    Well, My wife is going to be a gaming widow this season. lol
    Bless her soul...She loves seeing/hearing me having fun on UT or TF2.
    Always asking after... Did you have fun honey?
    I've been waiting for this (UT3), ever since the first news out on it.
    Hope my Athlon XP 3200+ CPU / Abit uGURU AN7, WD 36G Raptor, 2G OCZ PC3200 (200 MHz) Platinum Ram, and Radeon X1600 Pro 256MB will run it ok.

    Yea mason, I didn't care for that either.:( Especially when the demo only plays at 800X600. You can't up the resolution to get a feel for the graphics of it... even though I don't have the latest card.. Sapphire ATI Radeon X1600 Pro 256MB. I could still run 1260X1080 just to check the graphics...
    That being said, This games gonna have some really fun stuff..
    All kinds of new weapons. Still has the Redeemer which if you can find it on different maps it's a killer
    It's got a mini-gun similar to the one the heavy carries in TF2...
    Pulse gun which is like the old plasma gun..
    Sniper rifle which is cool too...really long range....
    And a bunch more...
    Then the machines... Hoverboard.. (Back To The Future) and fast too.
    All kinds of drivable vehicles like tanks, Movable giant cannons..Smaller all terrain vehicles...Hovercraft that hover 2-10 ft off the ground..The Raptor which will hover low over the street or super high over the entire map. Yuo control the height.... And they all fire different types of weapons.. some plasma, some hard bullets, some exploding bullets or ammo. Some launch missiles..
    It also still has the super health shield from the original, even though it looks different and I think it has a time limit on it now too. Seems it ran out on me after about a min.
    So this is going to be a pretty good game if they polish it off before hitting the shelves..
    One last note too.. It plays fast like the original UT played as far as movement on the player..... Whooot, That's a big plus...

    20 Oct 2007 ~ 5:27pm Thrax Uh, I play at 1680x1050, I don't know why you can't go higher than 800x600.

    Seems it always defaults back to 8X6 on me. Must not be setting it right or saving settings/etc. I was all excited to get into the game while there was a bunch of setup to go through just to play a dang demo.
    Thanks for letting me know Thrax, as I wouldn't have known it played on higher settings. I think these games should read your graphics cards and set either to optimal settings for it or to what the desktop is set at. Then you can have the option to go in and change it higher if you want.
    I'll have to play around with the settings. I really want to see it with better graphics..

    Make sure you hit apply after you have made your changes.
    
    I love this game ... it plays wonderfully and has pretty good graphics ... but the game play is the real strength.
    I really hate those robotic tentacled things that go around killing the combatants :bigggrin:

    26 Oct 2007 ~ 9:06am Cyclonite You can control those robotic tentacle things. It's.. insane. Hah.
    
    I think the game looks great, and it plays much more smoothly than I expected it to. The Unreal Engine is an amazing thing.
