    Should The Hoverboard Be More Integrated Into UT3?

    I just thought I would post what some (maybe a lot of?) people are thinking:

    They should integrate the hoverboard more into the core game play.

    That is, make it so players can not only use (fire) weapons while hoverboarding, but also pick up powerups if they fly over them too.

    The reason I suggest this is because this could be one of the defining features that makes UT3 truly unique. This could be the "X" factor that makes this version of UT3 stand out among every other online MP shooter game.

    There could exist Hoverboard-only CTF, DM and TDM maps where the only way to survive is to use a hover board.

    I'm sure Mark Rein and Epic thought long and hard about this, but hopefully, if there are no future plans for a patch a mutator is made that allows this unique feature to be fully exploited in the hopes of brining new players to the game.

    What are your thoughts?

    Please keep comments mature and civil even if you disagree.

      I don't think Epic will do it. The good news is that the game is modifiable, so I can assure you that somebody in the community will modify the hoverboard to do just those types of things that you describe. I know I'm looking forward to it. I'm also looking forward to seeing all the "skate-park" type maps that are eventually going to be made by the community, too (I'm planning on making at least one myself).

        We (at Chaos) haven't gotten that far yet in the code, but chances are that's not going to happen. Just like in UT2004, it is probably still an engine limitation - ie: you can't use any of your regular 'inventory' of weapons when using any vehicle, including the hoverboard. In time, we'll know for sure.

        Chaos started the hoverboard grappling in UT2004, and we also did make a 'Hoverboard only' VCTF. It was called HyperCTF, and it is most likely going to be returning to Chaos UT3. It's in our current plans anyway. Can't say for DM though.

        You might wanna try Chaos when it comes. I hope you do anyway.

          Pffff. No such thing as limits, just obstacles.

            It would be cool if someone modded the hoverboard to make it more manouevreable - sharper turning radius and higher jump etc -Tony Hawk's Unreal Tournament.

              No that would make the hoverboard actually useful.

              Epic does not want.
