Out of boredom and curiosity, I'm reinstalling UT2004 to see what the graphics look like and whether or not any new maps/players have emerged. I used to love this game until it became some clan-dominated, grudgematch. Too many people named ~)OMG(~*lol*][roflmasterXxX]

:P I'm ready for disappointment, but I also feel the need to camp with a tank.

ahahaha well i can tell you that there are ALOT of maps out there unfortunately with the fact that anyone can upload a map there is alot of crap out there but there are some really nice assault maps that i particularly enjoy and beware of retards with mikes!!i cant find a single server that doesn't have at least 2 people that keep saying OWNED YOU! NOOB!

*lol* I jumped on a server today, and I was immediately asked if I was ~)KD(~Ace_of_Spades. Apparently when I logged in yesterday, an old admin friend of mine saw my GUID and saw my old names (I used to admin for MPUK). So much for hiding, but glad to hear UT3 flopped!

flopped? i didn't think it was too bad i think its just because '04 became such a big name that everyone has it and when you have a great game that already has tons of people on the servers people aren't gonna switch over to fast just for some new maps and flashier graphics

Heh, tell that to the psychos who spend $3000 on new systems in preparation for UT3! XD AlienWare made a haul off them.

Servers are still *kind* of populated for assault racing, but not as much as I remember. Might end up looking for another game shortly.

haha i know my brother spent a grand upgrading and then realized that there were hardly anyone on the servers
i wish i could recommend a game but i am looking for a new one as well

XD

Well, looks like I'm done with UT2k4! The maps quickly became boring, the players are pretty much gone, and half the servers are filled with bots. But heck, it was entertaining.

I ran into a guy today that I banned last year from a server I used to admin, lol, and the guy was still pissed about it! How sad is that when you spend a year festering over a video game?

I very delicately told him that I had spent about an hour making up a fake reason for his ban, all the admins laughed at him, and that I admined only for the fact that I could totally powertrip out on people and boot them left and right at random. He proceeded to go ballistic, and I hopped on off the game, :)

I don't need that sort of drama, so I think I'll go and invest in TF2 now. [/list]

XD
although that is hilarious!
that sounds like a good idea though as soon as i get some money i think i will follow you on that one

I finished downloading and since I didn't want to get stuck in 3 hours of gameplay at this hour, I just farted around with Gary's Mod, which is just too much fun.

There's something very satisfying with driving your Mustang into a carefully stacked mountain of propane tanks, XD

lucky i ran out of space on this hard drive!
how big is it anyway?

Handful of gigs - I'm somewhat addicted to Gary's Mod moreso than TF2 atm..

what exactly is it? i saw it in the back of a pc gamer under mod of the month once but i didn't read anymore on it

Its a complete sandbox, you can pose rag dolls to make comedic or awesome scenes (I had a combine vs rebel shootout scene frozen that was pretty awesome. That was back when Gmod was free :/ You can still get v9 for free, but I can't find additional files for it). You can also build stuff and people have separate mini-games in it. I made an awesome lift and thruster powered car/boat once. There's a freeze tag game variant (uses the bolt gun, think quake 3 railgun freeze tag) and a hide and seek variant.

ooh wicked thank you Sefris!

My vast stores of knowledge and experience are always happy to help :P
