Ut2004 Demo Will Be Released Within Two

Post by **kAoS-Rage** » 31 Jan 2004 19:05

The UT2004 demo is going to be released really, really soon. Epic's Mark Rein says
Did anybody actually read what I said last year? I said that we were "MORE THAN two weeks away..." from the demo but for some reason people took that to mean we were two weeks away. Go figure.

This time however I said "the UT2004 demo will be released within two weeks". So in other words, we're really close. Will it be tomorrow or over the weekend? No. But sometime within the next two weeks.
cool B)

Friggin nice site W@KKO OMFG awesome ut2004 info & pics!

I love the new feature for the Link gun -

The link has now got a very special function, with Alt Fire you can repair anything that the enemy damaged, even some in assault. vehicles in Onslaught explode when they are fired at enough, but if they are only damaged, you can repair them. don't worry, if they explode, they will re spawn at the base. you can also heal turrets and power nodes and cores.
that is why the Link gun is a powerful gun in Onslaught or anything else.

oh, there are a lot. il shall give an example.
The shield gun takes more time to bring up, so you cant keep switching between hiding and fighting, but the firepower of the weapon has increased. The mini gun has no Lock Down anymore. because when you shot on a enemy in UT2003 it kind of sucked him in the stream of bullets, and made it hard to escape. now the Pro's aren't as good with it anymore, and the n00bs have some more chances against the Pro's.

But we added Lock Down to the Link Gun. now the beam kind of sticks to whatever you shooting it, really good for Onslaught, and charging up power nodes and repairing vehicles.

Bio Rifle keeps making sound when you charged it, so the enemy's can hear you when your camping around a corner. and a fully charged bio rifle shoots less far.

The Shock Rifle still has the same speed as in all the previous UT series. in UT2003 we made the ball a bit bigger, so it looked slower. it didn't made the impact of the ball any different tho. In UT2004 the ball has the original size again.

The assault rifle can be used with another assault rifle, just like in UT. and the Alt Fire of the Flack Cannon is a bit slower, the lightning gun recharges slower, just like the ion painter and translocator. this has a extra slot of munition tho. reloads some faster but is harder to use.

So basically dey fooked with da LG........ god good, now im really mad...

UT2004, is shaping up to be a dissapointment.....

All the wepas that I have busted my arse to learn they have tempered with.. ffs... wat? is it me, or is Epic on my case!!!!

What little chance I had against a so called PRO is now all but gone, these changes won 't make the least bit of difference to them, they will still nail your arse, the difference now is dat, the wepas I use against them in a fighting chance are in fact been screwed around with and made less effective, longer recharge time on the LG..WTF! it takes forever now!...fook longer shiled charge...WAT!!!!!.. the ONLY true defence you got aginst sum freak like sikz... is now been TOTALLY wiped out!!...

I mean do any of u ever see him use the SHIELD? NO! he dun need to, he'll fook u up from a mile away.... the shield offered sum chance of fighting back, allowing me (at least).. time to move and dodge and wat not... now BANG im gonna be dead even before the fooking shield chasrges...

OHH FOOK THIS JUST PLAIN SUX!!!!!!...

Bah!

fook this sheett.....

Whilst i do see your point gammo...........i actually think its good that the shield has been made less usefull. As it stands now ut2003 is far toooo defensive.........flag carriers in ctf shielding themselves all the way bak to base! WTF is that about really?

Im an LG whore i admit it ...but it way overpowered and needed to be slowed down a bit

On the whole i think the changes for ut2004 will only enhance the game!

Post by **gämmö** » 03 Feb 2004 18:48

i dun tink so.... you can kill a shileded player der not bulletproof...Goo goes right throught it as the fookin MINI....

without it... in DM ur fooked.......

In effect CAMPING will become a plague now.. why risk confrontation with a good player if you got NO defence, I for one will camp the freak out....

OK, less say u duel SIKZ... wat ya gonna do?

Post by **gämmö** » 03 Feb 2004 18:53

ANd the LG is NOT overpowered the GOO gun is........ the LG you gotta have an aim like a SAS tropper ffs... look at the end of game TTM stats, on average ONLY 20 to 30% of the shoots fired with the LG actually hit, cause of the little delay it has wen you actually press the trigger... and the EXTREMELY small damage area it has...... it's minute..... compared to the GOO or the FLAK or the SHCOK COMBO..... let alone the fooking MINI!

no the LG was perfect the way it was....... so is the shield....

ditto!

Post by **gämmö** » 03 Feb 2004 18:58

NOT to mention the fooking ROX!!!!.. Christo, those fookers have a huge splash damage area wen fired x3....

You literally can not get away from them...

but the LG.. i can dodge it to no end, cause it's such a small hitpoint area..... and fired back GOO or ROX..or FLAK, you got many defences against the LG......

That's why a true LG shore is actually a headshoot whore, cause that's wer the LG comes into it's own....... only then is it powewrfulll on it's own.....

You can wepa swicth it like CHAOS:ZEN does with the shcok... but that then is not one weapon that's 2...

so how can anybody say the LG is overpowered?

I think the increase in reload for the lightning will only force the game to become more UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL! Just how I like it. None if this waving from a distance and giving the birdie while your QUICKLY reloading your Lightning Gun. Now your gonna have to start packin your flak cause if ya miss...your gonna taste sideshow humour!

Im with gammo on this one.
The shield is just right and the lg,what is going to happen is the game is going to turn in a spamm fight less skillz more noob spam.
Thats not all the slow down the weapons change i read on the atari forums. :wacko:
And i think the only weapon is overpowerd is the fuckin goo.
