UT Going Mainstream

invert or not? doesn\'t give you any advantage/disadvantage. it\'s just what gives you the better feeling :)

index the llama uses invert, but this doesn\'t mean anything, as he sux.

now to innovation, i like q3\'s classic guns much more than those unreal weapons, and i\'m glad q3 has no secondary fire.

oh yeah, keyboarding and ducking is sexy :)

omg..
look what i did..
stevie boy took cliffyb\'s comment to my article :) hehe
oh well.. :)
another few thousand his for steve..
heh
UT is ice skating STILL..
i cannot get used to the feeling..
feels soo quake1 ish.. (probably because it was catered to qworld players)
btw who said any one with inverted cant aim?
explain how i can top the frag list on many games of quake3 and quake2 and yes.. even haf laf... (i\'m also a half life hater)
hey cliffy why cant we play with more than 16bots? dont they play nice when you toss in 127 of them? heh
up the bot count to atleast 32! hee (chaos on that ctf map.. hehe and morphios.. hahahahahahahahahahahah)
Inverted mouse is good..
there had better be that option in final UT (i might acutally buy it i found a $20 on the side walk today)
oh well..
OH cliffyb.. how the fuck do you show how many frames per second your getting in UT? dont give me any bs saying we cant tell... (because our game is slow as crap)
:)

back to quake3... hehe

A bot patch would be good.

Godlike is a bit on the easy side :/

Gimme some proper practice! :D

Btw whoever mentioned that people with inverted mouse movement can\'t play. I use inverted and always have since duke3d. No problems for me.

Ummm..anon are you serious? 4 kills aint alot buddy hehehe...but anyways

i\'m waiting for that badass full demo to come out...Cliff around? give us a update??

we are all waiting and refreshing our fav gaming sites for news...thanx

out

I think ducking is very sexy..

In real life or in a game? 8) What game?

UT/Unreal: \"FOV 90\" in the console (and the same for Q3A IIRC)

I\'m a bit tired though... 8)

ya and whats with those dudes who crouch in FPS\'s and walk around...they like think they are frikkin invisible down there...just pump a rocket into there head..and bam...or rail etc...i dont get these guys who duck and think they are not gonna get killed.....carry on....

wow, i goto sleep and everyone goes nuts on the inverted mouse thing heheh, well anyways..just for my 2 cents...i use inverted...i watched my friends play when i didnt have a comp and now thats all i can use...the Heavy Gear2 demo didnt have an inverted mouse...i couldnt play it..im just tarded i guess...but i do wanna try that point and click icon thing...with the recycle bin hehe....anyone else wondering what time today they are gonna release the demo....im waiting guys...................

#55: Nope, not in Q3A or UT anyways (who has time to crouch in a game of Instagib, eh? 8) but in Serpentine, TFC, Counter-Strike and Tribes just to mention a few I need the possibility to crouch.

So what\'s your setup then, if you don\'t crouch I mean...

-- Martin

#53, you must be one of those crouching-type players! I love fraggin those! I don\'t even know where the crouch key is.

#51, cliffyb made a comment to the UT forum saying something like the UT player speed really isnt that fast, they just make it look fast with level scale and FOV...

if the q3 guys POV is higher off the ground and in general things are farther away (due to level scale) that could be what makes q3 seem slower...set your FOV to 110 and it will feel faster and not distort things too much, plus you can see more...

all of the levels in q3test are huge, even the tourney one...i think q3 will feel quite fast with smaller levels which i am sure will be in the final game (like the one they showed at EA)...and yeah, q3test2 with a bunch of people rocks...blood flying everywhere...mmm...

#52: Yeah, sure. But it\'s almost as fun (and useful) as UT vs Q3... 8)

Now why do some of you guys use arrow keys for movement? I use RMB for forward, LMB for fire and CMB for different stuff depending on the game. Z=strafe left, X=strafe right, A=jump, LALT=backwards and LSHIFT=crouch/duck. Fits my left hand like a glove (pun intended, not delivered 8).

What\'s the key (another pun!!) benefits of using arrowkeys/ASDW for movement? And what do you use the mousebuttons for then?

-- Martin

You know, after playing Q3Test for a bit, it doesn\'t seem like it\'s much slower than UT. I think UT just seems a bit faster mostly because the levels are so cramped.

I played a game of Q3Test last night with about 6 people on Q3Test2, and it was quite action packed, people getting railed in mid-air left and right, rockets flying, it made me realise that this \"UT is so much faster\" thing is just an illusion.

Invert or not to invert, that is the question. \'Tiss it bolder to frag without inversion? I say nay. To each his own.

Hi CliffyB,

How is the performane and image quality on the Matrox G400 series video cards?

Thanks,

Sean

#36: It\'s just that the way I play it (inverted mouse) is like in a flight-sim; you pull back and the plane/pov goes up - you push forward and the plane/pov goes down. That\'s why I did the comparison.

I guess that the \'cursor\' idea is quite valid though. Not that I\'ll ever change but now I understand where the un-inverted defualt comes from.

Heh, funny thing is, in Tribes you can select to invert the mouse on both horisontal and vertical axis. Now, if anyone tries to tell me that he runs around turning left when dragging his mouse to the right I\'d like to see that in action before I believe you. 8)

- LOL!

-sKunk-

hehe...

Wow sKunK, I just tried your way, and it changed my game so much! I got a whopping 16 of 20 frags with my patented \"drag the icon to the recycle bin\" move!

Inverted..... ooowwwwww. You bunch of freaks :)

What do you think you are doing, flying a plane :)

I treat the crosshair as a cursor, when you want to aim at something, just think that it is an icon you want to click on.

Each to their own.

#36 I use a steering wheel to play FPS\'s...nothing like fragging the crap outta ppl and relieving RoadRage at the same time... ;)

There\'s another way to look at it besides the flight sim comparison. Put your hand on your mouse (that almost sounded perverted) and lean back in your chair while keeping your neck in line with your body. Now lean forward the same way. When you lean back, you look up and the mouse is being pulled towards you and vice versa for leaning forward.

I doubt it really matters much. Whatever you\'re used to. This way just seems way more natural to me.

I always play with it inverted. If I came across a FPS that didn\'t have that option, I would toss it out the window.

I know a couple of people that play without an inverted mouse and both of them are somewhat \"new\" to the game. Not saying everyone is a newbie that doesn\'t use an inverted mouse, that\'s just my experience with it.

How is a FPS a flight sim? Do you play witjh your joystick when playing UT? I hope no....I leave all my stick playing when I play Q3

Come to think of it, what\'s wrong with you yankees? Do you actually play with the mouse not inverted? Since having the mouse un-inverted is the default option in every god damn game I\'ve played (and in the VRND demo you couldn\'t even invert it) I just need to know.

I tried playing it un-inverted but just the thought of pulling the mouse back to look down made my brain hurt... 8) Do you play flight-sims (if you by any chance play such games) with the stick/mouse un-inverted as well?

i also was wondering about the linux demo, so the linux port is gonna have a windows gui??

man the linux nutz are gonna be weirded out about that one man...

and try teaching your girlfriends how to use a inverted mouse on ut and any other FPS for that matter, thats the harder part hehehe

chill bubba the full demo is supposed to be today man, and believe me its worth the wait, i dusted the v2 off to try it out hehe
