What feature are u looking forward to the most in 2007?

[DrDoomed]

or even hope they'll add

[Wowbagger]

A kickass ingame Clan support together with an official Epic Ladder.

[Flak]

The sniper rifle :)

[MonsOlympus]

Im hoping gorge will make a return. As for the things Ive seen so far, that robot factory map looks pretty awsome :) Bring on ut2k7 DM :D

[GuntiNDDS]

maps with gameflow
new bot ai/speech rec
greater atmosphere

[A_Spec]

the digital women ofcourse!

Hmm, new offcial vehicles

[iron12]

Some really good improved AI.

[BlindRob]

a frame rate over 30

[Da Spadger]

Getting a message from a bot saying:

God DAMNIT Spadger, we felt that one back at the powercore, why do you always need to blow sh*t up?

[Fury.T32]

lol, im looking forward to shouting at my bots, i wander how they'll take "get the **** out of my way or im blowing you up" >_>

[Magwa]

Weapons that really kill ...no more shooting a guy for 30 seconds, some good player voices,(no more garbled generic stuff),players that are EASY to see,anywhere on a map,no lame player skins..like the matrix etc.... good red and good blue color on player skins and in equal amounts on all skins....and for me personely i want a great shock beam ,please no more solid laser lines or spirals the UT99 beam had a great animation when it hit a target or wall and it was a pulse of light ...best evar...2007 i just hope you are a good game..:)

[The5thviruz]

Weapons that really kill ...no more shooting a guy for 30 seconds

30 seconds? You must be really bad at UT2004.

[Monster w/21 Faces]

Warfare mode and the editor.

[Scylla]

I'm looking forward for it not be really dark (like the original UT) and for it not to be a remade version of UT.

[buttpirateBO]

I'm looking forward for some Server Setup Instructions. Something besides a runserver.bat that would never work.

[YARRR]

as long aas there is treasure

[InTheJungle]

Better AI is all I hope for, and the animations to be superb (which, as far as I can tell, are).

[Puke]

Hmmm......... EVERYTHING, but mostly just the Editor

[Vectorspace]

The ability to blast chunks out of the landscape.

Also, the Darkwalker - I'm betting that within a few days of UT2007's release there'll be a mod to give it the Tripod sound from War of the Worlds as its vehicle horn.

[A_Spec]

Cicada!...

[»madMar†y»]

A clear and usefull train and help utillity that makes it a lot easier for beginners to learn the game so we don't need to play against total useless players anymore.

I'm curious about the Darkwalker.

[InTheJungle]

Thing is though, there's nothing to really 'learn'. It's not like there are rules or anything, it just takes time to hone skills. Some gain their skills quicker than others. If you mean like a target practice level or something like that, then yes, wicked idea.

I'm also curious about the Darkwalker. I'm curious to know if whether or not the legs are actually just pre-made animations, or if they actually adapt to the ground around them. For example, If I'm on a slope, will the legs conform to the terrain, or will we see a type of 'floating effect' if say two legs are grounded but the other one is just 'floating' because it's not touching anything.

[Kronos]

New Editor
New Movement
New Weapons
New Models
New Teams
New Vehicles
New Powerups(helmet, and I hope invis)
New SinglePlayer
New Maps
New Gametypes
New DemoRecording
New Community
New Graphics

None of these are really in order to which one I like the most, I just threw up everything I cant wait to use and see in UT2007.

If you mean like a target practice level or something like that, then yes, wicked idea. Well I've played a lot of Onslought in the past and noticed that many ppl had no clue what they're doing. I've seen it hundreds of times that ppl wanted to heal the core or wanted to destroy a locked node. So for gametypes like Onslought and the new Warfare it would be nice if there was some clear and easy source of info so total beginners or born useless players can get the basics easilly.

For gametypes like DM there's indeed not much to learn.

There is already a tutorial that explains onslaught thoroughly. It's in the main menu of the Onslaught map selection. That's pretty much as specific as you can get when it comes to instructing someone how to play. It's a full video, so there is no excuse for people. At that point, it's just a matter of them being morons or fooling around (sometimes when my team is getting rocked, just for humour I type to my team 'Heal core!'). In either scenario, Epic can't control it.

