Unreal Tournament 2003

[Doom_Dude]

I almost bought UT 2003 today. I was at WalFart and saw it for $54 Canadian. I waited so long at the register for service that I got pissed off and left it on the counter.

Anyhow does anybody here have UT 2003? Is it worth the $54 or should I wait until I can get it cheaper? What are the bot matches like? Are they as good as UT? Anyhow any info / opinions on UT 2003 would be nice.

Heh I hate WalFart now. I tried to find some customer service online and it's all geared for US ppl. Bastards. If I find an email address they're getting a pissed off letter. http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/smilies/cwm21.gif

I got it at the weekend. It's really good. Worth buying. Shame how so many folk bash it. The bot matches are good too. A lot of the stuff's cool. The redeemer rocks. You can guide the missle yourself with secondary fire. The ion painter rules. I love blasting a huge crowd with it. if you complete it you get to unlock 3 characters, Malcom, brock and Lauren. Good on a team cos theyt have the best skills. All the bots have a skill rating for 4 aspects such as accuraccy. And there are all sorts of characters. Aliens and robots are some. Get it. http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/biggrin.gif

i bought it to play mods for it when they come out... im into stuff like true combat q3 (the one with iron sights aiming) and thievery unreal tournament (the first ut)...so far no mods have came out for ut2k3...lol...it isn't a bad game...too quakish tho... if i were you i'd get it but not for 54 dollars... thats too expensive wait till it drops to 30... http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/smilies/cwm40.gif

As a rule I never buy anything new - ever. It's been years (literally) since I've bought myself anything over $20. I've given people stuff that was expensive but I buy stuff cheap (or free http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/wink.gif ).

Your going to make an exception to that rule sometime this year, right?

[Doom_Dude]

LOL. Good one Undertaker.

Actually Aliotroph? that's what I do most of the time with games. I wait till they come down to the 30 dollar or lower range unless it's something I really want.

Yeah 54 seems a bit steep even though it came down from $69 when it first came out. I thought UT kicked Quake III's ass and then some. I hope I don't see any Quake IIIishness in UT 2003. I loved all the Quake stuff until QIII came along. It pissed me off right from the start with the first announcement of no Single Player in the game. Then it came out and I just didn't like it as much as UT.

It's not the quake stuff, its quake 3 style gameplay...juss better graphics...the game is average...nothing we haven't seen before...nothing new enough to keep interest...

[The Undertaker]

The fact that it uses PS 1.4 doesn't keep you interested. I get easily addicted to games with eye candy. That is until something better comes along.

[Doom_Dude]

I'm not that picky with wanting games to be innovative. If it plays, looks good and is entertaining then I'll most likely enjoy it for what it is. The only thing that really annoys me is games with garbage controls..... like that frickin' Gothic.

ut2003 has awesome ctrls. Remember the dashes in ut by pressing a direction twice? well if you jump towards a wall the tap, say, away from the wall twice you can wall jump. Its really cool. I want to get the game, the demo is what i have, dl that first. The game imo is nothing like q3. I dont know what defines a game to be like another as far as gameplay - just the genre. I think that ut2003 is more like ut myself (which is far better then q3 too)

[Doom_Dude]

I might get it tomorrow if I can get my ass to go into teh city. That jump move sounds awesome iori and I can't see any Quake III in any of the Unreal games. http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/smile.gif

For now I'm gonna fire up UT and shoot the crap outta some bots. http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/smile.gif

I dunno who said it plays like Q3 but it certainly doesn't. I like all the mutators too. Quad jump, slow motion corpses, and the classic insta-gib wit teh shocky rifles. http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/biggrin.gif

The weapons look quakish. They're all the round. Unlike the first one where they were more square.

[Doom_Dude]

I think that's being a tad picky. http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/tongue.gif

The bots are bipedal so they're Quakeish too. :P

Sorry.

Thanx for the lvl tips Sparky.

I didn't go to the store today so UT 2003 will have to wait. Meanwhile I'll play UT.

Weird thing happened with UT though. I tried to patch to version 436 and during the install it asks for the CD cause it needs some files. Then it says some dumb shit about the botpack file on the CD not being the suspected version and then refuses to update. So I'm stuck with version 428. http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/smilies/cwm36.gif
