Glad I posted this, though, since (almost) everyone seems to be having a blast. I don't think I've ever been this obsessed with a just a DEMO before lol

the last demo, i truly thought was WWZERS was the heretic demo from ID software.. we played it for well over a year, AS IS till we finally stumbled across the full version in the stores.

The greatest demo for me was the original Worms demo, I played that for over a year since ironically the game never came out over where I lived.

You have neither played nor had any in-depth experience with HL2, and yet you feel it necessary to break down and cry whenever you hear its name, spouting ignorant and nonsensical 'facts' at every turn.

oh, hey, at least you didn't call me a 'c**t' this time!

Shall I then, Lord Jinx? [addsig]

I don't get what his problem is. He takes everything so seriously, attacks me personally... and most of what I said about HL2 in this thread wasn't that negative, I WANT HL2 how many time do I have to freaking say it?! I'm just a bit more skeptical is all, and I'm not building it up to be the freaking second coming.

Just leave me the hell alone and stop being a jerk ffs .

[edit] am I really as bad as he says?! I'm sorry if I am, I'll try to stop... :/

Any chance of the Snark Pit adding UT2k4?

Since UT2004 is so similar to its predessecor, I can't imagine that many people looking for new editing sites for it - most will go to the existing UT2003 websites. As such I can't imagine this site becoming popular for UT games, but that said I've been wrong more than right in the past

I still think it would be good to add support though, at LEAST for maps.

Anyone know when the full version will be released? Oh and a good editor for UT?

The newest version of UnrealEd (the official, and as far as I know, ONLY UT editor) will ship with the game, although if you have UT2003 then look on the third disk and it will be there I believe, if it isn't installed by default.

I believe the release date is sometime in March here in Europe.

to my knowledge, UnrealED is always installed by default.

if you have any full version installed, look for the big green "U"

i reflect reno's thoughts on Unreal support, no "new" members will arrive, or few maybe.. but i would love to see some room for our own products.. unrealed is cumbersome, but no one can doubt its associated with a wonderful engine.

Few interesting points raised..

Halo - fairly groundbreaking with its vehicle inclusion, but tbh they handled like crap and were boring, unversatile lumps. in fact that whole game is a clunky non-descript mess.

UT - certainly isnt good enough to be released with such frequency, they should spend less time trying to encamp on an area which Tribes has already done a thousand times better. building on what they had from the original unreal tournament is the way forward, add more SP elements and so forth..

unrealed - im not sure if it installs by default all the time orph, at least on the orginal anyhow..

There is an option to install development tools with every Unreal game. I don't think that really counts as default, but it's definately there on the CD with all of them. [addsig]

Halo rocks, and its vehicles are vastly superior to the ones found in UT2004 in my opinion. The one downside is there aren't enough of them, on the Xbox version at any rate, with only 3 different ones available to use (no banshee?!?!?!). Admittedly I've not played the PC version but on the Xbox the vehicles handle like a dream - popping wheelies with the ghost and jumping onto the roofs of bases, or powersliding the warthog to slide into 2 battling enemies and steal both kills. UT2004 just doesn't have these physics simulated nearly as well, but I feel it makes up for this by the variety of the vehicles. Fingers crossed Halo 2, with its Xbox Live support and much wider vehicle selection, will make a great game that much greater. [addsig]

i have every version of unreal made.. bought them all.. *stop glaring its true*

all have installed UnrealEd by default, but with some versions it wasn't mediately apparent, you had to look inside another folder or two.

i am almost positive on this, but there is room for enough doubt that the possibility exists.. i do not know how the UK or french or german or any non-US version installs.

My version that came with ut2003 screws the brightness on my Monitor, only fixable by exiting UTEditor. [addsig]
