I guess you could say I'm on fire!

Its hard to stop myself sometimes :wink: :twisted: Heh, sorry everyone, but that last round was such a rush, I just couldn't contain myself :D

BTW, Thanks MajorDeath, you helped me QUITE a bit along the way :wink:

[{CLR}geneSW]

Oh ho ho! You wait untill I get a open map to unleash my raptor on! :P

[Dead_And_Gone]

Oh WoW.

All the oldies are coming back to play. :)
And OWNING as usual. lol

I'll be online much more tomorrow for Carbon to stat pad using my
cooling blood splattered body.. hehehehe..

[BlackArrow]

Carbon, I would say by your score you were the only one having THAT much fun in that round. :D

In the two rounds i played last night, Darth had even more fun than you did.

A note of caution guys.

Obviously some of our guys are really good players, be certain to make sure you guys don't all gang up on the same team, please.

Yeah, you heard the man, don't gang up on Noobs like me :D

[Timi]

Sure, I make my return to The Lair and you have to post a screenie with my score. My PC really does not like this game yet or I would have stopped you cold. :2thumbs:

:2thumbs:
Absolutely. I tend to pick the losing side more often anyway, as I like the challenge :2thumbs: That particular game, I don't think anyone was winning when I joined.

And honestly, I don't want to sound like I'm all-that-and-a-bag-of-chips. I get schooled consistently (especially on foot) vs some of the really good players that come on the server. I was just stoked by that one round.

As for the new players, I try to be as helpful as possible, answering their questions, giving advice about some of the intricacies of the game. You know, helpful things, like "Everyone aim at -Cain-! :twisted:

Carbon, I would say by your score you were the only one having THAT much fun in that round. :D

In the two rounds i played last night, Darth had even more fun than you did.Yeah darth is crazy good at this game. Many of my deaths when hes on the server have me mumbling something about a Redeemer and well placed shot to his face :wink: :twisted:


Sure, I make my return to The Lair and you have to post a screenie with my score. My PC really does not like this game yet or I would have stopped you cold. Good job

-Intimidat0r You put up quite a fight even with an uncoorperative PC. I can only imagine the beatdown I'd get when everyone gets up to speed in their skills and hardware :o Fun playing with you anyway (and against you as well :) )

[MajorDeath]

BTW, Thanks MajorDeath, you helped me QUITE a bit along the way Wink

You had a great team work on your side. I never quite knew where you where. Mostly in the tank IIRC. I did discover though that the Impact hammer secondary is insta death for a manta! :twisted: I was having a lot of fun with that bad boy. I did feel as if I was the only one even trying to cap the flag.

Anywho, nice round Carbonfire and congrats!! You are now on my hitlist! :D

It'd be nice if any of the settings would stay after I exit and come back into the game. I just keep thinking it's a beta and it'll get better. At 1024x768 I saw anywhere from 15-35fps in that round, pretty sad. My PC isn't even 2 years old yet. Oh well, I will be back on VCTF whenever I can and hopefully I can take a screen shot when I cap ya. :P

[Apache Warrior]

My son's settings change every time he exits the game. mine don't. Go figure. :?

[MajorDeath]

Your settings won't stick unless your logged in to your profile. Make sure you are logged in when you change your settings, and make sure your logged in everytime you play the game.

[*THOR*]

Good to finally play with you Thor! Sorry bout getting 'sploded on that Manta run....when I tend to make sudden maneuvers in that thing with a hitchhiker, they have a tendency of finding the nearest wall and doing their best Jackson Pollock impersonation :twisted:

:pan:

Lot of people on this evening: Cold Catalyst, thestick, thor, pigworthy, bunch of others I don't remember :oops:

Good games all :2thumbs:

[omfg karl marx]

I had some fun tonight. I can't wait for the full version to come out though. I'm getting sick of this map.

I gotta agree. I don't know how many times I managed to frag myself with the rocket launcher/flak cannon.

[Dead_And_Gone]

Limey was owning the server yesterday.
He was almost UnKillable. the dirty rat.. :twisted:

[ryanbatc]

Niice score Carbon, that's like 10 times my score this morning....

I lost count of how many times I was walking and then ran over by a manta :twisted:

I'm a supre n00b for this game....I played the original UT a long time ago, that's it hehe

[paceman]

BAH!! - Gone a week on vacation and look what I miss.

Got to find the demo this evening when I get home from work.......

[ChrisWW11]

Nice round...not jk lol
U see that guy ChrisU111 thats me if anyone is wondering :P #1 on the loosing team but its only fun to get slammed by the manta and watch the guy drive away :cry:http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x290/ChrisWW11/Score.jpg
Note this is my third round played :wink: :wink: lol

[Cain]

Why not ChrisWW11 ??

[ChrisWW11]

Why not ChrisWW11 ??this is just temporary cause i don't want them to mess it up and then when i buy the game it might say that it is taken, which happened in 2142 because of the beta.

[Timi]

I was having fun till the server crashed.

yes, that fps ain't lying. I really play that way. :cry:

[Cain]

Timi, can we change your Forum name here to match your in-game name ???