[Lopar-XL]

If they are lame, I'm sure somebody will make some better ones. :)

I was planning on doing just that, and adding in some other sounds. ;)

I want to make some custom Voice Packs for UT2007, just like I could with the other ones. Hopefully Paul Catalano will update the Voice Packager.

[>>Gunslinger<<]

Just plain looking forward to playing...

Release me...

[-mimic-]

I was looking forward to it a lot, be recently after watching a lot of videos and reading about it, well if you take out the new graphics, then it almost only look like an expansion to UT2004, i could be wrong, but if there aint that much of a difference gameplay wise from UT2004 to UT2007 then ill properly stick to UT2004, i got a amd3000+ 64 1 gb ram and a geforce 7600GT, and why play UT2007 when you can run almost the same game a lot better, im not whining but it would have been cool to have a little more change in the UT world. The things i think could be cool in a new UT, would be the ability to almost make your own charecter, when you personalize a game more then it always become a lot better i think.

[GuntiNDDS]

there were some words from epic about being able to place armor plates onto your character in a "customizing way"

[amsterdam528]

I'm excited about the new graphics and all like everyone else, but the HUD is really outstanding. I'm so happy they brought the personshape back. yay :)

[Emmet Otter]

The option to actually change your characters armour and such (custimizable characters).......at least thats what ive heard.


But in the "what I hope to see" would be better bot AI.

The short response: Go play WOW or planetside.

The longer more sensitive response: Consider the UT community. They appreciate evolution I' am sure (especially technical/graphical evolution) but what they want at heart is essential a UT GAME. The core and fundamentals that make UT, fast pace DM, great frags and a largely static set of classic weapons are what make the game what it is. To radically change the game would most likely lead to the feeling of betrayal on the part of the UT veterans and casual UT fans alike.

As I said certain changes and evolution of UT is what many appreciate... always chasing 'perfection' is one way of putting it... but significant changes to UT is not the point of successive iterations of the UT legacy.

[GuntiNDDS]

better bot ai is allready announced. they hyped it quite a bit in the earlier
interviews. such as how bots get more "personality" and how they talk to each other and understand complex sentences.

[Emmet Otter]

Actually what i'm hoping that bots act "smarter"

Example: in 2k4s Ons they sometimes dont link nodes when youre powering it up yourself. You can have like two bots next to you and they just walk around not helping. Sometimes they do and sometimes they dont. And even when the node has been fully charged they just roam around the area and not moving forward into battle.

Ive seen bots get into vehicles and imediately jump out leaving the vehicle useless at that spot. For some reason they dont like the hellbender. Ive seen bots run across maps from the base leaving the hellbender at the base. They seem to prefer the other vehicles though. Also a command to tell bots to stay out of the vehicle that your driving which you prefer on your own would be nice.

Ive seen bots sit in ground turrets that were waaaay out of the battlefronts and were just chilling there which rendered them useless.

Another problem is enemy bots at how they seem to always focus on you when your far away and 3 of your team bots are right next to him and he's just concentrating on firing at you.

There are others but I cant thinnk of them now.

[Jake-SF]

Actually what i'm hoping that bots act "smarter"
They said multiple them how they work hard to make the bots much more enjoyable. Although that doesn't mean they WILL be smarter and better to play with, I think your wish is actually going to be true.

[Magwa]

You are correct BUT like in 2k4 evry server you get on kicks you for having voice packs i love using the old UT voices but there are only a handfull of servers that i can do it on ANTIO TCC kicks you ,i am sure it can beconfigured not to BUT server admins probably do not even read the read me file...:)

[Mastame]

Thing I'm looking forward to are all the new characters and their bio's. :)

I've always been a big character-fan. With UT2003 and 2004 too, the first thing I did when launching up was go to Settings and take my time to give all those new shiny personalities a GOOD look.. check out their teams colors.. read their bio's..

