I just got UT2004

I love the Goliath, I just drive around slaughtering everything in my path. Shooting Raptors out of the sky is great "EAGLE EYE!" oh man its sweet. I think I'm gonna have to start a clan now, damnit I havn't played a game seriously in probably 3-4 years. My girlfriend is going to be pissed :p
 
great game, plays fine for me (besides alot of the laggy servers)
does anybody know where or how to get the Leviathan? (sp?)
i cant find this godly vehicle anywhere!
 
plays fantastic for me. my one and only complaint is that i can't really hear other people talking very well. but i guess everybody can hear me so who cares what they say. :p

the gameplay is awesome, graphics i haven't had a single hitch on (minus the 32 person onslaught games with every single in-game setting maxxed at 1600x1200 and even then it's only noticeable in heavy combat where you're like 'DIE DIE DIE DIE RAAAAA') and the load times are the same as when i was playing the demo.

the headphones that come with the Special edition suck hardcore. like i'm almost tempted to run my sound through my regular speakers and just wear the headphones so the mike is right there. sennheiser mic/headphones here i come! and i also didn't have a single problem when installing it. i want to go back and play some more but homework calls :(

this game is currently #2 on my most favorite games of all time list.

i
freaking
love
it.

good when people actually listen. i personally can't hear people talk for some reason. they just sound kinda garbled but i dunno if that's just me or what. some people sound great others don't. but it is great to say "get in" and like 4 people actually do. or you say "attack 5" and everybody attacks five. ahhhh teamwork so awesome.
 
HRslammR, do you know where the vehicle the Leviathan(sp?) is? i cant find it anywhere....is it on a specific map only? or game mode?

i imagine it's only on a few maps. and only in onslaught. i know that there's one on one level... forget what it's called... but it's very dark and rocky. and it dwarfs the tank by alot as well. i remember running and seeing it and going "hey that's that rolling machine gun thingie" then it looked like it sprouted some legs and then aimed right at me i'm like "this can't be good" then i died and saw a gigantic explosion. for a good reference it's like the siege tanks from stracraft. vulnerable from the air but the single best land unit available.
 
Well I got home today from school and it was sitting on my desk.

Now I just got to wait for my belkin n52 to come in the mail.
 
haha! I got my order from EB games. to my shock and awe its the special edition with the headset and DVD... so I got the SE for 10 bucks after rebates!
 
There actually were assault maps you could DL for 2k3, also for original UT.

Can't wait to play this game tonight after consuming a large ammount of whiskey and beer =)
 
I would have mine today, if FedEx employess weren't prone to bouts of retardedness.

I have had my signature on file with them for years, so they always leave packages at the door when no one is home (no one is EVER home when they deliver here). So, naturally, I expected to find UT2K4 waiting on my doorstep.

All I found was a note saying they "attempted delivery" but no one was home. That's why I have my signature on file, idiots!

Excuse me while I go devise novel ways for torturing stupid people...

Btw, I just realized something... this forum needs an :evilsmiley: :)

Um no, dont you think I messed with that before making that statement :rolleyes:

if you look here apparently there are a lot of problems with the release. Some peeps cant even get the game to install off the DVD version. And then others just get the load screens and thats it...

Well after doing some reason some people are finding that

In order to make it run smoother, you have to uncheck the option that says "Preload Player Skins"
People are saying the game takes up 756 MB of memory. :eek:


I'm also reading that a lot of people are having problems. Particurally the people who have the lower end PC's. That 756 MB of memory is kinding of making me scared, I only have 512 MB of memory.
 
anybody find the secret vehicle yet? its funny as hell. i wont give it away lol
 
I'm going to pick it up soon since I don't feel like beta testing BF:V anymore.
 
Yep secret vehicle is great, won't give it away either but it does require a command. The Levithan is in the maps: Redplanet and Severence. At least that's the only two maps I've found it in so far.

