    Unhappy UT.....I miss you

    It doesn't matter how much I try....UT3 just isn't.....fun.

    It's pretty, its got fancy weapons, the environments are stunning, the vehicles are interesting....but playability just isn't there

    So I fire up UT - a few servers, but population is very small.
    UT2004 shows the same problem - some servers out there, but very few people.

    So I'm sitting here in dire need of a UT fix and it doesn't seem to matter what route I look at, I ain't going to get it

    Guess I'm going to have to drag myself to one of the LANs

    Re: UT.....I miss you

    in agreement...

    UT3 is too much like gears of war (yes they are both made by epic!... but that is no excuse...).. it's just ruined the UT concept.. it's too slow and cumbersome to be UT

    UT should be all out insane death that is why it's hell'a'lot of fun

    Re: UT.....I miss you

    Yeah gotta admit I bored of the latest UT pretty quick, was a great game, it just felt like other FPS' though. Not enough speed and lunacy to make it stand out like the older ones. I played the original UT for years back in the day, stonking game with some great mods.

    Re: UT.....I miss you

    UT3 would have been much better if it had the various game options like the original did. UT3 needs the Morpheus map too. Insane building jumping in low gravity while hitting headshots with the sniper rifle in midair FTW!

    I can notice a difference but I still play it and find it fun. I love chasing my mates with the impact hammer and hearing them shout on vent as I almost blast them up

    It's true without friends to play with it doesn't feel as fun as UT. UT had dark nighttime levels but UT3 is all on the day and thats another thing I didn't like.

    Re: UT.....I miss you

    UT3? I bought, played single gamer for about three weeks, got me's lots of custom maps - and then got bored with it.

    I didn't get bored with ALL of the previous UT's.

    I guess that sums up what I think of it.

    And all the UT3 online players, the few that there are, seem to be diehard pros and I never ever seem to do very well

    Or maybe I'm just crap......

    Colour me disappointed.

    I got on an instagib server once and I was killing like crazy shooting up the scoreboard on my team, I did think am I playing against bots but they had weird and rude names that no bots would be named and they did have pings <> 0 so the players online aren't hard.. or I'm just good

    Hell yeah they need to get Morpheus back, but personally I quite enjoyed UT3, still playing it from time to time. I do think its slowed down a bit from back in the day though, I think it might be because the maps all feel a lot bigger so your not always up in the action no matter what. I still think its a good game though.

    Re: UT.....I miss you

    I cannot remember if I preferred UT2003 or UT. 2004 was cumbersome and the weapon balance was rubbish IMO. UT3 (really 4 duhh!) is OK, but I agree too much in the GoW following.

    Quake 2 was THE game though. Man I loved that. Not had a feeling since I did death match on that.

    Same here, could be just nostalgia but I think Q2 DM was maybe the best buzz I've had playing a game.
