What are YOU worried about concerning UT3?

[rhiridflaidd]

My main worry is Necris vs Axis imbalance. It's a humongous task to balance different vehichle sets. Epic has a better record than any of making gentle fixes instead of wholesale nerfs when balancing in patches, but this will be a bigger task than any they've tried before.

I'd hope for an easy, integrated patching system, that would allow small changes and often.

That and the loss of ONS.

im worried that it wont be finished this year. EEEK!!!

[da.newb]

I'm worried about my computer running the game. Please, Epic, don't forget the semi-casual game.

My main worry is Necris vs Axis imbalance.

I'm pretty sure the Nazis won't be a big threat to the Necris.

I'm pretty sure the Nazis won't be a big threat to the Necris.

How can you be sure?

Anyway the Necris sound not too dissimilar to the Nazis, cold black blood, taking over a planet that's not theirs...giant, three legged walkers...

You mean console gamers? j/k

It shouldn't be a surprise that new games need new hardware.

I'm worried i'll never find teamwork-capable people in warfare
(OMG, TEH FURY IS FAAAST LOLO !!1)

My only worry, and that's not really a worry, is my PC. As it stands now, I don't think it'll run UT3, so I'll have to upgrade. It's only money, true, but it comes from a limited supply.

[Lee_Shagwell]

My only worry is that the release date will be fall 2008 early 2009 instead of january 2008.

With no real updates or announcements from Epic, it's clear there's still loads of work to do.

My biggest worries:

Skin visibility: No video released so far has conclusively shown that the stock skins will be visible enough in all situations. I REALLY hope that this isn't an issue like it was in 2k4.

Hardware requirements: My PC is starting to age a bit, and I'm concerned that I will be able to get a playable FPS.
Also, DT makes a good point about how susceptible UT2k3/2k4 is to crashing. I played a lot of games over 3 DIFFERENT PC's during the life of UT2k3 - UT24k, and these were the ONLY 2 games (or apps) that gave me memalloc headaches on ALL of the PC's I played it on. Other hardware-intensive games would run without a hitch, but UT would crash after 5 minutes of play... Maddening.

Good to **** Map ratio: Both 2k3 and 2k4 suffered from the same disturbing problem: at least 85% of the stock maps released with the game were very bad. Playing on a bad map can quickly cause a newer player to dismiss an entire game as bad.

I was gonna type loads, but this guy already said all of my worries.

I'm just hoping it doesnt turn out too different from other UT series games (UT2004, UT99 etc). I dont want it to be like q3->q4, cos most of the changes were terrible.

Well I'm patiently waiting along with the rest of the community. I do have a few concerns to bring up while waiting....

1.) How long will we have to wait for SADS files? Or will they be released with the game? (don't know if someone posted this already but didn't see it in this thread)
2.) How taxing will this game be on a dedicated server? Will I have to upgrade my dedicated box to host UT3?
3.) Also as one other had mentioned what's in the works as for Anti-Cheat?

There are a few others but those are a few of my main concerns. Also everyone here has some great pov's! Lets hope this game is released this year and will all be fraggin it up!

[Beerzebub]

I'm worried that there will be no competitive play

This is my primary concern. I fear that the game will be all about "beatiful headshots", too noob friednly and not balanced...

The Warfare mode looks fun, though. I hope it'll atract more people than ONS did.

I'm not worried about system requirements.

[Shadow Dancer]

I'm worried that it will succumb to the same fate as so many other Unreal titles: instead of learning how to play it and ejoying it, people will whine and complain on the forums endlessly, meanwhile allowing the game to die out from under them.

If that happens that should tell you something huh? no reason to whine if the game is fun, and not to hard to run off noobs, the main thing is FUN ,,,

[Benfica]

I'm concerned that some guys consider themselves more worthy of the game than others (trolling, complaining that the game is noobish, etc...), even though they paid the same for a game copy.

You can always play *other* maps, ok! A lot of people that complained that UT2004-AS was noob friendly and killed it, should have made other maps or played AS-TempleOfTrials_V4 instead.
