its looks AMAZING, i havent had it running on my system yet but as the disks been at m friends house and he's got a XP2000 256 DDR and a Geforce3TI500 and WOW does it look good. Smoooth gameplay, but a bit to fast for me. You will know what i mean once you have played it. I cant keep up:p

Morning boys and girls....only 5.5 hours left on this badboy. I hate Verizon...they still haven't connected my DSL service yet. Now they are promising this Monday. This is the third time they have pushed it back for hardware installation in the hub.:(
But, by this afternoon I will be happy.:)

Well... considering i thought the beta sucked - this thing rocks the blocks :x

1024x768 at all max settings with bots smooth as silk on my crappy SDR system :x

I'm just about to start the d/l. But just out of curiousity: what are the required system specs (I'm not at all worried I won't meet them, ;) I'm just curious)?

I'm currently downloading it now... Its almost 50% complete, it should be complete within the next 5-10 minutes... Does anyone know if there is a command that will show the FPS during gameplay? I'm planning to use the highest settings and see what kind of performance I can expect. I'm going to be running in on a XP1700+, Ti4400, 512MB PC2100 DDR... And just for comparisons sake i'm going to install it on another machine with a Tbird 1gig, GF2MX400 64MB, 256MB PC133. I'll report back with my results!

Here's another Place in case that other one is SOOOOOOOOOOOO SLOW due all the leachers

this one is fast :t

By the way i'm playing it already, is not as good as people were Hipo about

09-14-2002, 05:59 PM
I think it is good so far. :cool:

RamonGTP
09-14-2002, 06:14 PM
OK, just played the game... WOW, the graphics are nice. They're even better in the full version. According to the readme file, the textures in the demo are running at roughly half the resolution as they will be in the full version. Its nice to finally see a PC game that pushes a high polygon count AND nice textures... I got depressed when I kept seeing my PS2 games push more poly's than my PC games. It also runs very smoothly on my system. I ran it at 1600x1200 with all the highest settings, and 2x Anisotropic Filtering. I also ran all the benchmarks in the benchmark folder, and here are my results:

botmatch-antalus.bat = 25.09
botmatch-anubis.bat = 38.02
botmatch-asbestos.bat = 30.95
botmatch-citadel.bat = 29
flyby-antalus.bat = 59.76
flyby-asbestos.bat = 100.74
flyby-citadel.bat = 74.74

These are my average FPS, on this system:

EPoX 8K3A+ (KT333)
AMD XP1700+ (Very slightly OCed to 136fsb)
2x256 MB PC2100
PNY GF4Ti4400 (OCed to 280/600)
Windows XP Pro
Detonator 40.41 video drivers

And these were my settings:
1600x1200x32
All settings at their highest
2x Anisotropic Filtering

I read somewhere the retail version will have 2x larger textures compared to the demo. This was made in order to reduce the size of the download.

Those of you having smooth framerates, this is not like playing in max detail in the final version :eek: :(

Huge improvement compared to the beta though :)

And the game RULES!!!! :D :r

Bigjakkstaffa
09-15-2002, 06:59 AM
Yeah AG, i quite liek it considering i hated the beta :mad:

...however it lacks the pure eyeball burning pace that makes quake 3 king of frag hill IMO :x

Well, finally got it downloaded...left it on through the night (took close to 6 hours). I'm very sad though....me wants the full version more now :(. Well, off to see what its like when I load up a map full of bots. Peace. :t

AceAirman
09-15-2002, 10:47 AM
Wow, this demo is awesome!!! I d/l it in about 15min, not bad. But anyway I love it!:D :D :D :D :D

09-15-2002, 01:23 PM
Well, played w/ 16 bots on the Capture the Flag game and must have played for a couple hours until a couple minutes ago when she froze on me. Going to try and see if I can reproduce it. I wish the bots were a little smarter for Bombing Run...I try to pass it and they just run away.

09-15-2002, 01:26 PM
I like how when you die on a ledge you can fall off and it looks good when you hit and stuff. :D

AceAirman
09-15-2002, 01:31 PM
lol, definitely Gib. That is great, or when you have low-gravity on and die in mid-air and fall a long way, hitting things on the way down. Awesome attention to detail!:D

Bigjakkstaffa
09-15-2002, 01:46 PM
Bombing run is just a slightly expanded on copy of the quake 3 american football mod :(

09-15-2002, 01:48 PM
the demo is kicka**. i love the fast-quake like action, shooting everywhere, things blowing up, frags coming like coming faster than you can say frag:x its awesom!!!!!!!it runs everything high quality, but with 16 bots on the outdoor deathmatch level, even i have to turn the resolution down.oh well, runs good ebough for me.

