UT at FRAG3

thigs = things
evnt = event

Sorry :)

Let me point out a few thigs, the CPL had no blue prints to do massive events of this type. Why? Because no one had done events like ours before, so we had to improvise and risk making mistakes, which he did and will continue to do so.

Hotels:

I also liked the Westin much more than the Hyatt. But the Westin could not accommodate us this time around. Maybe for another event.

Restaurants:

Area Restaurants within walking distance.

Plus we will have a food court right on the floor of the evnt. Check out the floor plan: http://www.cyberathlete.com/images/frag3.jpg


Network:

Tim Schuh and David Gaspar have worked very hard to manage the CPL network and I think they\'ve done a great job... well they must\'ve as QuakeCon used David Gaspar to manage their network for QC99.


Thanks again for the input!

I\'m glad it is in a fucking real hotel instead of a Comfort Inn. And I\'d rather go a little bit to get real food and avoid Taco Hell, thank you.

Despite the bad location, the lack of restaurants, and the CPL not being \"to\" bright, our FRAG 3 registration is now over 1000 people. I think we must be doing *something* right.

As far as food goes, you could always order pizza/chinese food and more -- as always, we\'ll have a list of nearby restaurants, that deliver. If you get a bunch of people to pitch in, it will end up being as much as any fast food place... ok, maybe except for Taco Bell :)

By the way, if you want to check out what the UT trophy looks like, <a href=\"http://www.frag3.com/ut_trophy.jpg\">click here</a>

no, i wouldnt call the q3test levels blocky at all...if you turn up the texture detail all the way in q3a the textures just look amazingly crisp and detailed...UT\'s look simplistic in comparison...no, in UT i could never tell when i was hitting someone with an instant hit weapon (mini gun) if they were far away...i dont know, like i said, its not a bad game, q3a is just more my style....

#15, since you asked:

model animation looks wrong

male models look gay...but from what i hear, most male models are gay so that may not be epics fault...

physics feel sloppy

graphics are too distracting...like that space station map just has a sick amount of color in the sky map...

hard to tell when you hit someone

models too hard to see (i think they tried to fix this in the latest version)

levels are blocky

bland textures

basically its not really that bad of a game, its just that q3a is slightly better in every aspect and they are so similar i wouldnt bother playing both...

Finally, got some suckage... thanks sTeve. Oh yeah, I hate when that shit happens with the frozen burritos. Might as well be some frozen litterbox crunchies in there if ya know what I\'m sayin

Hmmmm,
Seems to me that the people who bash UT (demo) dont offer any
reasons why they dont like it. Offer some reasons please. I will tell
you why I think it rocks.

1) The weapons are middle ping friendly. Especially with the alt fire
mode on the RL and shock rifle.
2) Smooth gameplay, I ping 280 almost constantly and have no complaints.
3) Graphix, after all, it is Unreal.
4) Maps.... the maps are excellent... all have good flow for DM and teamplay.
5) The melee\' weapon does some serious dmg. :)

It comes up short on the jump height and length, I think QII was perfect
in that aspect. Also, weapon switching is a little slow, but Im in favor of
instant switching anyway, so any delay seems slow to me. But these
are minor critisisms on a great game.

And as far as UT being at FRAG3, I think its great.

#10.

it\'s \"too\" you boob.. \'the CPL never has been \"too\" bright.\'

I disagree with your opinion, #9 & #2, UT doesn\'t \"suck ass\". It\'s fast and fun, more so than Q3test. But I can\'t wait for the final versions of both.

If Quake came out tomorrow in stores for the first time, it would still be a better game than both, imo. Hard Core Forever!!

#10 you could\'ve answered my question too. That would be nice, wouldn\'t it?

seems kinda odd the suckage link was posted in the UT news. its one of those things that make you go....hmmm

Unreal Tournament²

I guess it\'s time to pack my bags.

#3 Do they have hookers in that hotel. If they do I\'m in for some serious fragging.

I looooove you junkbuster.com ! I am not a consumer! Advertising suckz!