Can't wait to do the same with 2007. Especially with the new, awesome looking graphics I figure I can enjoy myself quite a while at the character selection screen. :D

[Chromatik]

New AI. I still contend UT AI will not be perfect until I can talk smack and hear it dynamically come back at me, play a match against a bot then take him out for a virtual drink afterward to make amends for hurting his feelings. I'm also all about the new eye candy and more powerful weapons, I'm looking forward to just about everything really.

::Edit:: I would additionally love to be able to mix the skill levels of bots as it would add another level of variety to the game

[UberBone]

I have given up any hope of seeing a Skaarj Hybrid, or his dodge-roll ever again. Though I would like it, a lot.

Hope they do a good Facing Worlds :p

[EntropicLqd]

More organized static mesh / texture packages in the Editor! :mad:
One can hope, but I don't have a lot of confidence in Epic's ability to package things up nicely.

Their development approach seems like it is too iterative with not enough tools for manipulating and moving content between packages to do a decent organisational job.

[Nentuin]

Much better AI . . . as in, actually fun to play with and learn with. Also, the ability to say "Get the **** out of that ****ing turret NOW so I can use it!!" :D :D

Even if the ai is dissapointing, I just wanna play it. Like is said on the BU forums, it kinda gives me gooseflesh when I realise that I could seriously end up playing a game that fantasticly awesome. They've been giving a huge amount of attention to detail, as you can see in the latest trailer. For instance, they have those shielding blocks around the top of each node, like the powercore. Most games would have those blocks just appear in place as the node develops, but in UT2007, they swirl up from the base of the node. AWESOME!!

[Captain Caveman]

I played UT2K4 to death. I was big in the vCTF community.

Since I viewed the latest trailer for '07, I dusted off my SE edition of 2k4 and started playing again.

What I am looking for, is more of a "sandbox" feel to the game.

When playing ONS (lately) it seems very "formulaic" and laborious. Perhaps it is the public servers I am playing on.

Maybe I'm weary of the "rock, paper, scissors" approach... perhaps we need a hand grenade and a sledge hammer thrown in the mix. I guess that's what I'm wishing for.

Does that make any sense?


BTW, it's nice to read all of you again, I feel a sence of Deja 'vu:

"two weeks!"

"photoshop this!"

[Scylla]

scylla... it was a joke.

And so was that...

[Slaughter]

Add - Optimized netcode and server CPU efficiency.

[Lopar-XL]

Does that make any sense?

No, it doesn't. Perhaps you are saying that you want a more open-ended game type that is conducive to "emergent gameplay", or multiple solutions to a given problem?


BTW, it's nice to read all of you again, I feel a sence of Deja 'vu:

Oh yeah, I'm looking forward to the famous "Give us teh dem0!" images thread. :)

[r1esG0]

realistic or maybe doa style animations for lauren´s chest:D

[wartex]

- no dodge jumping
- old skool linkgun/plasma
- actual well-crafted and balanced DM and ctf maps unlike the ones they added in 2k4.

[iLL]

I mainly just want to see if they are going to disappoint by drastically changing or removing certain things that I feel hurt what I like about the game and gametypes.Theres no question it will be intense,fun,and awesome to look at.

I pray they do not compromise bling for gameplay.Who cares how pretty it is if it will not run smoothly on most decent rigs.I am really excited to see this engine in hi res on a good rig though.Yum!

Security-I mean honestly,if they can spend a ton of time and or $ on protecting their product from pirating,why not treat hack protection with the same level of importance?

I paid full price for these games the week they came out since 99 so strong in game out of the box punk protection would be the greatest gift they could give me in this game.THIS IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE COMMUNITY.

I do not mind all of this new vehicle stuff as its to bring new players mainly just so long as they do not mess with the standard CTF and DM.If I want a vehicle in my CTF,I would go play VCTF so I hope thats easily excluded.

I am also curious to see if they are going to screw up the trans more.We went from unlimited trans to 6.A bit drastic if you ask me even with a farther throw.

New gametypes sound worthy of a run even though alot of players will more than likely just be in vehicles with minimal ground combat.

I heard a 1000% increase in lighting detail which has to equal some serious beauty.

Also to see if StarForce will be included because I will not buy it.I will suffer yeah,but I am just pissy like that about certain stuff.Why should I have to pay the price for punks pirating when I always buy new,pay full price,and actually refer new customers to epic by turning friends onto this awesome game.That would be a hell of to show appreciation to the people who pay their salaries if you ask me.

