Unreal Tournament 2oo4

i downloaded the demo, and was shocked
the demo is exelent, it has every weapon
in the game! there is a new mode called
onslaught, where you have to capture power
nodes in a "connect-the-dots" fashion, aided
by vehicles, there are TANKS!!!

My Favorite weapon:
Ion Painter
The Ion Painter seems innocuous enough at first glance, emitting a harmless low power laser beam when the primary firing mode is engaged. Several seconds later, a multi-gigawatt orbital ion cannon fires on the target, neutralizing any combatants in the vicinity. Offering increased targeting accuracy via its telescopic sight, (activated by the secondary fire mode of the weapon), it is highly recommended that the user puts considerable distance between themselves and the weapon's area of effect.
The delivery platform for the orbital cannon is the highly effective Variable Altitude Phased Output Remote Weapons Platform (VAPOR WeP). The use of this pacifying system led to a dramatic decrease in incidents of mob violence within colonial boundaries. Hovering high above the terrain, the VAPOR scans for the activation of rifle-mounted targeting lasers. When a beam is located, the platform moves into position and unleashes two terawatts of ionized plasma streams directly onto the target, vaporizing any agitators and bystanders within fifty meters.
The use of the ion painter has decreased in the Tournament in recent times. However, when it is unleashed, it's a sight to behold. There's nothing prettier than the silhouette of an opponents' skeleton dramatically lit from behind by the light storm of an ionic blast.

Sounds cool. Do you have to buy it or can you get it for free (since this is a demo only, the latter option should be the right one, but you never know...).

An idea came to my head and is now desperately searching for brain

I liked UT it had lots of neat mods, mutators, a ton of skins & models, many option menus.
My fav UT mod was Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror, you can still DL the 202MB mod:

http://www.tactical-ops.de/

UT2003 is sadly lacking in quantity and quality in all these regards, IMHO.
I just got UT2004 free demo CD from Best Buy last night and... IT STINKS!

Really. The game runs way too fast on my PC (only 1gig Celeron)
The voices all sound like chipmunks. Maybe 2X too fast. Blea...
But, it's playable enough for me to hate it. One of my pet peeves of 2003/2004:

When you kill a bot in UT it lays there for 10 sec or so and descretely fades out.
By that time combat and you have moved elsewhere on the battlefield.
Not UT2003/4, oh no! About 2 secs later the body turns clear, and to the loud and
highly annoying 'transporter' noise it FLOATS UP and away.. What's up with THAT?
VERY distracting and mood breaking. Hated it. UT2004 still does it. No sale!

too fast?, voices like chipmunks?, i think you have
been in the "stuff" (wink)
but on my PC the bodies last a good 5-6 secconds

strange???

Post Mon Mar 15, 2004 3:25 pm

You are running UT2004 on a 1 GHz machine, and it is too fast?!? What kind of graphics card do you have? A PCI-Express 2-capable 2048MB Radeon 11000XT??!? Yep, something strange is going on with his machine. Duh!

Post Tue Mar 16, 2004 10:04 am

Ya, something is indeed odd, I have 2003 and it don't do this fast-forward.
I have read some stuff about laptops with variable speed doing something similar.
I got a very simple machine, with a mid-power Nvidia card. Maybe a patch will come out.
Still, it's bizzare. Not gonna buy it til it's been in the stores for a year and it's $19.99

In 2003 the bodies float up in as little as 2-3 secs, somtimes longer, depends what
you shoot them with sometimes. All I know is they always seem to wait until they
will cause me maximum distraction before they pop up!
