Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: Everous on February 12, 2004, 10:39:33 PM the UT2k4 demo came out yesterday...
sorry i'm a little late on this, but i had other issues... anyway, who's played? thoughts? flames? supposedly its a fusion of old and new, the style of UT2k3 with the non cluttered, streamlined gameplay of the original... Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: SS on February 13, 2004, 02:32:57 AM Yes, I've played it, and it's FUCKING EXCELLENT!
I hadn't read anywhere that called it a fusion of old & new, but it is entirely correct to say that. U2003 lost something which made UT special. UT2004 seems to have it back again. If only I had a nice fast processor to take proper advantage of the super engine. :( Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: Galmort on February 13, 2004, 02:36:42 AM I'm overwhelmed with jealousy :)
Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: SS on February 13, 2004, 02:51:11 AM :hmmm: You'll be overwhelmed with a post-drop if you continue spamming outside the temple.
Back to UT2004: Anyone tried the vehicles yet? I didn't try all the maps, but none of the ones I played had controllable vehicles. Does the demo have vehicles or not? Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: Everous on February 14, 2004, 02:33:49 PM the download is on 53%...give it another half hour...
yahoo servers seem to be the fastest to download off... Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: RipperRoo on February 14, 2004, 05:37:25 PM 32%, im getting 57kb/s off Yahoo, was getting 65kb/s off Nvidia yesterday when I tried.
Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: SS on February 14, 2004, 06:04:22 PM I got it from GamesNET which wasn't great, but not bad either.
Never used a Yahoo! server for anything. Where are they located? Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: Everous on February 14, 2004, 06:29:43 PM not a clue...
all the other servers are jam packed...and thats quite a queue there on Fileplanet :huh: just played 2-3 hours of UT2k4 (kinda lost track of time)...1.5 hours of onslaught, three rounds the vehicles handle amazingly...i love it, it hasn't lost any of the Unreal gameplay, even though the map can be huge the nodes concentrate the action to one portion of the map...it plays really tight... deathmatch is like the original Unreal again...very cool and capture the flag also...it seems that nothing's changed, but when you play it you feel that everything's changed...odd... Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: RipperRoo on February 14, 2004, 06:54:09 PM I cant get any servers up :(
Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: SS on February 14, 2004, 06:55:59 PM You've let UT2004 through your firewall I assume?
Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: RipperRoo on February 14, 2004, 08:05:45 PM Yea, they just werent showing, works now though.
That raptor is fun fun. Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: SS on February 14, 2004, 08:09:21 PM Master server was down twice when I tried it. :(
The Raptor is cool... only just realised you can press space (jump) and fly up... was wondering how the computer got so high! The Scorpian alt-attack is cool too. :D You managed to do any Daredevil stuff yet? I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing to get them. Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: RipperRoo on February 14, 2004, 09:16:28 PM Daredevil stuff?
Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: SS on February 14, 2004, 10:03:54 PM In the vehicles. I think it's some kind of stunt system, but I'm not entirely sure.
Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: Everous on February 15, 2004, 02:17:44 PM yeah, highest i've gotten is stunt level 40...
bombing it off the huge cliff on Torlan... Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: RipperRoo on February 15, 2004, 02:21:25 PM So you just do big jumps and things?
Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: Everous on February 15, 2004, 03:26:09 PM jumps, rolls, flips...
all done as fast as you can...and try not to kill yourself doing it... ;) Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: Everous on February 16, 2004, 01:41:11 PM check this out:

Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: Everous on February 17, 2004, 12:59:04 AM ooooh...stunt level 70!
some spins, in a hellbender down one of the sides of that small valley thing you get in the middle, that place is ideal for stunts...and 1 complete roll and managed to land on the wheels... i woulda taken a screenshot but i didn't know how :miffed: pressed all the F buttons but they didn't do anything... Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: SS on February 17, 2004, 01:03:54 AM Did you press the PRINT SCREEN button!? :P
Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: Everous on February 17, 2004, 02:19:40 AM well no...but that dosen't usually work in game...
