UT3 demo impressions

Ok, tried the UT3 demo, thought it was great fun, a bit floatier than the previous games, but pretty damn good. Anyone with another viewpoint?

Disagree with the "floaty" comment ... especially compared to 04.
Apart form that I completely agree, immense game and im looking forward to the 16th

It was ok, but I just found it too simplistic. It's just such a simple game, it has 0 depth to it. These days that just doesn't cut it IMO.

A bit floatier? Have you not played UT2003 or UT2004? :s

Its meant to be a simple game, not some overly complex single player game. Its a fast paced simple-ish pick up and play online game.

I am waiting for a proper demo that has other games modes to play, current game types in the demo aren't of interest to me. So unless the normal ctf is good in a later demo i wont be wasting my money on the game this time around, as for me this is Epics last chance to get me back.

Very fast paced, took a long time to get used to it, I like how it's less bunnyhoppy, but you can still dodge off walls and the like.

Personally, I can see myself really getting into CTF this time, I'm starting to tire of DM slightly.

Love the graphics, models and hoverboard

Wait a second, you want some depth to... Unreal Tournament?
You're joking, right?

The original UT and 2004 had some very deep game modes, levels and weapons.

And so does UT3. I think your missing the point of his post.

I know, but somehow I don't think that is quite what he was referring to in his criticism of UT3. After all, any modes present in the previous games are bound to be in the newest incarnation