The characters and maps are looking very sweet thus far from what the pics and vids show.

Cant wait to get a good laugh from the hoverboards and the spaghetti legged Dark Walker.(looks drunk)

[9ades]

The Enforcers, and teh new Link beam.

Also looking forward to getting a stable net connection to play it on.
:cool:

[BlindRob]

The new Enforcers looks bad, they don't even look like pistols, bring the auto mag back >:O
i also hope they still work good, at 25 damage a hit, if used smart could take down someone no matter what weapon they had

[Kharn]

Improved clan match and tourny support, with much easier admin for simple stuff like:
turning off amp/other unwanted features (eg superweapons)
changing gametypes/restarting a map instantly (without a restart)
Standard settings for organised team play in any gametype, that people will want to stick to without having to mess about with the server too much.

Also i would love to see some quality CTF maps that play like a dream.

[CVROY]

Of course tons of modding and mapping capabilites :)

More importantly though I'd like to see some admin server functions added that would be very useful.

1) ability to Global ban players from voice chat using their GUID. (Some people just cannot handle using the mic in a game oriented fashion and think it's an opportunity to be a cyber DJ playing their favorite muzak that sucks to everyone else.)

2) Session kicks with session amount.

3) pinglimiter to keep the 56Kers off. (really messes up a 22 player game if you have one or two 56kers join or too far away ISP clients)

4) a kick idler that kicks live people in game as well as dead... and doesn't kick if the person is moving the mouse (or else snipers would get kicked like UT2004 if kickliveidlers is active)

5) divide the mapvote list into two sections, the played maps in their own column and the unplayed in another.

That's about it... weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[Wail of Suicide]

In rough order of importance:

-Removal of Dodgejump
-The return of to-scale maps and in-your face fighting.
-Slower weaponswitch to make LtG->Shock->LtG type weaponswitch tactics ineffective.
-High quality sound production for really satisfying weaponsounds and voicepacks
-Awesome, heart-pumping techno music from Alexander Brandon
-Character models that are easily distinguished from their environment without being overbright or overdark.
-Human-proportioned characters without loads of bulkiness
-The return of a real sniper rifle, the impact hammer, and the enforcers.
-The return of actual physical items as pickups (Vest, Pads, Belt) instead of glowing Quakelike icons.
-Improved vehicle performance and integration
-Improved vehicle balance
-Assault-type objectives in Onslaught/(Warfare?) to make the game more dynamic.
-New Necris vehicles
-An improved server browser system that allows you to tell how much content you will have to download to play on a server

[p2xelgen]

I'm hoping there are a few ancient style temples...

[wartex]

In rough order of importance:

-Awesome, heart-pumping techno music from Alexander Brandon




Actually, Jesper Kyd is composing the soundtrack for UT2007, not Alexander Brandon.

I wish Kevin Riepl would do the music for 2k7 though.. :(

Hell no, really hope they are not gonna include something liek that, never been a big quake 3 player, liked UT better :) So i would just give the multiplayer a go in quake 4, but damn, that sound when you constantly just hit one is the most irratating sound in the world. What idiot came up with that idea.

So for gametypes like Onslought and the new Warfare it would be nice if there was some clear and easy source of info so total beginners or born useless players can get the basics easilly.

For gametypes like DM there's indeed not much to learn.

word up, im mainly CTF, but untill now i dnt kno wat to do in onslaught. that would be good.


here is mine :

--more fat characters like gorge because a skinny girl [no homo] doesnt even look good when they move and shoot BIG weapons, the size of half thier body

--some weapon that u can jump with , for example shield gun in 04'

--In game IRC like chat so u can message someone when they r playing a game and not on IRC. So you wouldnt have to minimize UT every 5 sec to talk to someone on IRC. and just better way and easy way to communicate


-- In game ladder [with real admins who know what they r doing]

-- No botters

-- No lagg (eg. WoW). I hope NA ppl can play[compete] with Europe ppl without high pings, because there is a lot of ppl who cant visit world tournaments/pay for plane ticket.

