What she playing there?

So, I guess it was a mistake having Loque included in multiplayer with NW3 considering the fucker is a deadshot with almost everything.

>>3836667

Heh, I've never really tried NW3 with Loque. I'm guessing it's hitscan heavy?

Him and Tamerlane are a lot more reasonable if you use mods with a majority of weapons being projectile weapons, though that means you have less of an advantage if they're on your team in CTF, TDM, or Domination.

After playing mods like NW3 and U4E, ChaosUT isn't really that interesting.

Quake > UT

>>3837007
Not so much as hitscan heavy, but a lot of the weapons are broken with huge AoE damage. If the direct hit from the projectiles don't kill you, then the splash damage will.

Unreal has possibly the greatest singleplayer campaign in history in an FPS.
The game felt like a true journey, and I don't think there will ever be anything quite like it.
I have never seen any other FPS ever deliver the same sense of adventure ever again. The campaign felt like a journey of the ages from start to finish.
My only possible complaint is that it was more tech demo-y than game-y.

>>3841464
Pretty sure some of the bots would start telefragging each other because of the limited spawn points, but I'm sure that can be changed in UE.

>>3839789
I was shocked to learn how lighter on content the PS2 version was compared to the Dreamcast. Apparently, you can't even play Domination, Assault, or TDM in 2 player splitscreen in the PS2 version. Also it has a lot less maps compared to DC.

>>3838701
>My only possible complaint is that it was more tech demo-y than game-y.
It was tech-demo-y in a good way though. I'd consider Quake 3 to be a "bad" tech demo kind of game.

>>3845910
I used to play Siege a lot around 2005-2009, it's probably a lot different now but I remember that you could build through thinner walls if you were close enough (me and a friend loved doing this on hillforts, get boots to jump next to the room with the core, build a tele inside while you're midair, then seal it up from inside with containers and fuck the core up with guardians).

>>3846757
???
They made Quake 3 with good deathmatch performance in mind unlike Q1 and Q2.

>>3846754

I never use the M16 in U4E exactly for that reason. If Loque has it, you are dead as soon as he looks at you.

>>3846770
And also hideously unimaginative, showcasing the engine's features (because it really was the most impressive engine at the time) but making a rather limited game otherwise. Just compare Q3 to UT, in the latter you get castles on asteroids, space ships, pressure chambers, oilrigs, military frigates, cyberpunk cities, egyptian themed levels etc, while in Quake it's all boring brown corridors. Yes they gave it the most well balanced DM of any game up until then, but other than that the game just felt like an entry title to put idTech3 out there with DM slapped on just to get a feel for it. Kind of in the same crappy way that UT2k3 or Unreal 2 came out.

In Unreal 1, the "tech demo" aspect is more present in how they tried to show all sorts of impressive environments, but it also had a great game to go with it, it doesn't feel like the game itself was just made to show UE1.

Also what's the deal with Epic's later engines all having some fuckup that wasn't present in UE1?

UE2 - shitty loading times
UE3 - CPU bottlenecks like crazy, texture streaming issues
UE4 - garbage mouse input

>>3846789
I don't think you've played Q3 there's tons of variety between maps when it comes to visuals and graphically it blows UT out of the water and definitely has more variety over UT. What UT has is visual consistency over Q3 where all the maps fit a completely different aesthetic. UT has some iconic maps like Facing Worlds but that's actually a shit and boring map to play CTF online. Q3 is just the pure deathmatch experience while UT99 goes for content.

>>3846803
>Q3
>tons of variety
As in brown corridors, more brown corridors and yet more brown corridors. Of course the graphics are technically better than UT's, UE1 was made before even idTech1. But the art and design suck. The DM is the most developed you could get in 1999, but overall to me the game just felt like a package of next gen engine + deathmatch.

>>3846789

I liked how UE1 and, to a lesser extent, UE2 had their own "feel" that made it easy to tell you were playing an Unreal Engine game, like the special effects that felt like they were taken from old demoscene demos.

UE3 got rid of everything that made UE1 unique and it became a generic video game engine, just with texture streaming problems and a shitty save system.