...right? :o Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: SS on February 17, 2004, 04:34:26 PM Works more often then you'd think. :P
Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: FragMaster1972 on February 19, 2004, 04:34:43 AM I wanna know how people were doing those crazy stunts in that video and what their scores were--those were some pretty crazy stunts. *goes to practice driving insanity*
Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: FragMaster1972 on February 19, 2004, 09:09:21 AM eh, it wont let me edit this in, so im posting again.
w00t!! Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: RipperRoo on February 19, 2004, 12:28:52 PM We need someone to setup a server so we can all just spend an afternoon doing stunts...
Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: SS on February 19, 2004, 01:42:56 PM That'd be good.
Or we just find a fast & empty public server. :) Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: FragMaster1972 on February 19, 2004, 04:35:20 PM 24.161.125.60:7777
Game name: TGA Stunts password: tgastunt enjoy. Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: Everous on February 19, 2004, 04:38:42 PM you sir...are a god...
anyone on there though? otherwise it'd be easier just to load up an instant action game Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: FragMaster1972 on February 19, 2004, 04:43:25 PM I just parked my ass there, and I'm the only one there right now. Of course, it is private--I could set it up so it's not possible to win (remove all the link paths) and change it to a public server.
Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: RipperRoo on February 19, 2004, 05:47:32 PM Errr im there, Fraggies there, but dead....
Anyone wanna come and help I? Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: RipperRoo on February 19, 2004, 06:13:44 PM I can only get a level 40 maximum, that was just from getting a huge jump.
I cant work out how to get the damn thing to flip or roll or to get a stupidly high speed. HELP ME!!!! Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: RipperRoo on February 19, 2004, 06:20:08 PM Just got a level 60 in a hellbender.
Im really confused about this stunt system actually, I pulled off a full barrel roll in a Scorpian and didnt get anything for it, but I get a level 40 for falling off a small ridge.... Thats broken TBH. Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: RipperRoo on February 19, 2004, 06:27:25 PM Level 70!!! W00T!!!
Go up to the centre get a lot of speed, then drive off the rounded platform at the top just past the bridge, handbrake just before that to get loads of turns. Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: Everous on February 19, 2004, 06:44:13 PM i might show up about 7...dunno...
Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: SS on February 19, 2004, 08:28:23 PM Quote 24.161.125.60:7777 Cool. Is that your server? Game name: TGA Stunts password: tgastunt enjoy. Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: matt_the_shark on February 20, 2004, 01:57:57 AM yep, it is, frag's been hanging around for a while on there. meanwhile, while he was, i got my ass killed by everous :P
Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: SS on February 20, 2004, 02:08:19 AM Yeah, I was on there earlier on, trying to get some good daredevils (I failed).
Fairly high pings, but no lag at all... could hardly tell I was playing online - the way it should be. :) Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: Everous on February 20, 2004, 02:14:55 AM i got 40...
and i blew matt across the canyon with 8 mines on the back of his scorpion...i was on his team and teamkill was off...yeah he got some mad flight LOL Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: matt_the_shark on February 20, 2004, 02:27:53 AM but then we started fighting and...well...it looked like i had extreme lag issues i was so crappy :P
Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: FragMaster1972 on February 20, 2004, 03:30:39 AM arg, it went down sometime tonight. My dad went and unplugged everything because apparently the e;lectrical in the whole house went haywire.
Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: Everous on February 20, 2004, 10:17:41 AM yo we should have a big match at some point...
Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: RipperRoo on February 20, 2004, 12:17:30 PM Quote We need someone to setup a server so we can all just spend an afternoon doing stunts... Ohhh Ev, that hasnt been suggested before has it! Title: UT2k4 demo Post by: Everous on February 20, 2004, 12:24:47 PM no, like...a proper match...
