Hey Botha Long time. If your still up to fragging, there is a UT99 severs still running and running good.

I just tried to play on the server with the best ping. Not good, got a 389 ping on this conn. Not planning on moving, so it may be awhile before my online gaming will be much fun. Nice seeing players moving around instead of bots. lol been a long time. Has anyone here played with the new editor? did they increase its curve alot from ut04? I like playing with it. I have a few maps i did for ut99 and ut04. only my clan really saw them tho. Would kinda like to get back into the mapmaking, even if I cant play online much. I had more difficulty with Maya than with the editor. Static meshes were kinda tricky.

if someone does make giant maps, i hope they look like the giant maps in ut99, i.e. a whole lot simpler.

i've played ut3 a few times, and the more i play it, the more i don't like it.

maps have cool layouts and i like the tweaked gametypes, but the graphics are FAR too busy for my tastes.

the comp i play on is fully able to render everything, but the textures and details are WAY too busy, and hence distracting to gameplay imo.

tone down the colors and textures by about half and i'd love to join in.

I have some old UT99 maps on our UT2k4 server but its not the same because no one plays that style much in 2k4. Next time I get online I'm playing the OG since it seems to be more popular still than any other version.

I think I'll make the second server UT99 instead of UT3 or 2k4 for now and see how that goes.

I thought when 2004 came out there were a bunch of 99 maps that were "ported" over... can the same thing be done in UT3?

One day I will fire up the new editor and follow along with the video tutorials that I have.

Things aren't so much as "harder", as the basic layout is still the same. It's just learning the new features is what would be considered difficult, plus where things are located.