>>3847243
I definitely feel that way too. UE1 and Dark Engine had this "heavy" feel to them, it's hard to describe without saying vague bullshit, I don't know, but for instance Source engines just don't feel right for me, like everything is hollow or something.

>>3846803
UT had the better aesthetic because it had the visual clarity Quake 3 didn't have. Quake was always brown and muddy

>>3846789
>Shitty loading times
I don't recall that ever happening

What's going on at Epic Games? The new UT is still in pre-alpha almost 2 years after it was first revealed, while the new Quake is already nearing closed beta mere months after it was announced.

UT99 looks better though, artistically at least. It looked dark and space-gothic in a unique way that I haven't seen in any other game, 2k4 is cartoony.

>>3848952

UT99 ha quite a bit of power hidden in it. With the right amount of work, you can make maps that approach UT2k4 in quality.

>>3849686
It's mostly a matter of importing higher poly static meshes and using them liberally.

>>3849746

I figured but it's still pretty neat.

I love how pretty Unreal's skyboxes are. Even today, they're still really nice, especially the nighttime ones.

Epic tried to pawn off almost all of the art to third parties so they wouldn't have to spend any money themselves, and only two or so guys actually did it for free.

Return to Na Pali Ultimate Edition is really, really good. The old beta maps the team polished up and seamlessly added to the campaign are awesome, particularly Morose and Soledad. There's also a lot of difficulty tweaks that make it a bit harder, especially in the final level, which goes from "boring" to "OH SHIT".
And, it removes the godawful intermission voiceovers that would play after beating a map.

My main complaints are that the middle of the campaign makes you rely too much on the Flak Cannon because of a lack of ammo for other weapons and the Merc Shipping Lanes and Cryox have bots with beefed-up HP as regular enemies, but otherwise it makes RTNP a lot better and much closer to the original campaign in terms of length and quality. Play it, no matter if you have or haven't played RTNP before.

Since the latest update fixed a lot of co-op related problems, I think it would be fun if we did a /vr/ co-op session(s) of RTNP Ultimate Edition one day.

Pic related is my kill count right before the ending.

>>3848050
You forgot how Fortnite was announced when CliffyB stopped making Gears many years ago and it STILL isn't out. Nobody even knows a goddamn thing about it other than being a Minecraft clone, as if people still give a shit about that today.

What would it take to tweak the Unreal Engine to make Quake strafe-jumping possible?

>>3848050
The new UT is a side project done by a 4-man team of interns, designed almost purely to show off the technical capabilities of UE4 (which granted, is a good engine).

Epic Games rightly sees that there's no money in arena shooters and just wants the bare minimum for UT in order to show off the new engine.

>>3856170
Don't forget to bind keys to summon vast armies of Mercenaries, Skaarj and Krall to go along.

>>3856813
>which granted, is a good engine
It really isn't though. Aside from UT4 itself which is mostly just blockout maps anyway, the performance is shit and the mouse input is craptacular.

If I want to get into Unreal Tournament, which games do I play?

>>3856949
UT99 (the first) and UT2K4 are the good ones. There's also Unreal Championship 2 on Xbox that mixes first person shooting with third person sword combat, really cool game.

>>3836267
>>3838714
Wait, why is there a chainsaw on the box art? I don't remember there being a chainsaw in UT, is my memory that bad?

>>3857128

It's an optional weapon you can replace the Impact Hammer with via a mutator.

>>3846770

Q3 was mindnumbingly boring to me at the time. Just bounce around like a tennis ball and shoot one of like 5 weapons (with just one fire mode) on boring platform levels.

>>3846803

Even at the time I was completely unimpressed with the strange glossy graphics of Q3, I thought UT looked way better. Also, Q3 is just BROWN-GRAY-SKULLS-METAL, fucking boring

>>3846770
Sure but outside that autistic competitive group not that many people were into that kind of thing. Just look at the kind of support UT99 had for years after release, while Quake 3 definitely had the community support, it wasn't really as big or as great as UT, and because the game's main focus was on competition when the next big esport, Counter-Strike came out officially, Q3 nearly dropped to second-place over night.

