Good god.

1.2 million downloads in 5 days... but how many will actually buy it?

 

[Kipper]

Demo was decent, but not THAT great...I don't think this will be a game that I'll buy.

 

[ViRGE]

Considering the original UT had less downloads but sold more(2 mil I think it did), I'd say more than 1.2 million for sure.

i added to it

Am I the only one who thinks it's not all that great? I don't think the graphics are that much better than UT, and the game play isn't any better, IMO.

Maybe the graphics will be turned up a notch or two when the real game comes out?

yes

Yah I don't think it's very good either. It looks okay and all but I don't like the gameplay. I'm not gonna buy it. Having much more fun with BF1942.

But, wow, I seen that yesterday, holy f*ck! In half!!!

 

[ViperXX]

It reminds me of Quake 3, which by the way I didn't buy. Hmmmm

The demo's textures weren't the full/real textures you'll see in the real thing. With that said, you better not be joking around with anything less than a GF3 either.

 

[fluxquantum]

yeah ut2003 isn't all that. i probably won't purchase this game either. i am more of a medal of honor fan.

 

[fatbaby]

The gameplay isn't significantly different from UT, I was expecting something to make me sh!t in my pants, unfortunately all ut2003 is just graphics, double jumping, and adrenaline, not enough to justify $40 (until they come out with that l33t CS mod )

 

[neomits]

WOW!

I agree the graphics were REALLY hyped and i got it and i was greatly disappointed and gameplay is boring.

Not to mention that it'll cost me $300 cdn for a good enough card. My GF2 just don't cut it anymore for new games. Still plays CS at 1600x1200 full aniso at 90 fps though

Won't be as bad. I was reading my brand new PC Gamer (whilst dropping the kids off at the pool) and they had an interview with Carmack stating multiplayer is only going to support up to 4 vs. 4 play with an emphasis on 1 vs. 1.

You guys who weren't floored by UT2k3, I'm not saying you should've been, but tell us what you really expected and if it were possible nowadays (code-wise) without alienating everyone who didn't have at least a GF4.

I think the game is pretty lame when you compare it to the first UT. The first UT was funny, entertaining, somewhat believable and it was no where near as hard core as 2003 is. It's nothing more than Quake 3 on crack for the most part, the character models have to be the worst part overall.

 

[ElFenix]

whats different about the gameplay?

 

[rh71]

Weapons are a little off-balance with rockets kicking too much a$s. Flak does hardly anything unless you hit the guy straight on with the full load. Movement feels a lot "tighter" but the dodge/double-jump can get your a$s far and fast. Adrenaline adds the "relics" features from UT... which is actually very cool. Doesn't last too long, and that's great for gameplay. There's a lot more strategy because of all this. All in all, it's still a very fun game... unless you are a hardcore FPS'er and get real picky.

I still present to the naysayers, my question from my previous post.