-- and a LOT of fun

-- easier way to add ur music/support for more formats

-- More sophisticated stuff, and more areas where u can practice to be better player. More elements in the game to get better at. For example - shield jumping, dodgeing, hitscan etc etc, so its more competetive and MORE ppl play this game for 3+ years

-- better way to key bind stuff/easier

-- More details in general

--in 04, the buddy list feature didnt always find my buddies, maybe like only wrked 70& of the time. Hope this feature is more developed.

:) :) :)

[»madMar†y»]

--in 04, the buddy list feature didnt always find my buddies, maybe like only wrked 70& of the time. Hope this feature is more developed.
Well altough I'm not sure how the buddylist works, I think the buddylist only searches for the players with the names you've put in your list. So when you've added Sinterklaas to your buddylist and he changes his name to Kerstman afterwards, he won't show up in your list anymore. It would probably be better when it tracked the players id instead.

A couple of maps remakes. Like Rankin, Roughinery, Ironic :)

[PanzerIV]

- Much improved netcode from UT2004.

- Much more adult content "language, blood, part blowing up"

- Much more close-fights and less annoying long range hitscan fights...

* So much more but can't name 300 things lol.:rolleyes:


Edit:

A couple of maps remakes. Like Rankin, Roughinery, Ironic :) Pff, goddamn nostalgic people. I'm so f*ckin sick of playing Ranking. I don't want to play the same map over and over for 5 other years!!! I want new stuff. But yes a little few remake could be nice like Torlan from the videos we've seen looks awesome.

I think one or two "necessary" remakes should be in the retail version. The rest should be left to the community.

With "necessary" I mean true classics like Deck1X just as one example. It is not so much about gameplay here, but what makes UT the franchise it is.

Look, Ut2003 didn't have a Deck map... ...but there were custom versions of Deck16]I[ and big server providers had dedicated "Deck 16 only" servers,

Torlan is the map for ONS (although I do not like it in it's current state). But it should be in UT2007 (fixed of course).

Other great maps or fun maps will be remade by users anyways. Roughinery is a good map... ...but shall it be remade for retail? I think no, because it can easily be remade by community mappers.

I'd like to see a call button for the lifts.

[Modulus]

Lots of fools to lay my heavy pimp hand upon.

I pity the foos!

[nfleming]

The feature where I get to play the game :)
Honestly all I have seen/heard/read sounds sweet.
Hmmm, improved bots, new weapons/vehicles, MULTI CORE SUPPORT!

[Nentuin]

SPACENOXX!!!!!!:p ;)

No, seriously, I found a REALLY sweetly-done remake of Spacenoxx for UT2004/2003, but the game itself was different from UT99. Not the mapper's fault at all, he did an incredible job. But now that UT2007 is gonna be more like UT99 than UT2004 was, I WANT SPACENOXX!!!!

[Nentuin]

Spacenoxx in UT99 is where I spent many hours playing against bots, and that's where I learned to snipe. So now, people hate me when I haul out a sniper rifle of any type in any game. :D

More organized static mesh / texture packages in the Editor! :mad:

You can allways tell people who actualy work in the editor.

I agree, I'd like to see a new deck for 2K7, but wasn't deck17 included in 2K3?

I can't remember for sure, but if you'd have asked me before I read your post, I'd have sworn it was in 2K3.. :confused:

[SHAGBOT]

i want more crazy vehicles (i already know of a few), more crazy weapons, and definitely more flying vehicles!

Well altough I'm not sure how the buddylist works, I think the buddylist only searches for the players with the names you've put in your list. So when you've added Sinterklaas to your buddylist and he changes his name to Kerstman afterwards, he won't show up in your list anymore. It would probably be better when it tracked the players id instead.


im not stupid, i know that, but my firends were all playing in a server, i had their exact name and it didnt detect.

[»madMar†y»]

Aok ....and I'm not saying you're stupid, i just mean that the current system doesn't work very well. I've had the situation that many ppl had the same name as the 1 I bounded and so got a load of servers showing up and that makes it very hard to find that player. I just say that it probably would be better that the buddylist tracks player-id's instead of names.