:2thumbs:

[Rand{CLR}]

How did you get your scoreboard to show that many people? Mine only shows maybe about 8 per team tops.

-Rand

[Timi]

:2thumbs:

Sure.

I think when I registered here back in the day I tried to get Intimidator like I used in 2k4/BF2 but it was taken already.
It was also taken in UT3, thus I became Intimidat0r. :2thumbs:

[Timi]

-Rand

All I did was hit F1 to show the scoreboard. No changes at all. Heck, none of the changes I make in the .ini file stick anyways. Although last night I realized I had old nvidia drivers. Updated them and now can run at 1024x768 with texture on 5 and it stays over 40fps.
Maybe now I can keep up.

[juneau]

It official. I'm a scorpion addict! Starting to clock up some crazy kills. :D

[Rand{CLR}]

You ram me with one of those suicide Scorp runs, and we're gonna rumble. Someone did that to me the other day, I adjusted to compensate, and blasted him apart the next 6 times he tried to get me.

Scorps are still a bit fragile, but they are more powerful than in ONS, that's for sure. Those tracking mines can even take out raptors that are about 120 feet up in the air, as I found out one time to my great shame. They're absolute murder on hoverboarders with the tracking (speaking of which, I blasted a hoverboarder on Tuesday with a Raptor missile. Talk about fun). I do miss the green sticky goo that was SO good against mantas though.

[paceman]

Got the game installed and can't find the Lair online. :-(

Is there no way to connect by IP? The online browser needs a lot of work.

Make sure you've checked the option to search full servers, and are looking for VCTF. You may need to refresh once the servers load--sometimes the Lair doesn't show up the first time for some reason.

NO DOUBT :pissed:

try this:

open 63.113.60.2:9999 (vCTF server #1)

or

open 63.113.60.2:7777 (vCTF server #2)

That's what I always do now, since that server browser is always so hit or miss
:P

[Devilguns]

Yeah I'm really liking UT3. Most of the innards of my rig will hit 4 years old come November so upgrading is a must. It's pretty playable right now so I'm going wait for those new mid-range Nvidia cards that are supposed to debut next month before I build.

I even managed a flag cap this round :)

http://www.devilguns.com/temp/dg1.jpg

I blurred the one name out on the opposing team because his main tactic was mowing people down with the Manta. He did nothing for his team other than tie up a piece of equipment.

The one thing I love about UT is personal scores takes a back seat and real team work towards winning is what matters, IMHO any way. I was never a big CTF player before but when I hear one of our guys nabbed the flag I try to race to his location to give him some cover, what a rush.

[TheHarlander]

It official. I'm a scorpion addict! Starting to clock up some crazy kills. :D

You and me both. :D Scorp suicide into a Tank or the flag then juuuuummmppp outta there!

[ViTO]

Just got back from a trade show in sunny San Diego and installed the demo !!

The few minutes I got on the server were looking very sweet !!
I will be seeing all of you out there in the coming days.

Great to see some of our ONS friends still about.
Now where is that link gun.... :? I'm sure Rand has a tank that needs some green :D

Game does not have an online FPS lock that is server controlled. I upped the INI to 200 max frames and played at a fairly steady 100 FPS online. Nice, I hope that feature stays around.

[Rand{CLR}]

I wish it wasn't so easy to accidently hit the console key. I wanted to get a screenshot of the nearly 3 hour long round we just had. I ended up with 312 points to 144 for the next closest guy.

But talk about painful. Rounds that long SUCK. And they're not too good on the gaming hands either. No matter what we did, we just couldn't get an edge. Tried running the tank into their base several times, and defending with it to keep them from our flag, but finally the red guys prevailed.

Great job to everyone on both sides of that slug fest. :2thumbs:

EDIT: Vito, still waiting for that link juice. :D

-Rand

P.S. There are still some glitches with tank fire and going after Raptors. I found 3 in that match:

1. Sometimes shooting at the reticules, even when both are centered on a Raptor, doesn't work--the shot goes WAY low

2. Tank shots that look like they hit a Raptor REALLY far away seem to peter out. I hit a raptor behind their bridge from our side, and it didn't register.

3. Sometimes, an Eagle Eye will not work. I blasted a raptor in range, on the way to me, SAW THE EXPLOSION, and it still didn't register as an Eagle Eye or do actual damage to him. Weak.

[TheHarlander]

Yes, I hope they add in an overtime timer or something, where if no one can break it, its just a tie. I get *so* frusterated on those long games, good thing I don't have voice chat on or decide to type my feelings as I've seen some do. :)

[Dead_And_Gone]

ANY team game can be stalemated.
I remember Battle Grounds on WOW getting locked for 7-8 hours for a round. :shock:

Thanks for keeping your frustration off the chat's though. :2thumbs:

Visitors sometimes think ANY {CLR} tagged person is an admin, so our comments are often considered that way. We are trying to promote Cain's name and servers, so negative comments don't look good on the chat's.
:wink: I know the Temtation is HUGE though.. lol
