lighting gun

[capable heart]

anything you can do from the console can't and shouldn't be considered a cheat.

I'm gonna improve upon that bind


setbind [key] fov [zoomfov] | sensitivity [lower]| onrelease fov [defaultfov] | sensitivity [default sens]

unless sensitivity isn't the right command i'm playing too much quake these days.

I can type in "god" "loaded" and "ghost" in the console, but I'm pretty sure those are cheats. Your definition fails, lol.

So admin a server and use those online. See how populated your server gets.

And in UT, it's "setsensitivity", not just sensitivity. Dno if they changed that.

Well everbody has their right to their own opinion, but I just have to say that as a long-term UT99 player I wholeheartedly disagree. UT just wouldn't be UT without the rifle - especially CTF (and I could right novels as to why)...that said, the day it's gone, I'm gone...

Euhh and since when did UT have a lightning gun? It only had a real sniper rifle. Which ut2kx still had, and which UT3 has as well.. Your point is flawed.

The sniper/lightning gun hasn't been my favorite weapon in the UT games, I don't care if it shoots a bullet or a light beam though.

Sniper mods rule. I'm a massive fan of them. There were so many decent sniper servers in UT99 and UT2004. I miss Fraggalonia so much...

[DireWolf]

I liked the lightning gun, i think it would be more appropriate in UT3 as it felt it cud be used more in close combat which is what UT3 is all about, sniper rifle to me just means it has to be used from a distance.

[Cuddles]

The LG is practically a sniper with different effects. Whopteedoo.

Unfortunately, the development team since the UT2Kx series has been really anti-sniper. Did you know that originally they were actually going to GET RID OF THE SNIPER RIFLE altogether in 2K4??

They must be mostly flagrunners and close-quarters DMers, as the trend is just getting worse I'm sad to say...

Just for the record, this is complete rubbish. The sniper was actually the first high poly weapon modeled in the office. That version was eventually moved over to UC2 before 2k4 went into development, but the Sniper has always been a favorite here, and remained so throughout UT3 development.

I think the lightning gun was a cool idea but i just didn't like the implementation. Dont think it works as a sniper type weapon, might be better served as Bio Rifle or Impact Hammer style. Close range attack.

UT has never been a sniper related series though. I've never seen the point of having it in. It isn't a tactical shooter where the sniper has his place. Its a close combat game.

Not true at all , a huge amount of the clans for Ut 2004 and 3 are sniper clans , infact in my clan , we have 3 servers all of which are sniper servers , infact one of them is always #1 or # 2 on the UT 2004 gametracker rankings. Sniping can work very well in Ut , but it works best when you have custom sniper maps to play , which on our servers all of our maps are mostly sniper maps.

lol I'm pretty sure they wont, just hope some 1 makes it or you make it if you want ^_^

lol Hi Jim Brown

[dinwitty]

I tend to thnk the LG was an answer to cheaters and reveals their position. The UT3 sniper still has a reveal effect but not as prominent. A mapper can leave the sniper out if he/she feels it wouldnt work for the map. If servers mods out the effect thats balanced for all the players, but will reflect in the stats a mod was used. The point of the sniper is being hidden and I have sniped plenty on Face and taking off opponent snipers, the fun part is one player found my spot and fragged me close...haha....
The LG dead effect was cool tho. Maybe some kind of electrical energy weapon will return somehow...

ummm, I'm not following you AT ALL dude...all I was saying was that every UT has HAD a sniper rifle from the get-go (the LG came along which was kind of a nice gun in open combat, but gave away position even worse than the sniper in 2K4)...LG was a hybrid type of a gun - hardly a "sniper" rifle though...
