You know a server fails when...

[Killerus]

well you have to take into account that we are probably gonna see alot of people who have never played UT before, hence what most would consider stupid questions. Instead of calling them names or having a childish meltdown, why not try to help them out. What this will accomplish is more players knowing what to do and will also keep those new players in the game. If every server they goto and ask a question and they have an idiot like the OP respond with "STFU Noob!" how long do you think they will stay online? Grow the community a player at a time instead of chastising someone because they don't have your "level" of knowledge about the game.

I agree, we shouldnt automaticaly demonize them, but still, reading on the comment with the core. I mean, COME ON. even if it's the first time one plays this game, the FOURTH MISSION in the campain is with a core. it explains ALL THE BASICS you need to win. I dont automaticaly insult these people, I just boot them if I can, in ANY game I play. There is a certain level of play that is expected once you click on that "multiplayer button". you dont have to be GOOD at the game you just HAVE to know the rules!

On a side note, you're playing basketball at a park on a saturday afternoon. It's a friendly competion, with bragging rights for the neighbourhood on the line, there is no money or prize at stake, just your honor and pride. Two guys show up and ask to join you guys. you ask them i they know how to play, they say yes. you let em in. game starts. you pass the ball to guy 1. he catches it. runs(not dribbles) RUNS with the ball to the basket, sinks it in and yells, ONE - ZERO!

what do YOU DO? or SAY?

- everyone in your team seems to be content with letting the opposing team control the countdown node. Those nodes are completly useless, aren't they?

Oh god yes. Either no one goes to it or everyone goes to it, leaving the other nodes exposed.

I also get annoyed with count down nodes when you're the only one on your team defending it but a lot more on the other team are attacking it. Yet the other nodes aren't taken by your team.

[Killerus]

the countdown nodes are not useless, often they cause damage to the core without actually having to directly attack it.

You know a player fails when:

- He doesn't try to make it a fun place to be for all.

- He doesn't help newcomers to the game

Seriously, some people may not have a suitable localized UT3 to play, them may not able to read the manual. Give your helpful hands to them, that's a real unreal game.

These are the winnners.

Closing.
