Is the UT2003 full version good? How good is it compared to the demo?

i didnt even know you could dodge till just now

Hell yes, dodging is a great addition to the genre. The dodge jump that is in it now kicks even more ass. Right when you dodge hit jump and you'll do a huge side step, like double the normal dodge.

I don't use the forward dodge a lot, but back/left/right I use almost constantly.

if you don't dodge, you are frag bait. u must dodge in this game. once u get used to it, u will wish u can dodge in every game.

is that what strafing is for?

I rather strafe because the dodging doesn't move you to the right or left all that much. Strafing is much more useful avoiding rockets. To clarify, dodging is when you double tap the left or right movement keys, right?

yeah...except it also works forwards and backwards. My main issue is that when I move around I circle strafe a lot (like around corners) Sometimes I forget about dodging and accidentally double tap without realizing it. I had a perfect flag capture lined up on a map tonight which I RUINED by dodging straight into a pit of lava and losing the flag.

i know what you're talking about. I'm sniping at the top of the tower in the Citadel when all of a sudden, i'll be flying off the edge and cratering. It too me a while to figure that one out.

what's really cool is when your adrenaline is at 100, you can double tap for super Speed. I also double tap the jump for an extra boost to avoid rocket fire.