And UT2004 did the whole 1v1 shtick better anyways.

>>3856949
start with unreal tournament 99, then on to unreal tournament 2004.

>>3857302
It felt like an alpha build compared to the amount of content UT had.
>>3857458
>Quake 3 definitely had the community support
Was it just me being dumb, or was modding Q3 engine games way harder than with UT? I was about 11 when I started modding UT but I picked up on it really fast - certain filetypes went into certain folders, .umod files install the mods with a few clicks and the god-tier U-windows menu made it really easy to configure everything (seriously, why doesn't every single game in existence use that menu?). With Q3 engine games I found it less intuitive to install and manage mods, and had lots of issues regarding mod compatibility, while in UT you could even use StuffSwapper to make retarded mixes of weapons/powerups from vanilla and mods.

>>3857458
Quake 3 and Quake Live are currently the most active arena FPS games by far in terms of player count. Interesting narrative.

>>3857807
considering that they released the source code for Q3 a while ago and Quake Live is just a free to play version of Q3.

>>3857791
>UT2k4
The singleplayer would have been god-tier if they added a bit more micromanagement/a deeper career mode.

>>3857807
Comparing 300 people to 100 people doesn't exactly make Quake seem like the winner.

>>3857792
I'm completely biased when it comes to Engines because Unreal was seriously one of the easiest engines to do anything with ever. Both UT2k4 and 99 were super easy to host servers on and even the hardest one to do anything with, UT3, was still relatively easy compared to most games.

I'm refraining judgement on the other UT game but I do know that UE4 is amazing for me to use. Blueprint is seriously a Godsend. I wonder why Unity is used as the "engine for newbies" when UE4 exists.

>UT2004 was your God game
>it played so much smoother than UT99
>so many more options
>looks amazing, even today
>every time you try to talk about Unreal online everyone just circlejerks about UT99 and never talks about the other games at all

>>3858813

>>3858064
Quake live now is a complete retail game

>>3858813
There was a split in the community and a lot of people never really liked 2k4 even if it was still a successful game.

>>3858953
It makes me wonder why I even have UT2004 installed on my hard drive if Ut99 is where the players still exist.

It makes me wonder if my opinions are wrong.

>>3858956
tfw Siege never took off on 2k4

>>3857272
Huh, I guess I never played with that mutator before. I guess it's a more recognizable weapon to put on the box but I'm surprised that they advertised the game with an optional weapon that had to be manually activated on the server

UT3's Greed is such a fantastic gamemode, is there a mod that brings it to UT99?

I hope you have an aureal card and run windows 98. Enable 3D sound in the sound option menu with "Use hardware 3d sound". The audio system auto detects if you have EAX or A3D support and enables accordingly. To make sure its working you can check the game's log file, it'll say something like this:

Init: Galaxy is using DirectSound
Init: Aureal A3D 2.x 3D sound hardware found!

I found a similar gamemode to what I'm looking for, called Headhunters. Apparently it's based off a custom gamemode that first appeared in Quake. The main difference from Greed is that it uses DM and DOM maps instead of CTF, and that it's free-for-all instead of team-based. The interesting thing is that the locations of the "altars" where you deliver the heads to are randomized in DM maps. The dropped heads are affected by physics and fly and bounce around a lot and are pretty difficult to spot, I think the UT3 system where it uses giant color-coded skulls and numbers floating on player's heads indicating how many skulls they're carrying is more elegant.

This is a really fun gamemode and the bots are pretty good at it too. It's a lot more challenging than DM.

>>3839789

I know most people like playing big bot count games, but I definitely enjoy 3 Godlike/Nightmare bots in maps optimized for 4 players a lot more. I would love to play in the exclusive console maps again but last time I checked, they had retarded bugs on PC.

Unreal Tournament as a series will never be anything more than an FPS sandbox. It's fun as hell to fuck around in all of the gamemodes and maps UT '99 and UT2k4 offer but neither of them will ever be better than Quake III Arena simply because it has the mechanics and balancing over anything else. It's too hardcore and raw for casual players so most of them stick to UT on that reason alone. If you're going to call a game absolute shit because of it's aesthetics, you're worse than the people who are a-ok with 24.5fps.

