Haha, all your bandwidth are belong to Unreal! :D

I never knew that the game was that popular; but then again, I was never quite a big fan of fps games.
Btw, for those of you who managed to download the demo, how is it?

I was one of those dummies and upon completing the download I realized my 8 meg videocard wasn't enough machine to run it. Duh.

Hmm is this joyous or somewhat sad that us nerds slowed down the internet by half speed downloading a silly demo. Anyway, my PC sucks, to save money on upgrading, I'll just wait for Unreal Championship for Xbox, or better yet, hope Windows is ported to Xbox and play it on that. (Needs to buy one of those new no-solder modchips...)

Athough still Unreal, the gameplay feels more like Quake 3 than Unreal Tournament. Many people hate this, but I prefered Q3 to UT so I'm happy with it.

The double jump is just odd. I'd rather have a Tribes style jetpack.

The game looks very nice and it seems to have a very solid physics engine behind it.

Be kind to goblins.

hey, cool! i got it to work! thanks for the tip, man

the demo's pretty much what i expected from a UT2003. but wow do those voices SUCK. they sound like superheros or something. reminded me of Cyclops or Captain what's his name. at least, they say funny things. i think i heard "ownage" and something about someone being someone else's bitch. hehe, pretty neat

i like the graphical changes they did to the weapons, especially the shock rifle (one of my all-time favorite guns). it looks freakin' mean now. i love it! what i fking hate is how you can't charge the rocket launcher as much as you could before. only three charges and it shoots

in the last UT i played, it was five freakin' shots!! (haha, and the people in school said Hagen was "cheap" because he shot a crapload of rockets at them aahahaaha) and you can't charge grenades like you could before. sigh, oh well. they sorta start you off with 'nades, but i've found them to be extremely weak. blah. lemme think ........ oh yea, they might've taken out the plunger, or at least the old graphics of it. i think i saw it, but i dunno. i gotta play the game again

i never played Q3 (Quake III) but i know that whole environment (i only have Quake I). UT2003 definitely gave out the Quake vibe

neat game. if your computer can handle it, try it out! ya, the double jump is weird. they could've made it into some sort of "small jump" instead of the double one they've got. i tried to abuse it and do the second jump while i was already seconds in midair but blah didn't work. i don't see why it's gotta be double. i'm smashing my pinky finger, trying to get over rocks

I'm going to get a new videocard as soon as I have some time off. I've been swamped with work for the last three weeks. Plus Grandia Xtreme comes out this week so I'm going to have to find time to work that in.