He could have used a line like this, "Hey baby. I see that you're checking out my Special Edition." Then again, he could have used lines like these:
  • "Why don't you come to my place and show me a real head shot."
  • "Unreal? Hey, I'll show YOU something unreal..."
  • "So exactly what kind of 'tutorials' do they have on this DVD?"
  • "I've been known to respawn several times a night."
  • "I plan on camping here until you go out with me."
  • "I'd love to wallhack your apartment."
  • "Damn baby. You've got so many polygons that it makes my entire system get hot."
  • "Has anyone ever told you that you've got fantastic antialiasing?"
  • "Know what would make a good recipe? A cup of you, a cup of me. Add boiling water. Stir. Serve HOT!
So the last one isn't game related, but cheesy enough to be used.

I haven't seen it, but I think I've heard it. Does the horn play Dixie? :D
 
Just have to throw in my 2 cents. I played UT and UT 2003 into the ground, but this game is awesome. Flys with all the graphics cranked. The music is a blast. Will spend many hours on this game.

nah no horn
without giving it away...ill just tell you its "full of shit".
search some unreal sites for it :)
 
I'll throw yet another "I've got it" post to the heap. I was able to use the Gift Card trick (coupon! natch) at Best Buy to get the SE for $24.99. Life is good.
 
Yeah i tried to pick it up but the best buy was out and Fry's was out of em, i think i got there and i saw a guy leave with the last one(special edition). Is this like a limited edition where they only made a small quantity? Fry's had like 200 copies of the regular version, but it loked like they only had like 15 copies of the SE. Are they going to keep selling hte SE version or is it out of production after the first cycle of sales?
 
I pre-ordered it form Best Buy. Now they're showing it back ordered!! $H1T!!!
 
I've had mine since Tuesday and I've maybe played two times (the other times I've been learning to map with UnrealEd and the VTMs on the DVD)

Is that a pair of HD590s I see on the side? It's gotta be Senns, I just can't tell if they're 590s or not. :)
 
I got my game on the 16th too.. I love it! Zero problems!

Runs great, But I didnt read the whole thread.. But if you are having load problems, try to disable load preskins....

I have a dedicated private server, if you are interesting in playing there come to my forum for the connection info :)

http://sharky.nuclearfallout.net/

I am still working on the site, it will redirect you to my forum for now :)
 
I got this game UPS yesterday and I like it but the levels take way too damn long to load for me. Often, all the power nodes are taken by the time I get in. I recently took a stick of 512MB out of my PC to use in a server but if it makes this much of a difference, looks like I will be purchasing another stick. My system is usually very fast and I always get like PID of <5 in a 60 man BF1942 game.
 
All of the fucking Best Buy stores around here sold the special editions last night, instead of this morning like they were fucking supposed to.

And they still expect me to pay $10 more for the version that has less shit included. Idiots.

Is there any place that is selling the stupid thing? For less than 40? I have to agree with Tyco that preorders are the fucking devil.

Thanks, that did help quite a bit. Now map load times are a lot faster and most if not all the nodes have not been claimed by the time I get in the match.

nothing wrong with paying $40 for any one of the 3 versions...

Be happy its not $60!
 
Got my copy this morning when BB opened. They didnt even have them on the shelves yet, but I spoted a box near some employee's chatting, it had a nice red ATARI stamped on the side of it.

There looked to be about 2 cases of the standard version and maybe 10 copies of the special edition. Im now the proud owner of the special edition. FYI they are marked at 39.99 but ring up at 29.99. Also a buddy of mine spotted a Hellboy trailer dvd there for free. Its prolly crap, but hey its free and came in a standard dvd box
 
:eek: This is Unreal.

While I was @ BB on my lunch today. One of the BB guys says that there was a line outside the store today @ 8am. They open at 10am. They were ALL waiting for the SE edition.

BB only had 20 SE's and some customers were grabbing 3 copies because of the 3 copies per person limit.

The guy in the blue shirt then says that these 3 copy grabbers planned to sell the 2 xtra copies on Ebay:eek:

I am almost afraid to think of the affect the release HL2 and Doom3 will have on SOME people.

Rioting in the streets maybe.:)
