|
|
|
Unreal Tournament 3 has been released in Germany last Monday. The release date for Europe is the 22nd of November. (And 19th of November for North America.)
One of our German players, Cobra, was kind enough to provide me with some screenshots of UT3 as well as some input regarding the game itself.
So, how does the game compares with UT?
General feeling
The general feeling of UT3 ressembles a lot more to UT than to UT 200x. Movements are pretty much like in UT, with some extras like the double-jump and the wall-dodge. The dodge-jump from UT 200x has been removed.
Dodging against a ramp seems to behave like in UT. So that would be a good news for BT fans out there.
Taunting is also inspired from UT - and you can wave again!
The issues that bothers me the most (and should bother also a lot of UT players) is the model scaling problem. Models are small in UT3. They are actually smaller than their hitbox. Also, a player would be able to shoot without being seen - as his head would be too much below the eye-line and top of hitbox. That problem has been discussed here for quite a while now. It is unfortunate that Epic didn't fix this. Here is how models look:
Update: This is going to be fixed in the first patch.
Maps remakes
3 maps have been remade from UT to UT3: Coret, Hydro16 (as Hydrosis) and Deck.
CTF-Coret:
CTF-Hydrosis:
DM-Deck:
Conclusion
Unreal Tournament 3 should be considered by many the expected sequel of UT. Some of the issues like the model scale or the user interface can hopefully be fixed in an upcoming patch.
i4Games will most certainly host a couple of UT3 servers as soon as the Linux dedicated server is available.
So, stay tuned!

may i add that the german release has no blood or gibs due to legal reason in germany ive seen the german one availiable for dload but id rather wait for the english version with blood also if you want to use the instagib in the demo in instant action type this in console in game
giveweapon utgame.utweap_instagibrifle
that will unlock it
enjoy
ive been playing alot of the demo and i thinks its the best UT yet with similar play to UT99 and im looking forward to iCTF with UT3 gonna be awsome

Downloading full German version xD
6,6 GB
(srry but i never bought a game )
Also got a hint (not tested ):
In the demo you can copy the INT map (Unreal Tournament 3 Demo\UTGame\Localization\INT)
and replace it in the full version...
Tadaa!!
You've got the English Version of UT3 xD
