epic games have just released there first high res textured map of the new unreal tournament which looks insane. Also this is Pre alpha that anyone can sign up and play right now for free at http://www.unrealtournament.com/blog/
2nd video is just showing what happening in terms of how the game is developed with the community the flak cannon you see in the videos as made by a community member, and there will be a market place people can create and sell there stuff and make a bit of cash so if you good with the unreal engine you could help build the new ut
epic games are really looking to push the e-sports i myself am a semi retired pro at ut and have been asked by epic to make guides for the game to help new players get introduced in to arena fps games .
i made couple of guides already i hope to get more advance and game breakdowns soon
Aw man, looking really sick right now. How is the netcode coming along?
Also, yeah, I have a buddy who works in the esports department at Epic and he's mentioned some really awesome stuff coming down the line. Really glad to see arena FPS back in the scene.
I played a few games on the pre-alpha release. It feels pretty good. It definitely leans more towards 2k3/2k4 than UT1. I had forgotten how fun it is to line up newbs into shock combos.
Technically, the game looks like ass without any of the textures put in, but it runs very well on my laptop (780m/4700). Frame rates are constantly above 100 on high settings. We will see how it does when details are added in. There are definitely some bugs in the game, but that is to be expected. For whatever reason, I cannot bind my flak cannon to my E key, which is pissing me off more than anything else.
Yea i had the same bug m8 that is binding called best weapon just unbind that by press E again and then u should be able to set that to your flak cannon
i like the addition of slide, more movement tricks are always nice since its fun to watch skilled players use that in middle of competitive matches.
seems not as floaty as ut2k4 which is a good thing.
edit: gave the game a bit of a whirl, very nice. i prefer the old rocket launcher tho, dont like the rocket volley after charging. would there be any new "official" weapons made soon? all the old weapons returning are nice though would be ncie to see a few new additions

i dont know what version you are playing. but the updated version of unreal 4 has no double jump or shield gun. you only get a 1x standard jump + wall jump. UT2k4 Best arena if not best fps all of time had way more movement options, you got 2 jump actions (Jump + 2nd Jump + wall bounce or Side jump + 2nd jump to a wall bounce) and for shield gun their is none currently present in the game i even checked keybindings unless you are talking about impact hammer which is no way the same as shield gun from 2k3/4. These 2 mechanics are what separates unreal from any other shooter if it fails to provide these again this game will get no where like unreal 3

I wouldn't expect this game to get anywhere in the first place. Arena shooters are a niche genre. They're fun and incredibly old school, but the genre has moved on. UT4 is a game by enthusiasts for enthusiasts.
UT3 flopped because it didn't click with old fans and because many gamers had already moved on to COD-style gameplay. Games like Doom 4 or Half Life 3 (if it will ever be released) face the same problem. Personally I found UT3 to be the best in the series, but I never played it online anyway.
Looks pretty awesome so far! It's great that they're working alongside the community to develop it and are only monetizing cosmetic things (seems to be working well for Path of Exile). I can almost guarantee you that I can't run it on this computer, sadly.

The UT series has always been a niche genre, even back in the old days.
And guess what, it wasn't the competitive DM that keep most of the game community active.
It was the fun team oriented gamemodes that attract the masses who do play, modes like monster hunt/bombing run/onslaught/invasion. The ease of modding allowing one to create offshoot mods that subsequently can be grown into full blown games like red orchestra/alien swarm which is also popular with its own fanbases(for a while back then)
Doom 4 isn't popular but quake is Half-life isn't (that) popular but CS is Wc3 isnt popular but DOTA is
Get the memo?
CoD is just Children Online Daycare and isn't worth wasting time or breath over.
