Ut 2004

[Ghryphen]

Anyone going to get this game? I have a gift card to CompUSA, probably going to spend it on that.

[Gambit]

I got it.

[Maz]

a few people over at Soup got it, I'm debating about it

[Torque]

I'm going to get it. Have you all thought about onslaught? I think it would be an excellent team game. The only thing it doesn't have is jets. but the vehicles more than make up for it. Makes me want to join a team for this game until T::V comes out?

Does anyone have any input on maps? Are they good?

[Maz]

a little easter egg

[Aluscia]

I'm seriously thinking of picking it up, dependant one how many of us THZers get it.

[Stang]

If I know people will play it I will play it too :D.

Be great to play with you guys that I havent played in a long time, Im there :D.

[Maz]

thats the only reason why I wanna get it, to play with you guys again

[Stang]

Well looks like we all want to play together again, awesome! Good ol days just in a new game :).

[Aluscia]

I'll pick it up when I get paid, or when I figure out how much money I don't have. :\

[Ghryphen]

I bought it today.

[Aluscia]

let me know what it's like, gryph... If it's really sweet, and you think you and Stang will be playing it, I'll find the money somehow.

[Maz]

I played it yesterday, the game is awsome, it's worth your money, it's only 40$ cdn

[Stang]

Now he has to return it cuz the cd was scratched, DOH!

He also got the DVD addition that everyone was talking about that they couldnt get. I guess thats all they had at CompUsa.

[Nilk]

I've got it, and its everything, the hype claims, and possibly more addictive :D

[Torque]

I bought it.

[Aluscia]

Good old EB... I sold my old, unplayed games and picked up UT2K4 and KOTOR....

[Stang]

:redbounce

[Gambit]

KotOR = VERY GOOD!
UT2k4 = fun.

[KitZune]

I'm picking up UT2k4 now... I was a huge UT2k3 fan...
Maybe we'll all be playing together again soon...

[Ghryphen]

I've been on a bit, I haven't seen all these people who say they have the game yet. :p My buddylist just has clan tags in it, maybe people aren't playing with them on.

[Torque]

I haven't seen anyone other than an occasional SOB :s0002:

I have THZ* as a buddy list. I guess I need to add *XMEN*. I'm on as THZTorque unless I need to make it THZ*Torque?? Just now starting to play it.

[Ghryphen]

The official tag is THZ*Torque

[KitZune]

I ALWAYS wear my tags... I just got the game and me and Laur played together tonight.

[Nilk]

add BT_ :P i play under InPsyte, in ut2k4

[Ghryphen]

Ok, I will add BT_*

who is BT?

[Nilk]

The Black Talons, my old MW4 team, they're still strong into mw4(unlike me), we've got a ut2k4 chapter starting up(slowly but we have forward momentum)
we also have online D&D3, and dominions2 :D
hmmm do you think thz** would work better, to find you guys? I never see you on :(

[Stang]

*pssss it says who BT is in his sig* :p

Maybe telling when you all usually are on would help since nobody can find eachother lately.

[Ghryphen]

Just THZ* will work. I don't often see anyone else on from THZ either. When I play it is usually after 8-9 PST.

[Nilk]

oops, know what's funny stang? that I still explained what BT was, because I hadn't really looked at my sig in awhile, lol
need to add www.talonsplace.com next

[Ghryphen]

Soo many sigs on the net, I have started to ignore them hehe.

[Nilk]

great times, last night gryph, and was that stewey, on the last match?
loads of fun :D yay! found THZ* on ut2k4! :bouncy:
now to get some of them dagburned XMEN on, sheeesh

[Stang]

:nerd:

[Torque]

I saw Gryph. Tried to talk to him on TS? HIs server was full so I palyed another. Then when I checked again. He was gone. :rocket:

[Nilk]

he doesn't really talk on TS, he's just there

[Ghryphen]

I had the sound down for most of the night and I don't notice the chat very well, so I was just blindly running around and shooting anything enemy, not even noticing the names of the killed.

UT is a lot less personal than Tribes, it is hard to get used to, seems there is no personality, it is like playing a bunch of bots when you blank out the messages.

[Stang]

On our TS server or the ingame one? Lately he hasnt been sitting in our TS when he plays. If your talking about last night I had him turn it down a bit so we could listen to CSI so its my fault :) usually he does have the sound on and I watch him and will notice a name and tell him since hes not so bright sometimes :p.

[Nilk]

he should buy a headset :P lol

[Ghryphen]

I have a headset, but I also have $400 surrond speakers, so I don't really want to wear a pair of $30 cans on my head :D

Plus I don't have any extensions, so it would require me to crawl behind my comp every time I wanted to plug them in.

[Stang]

Naw he dont need any headset majority of the time he has them up loud, which I dont care, and just every once in a great while I ask him to turn them down :).

[Nilk]

hehe, well I have a nice surround sound system, and if the bass stays low, I get to play it, other wise I use what were $60 headset(plantronics) think price might be less now, still they sound awful nice :D

[Nilk]

I have a recurring problem, with ut2k4, if I drop from a server, and try to join another server, sometimes it will just freeze on the cover screen(map title, nice graphic of one skin or another, but no game loads) anyone else run across this? I can't say it has been consistent, and maybe they are just dead servers, but I always have to terminate UT, from Task Manager.
anybody?
thanks :D

[Torque]

Happen once to me.

[Nilk]

maybe I keep doing the same dumb thing over and over, lol
dunno only played on AC's server tonight, and didn't get around to server hopping

[KitZune]

My friend SiFi told me about being able to issue voice commands to bots with a microphone yesterday... it's AWESOME! once you get used to how "computer" you have to sound when you talk, you can really start to use the bots to your advantage. I DOMINATED a match of CTF on Face Classic by commanding my teammates around like a champ. So I highly suggest using your microphone and getting used to the commands.

[Nilk]

I've been thinking about how long it takes, for maps to load, the main game that bothers me, about the load time, would be onslaught. nothing like spawning to your core being destroyed on a small map, and checking scores and realizing 5 out of 8 players, on oyur team have a zero score, including yourself.
could it be shortened, with lower visual quality settings? perhaps it is the textures, which require such a long amount of time(in assault it is good, because it has a 60 second "practice round", which gives most people time to start up) just curious, is anyone has heard anything on how to shorten loadtimes(shortened mine considerably when I disabled preloading skins)
Also, that sounds pretty cool, Kit :D might be something to fiddle with, I've managed to beat all but the final fight, of the single player ladder game, and that's really only because I've only tried it twice. But being able to command the bots clearly and consicely, now that would make for a more interest experience :D
