Patch 2 and Instant Action

[gargorias]

I have played and supported this game since UT99.
I am a big fan of UT3 having sung its praises on many occasions but now I,m just totally fed up.
I play UT3 both online and offline including a hell of a lot of Instant Action but even after all this time there is still:

(1)No spectate button.
(2)Map player count not being used.
(3)No way to change levels without going back to the Main Menu.

Epic you have essentially made Instant Action unbearable because if you start a level that say requires 16-32 players you have to manually set it to 24 but then hey that sticks for any future level you load in making you have to change it again and again to make matters worse we now have to double click menu items making the whole going back to the Main Menu to change levels a really big pain in the ***.

How about you guys take a look at the instant action interface from previous version of this game and give us Instant Action players something decent hey!

I doubt if I will be firing this game up much at all any more!

I hear ya, and I agree those are slight annoyances, but they don't kill the game for me.

Well the author of Project UT has already done the whole map selection and player count thingy but its with his custom gametypes only, you only get it if you are playing one his custom gametypes and if you select one of Epics gametypes it reverts back. Here is a shot of what you get if if you press the ESC key at the end of or during an Instant Action level and hit the MAP item at the top of the screen.

No main menu and all gametypes and map settings on the one page and map player count is correct.
Looks like I will be playing this only for Insant Action then as I am fortunate enough to have an Alpha of it albeit with bugs!

For crying out loud, are you talking about the Titan Pack or the patch 2.0? You know patches for all games are usually free and they usually fix things.
The UI on all the previous versions of this game were much easier to use and I would like to spend more time playing the **** game then stuffing around with the UI thanks. This issue is fixable and has been mentioned before by some loyal senior UT fans and so should have been addressed. You other people can go on and on as much as you like, the whole truth of the matter is that we still have the same lame UI that we had before (IMHO worse) and when all your excitement over the Titan Pack wanes you will notice that.

would be nice to have the normal bot options... restarting back to main menu is kinda anoying but as someone else pointed it doesn't kill the game for me either... its a minor issue... i would just like to have the option to randomize the bots so i dont have to keep playing with the same bots everytime..
