could also make that when you kill players, they drop pu and wops, lol

i think its really unfair to compare ut2k4 which has been out for 4 years of mods and a game that hasnt been resealed yet.

if u want something to compare then compare the demo beta of ut2k4 to the demo beta of ut3

go back and play the demo of ut2k4 and tell me there is no difference between that and what ur playing now

lets not start judging the game until its actual released with some mods.

Sup all,

I think the demo looks and plays very well. I am looking forward to the full release. I remember the the UT2004 demo release and think this is on par.
This is also labeled a 'beta' demo, so lets hope that the finished demo does away with painful GUI, and intros some of the other game types and weapons.
I have my fingers crossed that Joey and Co use their abundant skills to develop an invasion mod in record time.

Regards

I think this password means that you need a windows live account to play (like xbox live you pay $50 a year or month or something like that) So that means you have to pay to upgrade your system, pay to buy the game, and pay to play online using the internet that your already paying for along with paying to even play multiplayer online. That sounds like a bunch of bs to me. As I said before and Ill say it again BATTLEFIELD 2 IN PATCH 180 BABY!

Yeah, "F" that pay-to-play BS. I'm already paying to play the game at the store's checkout, and now they wanna charge me a monthly fee? OH HELLZ NO! If there is a monthly fee, then there's NO WAY I'll be upgrading to UT3. Besides, MMadness already rules balls!

Hey Joey - any chance that you'll be doing any mods for TeamFortress 2? They could really use some more maps and bots! LOL! Otherwise that game ROCKZ BALLS!
I will consistently sacrifice political correctness for an attempt at humor. If ya can't deal, then ya need ta stop being ign'ant.

I don't believe that there will be any fee over time, the login system is most likely for stat tracking and such like bf2

There will be No Fee to play online. The online login is used as a way to track stats and do rankings (a poor attempt made on the UT2004 stats tracker.)
