i have been playing UT3 for the 360 for a few days now and a few things are annoying me.
Team colours.
i go into a CTF match, so the people on the red team are red and the people on the blue team are blue. well not in UT3 on 360. i thought i was being team killed, then i found out there is no Friendly fire. some skins screw up the automated blue and red colours. i don't know for which skins this is the case but im guessing ronin because they are red by nature.
this is the most major problem in the game right now, because of this i'm never sure if it's a team mate or an enemy that comes around the cornor. so basically in a while everyone is going to be using those skins and everyone will be red.
this needs to be fixed ASAP.
Ping.
on the PS3 version i hear a ping bar was patched into the game, after many complaints from the Ps3 users. you've been hard at work for several months getting the 360 version ready, but i guess you forgot the add the ping bar on 360 as well. this should be patched in, because right now i have to join to see if its laggy and it's really annoying because it might cost me 5 minutes to find a lag free server.
Mutators.
there should be a way to search for games with specific traits. i like to play a little instagib now and then, but i have to join server after server to find one.
Dedicated server.
i was going to dinner, and i had the brilliant idea to host a dedicated server from my own box to encourage other people to do the same sometime. but what i found out was that i couldn't even spectate the matches on my server. i find this strange because you can spectate if you are a challenger on someone elses server. why can't we spectate as a dedicated server host, even though we can vote which map to play.
and at last i would like to make a suggestion: you said you were bringing the best custom content as DLC. i suggest you bring a new mutator that allows players to swap out super-pick ups. that would be really cool because that would allow us to make our own custom maps (kind of) by combining the weapon swap mutator and the new super-pick up swap mutator.
feel free to comment on the problems i listed, or tell people about your own problems you encountered.
