UC2/UC1 Instigib players?

[legacy-The_Chief_DNB]

What can you tell me about Instigib in UC2. I read around and I see that it will be played with a modified sniper rifle.

Does that mean it will have the same fire rate as the sniper in the demo?

Will there be an option to upgrade the game speed like in UC1?

I'm asking because I notice alot of things need to be unlocked and I'm a curious person. =)

From what Ive read there will be no 125 speed option like UC1. Just the speed mutator if you want to play fast.

The sniper rifle is better than the shock for instagib because it has a scope like the modified gib guns on the PC.

I see.

Well this is a big change considering how gib was played in UC1.

You fire at a lot slower rate than UC1.
Comparable to UT2k4.

It changes the gameplay drastically.
For you it might be bad but I was pleasently surprised how it turned out. It requires a lot more skill and a little bit of strategy. Also, you can't get killed for about 1-2 seconds after you respawn so that will eliminate monkeys that like to hang out at the respawning spots.

The instagib in UC2 is much more balance than UC1. They probably slowed the fire-rate down to keep melee as a viable option in the matches.

I like the Instagib in unreal tournament 2004. YOu could just hold down the mouse and you would keep on firing at a high rate.

Crazy, you play UT2k4? Or did you? If so, what's your name?
In UT2k4, there's a mod to make you fire at like...the rate of a stinger...with IG. It was so hard to play with, and removed total sense of aim.
