Unreal Tournament

Does anyone here play Unreal? I've only experienced the "Game of the Year" edition, but I think a lot of the levels are the same, because I recognize Facing Worlds on capture the flag from years ago.

So, if you do, what's your favorite type of play (Deathmatch, Domination, Capture the Flag, Assault) and favorite level.

Also what difficulty do you play on? And do you ever get bored and use cheats (like ghost) to just fly around and watch the bots play?

Re: Unreal Tournament

It's been years since I last played this game, and I might consider installing it after this thread

My absolute favorite was the level "Hall of Giants", it was originally a Capture the Flag level, but I turned it into a great Deathmatch level.

Put the bots to the highest (insane or godlike?), put weapon only as rocket launcher, add some relics for fun, and giddy-up!

On a medium level I enjoyed this level as CTF too, all weapons, no relics. Killing the other team with the shockrifle/minigun and gathering nukes like it was the Cold War ^^

Re: Unreal Tournament

CTF was always my favorite. Well, unless I got stuck on a team with the stupidest bot ever, Rhea.

MMM...CTF were good times.

Re: Unreal Tournament

I used to play some level with 2 big towers in each side and a sky bridge connecting them. I would cheat to get the big nuke thing with 999 missiles then just sit at the top and launch it at the bots and see if they could outrun the explosion.

Re: Unreal Tournament

Whoa, this game is something I spent lots of hours on when it was new. Memories returning...

I used to play mainly assault, but also deathmatch and domination. Never assault versus bots though, since they were somewhat easy to trick. And once you learn "shortcuts" from online play...well, bots couldn't keep up.

Deathmatch and domination was funny though, I usually played on Inhuman or Godlike towards the end, nowadays I suppose I would have to move down a few steps. :scratchchin:

Favorite level, any not-too-large-but-still-not-too-small, with both open areas and narrow ones. Pressure was one of the funniest DM maps, best DOM was Sesmar, Best CTF map Hydro16.

The bot difficulty must have been set very low then, since sitting at the top would make you an excellent target for their snipers?

Re: Unreal Tournament

Just finished installing the game again and playing a round, dang, I never realized how rusty I've gotten.
Played a little deathmatch against 10 of the medium AI bots, first one to get 50 kills, ended up being second on the list, I feel deeply ashamed :coffee:

Hall of Giants is the most epic map ever.

I need to reinstall now.

I LOVE YOU!

Erm, I mean, I love this game and espescially that particular map :whistling:

Re: Unreal Tournament

Johnny, that level was Facing Worlds. On medium, the bots don't bother to shoot back at the top of the tower. Plus head shots kill with just one shot.

Ah good old Facing Worlds, I remember I made an easy game there once to see howmany headshots I could get in 5 minutes.

So I set my clock to 5 minutes, put all bots on defending the base, went to the top of the tower, took the sniperrifle and started.
After a few seconds, the game couldn't even keep up with my headshots, instead of Monsterkill it just kept saying Momomomomomonsterkill over and over. (iirc Monsterkill means you have 5 or 6 headshots after eachother?)

At the end, I don't remember the exact number anymore, but I managed to get 400+ headshots in 5 minutes :alright:

EDIT: I just tried it out, took me 5 minutes to get one Monsterkill, again I must admit shame...
Headshot -> Double kill -> Multi kill -> Mega kill -> Ultra kill -> M-M-M-Monsterkill-kill-kill-kill
(triggers when you kill multiple opponents within a short amount of time)

My friend modified that map once so the entire area connecting the two towers was invisible. So you had to guess where the ground was or use your memory as best you could. Since the road peak at the middle you would have people trying to shoot each other through the ground, it was hilarious in multiplayer.

Re: Unreal Tournament

I used to play it online couldn't get into the later games for some reason.I used to like getting the weapon that fired circular saws and I remember a certain place near a doorway or something where I could be relatively hidden and just kept firing and getting headshot after headshot.As I was only a casual player I hated it when everyone on was really good as constantly dieing is no fun although there was a time when everyone on must of been crap because I was some how top scorer(a bit later I went back to the bottom as better players filled back in).

Re: Unreal Tournament

There are updated renderers that are more compatible for more modern systems. There are also higher resolution world textures you can install and make UT more visually pleasing. This thread is a good starting point, although the updated renderers aren't available at the moment.

Re: Unreal Tournament

UT 99 was my addiction for years back in high school. God knows how many hours I put into assault. With all the launches, impact jumping, all the custom maps, instagib. Grand Canyon ML_2 was by far my favorite map.
