Was playing a bunch of tdm instagib this weekend and had a friggin blast. Jump online gurus, its shaping up to be a great return to arena shooters.

I'll definitely be giving this a go once my pc is back up and running!

Building maps is a surprisingly thing to do using their editor. In some ways is more fun than actually playing the game 🙂

Ah, memories...im hyped for trying UT once again.

nice.. for the ones that wanna play, add me: BetADNA :)

Does this game use the UE4? It does not look like it..

Why doesn't it look like it? Go play the game. The graphics are incredible for the maps that are fully meshed.

Uhm how do you get this? :3eyes: Reminds me of the good old UT2 days...

It does use UE4. Very well optimised considering it is pre Alpha. As others have said, not all the maps have been meshed yet. The ones that have, look incredible.

Yeah, when i tried that Alpha 1v1 fps was even 100+ in some cases, single card. Adding many bots does reduce fps quite a bit though but still very much playable.

Those comments make me want to play this game. 😀

Download the Epic games launcher, then download from there.

Thanks for the info. Another launcher... when does it end? 🙁 Steam, Origin, Blizzard, GoG, uplay, epic, when does it end? Which one did I forget?

Wow .. I loved to play ctf on facing worlds. Looks really nice.

... or they'd allow you to install games only, without the need for annoying drm measures (which they are, excluding GoG). Anyways, now I will get myself that demo too I guess and have a try with UT soon.

IIRC they plan on launching the game on steam at some point. It's currently in the Epic Launcher too because it ties into UE4. They release the assets from the game/maps on the UE engine so people can build their own maps, game modes, etc. The entire development of the Alpha is essentially open to anyone. Anyone can make their own weapons/maps/characters/etc and submit it to Epic, Epic then takes it and put's it on the market for either free or pricing it depending on what the creator of the asset wants. They already hired two of the people that we're just fans helping build the game. The one guy, Gooba, did the concept art for all the new weapons and the new map Titanpass. It's pretty cool to see community made stuff being brought into the game in a big way. That being said, the game does have some issues. The interface is kind of confusing, I really don't care for the Hub system that they are using for server browsing. And they seem to be sticking with it going forward, despite people complaining about it constantly on the forums. Like I'm sure it will improve, but the majority of my friends that I try to get to play the game, complain about how confusing the menu system is. Before you join any servers, download all the free maps on the market -- if a server changes to one of these maps after a match you'll be disconnected if you don't have it. They need to make it so that free maps can be downloaded during map switch and if it's a purchasable map, that you can buy it during map switch. There are only 5 meshed maps (that I can think of) and only 3 of them are CTF. So don't go in expecting a finished game with lots of good looking maps. Most of them are unfinished, there are no textures and detail. The ones that are finished look great though. This also goes for weapons, some of the weapons haven't been updated, the UT3 meshes are there as place holders. Be patient. There are some old school UT99 people playing this game that have probably hundreds of thousands of hours logged into it. They are very good at the game and they will make you look worthless. The game has a very high skill ceiling and these people are at the top. In the Hub channel there is a noob section, I recommend sticking there if you're new to the game. I also recommend playing CTF at the start, it's a little less chaotic.

Wow .. I loved to play ctf on facing worlds. Looks really nice.

The map looks good graphically and it's definitely filled with nostalgia, but honestly it's a really ****ty map in terms of competitive design. Titan Pass is much better in terms of gameplay.

Check out the youtube link for 1440p 60fps goodness.

where?

I love the series and have been playing UT3 since it came out and still play matches every now and then but I NEVER play online, nor will I ever. I love me some old fashioned bot matches, will UT4 have any offline bot matches or is the last hope for offline gaming gone with the free to play aspect as well?

I think there is some training stuff with selectable difficulty to play against bots.

Downloaded the Launcher this weekend and as soon as it was opened it lagged my PC so bad that it was just unusable. If the launcher is minimized then its fine, but as soon as its opened my PC lags. Anyone else have issues with it?

I haven't experienced this issue but im curious, do you have G-Sync set to enabled for Windowed applications? If yes, try disabling it and running it.

Wait you can already play this or is it still in some closed beta?

It's open Pre-Alpha. The game was playable before it even had menus 😛

Impact hammer was the only weapon I was successful killing aim-bots with. Remember the original UT. Had fun on a lot of maps a person by the tag name of Rush created.
