It sounded like you would do the same as what you do now with the redeemer. You switch to camera mode and spin around, meanwhile, somebody comes up and frags you for standing still on the battle field!

If you folks havn't heard by now, UT2003 has been pushed back until August or September. What a bummer......:cry:

ZWarrior · « **Reply #27 on:** July 22, 2002, 12:14:14 PM »

yeah, but I bet it's worth it!

ZWarrior · « **Reply #28 on:** July 22, 2002, 12:16:36 PM »

Here are some facts that I have been able to dig up:

1) The translocator still exists, it is limited to 5 shots, but recharges quickly.

2) It appears that the sniper rifle is gone, but they have a new weapon called the Lightning Gun that is used in sniper mode. But the rounds are lightning bolts, so snipers have to keep moving. Ya hear that Zeet! I told you to learn run-n-gun!

New skill, run and snipe.

opiesilver · « **Reply #30 on:** July 23, 2002, 01:02:38 PM »

That's an old skill that any good sniper can do. I think that Batswanna is the best at it that I ever came across.

Morpheus · « **Reply #31 on:** July 23, 2002, 02:08:36 PM »

It will be a new skill for Zit, I mean Zeet.

ZWarrior · « **Reply #32 on:** July 23, 2002, 03:49:24 PM »

It is a tough thing to do. I can do it, but the hard part is doing it an not falling into something at the same time!

Morpheus · « **Reply #33 on:** July 24, 2002, 09:17:50 AM »

Control, young Padowan, control.

ZWarrior · « **Reply #34 on:** July 24, 2002, 01:28:13 PM »

Padawan, Padawan. Sheesh you can tell he's from another movie.

Hey, I just downloaded the "shakycam" video of the CPL presentation for UT2003 by Cliff B. of Epic. It's 74.1mb. If anyone wants it, I'll make it available for you. Burn it to a disk, open up a port for ftp or something.

Folks, what can I say? I watched the video, all 45 minutes, and can honestly say that Zit will have a very hard time sniping without detection. Maybe three shots, more likely one, and you'll have to move.

Some of the really cool stuff I saw was the addition of dogging off of walls, a form of rocket jump, flubber like walls, and my favorite so far laser target designator. Orbiting satellites of Death await you signal. Sounds like a little bit of Command and Conquer to me.

Overall, this game looked really cool. Now if I could only get my hands on a copy.

PS....now scheduled for shipping 28 Aug.
:beer:

There must be something wrong with it for them to keep pushing the date off don't you think?

ZWarrior · « **Reply #37 on:** July 29, 2002, 12:18:07 PM »

I bet the rate of fire with that new sniper rifle is a lot slower too!

I hear that the rifle is gone, and now it's the Lightning Gun.

opiesilver · « **Reply #38 on:** July 30, 2002, 02:26:54 AM »

Just got the news from Amazon.com. I'll post a portion of the email I recieved below.:cry:

Greetings from Amazon.com!

We have some news concerning your order for "Unreal Tournament 2003."
We are sorry to report that the official release date for this item
has been pushed back to 09/25/2002.

We are very sorry for the disappointment.

:cry:

ZWarrior · « **Reply #39 on:** July 30, 2002, 10:34:25 PM »

Rats!!!! That means it will be a little tough to have a UT2003 server at the event.

*Sigh* I guess I 'll have to keep on waiting.

Seether · « **Reply #40 on:** July 30, 2002, 11:43:16 PM »

Just in time for LANAGEDDON II

ZWarrior · « **Reply #41 on:** July 31, 2002, 10:09:43 AM »

Oh, sure. Just rub salt in the wound why don't ya! just watch, they'll push it out another month and YOU'LL get the shaft too! This is nothing more than a ploy by Seether to make sure that Ambush! makes it to the next LANageddon, isn't it?

opiesilver · « **Reply #42 on:** July 31, 2002, 10:37:34 AM »

You mean seether knows that you play UT at lan parties? Couldn't really tell at the last one of his.

ZWarrior · « **Reply #43 on:** July 31, 2002, 12:41:52 PM »

I have been informed by Seether that they really missed us at the last event. I am planning on attending the next one. I just checked the schedule, and there is NOTHING on the Saturday! BOOYAH!

n1c · « **Reply #44 on:** August 01, 2002, 02:01:13 AM »

Its TOO much like Quake3 and i very much dislike that (its the whole look with the colors and cartoonish grafix {also the fact that my P3 933 wont be enuff to run it even desently})

ZWarrior · « **Reply #45 on:** August 01, 2002, 06:40:36 AM »

From what I hear, the 933 would run it IF you have a good enough vid-card to back it.

n1c · « **Reply #46 on:** August 11, 2002, 03:27:03 PM »

ill talk to you about this in a private e-mail...

Boomslang · « **Reply #47 on:** August 13, 2002, 08:27:37 PM »

opiesilver · « **Reply #48 on:** August 14, 2002, 02:06:17 PM »

They will supposedly have that cleaned up on the "official" beta release.

Boomslang · « **Reply #49 on:** August 14, 2002, 08:05:37 PM »

Yes their goal is to release the game with no bug in it at all. thats why the game has been delayed. Will see if the make their 9-27 date. Don't hold your breath