[BuffyTheSlayer]

Third Person View Option

Ya now that would be cool.

[HellFox]

i thought this thread was for features already announced by epic that will be in the game.............................................. .........

[GuntiNDDS]

there is allready a third person view option in 2k3/4.
behindview 1

[SlowDrag]

More gore, more blood, more pain.

[blackout]

there is allready a third person view option in 2k3/4.well, you can't aim while using it. and by the way: it's called a first-person-shooter because you shoot from the first person's view.

on invasion: this time, just take the models out of unreal2 to create it; that's already been working well in former versions. :)

[glitch]

the ability to see your enimes skin burn and smoke when you torch them with a flame thrower!

[eduardvictor]

a framerate over 10

oh, and 3-D menus..

OH, and gibs...

[FrostBiteEST]

Heres my list what i want see in ut2k7
1. Improved bots and good singel!!
2. In singel campain make final map playable!!
3.Warfare:)
4.wanna get ut2007 work on my pc!!!!
5.new maps
6.realistik gameplay(gravity ect)
7.instagib mutor

[Lee_Shagwell]

Cicada!...

Oh please, the cicada is desperate, they should have a new vehicle class called downs syndrome and put the cicada and the SPMA in it.

[Modulus]

The forward walk/run key.

[Hedge-o-Matic]

Better animations and movement
Physics for objets such as dropped weapons.

The new rig I'm going to have to get to play this monster.

[Locust Bait]

Lets see now:

-Even greater graphics than GoW (if thats possible)
-Great Physics
-Warfare Mode
-More blood and gore
-Being able to have NPC's make taunts at you. S*** Locust Bait, stop blowing us up, or I will make you suffer
-Better... graphics for Lauren (lol, but seriously)
-HOVER BOARD!!!
-More expansive enviroments
-Hopefully 64 player enabled maps
-Advanced Spectator mode
-Better AI

One of the things I love to do when I'm bored is go to instant action, find the smallest map possible for TDM, put the bot difficulty to maximum, and put the maximum amount of bots that I can (32). Cook some popcorn, then click spectator mode and watch the show :D

[Monster w/21 Faces]

The editor.

[Scylla]

-HOVER BOARD!!!

That's something I am not looking forward to.

*shudders at the thought of gametypes being raped by hoverboard only maps*

[Nagashi]

As i only played the single player campaign thru once for each release. I really only play the UT series online, so bacially AI is unimportant to me.
I like the movement of UT2k4 and the double dodge and the wall dodge.
The one thing I would like to see most:
ANTI-CHEAT
:cool:

[Finchy]

Everything they have now, improved.

[Locust Bait]

ANTI-CHEAT
:cool:

AMEN! I hate having SpeedHack all the time by some loser.

Hoverboards are cool, quicker travel but u can't use your weapons. Kinda a sitting target for someone with a good sniper eye or alot of rocket ammo. If I see a hoverboarder I'll just pop his head and continue. While hoverboarding you cannot use weapons, so it won't be spammed alot.

[Maltheus]

In order:


Continued Linux support (best defense against piracy, we're hard up for any game).
Equal points when chain-linking someone healing a node.
Points for healing anybody/thing.
Talk screen constantly on at end of game (I hate typing something, only to lose that thread when the map vote comes up, or I want to see the scoreboard -- keep a docked window at the bottom of the screen, even while loading the next map)
Better team balancing.
Clear indication of who's a bot.
Bot's should leave vehicles if I try to get in (or switch to second seat).
More second-seat options in vehicles.
Slightly faster Avril projectiles.
A way to pipeswitch weapons by their name, not their number.
A clear, center-screen indication of poor vehicle health (hard to check bottom left screen in the middle of a fight).
Let arrow keys determine which side of vehicle you exit when pressing USE.
Minigun for default weapon (I don't believe in banning spawn campers, just help me to get even).
Continued emphasis on solid, stable gameplay rather than the latest uber-graphics.

^^^^ *Great* list of suggestions.

[[CALIBUR]]

Warfare mode
AS mode
ONS mode

something total new!

[fuegerstef]

;24650163']Warfare mode

ONS (+ AS) = Warfare.

