"return of the worlds premiere first person shooter" If they use "returning" and "all new" is that not an oxymoron? I like ONS. I like killing people with hellbender on ONS. I had I nice little Hellbender game yesterday with Tek. I got alot of hostility out. It helped that Tek was having technical problems. I hate new UT3 hellbender cause it was designed by IDIOTS. Don't have the art department call the shots. I am tired of hearing "Look at the graphics, it is so beauuuuuutiifullll". Think in the real work and use common sense Midway. New Hellbender in nutshell: When I am fired at I really love the slow response, clunky moving, smog belching ut3 hellbender. The ut2004 moves when I step on the gas and no virtual EPA fines for pollution. Tall ut3 hellbenders has a higher profile. You can see and hit it more easily which is a step backward in military vehicle design. If center of gravity higher, how will driving up a hill be? Driving Miss Daisy terrain only? Maybe we should tell Midway to post some warning signs for hellbender drivers on different terrain maps. Also include a list on how many hits are necessary with twin beam to take a vehicle down. Don't skimp on the zeros after the first number posted. I know it takes like 10 shots to kill a manta. Doing the math, 40 should bring down a tank. Killing a tank goes from 3 hits in ut2004 to 40 in ut3. Lovely. Zoom is alot weaker. What are the other games you guys are playing? Any hellbender type vehicles on them? ut3 is going to make me have a "schizophrenic fit". I will truly go MAD......

I really REALLY need to kill something with hellbender rear turret...................

Had to jump back onto ut2004. Hellbending cold turkey too much for me. Was wailing on some guys on a pub server. Never saw my helbender. UT3 I got my hellbender killed in a dual with me in twin beam and guy stationary on foot. Twin beam a tad underpowered. Will try a little more ut3 but I feel I am moving in slow motion compared to ut2004. This is coming from the least dodge capable gc player.

Anyone know where the user.ini file is in UT3? Makes my nostromo setup easier with mouse. Only got on deathmatch a few minutes still trying to configure game with my nostromo and mouse.

In software installation, I am kind of dumb I did unzip with zip7 then I selected the rar files and extracted all of them further. I got demo installer then. Game is running but got to programmed nostromo to new input keys. Haven't had chance to check vehicles.

Have been unable to figure out "unrar the rars unpar the pars" so haven't played yet. From what Penty mentioned with hellbender and other vehicle nerrage for ONS, a sniper like me won't be buying it either. Twin beams gone, lg gone, huge manta, limited tank spash damage. Do epic guys understanding build adding onto a game does not involve cutting pieces out? True, it will look beautiful to play (from pictures and videos) but I can always go to a museum for beauty. I like to kill things from a distance period. I like ONS and really only game I play.

Downloaded after an hour Unzipped it Now what? No installer listed. Any ideas guys?

Sad to see this end. Only played ut2004 two years so newbie of group. But when one door closes, another opens. Looking forward to flitter's comment on hellbender improvements. Manta nerfed. Bad for flitter and bush. Barely could kill you guys with it. If Hellbender in the ++ Flitter critiqued, I am gonna have FUN!!!!!!.

My system crashed last night. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Needless to say, I could not play. Tried installing again and would not work. Got it working again and plan to play tonight. Hope you guys have some game playing left.

I will second that.

Heh. Rock, Paper, Scissors? I won't be using a rock, paper, or scissors in my tactics. You will just have to find out. When will you be playing next?

I was glad to so so many gc guys on last night. We even had one game where on side was entirely composed of gc. One one but lost the others. I noticed some serious screen ghosting. Wonder if me, or trouble communicating with server. OH well will be playing more since last call is coming. Got to kill Dingy some more. Got to use my new tactics on him.

I love my tank. Especially more so when Pat is in a bender! Freon is fun as a change of pace, but I still like ONS! I enjoyed Freon better than last time. I got my rear end shot off so much it was silly. I was up against Bush, Wentz, and Flitter. Two on two. Was the definite weak link. Not good at close infighting. Last map on Freon was a joy last night. All distance shooting where my sniping mentality was of use. Still like ONS. Have some new Anti Dingy in Tank strategies I would like to try before UT3 change over.

Almost had a heart attack. Temps running at 65 degrees on your systems. My system unexpectedly shut down when I went to check temp. When got it up was over 100 degrees. Another heart palpatation then switched from F to C. Around 36-37 C. Had to reinstall OS and computer seems sluggish in loading software like ut2004. It could be my perception. Think I need to reinstall UT2004. Think I will get a cooler so I can overclock to Dark standards.

I could have use my old system with the specs they mentioned. Build new computer to play this game. 2.4 Dual GHz (need to oc with better cooler) 2 GB Ram 8800 GTS oc 2 hard drives I AM GONNA HAVE FUN.

Normally don't use rocket laucher.... BUT I WILL NOW HA HA HA HAAAAAAAH.......

What is freon? I don't know how to find my buddies with buddies list. I was thinking everyone was building computers to play ut3. With unclean I was right, but I bet a few more are doing it also.

Been on last few days but tonight, and no one was on Nepenthe. Is work getting that bad for everyone? I know we have a lot of teacher types but even we need a break. SCK was even running at 190 ping for me, and Dark would not stay on it. I can understand cause the action was so delayed. I killed dark with a manta strafing. It had taken about 1 1/2 minutes for me to do it and everyone on GC knows I can never kill one of you guys with manta when you see me coming. Even with SCK disfunctional no one was on Nepenthe.

Stereo allows for you to hear in which direction? Just look around left or right for danger? Guys, I am using FOV 80. I have tunnel vision so my targets are just large enough that I can hit you guys. I don't see left or right. If I can get my stereo headphones to work it will save me alot of problems. P.S. I will fire at half -3/4 charge when targeting your manta Dark from now on. P.S.S What I Learned #11 Don't fire on Dingy's Goliath with Helbender. You give away Helbender position, he kills you "priceless".

To hear dark coming..... You expect to hear him........ He walked up behind me a few times as I was polishing off some fellow and blew me away. What we really need is a "spidey sense" to deal with that. Make my helbending pretty sick.

You won't be dissapointed

From my personal experience, you guys are pretty sick with manta already (except Dingy, he prefers tanks to kill me with)

So it is not the kill that counts, it is the effort in torture you impose on another player before he dies. I myself just want to frag you. Helbender twinbeam, lightning gun to head, redeemer, etc I don't care as long as you go down but due to respawning happy outcome is short lived for me.

I got pulled into my first game of Instagib CTF by Bushwack. WOW. People flying through the air, shots flying all over the place, and your body explodes into little chunks (thanks to my 8800 gtx). Game was so fast that when I went back to Onslaught, I thought I was stuck in molasses. I found it easier to shoot people when map were open, but the enclosed ones Bushwack and others were flying all around me. I got killed everytime I tried to grab a flag but got highest team kill/death ratio when acting as sniper. Dodging is important to get from place to place. I was lost moving on maps. A few times I went for flag was when I "stumbled" into the room with the flag. Wall dodging is a necessity and you can cover real far distances with secondary jump while still in the air. Only problem you direction is fixed and more easy to target. I am going to do this again. Only 40 days left, and fell in love with UT2004 all over again.

I have the MX518 and I love it. A ton of buttons (8) and easy to program without looking like an escapee from mad science lab. The scroll wheel has a push button for my flak and shocker. The side buttons programmed for my Mini (anti gc player preferred weapon for Wentz, Dark, Flitter, Tek, etc) and rockets/avril. I use an extra large mousepad to improve my distance shooting and not have mouse leave mousepad with a 600 dpi setting.
