Unreal Tournament Rocks!!!!

[The Rock]

Dude:

Instagib is deathmatch where you only get one weapon, the shock rifle, with no secondary fire. Every shot is a gib no matter what; no health, no armor, no ammo, just gib after gib after gib. It's a BLAST to play, especially Domination instagib.

Heh-heh. So you are the "the_Rock" that I've seen in a few games of UT, then. I like Domination Insta-gob, too, but only one map makes it a little monotonous after a while. Been playing mostly DM and Team DM recently- I use "Azash" as my UT alias, since Ace seems such a common name in most multiplayer games.

UT rulez! (Running at 800x600x32, detail textures disabled, all else high, G400Max, P3-450@558.

I am that person. Anytime you see someone with that nick commit rocket suicide again and again and again, it's probably me. I just love people who notice I'm carrying the rocket launcher and charge me thinking I won't use it in close quarters. Muhahahahahaha.

The_Rock:

Maybe you and I (er.. Azash) need to team up for some team DM. Azash is particularly well known for fragging himself and anyone too close to him if he knows he's probably about to die anyway. LOL- it's amusing that we think so much alike in this regard (e.g.- if I gotta' go, I'm takin' you with me!)

I'm actually working to improve my efficiency rating. Right now I seem to hover between 60-66% for my DM worldstats for that one (means I die around 1 time for every 3 frags). That doesn't mean that I don't win many matches though. It just means that I frag a whole lot, because I die a lot. Heh-heh.

45th last night for my DM ranking this week, so far. Working on it some more tonight. Maybe I'll hunt for you (literally and figuratively).

BTW- If you can't guess it, this game is becoming an obsession for me. I can stay up hours and hours, or until I burn out. I usually realize how long it's been when my performance starts to seriously degrade. Sorta a built-in "It's time to take a break" warning.

Ace:

I'm addicted too. I'll play till the entire area across the back of my neck and shoulders is aching with pain. I hate the stats though. I avoid stats servers like the plague. Too many people playing for points and not for fun. I like a good sporting game with no stupid taunts. I even turned my own auto-taunts off cause they were annoying me.

[Giz]

I'm with you Rock. I don't care much for stat servers either. It kinda takes the fun out of it.

You guys think you're addicted now, just wait until Friday when we can get our hands on the full release. I'm really looking foward to playing the Assult game type.

Networking setup Question????

When I search for the LAN server, I can get two of my three machines connected. But for some reason, I can't get my stinking third machine to see the others. What's up!?!!?

The two that can see eachother have win98 and the third has win 95. Does that make a difference???

Can anybody suggest anything??? I've been searching the help pages with no luck thus far.

[agallag]

Love that insta-gib. Nothing quite like seeing your frags per hour over 500 .

[Scytale]

Yeah I want recordable taunts. I want to be able to say something like 'people who visit that wussy GT UT forum are gay...'

[The Rock]

Recordable taunts would be interesting. I'd have to hunt down some of The Rocks WAV files so I could say things like "layeth the smacketh downeth on his candy a$$". I'd shut it off after 10mins I bet.

DUDE: Don't know if your gonna see this, so someone pass it one, try installing Netbui and Client for Netware Networks on all three machines, don't know if this means UT will work, but Network neighbourhood worked for me in a very similar setup.

Giz-
I had a *cough* beta version of UT a few months back. It had most of the weapons and gameplay modes, as well as maps. Assault was very cool, as was Last Man Standing. The Capture the Flag maps are huge.
Have you seen the Redeemer yet? It's a guided nuke type thingy...you launch it then you get a kind of Terminator style view of where the missle is headed, just guide it into the enemy base....
I hope I can find a copy of it in stores around here for the weekend, but I'm guessing I'll have to wait till next week.

the_Rock:

I watch the stats to judge whether my gameplay is improving, mainly (higher efficiency- more kills, less deaths). It lets me know if I'm getting better or just sort of stagnating.

I agree about the auto taunts- I turned mine off last weekend, after it got so annoying. If I want somebody to hear me taunting, I want it to be one the one that says what I mean, instead of some inane crap, like "You be dead" (Who doesn't realize when you frag'em, LOL).

I missed you last night, mainly because I played only about an hour. The rest of my time was spent d/l and trying out the newest Q3 Demo Test. Pretty good, even with the regular ICD. I have to admit, the graphics are better, even though I think I like UT's gameplay best. Tonight I'm going to try the workaround to get the TurboGL running with it. With the regular ICD I get 34-35 FPS with everything on in 800x600x32bits. 45-50 should be the minimum I see with the TurboGL.