There is only 1 of the 3 gametypes left you are looking for.

If there were faster Avril Projectiles noone would dodge it. Well noone except sky jockeys.
How do we do that? Like I want a Assualt Rifle, I'll press A? Or S for a shield gun
Your health in the center screen would make it harder to see, or if you make it smaller it would cause a distraction (grab a piece of paper, a pen, then make a dot in the center of the paper to see what I mean. No matter how hard you try to ingore the dot, your eyes always go to it.)
Using the arrow keys to select which vehicle position you want would take a long time, but its a great idea :D
From the trailers, it seems that semi-automatic pistols would be your default, I dunno if you get dual-wield as defult or not.

Great ideas though :D I agree with your list.

[[=CRU$hER=]]

For voices I would say add new ones but also the old ones from UT2003/4 and UT99 so everyone could choose what he likes best shouldnt be hard to do it. For me it would be the Ut99 robot voice, I just love it "Target lifeform eliminated" yea baby, I miss it :P.

For weapons I would hope they would give the sniper recoil. Like if you are moving your crosshair would move around so this game wouldnt be anymore all about LG, LG, LG man iam getting sick of it. In addition scale the range from Shocks primary shoot, should be just mid range so you could do good combos but not using it for insta hit ALL THE TIME. Yea Iam pissed about this cause it seems so all other weapons are just inferior to LG and Shock and that sux.

I want more into the face battles but not at cost of movement (dodge, dodge jumping etc. thats just unique in UT and would be a bad move to remove it). If I wanted to play with just insta hit weapons I could go play instagib /sigh.

Like other ppls already mentioned, good visible player models it just sucks in UT2003/4 without UTcomp or add a UTcomp to UT2007 so all servers could choose if enabled or not, guess some admins are just to lazy to install it.

Well for sure new weapons / vehicles :P but thats all I can think about at the moment.

[FrostBiteEST]

Is it possible that u talk to microphone but in game pc mix my voice with(like jug voice ,robot voice)Others hear my voice as robot or jug voice.That would be really cool.;)

[MonsOlympus]

That is a sweet idea, kinda like those voice boxes which can make you sound like darth vader or a darlek :p

It would be sooo cool I reckon, better then plain synth voices because the original signal is analog from a human no less. FTW :D

[FrostBiteEST]

Ive seend in long trailer that human control character is sayng near hellbender
"I need a gunner"(with bot voice :D)
And Laurens say roger or smt

So is this feature in ut2007?

[Wail of Suicide]

While I like the idea of realtime voice deformation, I'm not sure if it's really feasible to do on your computer: UT2K7 is clearly going to be very resource intensive on its own, and sound processing on your mic might eat up a lot of resources (depending on how extensive the transformation).

[MonsOlympus]

Yeah I thought of that myself, this is one of those things I would agree is a client setting I guess :p

If something like this were to be used you would need the option to turn it off otherwise as you say it can hog up resources that are better spent elsewhere's. The data would still have to be sent the same way through the server and probably deformed on the other end, if you have alot of audio channels active this could bring even the best of systems to its knee's, unless the soundcard can take alot of the load. I dunno if all soundcards can do this though without offloading to the cpu, Id rather the cpu or soundcard be spending time doing realistic accoustics etc I guess.

Great idea though, that should be stuck in the sack with all the others ;)

[Locust Bait]

How about some unique characters also? Like Build-your-own character? Build a skin, and use it in Instant Action, or Multiplayer. And I doubt that it would be that difficult to change voices, Xbox Live uses it easily.

[FrostBiteEST]

I think its much easier to understand digital voice(bot voice) ,than human voice.
Ive played online and where people use microphone, but i usually wont understand their langue. So this feature really is good for good gaming experiense and better understanding your team mates.

[ut2k7_adam]

Warfare mode
and the chat commands feature!

Did you use the ingame VoIP or an external program? THe latter provide a far better quality, we used this stuff to discuss complex things like setting up servers and how to tweak them, so it is more than good enough for simple and brief commands ingame.

But I am very confident that VoIP in UT2k7 will have much better quality than 2k4.
