Just played the demo some more but how the hell do I walljump, doublejump, dodge jump and stuff like that? I'd like to be able to move as fast as I can in Quake 3. How? Can I also rocketjump and strafejump? Somebody pass me a bone here...

I like UT2003 and will buy it but it just doesn't seem so "over the top" like the original. The original has better sound and weapons effects IMHO. Too bad they wanted to neuter the weapons to make them more balanced. The RPG ruled in Quake, and UT and that made the game fun!

"It often seems to me that in Quake 3 powered games levels can seem like disjointed assemblages of flat polygons with no real substance or depth -- the surface feels paper thin and loose. Unreal has always differed in this respect."

sorry, this is simply incorrect. exactly the opposite of reality, really.

Thats so sad, now IGN is making them ALL go to join thier premium service crap.
(I know usually after 3 views it goes there, this is different)
they saw how popular it was and trying to cash in on it, I HATE people like that.