>>3858813
I like UT2k4 over UT '99 because it has better custom models for MapMixer and BotMixer.

Wot? The only people who argue that UT2k4 wasn't a well-balanced competitive game are the kind of people that want to start shit over nothing.

Anyone who actually played UT2k4 duels knows that the game is about as good of a ruleset as it could get, and even UTComp added few tweaks.

>>3864557
oh hell yeah, Ballistics was the fucking shit! too bad it ain't fun with bots because you have to either reduce recoil or just stick to playing with real people. Really loved how the made gore in this game enjoyable with the pools of blood and blood trails. Gibs were still gay though because Unreal Engine 2. I also liked playing the dinosaur mod and that invasion mod that spawns a fuck ton of mobs in waves but you also get cool weapons. The mod that was supposed to make UT2k4 competitive somewhat did the job but it's still just dumb fun.

>>3866469

Dodgejumps were not broken, I have no issue hitting characters, and how does dominance of hitscan change from UT99's gdlk sniper rifle?

So, quick question, is the playerbase mostly in America or Europe these days? I'm mostly asking because I'd like to go and buy the UT'99 for old times sake to play a few matches, but if I'd have to do it with 200+ ping I'd be less inclined to do so.

>>3883048
Most servers are equipped with lag compensation, so even if you have 100 or more ping, you can play as if you have 20 ping

>>3866352
Looks like they used models from Tactical Ops mod, Unreal Movie Maker. It's hard to tell but that's my guess

Which engine is the best? UE1, 2, 3, or 4?

>>3903485
>2.5 not included
Already saw shit

>>3903485
1 and 2 are objectively the best, 3 is where the quality dipped far down, 4 doesn't have much to show yet

>>3903485
1 - great modability, mouse input, netcode (slap a zeroping mod and it's playable up to 200ish ping), looked beautiful for the time.

2 - Still good in many ways and well optimized for most systems but loading times could be awful (Unreal 2 was probably the worst offender, 2k4 was sometimes pretty bad too).

3 - an engine made for AAA console games. Only good games were the ones that developers took time to optimize, texture streaming causes tons of issues and input can be iffy.

4 - complete basket case when it comes to mouse input, netcode has also been shit so far, performance is crap in many games. I have played a few UE4 games (UT4, Lawbreakers, Squad) and they all had atrocious mouse input, I doubt that any UE4 games will even manage to nail down input properly, and UT4 is the only one that doesn't run like complete shit performance wise.

i always liked the console ports UT & quake arena better largely because of split screen with bots

i remember playing UT splitscreen with my friend whenever i was over at his house.

it kinda sucks how they've ultimately phased out that feature in favor of online play

>>3838714
Not a port but...
>Unreal Championship 2
It's basically Quake Champions but for Unreal Tournament and literally no one bitched

>>3915026
It's a spinoff that came out around the same time as a mainline release; original fans were happy with UT2004 and they could check out UC2 as an extra. And it has bots and a singleplayer mode. And it's not microtransaction-driven. And it was doing something unique at the time instead of riding on the coattails of the latest trend.

>>3915034
>riding on the coattails of the latest trend
It isn't "the latest trend" though, there have been class shooters for what, 10 years now? You know Quake Wars was a thing right?

>>3915204
>there have been class shooters for what, 10 years now?
Actually more like 20, I mistyped.

>>3915204
Quake Wars, like all class-based games of its time, was designed with a small and tightly balanced set of basic class archetypes that must ALL be used by the team throughout the match to succeed — they're not designed like "heroes" in MOBAs or Overwatch. There are no hero tiers. They don't all have the same number of "abilities", some classes have twice as much more tools than others.

The new, yet rigid and predictable take on class-based games is the trend now and Quake Champions is clearly looking to capitalize on it, along with the loot crate + microtransaction business model. And dragging out the corpse of QW to cite it as lineage to somehow make Quake Champions look more righteous than a cash grab is such an insult to any fan of QW.

>>3915307
>must ALL be used by the team
I actually didn't play QW, but in ET people just stacked tons of medics in their team. Also after QW came Dirty Bomb, which also further separates classes into characters and the gameplay at its core is still in the same vein as the Enemy Territory-type games were. There's nothing inherently wrong with class based shooters. Just because Overwatch exists and is poop, that does not automatically ruin the genre as a whole.

>>3915327
>There's nothing inherently wrong with class based shooters.

Nobody is saying that. What I'm saying is that Quake Champions is clearly imitating Overwatch's particular style of classes. Even if you disagree, that's what most people see and is a large reason for the skepticism surrounding the game, which was the point of discussion you brought up.

And no, the strategy you're talking about wouldn't work in QW. Vehicles and deployables make a good job of keeping each class relevant. It's a superbly balanced game.

>>3915378
Derp, I meant "nobody is saying otherwise"

>>3915378
>Quake Champions is clearly imitating Overwatch's particular style of classes
So are there "hardcounter" matchups where you lose/win because of which champion each player picked? Because that's what OW's style is. In Dirty Bomb or even Paladins most of the time you can win a 1v1 fight if you simply outskill the other player, in OW it's nigh impossible to win several matchups if the other player has a half-functioning brain.

>>3915402
If it's not Overwatch's style, then it's Dirty Bomb's or Paladins'. Pick whatever you want. The whole heroes thing is still a different style from QW or Battlefield and the other class-based shooters of their time.

Can someone explain to me what the issue with mouse input is in UE4 that makes everyone hate the engine so much?

>>3915432
It just feels like moving your mouse over a surface covered in molasses, tracking someone's movement is super finicky, flicking to someone is always a little bit off. Just load up UT99 and UT4 and feel for yourself, it's like night and day.

>>3915034
>And it's not microtransaction-driven

outside of the buy 2 play option isn't it all cosmetics anyway?

i heard you can unlock the other champions by just playing the game if you went for the F2P option

>>3915307
>>3915378

a firend of mine played it at PAX and it's pretty good from what he said but i'm still waiting on the announcement of an option to turn off hero abilities as a matchmaking/custom gane/server option

>>3915446
Maybe I just can't tell because I can't flick for my life, I've just learned to aim by compensation with my character movement.

>>3915461
Well flicking is always inconsistent and not a very good way to aim aside from getting flashy kills on occasion, but when 9 year old me could get on top of Facing Worlds and consistently hit those Novice bots with the sniper rifle while my current self can't get consistent hits in the same situation playing UT4 against easy bots that just walk in straight lines something is definitely wrong. Last week I played some flag run in UT4, all of my kills felt very unsatisfying and not well earned, then I played Siege in UT99 and had several cool fights with snipers and pulse gun 1v1 tracking duels where both me and the other players could consistently track each other..

>>3915453
By microtransaction-driven, I mean that the game's business model is based on the idea of profiting from microtransactions. The publisher expects to make money from them and they'll do that by pressuring the player to spend money.

Time and time again with F2P shooters, the microtransactions always start out minimal and innocuous then after some time the publisher makes it more and more integral to the gameplay once it has captured a large userbase. Eventually, playing without paying becomes a tedious experience of grinding and boosting for something you're expected to pay for.

>>3915474
fair enough.

i don't mind it as much so long as it's just cosmetics like CS:GO, halo 5 (outside of the stuff used for the warzone but nobody plays warzone) & overwatch. and in the last 2 cases it lead to them having 1 of the best DLC policies of this gen

>>3915034
A spin-off that had a nice story to the SP. I wish Epic did something like that for UT4 where it's Tournament based instead of how UT3 approached it.

so what happens to Prisoner 849? Does she just drifts into space for the rest of her life or does she eventually get found. Personal headcanon is that she manages to get off the ship and participate in the Tournament when it was illegal before the they passed that law.

>>3915807
If I was her I'd just chill out at Na Pali, it's such a beautiful place. Plus at a certain point she's already heavily armed and used to the living conditions of the planet, she could just live off of Nali healing plants, rabbits and Nali cows and sleep in an abandoned Nali house.

I know "not retro", but it seems the upcoming Widowmaker skin in Overwatch may be referencing classic Unreal Tournament. Or I'm just wishfully thinking.

>>3916506
She almost looks like one of them

>>3915818
And the nali at that point would've welcomed her with open arms.

>>3915807
We will never know what happens since Epic sucks at making good stories.

>>3918570
Unreal had a nice lore at the time. It was simple and enjoyable. Let's just pretend Unreal 2 and UT3 never happened.

>>3918767
A good lore, but for some reason they can't even use it properly. They were able to make two novels for Unreal, I don't see how difficult it is to make a couple games that sort of expand the universe in the Tournament perspective. It doesn't have to be strictly in the Tournament but maybe telling one of the competitor's story.

>>3839789
framerate was ass on both.
Don't even get me started when you play in split screen.

>>3916506

>>3920135

>>3920135

>>3919940
Don't recall framerate being that bad with split screen.

>>3919910
wait, they actually made books for Unreal?

>>3915026
UC2 was fantastic and tried to be unique, unlike UC1 which was basically a console port of UT2K3.

>>3922562
Yeah, they were about other survivors of the Vortex Riker

>>3922664
It's one of those games that should've been ported to PC. It's ridiculous trying to pull of those instant kill combos with the controller.

so what's going on with the new UT?

>>3924701
Too much confidence in Unreal Engine 4.
It's already selling like hotcake, why bothering with making a showcase game for it?
Valve need to hurry with the Source Engine 2, so Epic finally feel a little frightened.

>>3924701
The team is still small as fuck, they used to make update videos every week but now it's whenever they feel like it, patches take a while to push out, and some of the balances on weapons still need to be worked out.

>>3915402
It welcomes new players into the game, and they can slowly adjust themselves to playing without the abilities.

do people still play this game or not?

>>3912534
>Make the Necris completely nude, fighting in the Tournament that is being televised and seen by everyone around the universe

>>3922562
Two books that publishers really messed up on.

>>3927427
You have to find the right time for some servers to be populated.

>>3913658
Even on the fastest systems, the loading shouldn't be too long.

>>3879791
I wish there were more of these for UT99.

If epic wanted to make a new game, have it focus the Skaarj. So many of the games let you play them so why not have the main character one of them?

A group of people in the same forums are remaking Unreal in UE4.
UT99 and UT2k4 are still populated with people and there's a group that actively hosts them on schedule.

>>3933893
Remake is still gonna be about same experience.

I'm not that guy, but I want something new in the vein of Unreal - a lone guy against a beautiful alien world. Levels that combine same aspects of linear and non-linear segments, and feel like actual places. Enemies that are dangerous because of their behaviour, not because they just have a lot of HP. Weapons that at least try to be different from standard ass-rifle,sniper rifle,minigun, rocketlauncher.

For some reason modern developers think that retro-shooter means "kill alll monster in this room, advance to next room, repeat". This is Painkiller/Serious sam, not retro like Doom/Quake/Unreal.

As someone who's enjoyed Unreal Tournament for years and hasn't been able to finish Unreal's single player, maybe we're just two sides of the same coin. Though I love single player games and I love Unreal, I'm not sure why I got distracted from it last two times I played.

Still though, why not try playing with my group? You might like Invasion mode. You team up against the monsters from Unreal.

it'll be nice to see the first game with updated graphics with the same gameplay, along with minor changes. If you look at the Black Mesa mod, it did really well in remaking HL. All it did was add some stuff to the single-player to change the experience.

Would be nice if the success of Quake Champions made Epic reconsider allocating real time and resources to UE4 instead of whatever the hell they're doing with it now. Has Paragon been a financial success for them?

>>3934660
I don't think Epic even cares at this point, they just feed off of Unreal Engine licenses and occasional Gears of War cash grabs.

>>3934660
*UT4

>>3934670
They should be marketing UT4 if they want more players involved. Epic has been focusing too much on the "pro" league for a pre-alpha game.

