>IS UT4 EVER GOING TO GO BEYOND PRE-ALPHA STAGE?
Also, I have questions about UT. Sadly, I couldn't play it with anyone back in the day because I didn't have access to the net and even then it was slow as fuck. Now that it has changed and I have a group of friends willing to play, which game is the best for 4-6 multiplayer fun? Which one has the most content (mods, battle systems etc)? Also, is 4 being dumbed down?

>Which one has the most content (mods, battle systems etc)?
2k4 has the most variety in game modes, and it has the whole movement emphasis and adrenaline powerup thing. Definitely the most potentially chaotic and gimmicky. Although last time I checked people were only still playing it for Onslaught and '99 was more active overall.
>is 4 being dumbed down?
Not unless something's changed recently. Changes have come and gone but the core gameplay is still UT. If there is a potential problem it's the game getting too ESPORTS SPORTS "streamlined" and not having much polish or fun stuff in it.

Hard to pick a favorite. The Link Gun has a great balance of damage, accuracy and fire rate and the Shock Rifle has the combo attack, but overall the minigun is probably the most dependable.

The original Unreal has aged incredibly well. I've played it through a while ago and there were few parts that made me wish they had tweaked it a little.

>Best game
I used to say UT2004, but I've grown to appreciate how grounded and simple everything is in UT99. I really liked the direction UT4's movement systems were taking, building on 99's movement with additions like wall-dodging/wall-running
>Favorite weapon
Porch Flak Monkey 4 life. That said, I think people don't quite appreciate how great the Dual-Enforcers are.
>Favorite map
Tough call. Can't quite remember right now, but anything that isn't overplayed as shit will do fine.
>is 4 being dumbed down?
It's not being dumbed down so much as they're constantly making retarded decisions after showing so much promise. The weapon balance is totally fucked, they removed the impact hammer from deathmatch and other game modes because they were 'worried about new players getting confused as to its purpose,' the art passes at the maps don't quite feel 'Unreal,' and they pretty much took most people off the team and devoted resources to work on other shitty projects
Also, look at the previous Enforcer model they were building off of and compare it to the new one. The new one looks like a goddamn box with pointless shit jutting out of it, while the prior had a relatively sleek and faithful design.
Oh and if you're looking for groups to play UT with, I know of two that play semi-regularly and have a decent community. Speck's Unreal Vidya (also hosts Jedi Knight games) and Unreal Multiplayer (Also coop's Unreal)

I won't say it was my favorite, but I really loved the hoverboard in UT3. VCTF flag runs could be really fun because of it. Not only was it functional, but you could pull tricks on it while you were running for style.

I only play against bots.
UT3 has my favorite maps and modes (Greed, fuck yeah), but the bots are inconsistent as fuck.
UT2004 has the worst maps (flat empty spaces everywhere to accommodate dodge jumping) but when modded, has the best bots. Also, I can't stand Onslaught after playing Warfare.
I end up just playing UT99 instead.

>Best game
UT99, because of the temple/church maps like ut99's agony. Not my favorite map, but I like it design wise. I am not a very big fan of cartoonish/futuristic maps like those in ut2k4. But even apart from the design, 99's maps were usually tight and smaller compared to the open and floaty maps they made for 2k4
>Fav weapon
Shock rifle, with flak being on second place

I like 2k4's DM-Rankin.
>IS UT4 EVER GOING TO GO BEYOND PRE-ALPHA STAGE?
Who cares? The game is simply bad.
I had a idea for a new arena shooter just a few days ago. Was listening to a new song I found and it had some UT vibes to it. The main gimmick is that you have a sword and a shield. I was thinking, no matter what, you always have a laser sword in your right hand, and whatever weapon you pick up in your left hand. And if you give it a ut2004 like shield gun you can basically jump around playing with a shield and a sword (shield obviously breaking and needing to recharge after a certain amount of damage is taken). I just really like the idea of going high speed through a map with a double barrel shotgun in one hand, and a sword in the other. Movement wise I think dodging would be a nice way to enable bunny hopping. Like if you jump normally you don't gain speed, but if you dodge once every following jump gives you more speed. Kinda like jumping like in Painkiller. I love these totally autistic jumping sound. In Serious Sam you got these grunt sounds, for some reason I found them very relaxing.
>>13902937
>I thought it people said that it is consolized garbage?
How exactly is UT3 consolized bullshit? Let me guess, you never really played UT back in the days, last year you googled UT, saw that a lot of people say 2004 is the best one so you repeat what they say and pretend to be a UT fan.

Luckily it includes loonix installation script and after applying patch/bonus pack, installing one missing library, fixing two library links and setting correct resolution runs fine.
Nice to see people still play this even after 13 years (obviously not as much as in 2007 when I bought it, but still). And it's still fun.

Does anyone else have a problem with 2K4's weapon feel?
The actual gameplay aspects are all vastly improved (other than removing the 6-loader rocket launcher, I loved that fucking thing and want it back so bad), but every weapon feels like a Halo-tier toy gun. The firing and explosion sounds are all muted, and none of the guns seem to have any real kick to them. I need a patch that gives me UT99's sound design added to 2K4.

Did you guys not see the gameplay videos by the devs? It was pretty obvious that they have no idea how to play UT. They only ever started to dodge because people pointed it out on the forums, and even then they randomly dodged. These people don't know the basics of UT, they can't design good games. And more importantly, their forums are flooded by people who suck at UT too.

Yeah it would be probably better if UT2k4 had a proper cooperative game mode like in Unreal 1, I bet the Ballistic Weapon mod would be a blast to play on it. But no instead there is a shitty invasion game mode.

Never seen this before. I'll forgive his occasional faggotry on account of this and continue to hold out hope for UT4 in spite of having no real reason to hold out hope for anything in this pozzed industry these days. Did you post this on the expectation that people would disagree with it? If so you must have wandered in from Reddit last week and the concept that non-indoctrinated opinions are allowed here hasn't quite sunk in yet.

Microtransactions, active playerbase, Canadian tax money.
But I don't think Warframe is really in beta. There are major parts of the game that if they were to be scrapped like a beta, they'd also have to remove things some people have spent money on accessorizing. Their game gets updated not too differently than an MMO- at this point beta is a lot like a thin excuse for whatever bugs and balance overhauls that occur.
