UT2004 demo in hurrrr

[HyperFlash]

You can get it HERE (http://dlx.gamespot.com/dl.html?id=6089219), but you have to sign up first. It's free and easy. If you don't find this convenient, you can look somewhere else.

w00t! Im downloading it at 300kb/s with DAP, so ill be playing it in a matter of moments. I cant fucking wait....the epitome of online multiplayer goodness has arrived.

edit - speed just jumped to 500kb/s and is holding steady... why cant it be like this all the time?!

Does UT2004 have a proper sniper rifle? I really hated that lightning gun. The weapons put me off playing UT2003. They didn't have the same balance as the original UT, which I still like to play. :)

I haven't played a massive amount of 2003 but from what I have, I think I prefer the original.

OK you guys, UT2k4 is teh shit! Yeah they added the sniper back, and kept the lightning gun. The lightning gun is great against vehicles, so i guess thats why they kept it in. Vehicles btw are so sweet as well. I have been playing the demo online for a solid 3 hours...and i just want more and more. In the full version there is a server option to use the original wep models and styles, just like UT1, so that should keep ya happy :D. Btw all you halo purists, you can use a headset a la CS and xbox games, I heard people using them just now. The physics are remarkably good, for example, flying along the ground in the 'Manta' skimmer, I got wasted by some guy with an AVRiL gun (anti-vehicle). I was at such great speed, that after the initial expolosion I was propelled rolling along the ground for ages, trailing smoke all the way. When I was in this state, every time my shattered manta hit a bump, more explosions shook it again, changing its trajectory. I am just in awe of the game, even from the demo.

The full game has over 100 maps, 80 characters (well that includes skins), and 20 mutators. It comes on 6 cd's or 2 dvd's and minimum install is around 5.5 gigs.

...I have funny little spots in front of my eyes... maybe because i didnt blink at all...

apparantly the full version comes with some sort of Maya distrobution.. can anyone comment on the limitations of it?

well Im guessing its teh same 'learning edition' that came with UT2K3. To tell the truth ive been afraid to try it out, as im partial to 3dsmax myself...
