Not a rant, but some (trying to anyways) unbiased look at UT.
I downloaded the UT demo(latest one I could find) and installed. Good colors, fast, interesting and fun mods built right into the demo, some interesting weapons.
Now, for my gripes. Secondary fire, some say a good change. Normally, I would agree. But in my first experience with UT CTF, a blue player let loose 6 rockets at me. Umm... how the hell do I avoid 6 rockets(no, I won't use dodge. It has a nasty habit of causing my death on the space levels
) that I suspect are homing rockets? No grapple(that "translocator" doesn't cut it for me) and inaccurate weapons are also a major beef for me. Also, all these people wondering how UT can run faster on their systems and not in Q3? Umm... Do you realize that it is an updated engine that was released in 98(even back then, it was dated somewhat)?
Sorry if you guys have heard this all before, but I have read a lot on the "good" points of UT and Q3 bashing. I finally decided to check out UT and see what the big deal was. Sadly I was disapointed.
To all of you complainers out there with your Banshee/V2/V3/V2SLI cards out there, what the hell did you think would happen when you bought them? You were "set" for a long time? I had to put up with a G200 while all of you raved about your Q2 performance(damn that felt good getting G400 and finding out I could do a lot more than with Voodoo GFX cards. I nearly broke down and bought a V2 last year. heh).
P.S. If UT was to be redone in a NEW engine, work done on the aiming, do away with the spam weapons, I would go out and buy it.
Also, sorry if this sounds like flammage, but I am trying very hard to understand what the big deal is over UT. Someone enlighten me if I "don't see it"?

. Letting go of the primary fire will fire a spread of rockets, holding secondary fire when you release the primary will concentrate the rockets in a tight bunch (for lack of a better term).
