This game is great and the second patch is coming out soon so it will be ever better. Anyway who thinks this is an upgrade to UT2K4 is smokin it up. I have both installed on my system and there is no comparison. Most of the people complaining at the various sites I frequent seem to be either running it on older hardware OR are fairly new to the UT series and find the majority of players online too skilled to have any fun with. The next patch improves things greatly on the server side of things and solves pretty much anything that was missed in the first patch. Eventually there is going to be a UT 3.5 bonus pack (made up name) that will add a lot of content so I think this game has a great future ahead of it, just a little slow getting going.
LMAO LIES. You want to source any of this BS you've posted? Specifically the new patch? Or that most of the people complaining are running on older hardware or suck at playing? That patch 2 "will add a lot of content" etc? Lol. I usually get 3rd to 1st place when I play; so it's not that "I'm not skilled enough to have fun". I'm sick of the UI, I'm bored with it (basically you get to play CTF, Warfare/Onslaught, and Deathmatch. Duel and "campaign" are a joke and add nothing.) Where are the rest of the game modes? Specifically, they removed Invasion, Mutant, Onslaught, Bombing Run, Last Man Standing, Domination, Double Domination, and Assault; the latter of which was removed during production (?) probably when it went gold. This game sucks and was totally not worth my money; and nor is it worth anyone elses imo, which is probably why there's only 2-3 servers in each gameplay mode with more than 2 players at any given time. They're going to have to release all these other gameplay modes before I recommend this to my friends or ANYONE really. Paid $50 got a $20 game. I should have researched before buying.
edit: I take back some of this stuff; I seem to have found stuff about 3.5 so I'm reading it now. Basically if that adds back in these other gameplay modes they removed then I'll be happy. Otherwise, um, no. Definitely no.
edit2: Patch 2 still doesn't allow you to serverbrowse while connected to a game. So still have to click disconnect, confirm, and then go through the menu to get to the list of servers again. This is one of my biggest beefs: just turn it back into 2k4 menu style and everyone will be happy. No need to fix what isn't broken. And how about some actual content? This game is half a game.
