I hate war-floodgate

[»TheHitMan«]

Cause it's too easy for the other team to be a cheap $hit with the spider mines at the spawn

Random thread. What triggered this?

I love war floodgate when you have competent people on both sides who know what they are doing. It usually will last 5 rounds each round being won in a 20 minute overtime. God do I miss those 3 1/2 hour flood matches where scores would routinely get into 400+ points easily.

[DrUnKenSTeiN]

Hmmmmm , fair play isn't that bad tbfh :P

[demoniac]

Pfft... If the enemy is spiderin' up your core, they be wasting the ns. And that is a good thing, for you and your team. It should either be defending center, or helping your team consistently get the flood node (if it can't, defending prime would be a better idea).

So the other team is better than your team, don't cry about it and make excuses. Try improving your skills; don't criticize UT3 because your team lacks skill.

Also Brett it isn't hard to outrun spiders. You can out dodge them easily, get on your hoverboard and get the heck out of dodge. You technically should only die once to that and since you know where they are you go a different way. Unless they are there actually spawn killing themselves with the spiders there to I don't see it as a problem.

You miss those matches? We still have those matches!

Floodgate is an awesome map imo. Now if we can have 5 more maps of that calibre as a free download, I would be a happy chappy.

Pfft, who even plays flood with the nightshade.

Oh wait, yeah publics....

[Benfica]

Actually what you should do is empty the nest so that the remaining spiders don't harass your teammates, even if that means dying a few times

[oldkawman1]

I guess I am getting old. I no longer have the endurance for more than 2-3 rounds of Floodgate. It's like Tank Crossing when the teams are even.

[FioPro]

Simple solution - don't play it. Don't play Warfare in UT3. UT3 is game for BTA/DM/TDM/Duel. Go play UT2004 if you like vehicle gametypes.

A response worthy of the Steam forums:

QQ more. L2P.

If the Spider Mines are your only problem, then you should also dislike other maps.
I guess you get spawnkilled on Epic #2 where spawnkilling is not officially forbidden.
(However, they also banned players for immense spawnkilling, so maybe you can report mine-basing players.)

Cheers!

Floodgate plays great in UT2k4. This is even without a countdown node and orb. Soon we will have a countdown node in 2k4 so Floodgate will play even more similar to the UT3 version, not counting the vehicles, which is better.

* the lifts in floodgate node room = awesome
* the DM/foot aspect of the map is kick ass, much different than most other "ONS" maps to date.
* best map combining vehicle vs on foot action.
* Floodgate node is IMO the best use of a kismet controlled node.

This is not a UT3 vs UT2k4 piss match, Floodgate is a great map. The most deserving of a reverse port/remake without changing much.

Thanks Epic

I think WAR-Downtown will be cool in UT2k4 too.

netcode needs work before another UT will be taken seriously.

[Sanch3z]

my 999th post will be my last.... sounds like a good number and Unreal is dead..

[coolcat22]

You did the 2k4 version? It should have less tanks. Or were those patched in by some serverside mutator? Anyway, the optimal amount of tanks on that map is 0.

Thx to u Cr4zy to remove this lame and useless thing of pug

[Cr4zy]

I'm loving how people hate UT3 who then go and port 90% of out back to older games...

[kaotrix]

Good riddance. I really can't stand your pessimistic posts, "ut3 sucks! ive move onto ut04", "unreal is dead goodbye my friends".

Just leave.

I never hated UT3, I think there is alot of good stuff in it. I would be playing UT3 if there were people playing it in the US but there arent so I am playing a game that I can find a good match at any time of the day. If I wanted to play UT3 Warfare online I would have to limit my gaming to certain times of the day which would be lame.

As per the tanks in 2k4 Floodgate, they are there in place of the darkwalkers. Not much else that would work well there.

Sheesh, I for once stick up for something in UT3, Floodgate, and people get all bent out of shape.

[kaotrix]

I just booted up UT3 just now and seem that there are more than enough people playing in the Warfare servers:

When stubborn and pessimistic people such as yourself are constantly reiterating, "OMG THIS GAME IS DEAD!!", "NO ONES PLAYING LOLZ WTF" it gives the impression to prospective players (people who are on the fence for buying this game) that the game truly is dead and that literally no one is playing. Sure, the game doesn't have the millions of players that Modern Warfare 2 has but there's more than enough players online on a daily basis to get a good game going.

[Sanch3z]

what part of US as in United States of America did you fail to understand? And how many people are currently playing Warfare on servers in the US?

I know UT3 is more popular in Europe but I dont live in Europe so it doesnt matter. I am stubborn because I dont play on Euro servers with 200ping?

regardless, you win.. I dont care to argue.

[Sly.]

I have to agree with Sanch3z.
And you should keep in mind that these are Titan servers. Most (former) UT2004 players don't like the Titan mutator and won't play on servers which run it.

[Moloko]

It's a real mystery just how unpopular this game is and has always been in the US(tho let's face it it hardly doing well in europe).The US player count will have put the brakes on future UTs too. Nothing announced and considering the lead in times for planning,ideas, that's probably it , unless PCF are thrown the franchise.

I know. It's a really great game. I think that PC gamers are just very nitpicky and *****y. I know some people who are greatly disturbed by some minor things in the game and thus makes them not want to play it. Personally I hate Modern Warfare 2 and there are numerous features in it that bother me, but I still play it because it's fun from time to time. No game is perfect.

[coolcat22]

wel this game maybe dead but its not that i found a better game the the ut serie s great
i try modern warfare 2 i even try battlefield but i dont like these games

You're answer hits the nail on the head.

That's because we are UT players We like fast games where you don't need cover. Cover is for the weaks! And usually you take cover in these games. I don't like these games too. And I bet that many other UT players don't like them as well.

+1, exactly. In many other FPS games, cover/camping/sneaking is a must, in UT you take cover by running and bunnyjumping and the more you move the better. Having parkisons could even be a benefit with UT and people sometimes wonder if I have the way I move like a bunny on crack.

[Cr4zy]

If you play other FPS games like you play UT, you generally win though :P

[BlueCloud]

Floodgate is a pretty good map. But one minor flaw is that prime is too easy to get back, resulting in long overtime stalemate even if the teams are somewhat balanced. However, the countdown node adds a lot of strategy into the mix, making you ask questions like 'should I go to Floodgate node or the prime?', unlike most other maps in which there is only one node to defend or attack. Not to mention, it's a great node for hand to hand combat via DM.

UT isn't a basic fps game that's it's different and we like or not this game.
