Hey - turns out IRC is out and something a little more modern has taken it's place... A little thing called Discord!

while i'm still dodgin apoc's flames can i just add that after watching the video a couple of times it seems - relatively to the movement of the players in ut2003 - the trains are actually narrower then Hispeed? that first room with the big rockets in it seems like you could fill it with a combo....
and railings on the side are nice, but experienced players don't drop off hispeed very often, they get shot off, a few railings wouldn't save you from gettin hit by a few rockets and flying off?
/me hides again
i "am" looking forward to the demo but sofar i don't see that much to look forward too, xept the sniper rifle and the tweaked shockrifle which is shown in the vid
rockets dont launch you in ut2k3, we've had a hell of a discussion about that.
and at least the big vehicle didnt look too small, after all it has a docking bay for a smaller vehicle.

dont tell that to SPR-=¤willhaven¤=- said:5 or 6 people can stand on the nexus missiles.
many people often stand on them to defend
anyway narrow = spam
if theres like a point where a spree of rockets or a shock combo can fill the space ppl HAVE to get past.......
forget about it I can tell you thats gonna be hated like guardia..But if there are other routes then it should be no problem.
Guys, take a look at the CTF map in that vid, you notice how some areas don't actually look that big and then you see one of the enemy team come running by...and he's a fricking dot on the screen.
Seems to me that Epic have seriously addressed one of the most common complaints about 2k3, the player/map scale. As for Convoy, well lets play it 1st then if it is pure spam then we can complain again. Given the scenario on the map what else can they do, not every assault map can be big open wide spaces like the beach on overlord. The point is defeners are supposed to be able to mount a defense. It's not supposed to be a game of hide and seek.

heres an ANCIENT screenshot to give you a sense of scale.
basically, those glass-like things behind the player were some placeholder missiles that are the same size as the new ones.
players can jump down on the doors this player is standing on (once they open), and a drop down hole toward the back
once you are in, its a short run to the switch to start extending the missiles
