Tell me why... (about competitiv multiplayer messes)

[Decoye Gheist]

Hey,

can anybody tell me why, nearly every competitiv multiplayer game needs to be laghell in the firstplace?

I mean what is it is it so hard to know the Point behind UT3?
Is it so hard to see what it was build for?

I guess not, so why the *** wont lose the major review peeps, a single word about the multiplayer part, that is the main focus of the game, and the horros you are about to confront if you really want to buy it?

1. you never have a chance to see the connection to the host server, so you nearly alway walk blind ways into server laghell.

2. no chance to see the servers configuration in player matches.

3. This is a game that gets its main fun from serious Team Modes that are all together awesome.
So why dont you put in a party up option???
To prevent unfair gaming? Ok i get it.
But why not in the player modes?

4. Leaderboards i wont even lose a word about that.

5. It takes longer for Xbox users to wait for this game, plus 2 delays from release dates. And this makes ign.com write:"this game is better than the PS3 Version, because of the better multiplayer modes and added chars and maps."
Yeah on PS3 you press trangle an can see to what server conditions you are about to connect. You can edit maps for your own. And the PS3 even has Malkom, not that i care about any UT char befor, i dont get the idead behind placing new chars into a game and take others out...

Answer me, i am interested.

How long will it take to make Epic announce a Patch that will fix all the bugs?
Hopfully as long as they have taken for beta testing.

LOL, Funny dude, while I have sympothy for the fact you are mad, the release
problems where not Epic's fault, but rather Microsoft, that is why there is no custom content for the 360. Trust me I love my 360 as much as the next guy, but that is EXACTLY why I decided to upgrade my Comp. I havn't played the 360 version, but from what I hear there are alot of problems. Honestly I kind-of feel bad saying this, but Epic is kind-of lazy. They created (Tim Sweeny) the Unreal Engine, and I believe that is why this is so, they do not need Mega Hits to stay in the green, because the engine is constantly being sold to developers to make other games like R6V. Thus I find UT3 has a lack of quality, it has fun multiplayer, but as story is concerned I'd rather play Halo. I believe that Epic made a good decision with GoW, but still the story isn't great, they need better writers, and they need to spend more time on other thing, sure helping multiplayer in nice, but already sucessful multiplayer isn't as important as an all-around good game. I personally have sympothy for all the people who plan on or already did buy this for 360, but you have to understand that Epic is not fully responsible, while they are a little to blame, microsoft dropped a truck on EPIC and UT3 (360) players.

Hello,

hmm i am not completely positiv with this one...
First, i aint requesting a better single player campaign for UT3, since playing UT from the first incarnation i know what it holds in stock for this one.

What i ask for is putting people ino Beta tests who know what side of the pencil can write, because honestly, i would be ashamed if my name would be written in the Credits under the point Beta Testers.
After playing this game for about the last two days i would call everyone, right from where i stand, a liar who says that Epic has even put one **** Tester onto their 360 UT3 code at least not one with a brain.
I asked myself what are the conditions to become an EPIC Games Xbox 360 Beta Tester...

What i ask is, Patch the Lag Problem, Patch the Server Listing issues.
This is the least to await from a Dev who brought out Gears of War what was and is one of the best Multiplayer exp in Xbox 360 history, why not make UT3 one too?

I dont get it...
