New to UT

[Ascule-KG2]

If " we " are at weapons, I prefer the good' ol armory of U99, that did the job, and still does - i think - . But a lil' bloodfreshing isn't a bad ID, like ""UnrealGrrl"" said :

I once went to a LAN party and beat everyone, relying only on the Impact Hammer. Man that was fun! F3@R T3H R0BUT W!TH T3H H@MM3R!

yeah we used to have great all hammer-only nights pretty regularly on MyUnreal in the good ole daze CTF-Carpark was a fun map for that!

There was the grenade launcher too, though I'm not sure if it made it into UT3.

The UT game play is incomparable. Sure, it doesn't have realistic weapons, but so what? If you want an action-packed FPS with great online multiplayer, including community-organized competition, such as teams and leagues, this is it.

UT does have a variety of weapons types to suit players with different skills--hitscan weapons, splash damage weapons, spammy weapons (shotgun type and rapid-fire), and even an excellent predictive weapon where you try to predict your opponent's movement (shock combo). It may take a while to become comfortable with all of them and to master them and to figure out what situations call for what weapons, but that's part of the challenge of the game.

I don't know what the Capture-the-Flag game will be like in UT3, but in UT1 it totally rocked.

this question has been asked before. handthrown grenades are almost 100% not gunna be in, although sum1 will almost certainly make a mod that you can download which will give you a lot of realistic weapons to play with.

i believe you are right, but realistic weapons don't make sense in UT. If i want realistic weapons ill go play medal of honor or call of duty or some other slow paced fps game. I play UT for the fast paced action and AWESOME weapons.

Haha, yea. Good'ol 4 way ffa Impact Hammer only duels. Good times!

It's best to use it in a chaotic free for all setting. rather, that is when it is most effective. It most enjoyable (imo) when used in a 1on1 match.

[No_CTuRN_aL]

The only time I ever use the impact hammer is when I run out of ammo or when I try to get to a higher place by shooting the ground. Too cumbersome.

[David]

Using the impact hammer is like pistol whipping someone in a much more embarrassing way.
