Yeah I see that now, I thought that rapid movement was connected all the way to the actual piston, now I see the piston doesn't move while that jerking thing happens.

Don't think it does, watch this footage

The clip after the clip when he says "...Legally" the hammer when in use seems to just do the rapid thing.

That rapid thing is the IH charging up. Look at it again. You can see it charges briefly, and then releases, then charges again for a longer period of time, then apparently the player dies. But that's exactly how the IH has worked before. Keep in mind that, at any time if an enemy player touches the IH while it's charging, it'll discharge against them.

IMRO, after seeing that video, I am confident the IH will work before as it always has.

Perhaps he is rapidly pressing the primary button? There's no way to tell until the demo of course, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. I asked about IH-jumping in the chat a few weeks back and was told that you couldn't really do it anymore. This may be why. I was always partial to Impact jumps over rockets anywho. No sense wasting fraggin' ammo...

i have a question for the new impact hammer...does it charge up like the previous impact hammer and the shield gun?

Well most game journalists only play a few games themselves, the rest they don't know anything about, I think it would be best if gaming sites made sure they had guys that played each kind of game so when something like this comes along they can send people that know what Unreal is about, not some douche that yesterday only wrote about and played totally different games and only have passing interest in UT3.

Nope, spoke with them in the BU IRC channel, we drilled em some when they got back.

That's OK... the BU crew I trust to understand what they're talking about... all the other folk that were at EPIC the other day didn't know the difference between an Orb and a Power Core... and they got to play the game.

There is no confusion at all, it has been confirmed by the guys that played the game at the press event.

But there is still confusion over whether it even has tht ability or not.

Even if the EMP is in, its not shot you'd have to touch said vehicle to get its effect to work. But there is still confusion over whether it even has tht ability or not.

[Tagen]

Awesome. I like the idea of having an EMP on my hammer.

And that spidermine rumor was about the AVRiL, which isn't true either, you can only control the spider mines with the AVRiL's laser, you can't lay any.
