Things I would change/fix in a patch

[OmegaZero]

1) There seems to be a delay in the shock rifle comboing speed - basically you can shoot the ball but not shoot the line shot for another one or two seconds, which makes it completely unusable for short range fighting. I'm a SERIOUS shock ***** so I use the shock rifle even in close range - but can't seem to do it with the delay how it is. You should be able to combo like - I dunno - .5 seconds after the ball is released (don't quote me on that speed - not like I timed it - I just know the current speed seems MUCH longer than it was in the past games)

2) Where are the options in the menu? I don't see any option to change the voice announcer, do voice chat, change input speed times or anything like that (I mean compare all the options on the display and input tab for UT 2k4 to the amount of options in UT3). I'm not sure if the options are missing just because they are more advanced features and were meant to be put in later? Or if it is just a matter of a reduced menu for beginners? Whatever the case - the more options the better IMO.

3) Taunts, dances, motions, voices etc. - IMO one of the more important features. Right now I can't even tell a team mate I got their back or anything like that...

4) The impact hammer vs. shield gun debate. Ok so I know that some people liked the shield gun because it could protect them for a shot or two while others hated it because it messed up good shots. I personally don't care whether the shield gun comes back or not, the only thing I would like is for a alt fire that was actually useful in game types that DO NOT HAVE VEHICLES. Right now the alt fire for the impact hammer in CTF or DM is completely useless.

5) Have an option to turn off arrows easily

6) Make it easier to exit the game. It seems like when I want to quit I have to hit disconnect, back back back exit. Even worse is that the buttons I have to hit now are located on different parts of the screen, so I have to sit there finding them. I'm not sure exactly what the best method is - but at most it should be like a keypress and a click or something

7) Everytime I start the game and do multiplayer-->Join game, I have to change the settings (select CTF, uncheck "show empty servers" and "show full servers"). PLEASE make it so that these settings are saved so I don't have to do this everytime.

Ok I'll stop ranting. Other than that congrats epic you guys did an amazing job - I truely feel like UT3 is the REAL successor to UT99, and that with a few patches, it will get even better. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR BRINGING BACK THE GAME I LOVED!!

In unrealed sometimes my mouse cursor dissapears and it's very frustrating to get it back.

There has always been a small delay between how soon you can fire the shock primary, after shooting the shock secondary. The delay here is nothing different than previous versions. In fact, if it were significantly quicker, you would combo yourself while running forward.

Alt fire for the Impact Hammer knocks powerups from players.

The UI is going to be changed in a future patch from Epic.

What is the point? You can hold that down and do that, or you can just use primary and kill them and collect the powerup when they die... it's ridiculous IMO.

My point exactly. If you are going to go through all the trouble to nail someone with the impact hammer - I would think it would be better to severly damage them and most likely kill them than just knock the power up off them - especially since they will drop the power up when they die.

And as far as the shock rifle - there must be some delay or something different, as I said I simply cannot combo within an extrmeley short range - where as I coudl in the previous games.

Also I added request #7 to my list of things to change..
