My Detailed impressions about UT3
Hi Everyone!
I've bought the collectors edition and patched to 1.1 few days ago, and after having spent some time playing, I'd like to tell what I think of this game.
I think that technically (I mean, the hard stuff) this is the best-built game I ever played! Graphically cool and very optimized, on my laptop runs better than any other UE3 game (for istance, Bioshock).
Also it has probably the best netcode I ever tried... I can play in the biggest maps with lots of players, explosions, particles and other cool stuff with a **** 800kbits ADSL!
About the game modes, I say:
Warfare: Offline is bad because of the bots, that never make clever choices! I mean, I have to do all myself, and this becomes impossible to manage in large maps! Still not tried online.
Deathmatch and CTF are good offline and AWESOME online!! Faster than in any other game! And very satisfying when you kill someone! Yes, because some online players are incredibly skilled, I wonder how much hours they have spent on this game!
Single player campaign: It is NOT a single player campaign! I expected a real single player campaing (like half life), not what I found, that should be labeled "Play_a_lot_of_deathmatches_and_CFTs_and_Warfare_a nd_Warfare_and_Warfare_with_some_beautiful_movies_ inside" but maybe this would not fit on the menu.
Other things:
Crashing: Unfortunately, on my laptop the game still crashes, and this is not a good point, especially in Warfare that is long to complete and required in the SP campaign.
Game modes: Aarrrrhhhh.. where are the great Bombing run and Double Domination modes of UT2004???! They were great! Hope they will be included in the future!
Collectors Bonus Disk: I appreciated it a lot, and it is what is needed to learn using the Editor!
Finally, I would like to spend some words abouts the online gaming mode:
Most of the players are better than me (I'm ranked around 10000...), and after playing some hours I concluded that there should have been a dynamic system based on ranking that allows players to play only with others with similar skills.
I mean, only the best gamers will really enjoy because they always win, but those who aren't skilled enough and cannot play 5hrs a day to train, will always lose because all servers are opened to all players.
Or maybe, someone could tell me which are the n00b servers
However, this is the best UT ever, and also best fast-paced FPS ever!! And ****, I like it!
