"Yeah, there is invincibility. I think it's on the map "Fearless" (whatever the one with the statue of the guy is). The whole map is actually built around it. When it spawns in the lighting and music all change. I don't think it's in any other map"


You know, I've played on fearless and I've noticed some crazy bloom out of nowhere (music disabled), but never noticed anyone invincible. *shrug*

Fearless, AFAIK, is like underground and dark and crap. I'd have to load up UT3 to check.

i've definately had an invincibility power up. it was on that double layer map, with the lower moat with few weapons and the high ring with the goo, flak and other stuff. can't remember the name. might have been fearless. is the statue by the rocket launcher (which is at the bottom of a flight of stairs). i grabbed it from the middle.

 

[plagiarize]

hahaha... awesome.

 

[dralla]

the invulnerability is on Fearless

 

[Teknopathetic]

Yup. Ridiculously subdued in comparison to U damage or Invisibility where you can clearly hear the pickup itself and people with it on.

 

[MoxManiac]

Man, they really powered up the link gun or is it just me? seems like it doesn't take many shots to take someone down with it now.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Link Gun primary could always kill people in a few hits. However they've sped up the projectile speed and RoF so that's probably why you're being more successful with it.

 

[plagiarize]

the link gun is awesome now. nothing says 'i just killed everyone on your team' like the link gun. i do prefer using the stinger alt fire though. it's not quite as fast, but it's so fun pinning people to walls, and the shots do knock your enemies about a bit.

dralla, have you broken the top 100 at all yet? you must have done right?

congrats

played a few games with Gattsu and Dark. i sucked badly in the first couple after dark joined. there's still a couple of maps i'm noticably much weaker at than the others (Shangri La and the one with the sewers and the long tunnels)... but then there's a few maps that i'm really comfortable on. Arsenal, Sanctuary, Rising Sun and Heat Ray seem to be the ones i perform best on.

Heat Ray kind of surprises me. it's the more open maps where i seem to do badly, but that one is really open and i'm really rather comfortable on it. generally the tighter an area the better... for me at least.

hopefully we can get some of us together on the same team for some CTF. i've only played a little with Gattsu and i'd love to play some more.

 

[bluheim]

DO.
WANT.

I've been doing some digging trying to get to the bottom of the shit performance I'm getting...and it seems to be something inherent in alot of the epic maps. The custom maps I've downloaded I can all lock at 60fps at 1680x1050 with max details...while the epic maps run like absolute dogshit. It seems to be a common problem as there is a huge thread about it at the epic boards...some people with monster rigs are running at horrendous framerates while some with modest computers are locked at 60. Very weird.

Any way, I downloaded a map pack with some early custom maps...some of them are actually quite good. All of them run ENORMOUSLY better than the official epic maps do on my computer also. Heres a few shots...

This one should look a bit familiar to a few people

Theres another Q3 map thats in there too, but it looks like absolute shit so I didn't take a pic.

Anway, the pack can be downloaded (PC version...don't know of any PS3 version) here...

OMG! Those look cool, I hope some of these make it over to the PS3!

 

[Teknopathetic]

Dude, Whoa, we need to have a GAF DM session on QDM17.

Indeed. Monday? I'm done finals then and I really can't spend much time not studying until then.

Once the "export to PS3" function works I'm sure it'll be ported (hell I'll try and port it if it's not...assuming I do just have to hit a button).

 

[Teknopathetic]

Monday sounds nice.

 

[Yoshichan]

DM17! I JUST SAW DM17!

 

[dralla]

oh my shit. someone needs to get DM17 on PS3 right fucking now

and here's my megakill from last game :]
http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=8bqlbol&s=1

first time playing that map and I think it's the best CTF map in the game. I like the 2 brigdes you can jump across, and all the small windows you can use the translocator in

 

[GottiDC]

anyone notice that there allot of people online for this game to be only out for 5 days on psn.
do you think this game sold more than 150k in its fisrt week i think so there are so many severs, with lots of peopl in them, more than the people who play it on pc!!!!!

 

[OverHeat]

OMG!

PS3 version

 

[Metalmurphy]

OMG!

PS3 version

OH

Not monday.

 

[WHOAguitarninja]

Tuesday? I'm pretty much good anytime after tommorow (not including tommorow) as my exam is first thing in the morning. Tuesday or wednesday would have to probably be the late evening as I'll be heading back home one of those days and won't have my computer hooked up until that evening.

BTW. I should say that the map here feels smaller than it did in Q3. May be my imagination, but I was playing with 5 bots and it was a mad house.

Tuesday night at 9ish est?

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

I guess it's official, I can not fucking play first person shooters with thumbstick controls anymore. I can't track targets worth shit, and neither inverted nor normal aiming feel natural. This is just fucking sad. I guess I'll be forced to hook up the keyboard and mouse after all. :/

Maybe it will get better? If not, that's terrible man. Sorry to hear it.

 

[donkey show]

Yeah, this game is fucking pretty on my DLP. So glad I got it.

Anyway, I'm down for that Monday night GAF game. My PSN is gevurah22

 

[Bebpo]

Monday night PST sounds good to me. I finish up finals Monday ~5pm PST.

When are we doing PS3 night?

Yeah... you know it's trouble when you find yourself yelling "he's right there, kill him!" to yourself. But instead of the usual smooth tracking and elimination, my aim goes either straight into the ground or up in the sky, and then I'm dead. I'm sure it looks hilarious to spectators.

Heh, sounds like me and CoD4. I'm sure people get a good laugh at the kill cam when i manage to kill them by shooting their feet.

Keyboard+mouse support is so refreshing. I've never been able to use a pad at all for this genre.

If KB&M players want to use it on the console with almost native like support get XFPS+XIM (or anything that is pc compatible), a little expensive but it you will never bitch about control choices again.

 

[dralla]

Wow. I have only tried Avalanche and I love Warfare already. Sooo good. Hopping on now.

what you need to do is find a good host, send him a FR. I found these SIN guys, they always host, very stable with minimal lag. I added them to my list and I always have games to join

I would just keep playing. You should be able to rebuild your skills. UT3 and Resistance are probably too fast paced for proper reacclimation though.

What is XFPS+XIM? Is that hardware?

 

[rollingstart]

I just noticed the reason im crashing so much is because im playing in the midway_70 server, everything else seems fine, but that one server is f'ed up.

also, playing defense in either CTF or Warfare is REALLY HARD.

 

[Firewire]

OMG! Some of the matches tonight were sick! VCTF is nuts!

 

[rollingstart]

I havent got many kills with the bail out jeep, but with that floating bike thing ive gotten so many.

the best in a recent game was doing into the blue core and winning the game.

 

[Firewire]

thats awesome! how many kills did you get on it?

 

[Aeon712]

Freaking work and Resistance <3, has kept top only playing Unreal for I think about 6hrs. Next time I'll be free to really play is Tuesday .

 

[DeadlySchnauzer]

Couldnt find this posted anywhere in this thread, but NPD has the sales for PC UT3 at 33,995 since launch.

holy fuck the campaign is boring. is there a code to unlock all the characters? I entered Phayder and Jihan and got 2 of them, what about the rest

 

[Ikuu]

If you're on PC, just open console and type unlockallchars

 

[DIrtyWeasel]

I agree, from what I played of the campaign it is pretty bad. I think I just had hope for a Gears of War type singeplayer mode, but instead we got multiplayer modes against bots. Oh well, I bought this game for the online multiplayer anyway.
