Stryfe UT3 review + 2 short new videos

[KriLL3.8™]

There isn't a good reason to have 2 guns that do almost the same thing.

all guns do the same thing, damage. but its about how they dish it out!

And both the LG and Sniper both have zoom and instant hit slow reload high damage, they're nearly the same gun except for a different effect.

Problem with the interviewer is that he was expecting UT3 to be 2k4 or 99 with better graphics, but found out that it is instead a different game.

K, I agree about the premature review, but lets give the guy a bit more credit than that. In a recent video interview of his, he states this very thing... new game, new learning curve.

What I don't agree with is the "bright skins" mod. I am a big fan of the early unreal where you could literally disapear in a map. What happened to LMS?! :-)

say that to all those people who absolutely hate the LG and those who love it (like me). there was also a poll about it somewhere and things got pretty heated up lol

I much prefer it myself, the LG feels like it was made mostly to show of the lightning effect, I'm happy they dropped it since it caused some confusion in maps that had both.

Looks like he was playing the Ageia PhysX example level, not a retail level. If that about the goo is right I feel a bit worried about the weapon balance..

he is playing on a laptop, and laptops don't have ageia hardware ****

[zeitgeber]

actually this one does, its dells new lineup

With the LG you could on occasion get a 'multi kill' from one shot. (and not by blowing up a full hellbender)
but perhaps there's going to be a mod that re-adds it, and hopefully a few servers that have it

Tch. Another "pro" crybaby.

heaven forbid we should have weapon balance

Heaven forbid they actually play UT3 before commenting.

[Madridista]

to be honest the only thing that made me worry about his review is that thing about the sniper-rifle, helmet, and skins.

Other balance issues can be easily fixed after Epic will launch the demo and get some feedback, but the helmet thingy is one big bull**** that screws up the armor system and the skins.. not that big issue but i was hoping to UT99 style skins so we wont have to use brightskins but, oh well.

What he said about the sniper made me worried because i thought epic would learn their lesson from UT2K4 sniper-rifle screw-up but apperantly sniper is still ****, altough ill have to play it by myself because it dosent look THAT bad in the videos.

Skins - the older builds of the engine didn't have the special skins at a distance thing implemented. Can't judge off of this Mod.

Helmet - I think it's an interesting new twist. You can see if someone is wearing a helmet, so shoot them in the body, it's an easier shot anyway.

Sniper - I'll wait to try it myself.

[Str1der]

It would be better if the helmet only prevented the extra damage from a headshot instead of absorbing all damage. Basically it should function like other armor absorbing some of any damage type with the added bonus of preventing the extra damage due to headshots.
