I think the main issue, and most wont admit it is.
They expected an updated 2k4 with another game type, but epic did say they where going more ut99ish.
So i reckon thats the issue, everyone (obviously not everyone) loved how 2k4 played, how it worked, and then when ut3 came out it was like a dulled down game to them.

I don't think that's the issue. UT players only make up 2-3% of the FPS playing public. The issue isn't that it's not getting much of that 3%. The issue is it isn't getting any of the other 97%. They made a game with no mainstream appeal at all.

Thats the feeling I'm getting. I think what would have been a better beta release strategy would to have included a Warfare map. That VCTF Suspension Manta-rape-your-face map was really good at discouraging anyone who played Unreal for the first time.

As per gametracker, seems that Cain's is the #1 UT3 server running right now. Not sure what they go by to track though...

Gametracker is Beta and buggy. And they only rank against other servers registered with them.

I'm not sure that would have helped all that much either. War is very similar to vctf in it's gameplay. It just replaces small maps containing slow vehicles camping flag areas while fast vehicles whiz about dragging a flag runner on a board or people going solo on foot with a flag with small maps containing slow vehicles camping node areas while fast vehicles whiz about dragging an orb runner on a board or people going solo on foot with an orb. War is just ons for ctf players. They needed a gametype to hook in the mainstream players and there isn't one.

Thanks, for clearing that up for us.

Almost seems like Epic have split the community up even more. I do wish they would just dump the single player, DM, and CTF. Well whatever happens, It was at least great gaming back here at the Lair.

With the newest NV 169.17 beta drivers the game has become playable somewhat. Don't own CoD4, don't need scripted games. This is more fun.

Though I remember the good old days {CLR} vs T.32 ....

I have had UT3 sitting is the box since the day I got it. I am really having a good time finishing up Bioshock.

But my main problem is it sounds like Warfare is mostly like Onslaught. And all I wanna play is CTF... plain old CTF...

[Premonition]

We are a dying breed brundle us plain old ctf`ers. A man his weapon, his friends and his flags. Those where the good ol days.

btw there was just a update for bioshock encase you didn't know. I don't recall what the pc update has but it should be out by now.

I guess people are tired of CTF...

And no I didn't know Bioshock had an update, I'll check it out...

Thanks
