UT2004: Hooked/Onslaught/Bonus
Well its been a few days now and I am totally hooked on Unreal Tournament 2004. The maps (- the AS one) are fast and fun. Only reason I exclude that one is it played really slow on my computer, ~20fps avg. Do able yes but not as fun if it was more fluid during play. The vehicles are a great addition to the game and add a lot to it, giving it a more polished feel than if they were not present.
That said, Onslaught (ONS) is awesome to play. Great teamwork mod and with the various vehicles it is a blast to play. I am still learning some of the finer mechanics of the UT2003/4 gameplay but its still very gradifying even with my less than stellar skill level. The AVRiL weapon is one I am liking more and more as I learn its do/dont features.
One sad this is that my game browser of choice: All-Seeing Eye is lacking support for the demo, however theres a way to trick it into find said servers and connecting to them.
Ripped from another site (link):
Ok, just read and follow the directions below carefully and you can use the All Seeing Eye to find great games in UT2k4. (And be rid of some of the bugs in the in-game browser)
First, - if you have UT2003 into ASE, go to Tools/Options/Games/Installed games/Unreal Tournament 2003 and replace the UT2003 .exe with the UT2004 .exe. (Just click the browse button and navigate to where you installed UT2k4Demo (by default: C:\UT2004Demo\System\UT2004.exe))
Or... if you don't have UT2003 into ASE, go to Tools/Options/Games/Not installed and choose UT2003, then point it to the UT2k4 exe as shown above.
Now simply right click in the left hand pane (where are the folders are) on a blank area and choose "New...". This will open up a new filter editor window.
In the Name field, just put "UT2004 Demo" (without the quotes)
In the big blank box under it, cut and paste the following:
1 if map == "ONS-Torlan" goto 7
2 if map == "AS-Convoy" goto 7
3 if map == "CTF-BridgeOfFate" goto 7
4 if map == "DM-Rankin" goto 7
5 if map == "BR-Colossus" goto 7
6 remove
Leave all the rest of the options alone and simply click on OK. You'll then see the folder you created in your Filters tree on the left. Simply highlight it and hit the ASE refresh at the top of the screen. You'll have all the servers!!
Frag on!
