Quite unlikely.

[KriLL3.8™]

Will most likely be a user created mod, some of the UT2004 skaarj could be used I guess.

[unrealkiller]

I don't thing so.

[RoGv3]

Quite unlikely.

Looks like regular CTF is dead too! It must be me but I don't like the vehicles and CTF in UT2k4 rocked. Fingers crossed but the hoverboard and trick jumps are what my kid's do!

Is that you Lord Simeon, the mapper from UT days? I reviewed a lot of your work for InSite a while back.

Invasion would be good if they actually made some real models instead of some old **** from 1999. Reusing skaarj from 2k4 is a big no-no. It will have the same graphical problems that were present in 2k4 invasion.

If they just remake the skaarj, pupae, gasbag etc. and give them ue3 quality graphics then invasion would be fun and feel professional. They should also add some explanation for how the gametype fits in with a tournement based story.

They already have a krall model

this thread has some skaarj models for ut3:

and this one:

And if they did the rest of the models now they could reuse them in Unreal III later (If it ever happens).


I actually have considered making a mod for ut2k4 called "Real Invasion" because i am so ****** by the old U1 models. essentially it is the same as normal invasion but all the monsters would get new models. The skaarj can have the stock iron skull models. The rest could be done manually. I would need to reanimate the iron skull skaarj though.

Invasion is a pwnworthy gametype, but the fact that it feels out of place in the tournement style story and that it has **** graphics decreases its enjoyment a lot. Either way, i like it and would love it if epic redid it for UT3. Just make sure you use new models!
Invasion is great for co-op over LAN, the most fun i've ever had is a LAN game of invasion with 3 friends.

The retail version got regular CTF with a TL, don't worry, the beta lacks a number of things that are in the retail version.

Do you know why the U1 stuff was used for invasion in UT2004? Because having your screen full of UT2004 quality models would have made a computer that came out when UT2004 did melt, same now, if you had 30~ high res models on screen at once even a beast of a machine would crawl.

They already have a krall model

So all players that use that model would be confused with the monsters? Not a good idea.

Imo, the Skarrj model from UT2004 and some of the U2 monsters would make great invasion monsters for UT3.

No, I'm someone else - we do have the same name it seems. As for mapping, I've only released two maps (so far), both for UT2004

[VACkillers]

actually in an another thread, some guy has found some interesting coding in the config/ini files to suggest that their might be a "Survival" game type, which looks like a conversion of the Invasion game type.
