Unreal Championship Rumor

**Huckleberry** · 03-15-2002

i imagine the developers must have listened to a lot of halo player's input on how they could make this game better. after reading the article, it seems like they've addressed quite a few of the complaints i've had or have read about here.

brev, that would be awesome if they made this so 4+ teams could play...especially if this is capable of 32 players. i'd much rather have 4 eight person teams than 2 sixteen player teams.

i have to say, after reading the article, unreal has climbed past project ego to become my most anticipated game for 02!

Hey man.. wanna trade for Halo then? hehehe.. if you ain't playing.. I've got PGR or DoA3 for it.. we're both from Ottawa so at least we won't get scammed..

I dont think they listened to halo players at all

Infrogames have been making great FPS for quite some time and the unreal series covers all your multiplayer needs. Halo only having the abilty to have 2 teams was more of a mistake or lack of time.

B/4 Halo my #1 FPS was Perfect Dark. I loved all those states it kept up with over time. I always have wished the same thing were in Halo,,,(most of all melee, one shot head kills) (I will do anything 4 those, and nothing gets me more pumped) Anyway ya global states will rock.

Wow!!! I'm loving this! So, it appears that the game will have a mode similar to the "campaign" mode on Halo...and, the further you are on that, the more weapons you uncover as you go along and can use those in multi-player! How ingenious!!! I hope they launch this game a couple weeks before it goes on-line so we can build our arsenals!

For starters, Max i'll send over some Depends.......

I agree with Max, this is a fresh and new change to a game thats been around for some time. Max, i'll be looking for the charecter with the diaper on, when we go on-line..........LOL

I didn't get the impression that the "building your aresenal" bit was part of the multiplayer functioning. That really would mean that those that got the game first would be the best and would take out anyone who was new to the game based not on skill, but how long they've played.

That's not really fair, and complaints would abound.

But maybe I'm wrong....

**shererboat** · 03-15-2002

i think this would be more of a plus than a negative.....

this way u would pretty much half to beat most single player modes to get a good arsenal, b4 u went on line to play multiplayer....

this would def could clear the area of alot of newbs that just jump online b4 theyre a bit good at the game.......

You know, that is an excellent question! I'm not sure...I have also thought about that, too. Though, I don't "hate" Halo for not having that, and I don't think you truly do either, but, it would have been nice to have this in addition to Halo's multi-player. That definately could make things even more interesting!

I agree...but, personally, while I am competing, the last thing I will care or be concerned about is how much my opponent has built up their arsenal

For me, I'm getting this game the second it is released! Too bad for the late comers as they will see the ass end of my Rocket Launcher!

**shererboat** · 03-15-2002

true max!!!.....but unlike halo, they wont just be eating one rocket at a time, they may be at the s4it end of 10!!!!!

Exactly...we want only hardcore Unreal Championship gamers playing on-line...the newbies that come on that aren't intelligent enough to build up their arsenal will slowly diminish or get better....so, this way there will always be a challenge! I want to play against hardcore Unreal gamers! Not half assed idiots that think it's fun getting blown up by Maximus!

I don't think it's right to tell someone that PAID MONEY just like everyone else for the game that they aren't going to be able to use the full capabilities of the game they purchased because 1. They didn't get it as soon as it came out and 2. They aren't as good as those that did.

I say that if the "pro gamers" want to make sure that they're not having to play against newbies, a premium service should be offered that you can only get in based on your progression AS WELL AS the current system of everyone can get in.

Don't get me wrong. I'd much rather be playing with the likes of yall than a bunch of people that just started. But remember that that this isn't like a professional sporting association. This is more like T-Ball, where everyone gets to play for and ONLY for the sake of having fun. Not everyone wants to put in the time to become a FPS god only to be slaughtered by them. In my opinion, that can take down the entire game.

I completely understand your reasoning...and I agree. Keep in mind that there will be several different bouts that people can make while on-line. They could have a newbie forum and so on. So, no worries there

But, I was speaking as a competitor...and, yes, I agree 100% that it's all about fun!! You bet! I'm simply saying that the last thing I am concerned about is someone else's arsenal... Let's say I just started and I am battling against others that have built an impressive arsenal of weapons and so on.... To me, this motivates me to get the weapons I need to be more competitive! So, while I am playing agianst bots and the like and gaining more skill and weaponry, I can apply those things while going back on-line and hunting down the people that originally got me motivated to do so!

You see, this is what fun is to me

Personally, I am a huge fan of games that give me a challenge...and you probably are, too! The thing is, I want to get this game the moment it comes out...and if any opponent crosses my path, I'm going to put up a good fight regardless of what their arsenal is that they managed to build up! I find this to be ingenious!!!

**Toder** · 03-15-2002

Personally i think this is truely awesome th eway they have everything set up n this game. First of all the whole weapons schemem sounds totally great. i've always felt it was best to beat a game first before going online and trying to go at with a bunch of people.

What else i like about this game is the ability of it being able to calibrate your controller automaticlly with you having no tto adjust anything because the game is measures everything you do and then calibrates the controller for you so it will be customized foro your use.

Well withg all the new weapons with this game i will still have to stay with some personally favorites if they still have them. How can for get the flak cannon that you could shoot down those nukes or rockets with. Or the bio hazard gun cause of you were not careful you would kill yourself. But still my fav is the doulbe pistols which i will kill you with Maximous.

I heard that in Unreal Championship, you won't be able to pick up weapons. Only ammo.

The only weapons youll have in your inventory will be those that you have earned in single player mode. Therefore, your ability in multiplayer will depend on how well you did in signle player.

So is it true that you'll only be able to use weapons that you earned in single player.. in multiplayer????

if that does happen i won't be buying that game..
i love unreal tournament. 10/10
