Oh man, looks awesome, man I hope they do Chaos for it. Have any of you played Ballistic Weapons, that was a super fun mod? That would be a great add on.

Really liking the look of that castle map and the movement model within the game at the moment. Interesting layout with lots of places to trick jump!

It's looking so much fun
I may or may not have jumped in the air when they said a playable Alpha build may be out before the end of the year
what took them so long.
Gota try and find my ut2004 game in the attic now
you're not alone... I think many an attic has been rummaged with all the UT reminiscing

Well yeah it was without question they would put Face in the game...people would freak out if that wasn't in the game.

I never really liked Face....

Some of the other maps were much more fun! I was just never into the huge open maps where it was pretty much only snipers. Granted "only snipers" doesn't really mean much these days looking at UT99 as they're horrifically overpowered compared to everything else in the game nowadays thanks to not having dialup lag

Face was never popular in competitive play (especially Instagib) as it just turned into a spam fest in the center of the map. The map also rewarded spawn killing to control the enemy base while your flag carrier legged it past the middle. Games tended to be very low scoring between evenly matched sides or stupidly one sided.
I recall a clanbase instagib cup game on Face that ended up lasting well over an hour till one side managed to get a flag back to there base.
Personally I loved the soundtrack to Face much more than the actual map. I hated playing it in official wars as did everyone else I knew. However I loved playing it on public servers and with Normal Weapons.

It was always so much fun though Pink to get your mits on the deemer and aim it straight at the camping snipers
.... so satisfying

As PinkFloyd states - there were many more fun maps in UT such as Gauntlet, Dreary, Eternal Caves, Epicboy, DiamondSword, Coret, Command.
TBH Face was a gimmick map and for large maps I always prefered Lava Giant or Orbital.

Indeed.
What a tune

Just to clarify.... When I say I don't like Face.... I did like the music Then again I don't think UT99 had *any* bad music? I still have the soundtrack in my car...
CTF-Hydro16 was a good one, and always liked CTF-Ratchet from one of the bonus packs too. But I did tend to play DM and DOM more than CTF.

To be fair controlling the mid was a priority on any map, especially in 5 vs 5 NW CTF. Face was actually quite popular in the early days with it being an official map in cups many times.
I personally preferred maps like Terra or Orbital. Great game UT, played it competitively for 12 years but alas time has moved on. Interested to see what they do with this but with Clanbase gone I'm not sure what kind of reception it will actually get from people who never played the original.

Good answer Pink
I spent many an hour playing and enjoying UT3 though
so in some circles that would mean my opinion equates to negative infinity
Soldato
Still maintain that UT3 was awesome. Love the weapons in it, they're all decent! It's the only Biorifle version that feels good to use too!
Hoping the new UT has a similar feel to it that UT3 did when fully patched on good maps (ie not overcrowded with meshes), maybe a few more options for trick jumping. I played Warsow a while back, really like the boost in that!

Didn't like the shock rifle in UT3, that was my main weap in previous UT's and they messed it up badly.