WHEN DOES THE FULL VERSION COME OUT????????????????????/ :x

Is the shock gun the only thing you get to shoot in the demo?

You get them all - make sure you didn't turn on instagib mode.

I love the demo. Runs awesome at 1024 x 32 bit with anti aliaising on my xp2000 and gf4200.

I like how balanced the weapons are, and the karma physics thingy is awesome. It sounds cool with my audigy and logitech z-560s, too. :t

How sad, even on 'lower' detail the demo textures are straining the poor GeForce 2. :(
Bombing run is a lot of fun though. :r

Instagib is a mod for unreal 1/2 which give u only 1 weapon (shock riffle with red blast for unreal 1 but for unreal 2 i havent tried) and it will kill with 1 hit (great for aiming practice)

Riddlcious when playing in smallest map with that instagib mod and 15 bots on godlike mode in deathmatch smallest map (1-3 size) On unreal 1 of course!:t

yes me too, wow the only difference in our system seems to be just the Video card

i do run it with maximum settings with full features enabled, yet that still makes the game go WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY TOO FAST
i just hit the move forward left or right

and zooooom, gone i go
same with the people on the screen

every run just sooooooo sweet

no lag at all with a full game of 18/18

that's about the highest count i've seen

trying to find larger servers

BTW, me running ATI 8500

Yeah played it last night online with this mod on playing Bombing Run, it was AWESOME. It was crazy with about 14 people, 7 trying to go one way, 7 going another, and everyone having a gun that kills with one well-aimed shot! Not mention we had low gravity on... This game has endless multiplayer options and its only the demo! :D :D :D :D

AllGamer
09-16-2002, 10:55 AM
yeah... :D

i doubt i'll need to buy the full game with this wonderful demo ;)

Runs at just above acceptable (24fps) rates on mine at 1024x768... reducing Ansiotropy works wonders too regarding frame rates although it looks dog without it :(

--Jakk:t

AllGamer
09-16-2002, 12:14 PM
noooooo wayyyyyyy i get way more than that

Whats your system spec?

Bigjakkstaffa
09-16-2002, 12:35 PM
1.33 /1.4ghz Athlon tbird (ive only been arsed to o/c up to 1.4 - never had the time to do anything serious with it)

512mb SDRAM
Gf4 ti4200
30gb Useries 5 5400RPM
80gb IBM deskstar 7200 RPM

...i figured it would be faster too :(

man my HDD are 5400
and i have the ATI 8500 stock

but the only place that might differ i have the XP 2000+
and the 2 Gig of RAM

maybe that's the difference :confused:

Bigjakkstaffa
09-16-2002, 01:01 PM
Perhaps, although i always have 400mb of RAM spare or aroudn that mark, before going into a game... then again it is SDRAM :(

--Jakk:t

AllGamer
09-16-2002, 01:15 PM
hmm... but that's only a impact of 15%
between SD RAM and DDR RAM

--Jakk:t yeah, i thought my box would run it at 60 FPS too. for the most part, it does (at highest resolution) but on the outdoor level for deathmatch and teamdeathmatch, with 16 bots, things get ind of slow. could it be the drivers?
im using the Detonator 40.41 XP ones for my GeForce 4 Ti 4400

Bigjakkstaffa
09-17-2002, 11:07 AM
Was runnign okay last night after a fresh reboot - still massive variations in rates though, anywhere from 19 - 60 FPS :eek:

Bigjakkstaffa
09-17-2002, 03:59 PM
I think maybe's the lack of CPU power is the bottlneck at 1024x768 32bpp... you reckon i could get a 1.33 tbird up to say 1.55/1.6 ghz :confused: even more relevant... would it help :(

oh my this game is great, bombing run is so cool, i'm running all graphics maxed and 1600x1200 resolution with a nice steady fps... speaking of that... anyboyd know how to draw the fps in ut2003? i cant figure it out

GO ATI!

Bigjakkstaffa
09-17-2002, 04:42 PM

--As for the FPS counter

PS check out the link to the patch i posted in my other thread - thats gianed me a couple of FPS's and it apparently sorts out some of this server commotion :confused:
