Is the new UT any fun.

I never played the old UT but double pressing w in order to hop forwards is the gayest thing in a video game ever and by distributive property makes every single UT game gay as well.

Its definitely sad that CS is the only competitive shooter anyone plays because its kind of uninteresting compared to Quake or whatever. But at least it has a playerbase and matchmaking which is more than can be said for any of these other games.

Wickland, Reflex, Xyiotuiz, Reload Net or whatever, and every other name you could picture as an Arena Shooter Knockoff In Early Access is in fact a game in early access and is completely dead. And hell, Wickland is like a fast UT clone with a couple twists and it's sort of awesome, but there's only 2 people that play it in the entire world. Reflex is just an awesome graphics quake 3 with cpma, and no one plays it outside of 3 people in Sweden.

The trick to finding people to play dead arena shooters with is to post asking for duel partners on the official forums. I did this for reflex and basically now i know enough people that I stand a chance playing against that I can get somebody to fite me most hours during the day.
It's a pain in the rear end and all I want is an arena shooter with a populated 1v1 matchmaking system but you do what you can

also even though there are as many quake successor early access games as there are people willing to play them reflex is the best one in many ways and should be the one you pay attention to

It's true folks. Reflex is awesome. But no one plays it outside of Europe in the 6-8PM EST time slot. Good luck.

He's probably someone who played UT in 1999 when no one knew how to play games like that and now as an old man he plays it when goons start a server for a week or whatever and doesn't think about what he's playing, he just gets absorbed in shooting rockets at people and having his mind blown all over again by sometimes remembering to press the alt fire button and would of been perfectly content to do it in Quake if UT never existed.

Hell, plenty of people are like that. So whatevs. But their wrong if they think it's better than Quake.

It's like people whose nostalgia for quake 3 is based on dm17 and space ctf and the one with the bfg sitting on the platform you can squish people. Those maps are atrocious if your being serious about it but hell, in 2000 I could imagine spending hours being entranced by them if I wasn't a N64 kid who only used a PC to play Diablo.

ut99 is full of garbage maps and lots of them are death traps for accidentally dodging off thr edge into space if you hit a twice in a row too fast

also the rocket launcher feels like rear end because it prioritizes stacking rockets over firing so it doesnt shoot until you release the mouse button

I really like arena shooters.

I also really like Tribes shooters.

I do not like boring realistic CoD shooters.

they have to be good maps and you shouldnt have controls that make you jump quickly in a direction when youre trying to move in small increments

I was a failfag who liked UT more than quake 3 as a kid... But then I played some quake 3 arena and changed my mind. Quake is miles ahead of UT

I thought about it for a minute and it feels like q3 is the better game whereas UT has more charm.

Having played both extensively at the lan cafe when they came out, UT was for people that couldn't hang in quake, and for them it was definitely more fun.

It's weird that Blizzard seems to make one billion dollars a day and their recent strategy is to simply steal Valve games wholesale and put Diablo in it.

It's badass because the game isnt even out yet and they already have 18 characters, and the people at Valve could only ever think of 9, and they had nearly a decade to think of more.
