I rarely enjoy games where I can't get so much as a single kill, and even though I might be terrible at CS, I'm worse at UT.

Your skins, on the other hand, I am loving.

I feel the exact opposite way. I can only rarely get kills in non-arcade styled FPS games while I can own in games like UT games and Quake 3. I love playing Quake 3 with the lighting speed server mods. Its purely epic.

awesome textures, but a few more areas with less detail (like what you've done on the wall) would go a long way.

I agree, the textures are becoming an eye sore. Theres just so much detail that it's to the point of looking messy.

you wont notice it all nearly as much in the game, trust me.

First off, UT3's gameplay is even better then previous games gameplay and it's graphics are outstanding. I believe people should gave the game, and franchise a chance, even though it is very fast gameplay it can, and usually is fun.

Republic Commando is in my top 10 games list and is one of my favorite games, and i've played on it with people on 'easy' and yes its like grenade frezy, but up the difficulty to hard and you have to use cover more and pick up enemy weapons alot more. Give games a chance as a whole before judging them.

Nice work, that looks awesome. Tweek's Modelling + Your Texturing = WIN.

DO WANT!

Look, I'll give UT a great thumbs-up for the engine, and the graphics, and all that other shit, except the gameplay. I personally just don't find it to be the least bit fun. It's way to ADHD. It has absolutely no subtlety to it.

Here, how bout a comparison- Halo is like Aliens, while UT is more like AVP. I'm not just speaking about a complete lack of plot, I'm talking about the nuances of gameplay- Halo has more to it, and makes it less obvious. UT just bashes you over the head with ACTION ACTION ACTION, but non-stop action just doesn't work for me without something to contrast it against. You can't just make your entire website brilliant stunning blue; you have to add contrast with various hues and allow some parts to be toned down so other parts actually have something to stand out against. And you can't just make your game all complete non stop in-your-face omg explosions action, no matter how cool each individual second of it may be, because then there's nothing to contrast that action against.

[ot]
And while we're at it, you can't just make a movie that goes "ok, here we have an obligatory 5 minutes of plot setup and now we have ACTION followed by ACTION followed by SPECIAL EFFECTS followed by MORE ACTION followed by THE BIGGEST EXPLOSION EVAR followed by AWESOME CONCLUSION SPECIAL EFFECTS followed by OMG STYLIZED CREDITS!"

Ok, so there have been worse movies, but for various reasons including but not limited to 1) it revisits two of my favorite movies ever 2) it takes itself seriously 3) it was well received and 4) it has absolutely no plot whatsoever, I am now declaring that AVP is one of the shittiest movies I have ever seen.
A case in point: in a movie so about special effects, it's completely shameful that I found the aliens in Aliens much more lifelike, and Aliens was made before I was born.

Not only was I not judging it that wasn't a bash on Republic Commando in the first place :rolleyes:

Besides Republic Commando fails where it could have been truly awesome for its total lack of server administration features.

that was a bash on Republic Commando
