Title: Would You Play On A UT 2004 Server?
Post by: Lightning Blue on March 08, 2004, 02:28:50 PM
I must say I like Onslaught.

So I'm thinking of buying UT, however, what's a good game without a good server?

Vote now!

i voted never, since i probably won't buy the game, im a poor slob you see. and i think other games will be more important for my halfyearly birtday/christmas game.

I don't plan on getting UT2004 any time soon.

Its just 2003 in a new package with some vehicles thrown in.....

for those of us who didn't buy 2k3 this would be a good investment then ^_^

I'm tempted to get ut2k4 just because it's a god-like modding engine and the amount of helpful mod tools and tuts they're shoving in the package is almost heart-warming ^^

who knows... I might even play onslaught XD

I'm gonna have to go with neither... I'm not really sure. I might be willing to invest the money if a lot of people get it, but since it will probably be 50 - 60 dollars I can't really justify that without a lot of incentive. Although the onslaught mode IS fun, the rest of the gameplay modes I can take or leave. And I really don't like the feel of the weapons, feels like I'm throwing styrofoam at the enemy... they seem to do nothing. So yeah, I'll basically just follow the crowd on this one.

I thought it was supposed to cost $40? If it does, it could be worth the money.

Unreal 2004...

Probably not. (Mine wallet be empty.)

But maybe another game with vehicles, among other things... (http://www.eagames.com/official/battlefield/vietnam/us/home.jsp)

Mine, featured on PlanetUnreal POTD years and years ago :p

As for the poll, no, simply because I will never buy that game.

I would. Downloaded the demo and found Onslaught to be pretty darn enjoyable. The vehicles are really cool, all of them. And that big deployable thingie? Can't wait to try it out. So I'll most likely be buyin' the 2k4. Pity I can't play online though. But if there was a Lightning Blue™ UT2k4 Onslaught Server connected to my computer somehow? I'd hit it. Sadly there's no "I'd play if I had the internet hooked up to my computer"-option available, so null vote.

Not really because UT2003 sucked.

uh... I'm kinda behind the times on this but why can't you play on the net anymore anyways fighter? =o

as for 2k3 sucking, is anyone really gonna argue with that?  2k4 onslaught is definitely a giggle, though I can't see it actually keeping my attention for longer than a week =/

if I do buy 2k4 (just starting to realise I'm actually kinda short on money for once in my life) then it'll be purely for mods and modding.  There's no particularly mind-blowing mods I can see but some of them look genuinely interesting and might be better than I give them credit for ^^

Niiiiirgh... Ok, I'm DEFINITELY making that thread. I've been asked this too often now to bother answering in full every time. I want a link I can hand out instead.

Just putting it here to avoid making an entire post off topic.[/span]

Depends if there's a large enough community for UT2004.
UT2004, although i've only played the demo feels like a mod for UT2003.

I'll probably wait a few weeks before buying but if i get it, i'll definetly play on a LM server :D.

Yah, so I pay a visit to amazon.de (http://www.amazon.de/) to see whether they have the game. Of course they do. Only problem is that it's the GERMAN version. If I'm lucky, it's just the manual that's in german. If I'm UNLUCKY, the excellent voicework that I so loved about the original UT - and which seems to have only improved in 2k4 from what I could hear in the demo - will be spoiled by a drab, lackluster, devoid-of-soul-and-life german voiceover. Take the announcer with his deep, evil voice: There's something insanely satisfying about it when he shouts ULTRAKILL. Now imagine somebody delivering that same line in a bored baritone.
In short, I just don't dare take the risk. I'm not buying this until I can get my hands on an english version.

i gota find a dvd version of 2k4, went to this one best buy and they only had the 6 cd version :( .. sure i coulda bought that but the dvd version is kooler  B)
time to continue the search....

and i dont think they would replace the normal announcer with some german fellow cuz that would be extremely odd, probably just the menus and stuff are in german , but having some drab guy announcing would suck, since thats one of my favorite parts of the game ULTRA KILL KILL KILL  >:D

Never can tell. Only way to find out is to buy it. I'm not running that risk.