I used to play a lot of Unreal co-op online back in the day, and I always wanted to know, I could never find it with googling..

There was a server with an admin or admins that could actually shrink players/monsters. How the fuck did that happen? I always wanted to do a tiny playthrough.

>>3935481
Probably a console command to shrink.

>>3937054
Not so much a console command, but a mod more likely tied to the server.

while UT has good music, I still think Unreal Gold has the best music out of the games.

>>3937758
>>3937054
yeah I've looked over the years for a console command to do so and turned up empty handed.

I guess nobody here has any clue about the mod, huh?

>>3937832
You can try checking in the oldunreal forums.

>>3933893
Green text guy here, I would definitely love to replay Unreal and RTNP in HD if it comes out, hell, I'd even pay for it. I'll check the forums.

>>3933991
Man, I swear I played that so much in ut2k4 (and also in ut2k3 when it came out with the update). It's a bit unexpected that nobody used the invasion mode contents to create a sequel to RTNP/Old Unreal.
I've seen Unreal Coop Alpha but the project never went anywhere.

Do you know Misty's Playground Invasion server? I lurked there a lot back then, I was a bit of an ass kid so I don't know if they have any good memory about me kek, though I checked the stats and they haven't hosted a game since around 2008, unless the admin changed name.

>>3937909
Is that by any chance the RPG Invasion server?

>>3938619
They had a lot of cool mutators, I remember something with levels too, though I'm not sure it's the same you're talking about, still, I left the server around 2006 so I can't exclude they might have added some other mutator after that. It was hosted in Germany.

>>3938701
Ah, then it wasn't the server I played. There was an Invasion server that added RPG elements, so you can make your weapons have different elements like poison damage and leveling up your character.

just pirate it nigga

I hope the same composers will return for UT4

>>3940476
Is it against rules to post a link to just download the game instead of buying it?

>>3943108
Nope. But it is against the rules to request downloads outside of /r/ or /wsr/.

>>3943118
Man I don't care either, I'm just sayin'.

>>3933893
>people in the same forums are remaking Unreal in UE4.
Does it have a project name? I didn't find anything related in the forums.

Now this reminds me about Legend of Vandora. Anyone knows what I'm talking about?
Some concept maps were released but the project was never completed, it was supposed to be a new single player/coop mod based on the Unreal universe, for UT2k4 iirc.

I remember some single player mod for UT which had a bit of a System Shock 2/Vortex Rikers vibe about waking up in a ship where something had gone wrong and having just a basic melee weapon at the beginning, also the graphics were blue as fuck. Anyone remembers this?

Is it Spatial Fear?

Why is Unreal Tournament looked down upon compared to Quake III?

>>3858813
Naw man, UT2K4 is the shit.
>all those custom models and voicepacks

>>3947040
because its fisher price arena shooting and dead

>>3946984
Seems blue enough, I think so.

>>3947040
It's not though, both are different games. I prefer UT's combat because the movement is better since you can either ADAD or dodge which Quake lacks, and you can't just sanic around the map collecting everything just spamming in the general direction of the enemy which they changed in UT2k4 with the dodge jump and was part of why I didn't like it.

Early Unreal Tournament wasn't focused entirely on movement, which Quake 3 had a lot going for. They are both two different games with different merits that make them stand out.

In UT2k4 there was a Mothership map (Assault mode) in space with human and skaarj space vehicles and a huge skaarj mothership that could be walked inside deeply (there were capture points, turrets and stuff), it was a good design concept that could be used nicely with space-based environment, but sadly nobody got inspired enough to put it to good use.

I wonder where have all these Epic Games designers who made these maps/vehicles gone? did some bigger company buy them off? UT3 looked like completely different unreal universe for me, it dropped all the unreal concepts that I liked the most.

>UT3 looked like completely different unreal universe for me
Tbh the aesthetics changed a lot from each Unreal generation.

UT99 was space-gothic

UT2k3-4 was more colorful and Egyptian.

