Cool. I might have a chance against the bots then.

Assimilator1 · Sep 18, 2002

Confused · Sep 18, 2002

OK just seen mech (again) and Assim1 in there

Mech as usual kicking some serious ass, i came second in that last full round i played

Best be off to bed now as gotta go to work in the morning!

OK, I'm pretty green at this game too. How do you tell the difference between a bot and a real player. It was obvious like when I saw MechBgon, Engineer etc but what about names I don't know like I saw Prism and Natron for example. Is there a list of the Bot names or something?

Wolfie · Sep 18, 2002

Maybe I am the only one that remembers how mech plays. He's damn good. He spent a LOT of time playing UT before. It was almost an addiction. Oh wait, I bet he's addicted again.

Glad to hear some of you are having a lot of fun playing. When and if my finatial status gets better I hope to build a new machine so I can at least enjoy some of the new games out there.
Oh well...

I remembered how mech plays, and he happened to be my first and only frag in the first game I connected to.

Now if I could keep the thing from crashing after 4 minutes.. grrr.. :disgust:

I remember a time when I could actually keep up with Mech.

It was, oh, probably about the first week or so, then he got serious and was WAY out of my league.

But the worst butt fragging I ever had was at the hands, er rather rockets of Lord_Demios. I earned the most deaths in a single game with rockets stat in that game. :Q And that stat stood for a long, long time.

Too bad I don't see him around these parts much anymore.

mechBgon · Sep 18, 2002

Dave: you can usually tell the bots by their incredible prescience. They must eat a lot of carrots, because they ALWAYS spot you first

They're also the ones with zero ping when you press the F1 key to check who's got what ping. It's also a safe bet that if an opponent crouches to fire, it's a bot.

Wolfie: I can stop any time I feel like!

And I am not that good at actual fighting... even with shields and good health points I often lose in up-close fights (just ask ys).

edit: we should have someone host a no-bots server, and play Follow The Leader with the Translocator. The Translocator is your friend! :Q

networkman · Sep 18, 2002

Okay, I give up. :|

I've updated every driver for every device to the recommendeds for each and made sure the OS is patched current. I've even used "PowerStrip" to under-clock the video card to its lowest settings and the game still GPFs. This is the only game I've got that's crashing. :disgust:

Oh well.. like my parents always said: You get what you pay for.

muttley · Sep 18, 2002

Finally I won one and just because EvilWobbles quits. <joke>

EvilWobbles · Sep 19, 2002

Muttley,

Was that you in there last night? I had no idea who "Player" was! You might want to change your name

Sorry I had to drop out like that but had to get some shut-eye...

Thanks again for hosting the server, I should be dropping in again tonight for a little fraggin'!

muttley · Sep 19, 2002

I thought I had the name change in there but must not have
its fixed now.

muttley

ColinP · Sep 19, 2002

Had a varied game last night against mechBgon, the variety being in all the different ways he killed me.......

I'll be back...

Strange thing though, I could see things like "Bingo was shredded by mechBgon" and stuff like that, but when he typed stuff to me, he came up as player1....

dmcowen674 · Sep 19, 2002

Thanks on the Info Mech. Yes there were a lot of the 0 ping bots then.

I like the idea of no bots, then it is as real as it gets for Virtual. Hmmm sounds like a Yogi Berra kind of thing.

I was in for a few games last night as Gimpy at one point there were 3 players named player

The last game EvilWobbles and I tied for the # of frags and # of deaths, so I thought I was doing pretty good

, until I saw that I had a ping of 192 and Evil had a ping of 800. :Q

And Tetsuoe(sp) kicked all our butts. :Q

I had turned down the all of the eyecandy, so it was much better, there was only once I got hung up and started repeating the same set of frames, then I got thrown way back to where I had been, but after that it seemed to smooth out some.

OvErHeAtInG · Sep 19, 2002

Anyway I provided some good cannon fodder last night to some people... Played "Instant action" for awhile and thought I was an expert, then jumped on the server and got my @$$ kicked.

Cranked up my FSB to 145 and played fine for like an hour... then closed the game, started up my SETI again and the thing hung after 30 min.. go figure.

Man my ping sux (300-400)... where's your server muttley? I'm in Chicago

Edit -- BTW thanks a ton muttley for hosting the server... will be back tonite !

Tetsuo316 · Sep 19, 2002

i don't know what you guys are talking about...

kicking everyone's butts...

i've never played a first person shooter before in my life...

nope, not me...

uh...

ok, maybe ONCE.

btw, Ray, i didn't know that was you in there last night. everyone else's handle is the same form AT. you too good for it or something?

this game is too fun. my personal life is suffering. oh well, i'm going back in.

No, I started using Gimpy way back when the UnrealTournement Demo came out and we started playing it online. I felt that it reflected my dodging and strafeing capabilities. Now more than ever.....

And if you are a first timer, then I'm 29.

Just remember, Gimpy=Ray=Rowdy Ray=Old Geezer=Old man with cane....it all fits.

It's probably a good thing that I can't get UT2003 to work on my laptop at work.......

Engineer · Sep 19, 2002

All your FRAG are belong to us! :Q....Buwhahahahahahaha!

Well, I'm hooked! :Q...but I'm still very green since I have NEVER played UT....as a matter of fact, the last game even close was the original Quake!

I did get to actually put mechBgon on the ground once or twice last night...so the kill ratio is about 10 to 1 (mech to me) now!

Several people there just tore me a new one though...I just don't know all the weapons yet...and move either....and I'm trying to feel my way around. I guess just blast the H@ll out of everything and keep on going!

:Q

more...more...more!

Will sneak back later this evening or tonight!

Assimilator1 · Sep 19, 2002

This is gonna sound repetitive but MechB kicked my arse too!

,I did kill him about 3 times I think

Confused I did a little better with but not much!

On top of getting my butt kicked I thought my mouse was going to die as the low battery light was on,it lasted out though

And the sooner I learn the weapons all over again the better!.

I'm going have another game in a bit ,say about 1/2hr

[update]
I'm just about to install the patch & then I'm in

EvilWobbles · Sep 19, 2002

I noticed that my ping was really high at times last night.

Is there anything I can do to lower that? Most of my UT play has been at LAN parties where ping rate isn't an issue.

My Internet connection is a 768/128K DSL line. I'm willing to do some tweaking if that will help!

RaySun2Be · Sep 19, 2002

I tell ya, this reminds me so much of when the UnrealTournament demo came out, and we setup a Team Anandtech server. Oh man, the fun we had. We used to pop on to the #anandtech on IIRC, see who was on, see who was up for a game, go frag each other for awhile, then pop back into IRC to boast and brag.

I guess it's time to pull out my old theme song:

*ahem*

[start disco music]
Ah, That's the way uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
Crack a few blocks, frag a few friends, get down tonight, get down tonight.... oh yeah
Crack a few blocks, frag a few friends, get down tonight, get down tonight....
[/end disco music]

Assimilator1 · Sep 19, 2002

Ray
I remember that too

,though I only joined in a hand ful of times.

Btw I've just done the benchmark @ 1024x768 ,I get

53.1 FPS Flyby
32.8 FPS Botmatch

That's with my XP1500 @ 1578MHz & my GTS2 32Mb o/ced to 230/385 (from 200/333)
Seems my GTS2 is only just cutting it!:Q

Anyway ,time for gaming

Confused
Damn you got a fast rig!:Q ,what Vid card have you got?
