UT 2007 concerns

Supercow · 20 Sep 2006 at 09:40

After reading more about the game again on gamespot, I felt rather concerned about the new "more realistic mavity".
They mention "advance manueveres" more experienced players can pull off.
They felt that new players didn't stand a chance, and didnt even know where they were beeing shot from.
This kinda bugs me to be honest, and it's kinda worrying that it's getting dumbed down.

Does anyone have any more info or opinions on this?

Games get dumbed down so that all players can play and be masters in 10 minutes killing off any sort of achievement.

That's my point, they are "levelling the playing fields" so the new players stand more of a chance, which is rubbish imo. Why should someone whos just picking it up be even able to kill an experienced player.
They can make dedicated "New to the game" servers/new lobby systems if they wanna do that, and you can choose your own playing field.

cos if you go on line to play and just keep getting wasted by people who sit and play it all day

IMO those people have earned their right to pwn. So like i say, if your new to the game, go play other newcomers, not the guys who play all day long.

being killed by people who have leared a "trick" that lets you kill people without them knowing where from etc is not skills.
its akin to new players in CS picking up an AWP and camping one good spot where no-one can see them.
its not big, its not smart and its not earned.
real skill is knowing how to play as a team, how to bait the other players into traps, how to guard your base and capture the objective without the other team even knowing you're there.

Dont post if you have never played the game before

And Nutrition: Im playing again, so I'm up for it anytime!

Personally I think that as more and more people are getting into multiplayer gaming, the emphasis will shift more towards the casual, dumbed-down side of things. At the end of the day, devs/publishers want to sell games, they don't really care if games are shallow....

Added to the fact the game will be out for the console aswell, and I get the sad feeling inside that that might just be the case.
Time will tell of course.

most of the people playing UT2k4 find it easier to hit Bunny Hoppers, it just makes you laugh on voice comms....
they should bring out a no vehicles game with just TDM and CTF now, and when they've finished fiddling with all the vehicles either put out a massive patch or an add on pack.

Quoted for truth ... and quoted for a brilliant idea