UT3 had to look like a mess of greybrown grittyness to be associated with gears of war

>>3948429
The Egyptian theme was really out of the blue in UT2k3, though BR-Anubis was probably my favorite map, there was also a DOM labyrinth-like map without ceiling that was fun to play in instagib invasion with jump boots mutator.
Though, there were many good-looking remakes of Unreal DM maps too, many of the player-made remakes were neat as well, like DM-Tundra and Healpod (also pic related), somewhere I got a dozen CDs full of UT2k3/2k4 maps and mods, I'll try uploading some stuff when I find them.

>>3948428
I think someone does pick up the project

>>3933223
when do you host games?

my earliest memories of gaming is unreal tournament. have that sound track ingrained into my sub conscious.

>>3948414
Convoy and Mothership were so mindblowing to me back then. It's hard to accept that Convoy was so fucking good because of a 3D skybox illusion.

>There will never be another UT game where it takes place before UT99, where you get involved in illegal fights with prototype versions of the weapons.

>final boss is an early version of Xan

>>3952268
His name is axon, and he was literally the best character model in ut2k4

>>3952531
I thought Axon was just another robot that used Xan Mk3's design?

>>3953029
I had to look it up, turns out axon was the first liandri corporation warrior outfitted with xan's mk3 armor

>>3952268
or the person who started Liandri. Based on Xan's bios they are the same person.

>>3948462
UPload that shit

>>3930864
I read a tweak guide for UT2k4 and it suggested to set compress textures to off only if you had over 256mb of RAM. I had a little chuckle.

>>3955936
the fuck? why do old games have to shit out on newer systems?

>>3836267
Finally dug the PC out of my shed and I'm posting to /vr/ from it right now. UT99 is installed, the server files are downloading. This will be a from scratch server, so try to bear with me here. As of right now I am unsure if port forwarding will be an issue, but monday I will call the phone company and get the user name and password for the router.

>>3957913
uz.ut-files.com is this a good enough map lista?

>>3958049
hory shit, that should be good enough.

>>3958790
Okay, cool. The map voting mutator I'm using is *supposedly* capable of using up to just under 5000 maps, so I figure the "official" redirect is a good map list for this scenario.

>>3958896
Okay, so the server is running, I was able to connect to it locally, I was able to play a match with bots, and the map vote plugin works and switches game modes as desired. The only downfall is it will only show maps hosted on the server despite downloading them remotely, so I'll be adding maps per-request for the time being. I will call the phone company tomorrow about getting the login information so I can forward the ports so you fine folks can connect and join the fun.

>>3959540
Yeah, you need to get whatever maps you want that is on the list to your side. The redirect is there so that people are not downloading the maps from you, only from the redirect. If they were to download the maps from you, it would take ages. With the redirect it takes a couple of seconds to download what needed.

>>3959962
Yes, I realize that, I was hoping that 18 years after the game was released someone would have made a mutator by now that listed what was available on the redirect. It's no huge deal, I just wish I could download all 96 gigs of maps at once and put them in my map folder, especially since UTfiles doesn't seem to have them sorted very well.


Hopefully tomorrow I'll have it public and we can start doing daily/semi-daily map adds for a while. I don't have to restart the server to add maps so adding them isn't a big deal either. However, there will be more frequent restarts as mutators and game modes are tweaked.

You can grab those files by appending the file name after the url so like this
>uz.ut-files.com/mapname

The files that you're getting are compressed, so you need to decompress them using ucc.exe
http://www.unrealadmin.org/forums/showthread.php?t=6726

You can also use UTGM to decompress it
http://www.ut-files.com/index.php?dir=Utilities/

The only problem is that you want to find the right map that works for UT99 because that list you're looking at combines all of UT99, UT2k4 and UT3 into a giant list. I would suggest getting the maps from Mapraider or somewhere else, they will most likely be on the redirect.

>>3960434
Utfiles has them sorted by game in the download section. The link I posted is just the redirect

>>3960679
yeah, just realized that.

unreal://199.199.241.84:8080

Again, keep in mind, it's just a start. If you would like to start listing maps I'll start adding them.

Checked out the server, seems like you have DM, TDM and AS maps mixed in with the CTF list. Also you got low-grav turned on.
