Dodge Jumping

[saintavril]

I am greatly concerned about the ut3 demo and the game in general. Firstly i am a massive fan of instagib ctf and it worries me that it is not present in the demo. Secondly how on earth are you meant to play instagib or any other game mode without dodge jump. In ut04 if you werent adept at dodge jumping you nearly always sucked. At the moment i really cant picture ut3 being any good without dodge jump being present.

You play it the SAME WAY you played it in UT99. Guess what? People didn't have any trouble playing without dodgejumping in UT99!

The same way we UT99'ers always played Instagib, with a thing called skill.

Gosh people don't realize that not everything is available in a demo. :\

I hope dodge jumping never exists, it was the bane of UT2003(4). I'm glad Epic got rid of that mess and brought out the UT99 style more.

UT99 IG is extremely active.

UT99 has no dodge jump.

I dunno man, i like it without the dodge jump

...

Do you call skill whoever has the quickest reflexes? Wasnt the main reason why instagib was so popular was because it was so fast-paced? Double jumping is a bit too slow for my liking but anyway thats your opinion and i nerver play back in 1999.

go away with dodge jump .. its useless

[Maiaral]

Im used to dodge jumping, im a long term ut player, started at '99 .. skipped 2003 (sucked :P) and allot 2k4, where I got used to dodgje jump to move around.

But it seems they made normal dodging a bit faster, and since playing some matches I don't really mis the thing.

Better is that we still have double jump and wall dodge. I think its quite ballanced

[Mardarkin]

God, you should be happy you can still double-jump and bounce off walls. If something as minute as the ability to (implausibly) dodge a mile will hinder your gameplay that much, you're a maniac. This is as close to UT99 as it needs to be, and it's all the sexier because of it, in my opinion; now you can concentrate on aiming, instead of tapping WASD like your life depends on it.

Insta-Gib in UT99 was and still is great!
I still play it, in fact I played it just 10 minutes ago and had a great time lol.
Dodge Jump sucked, and like spikestabber said, we use a thing called skill.
Insta-Gib = Hell Yes! Dodge Jump = No, oh god please no!!

[Haste]

I disagree,
instagib CTF without a dodge jump is something I can't even imagine. Epic is really playing with fire here. They'll loose a lot of players by removing this feature and the game is somehow "noobish" slow now. Movement was the key in UT2004 and Epic missed it here completely.

[Maiaral]

the characters overal movement speed has been increased so has the dodge speed, you can still walk very fast by using dodge or walldodge at the right spots. I think it'll still match out.

[Tagen]

Geez. I cant believe people are so upset over something as goofy as dodge/jump. Once the game goes gold someone will be out there making a dodge/jump mutator.

Mutators fix all the complaints of any UT game. Why dont people figure that out?

[Apathy]

Dodge jump was garbage.
