So today I tried Unreal Tournament and holy shit. Old is new!
Everything is the same as in '99.

Not everything, but yes it does have a very similar feel to it for sure.

Everything isnt the same as in '99, theres quite a few new things in this game that werent in 99, like wall-dodging, wall sliding, and more. Either way i kind of prefer things not being exactly the same anyway, though being similar (which it is) is good.
Honestly I'm having trouble going back to playing 2k4 after playing UT4
Single tap walldodge is way better than double tap, and i love the slide
Wait - there's a wall dodge?
This explains why my character would occasionally fly across the room.
Also UT99 is a fair bit slower and weighter compared to 2k4 and, well, 4. Even with the game speed and air control cranked up.

I dunno, I really miss the doublejump/dodgejump

While the slide and wallrunning is an awesome addition, I was really disappointed when I wasn't able to double jump, also I really enjoyed the maneuverability that existed in 2k4, it felt faster to me.
But I am really liking UT4 at the moment, even though it's only a pre-alpha, honestly I can't wait to see what the released game will bring. I am also hoping they'll make some amazingly architectured ancient-egyptian themed maps, loved those egyptian themed maps in 2k4.
on a side note, anyone knows if they're planning to bring back the assault game mode?

Thankfully modders may be able to easily bring back UT2k4 movements combined with the new mobility, I know some earlier mods did it.

My hype just skyrocketed.

Funny thing is UT2004's jumping mechanics were also backported into a mod for UT99.
good god UT4 is so much fun. I can't wait until we really start seeing more mods and shit come out.
I'm having quite a bit of fun with the alpha at the moment even though I'm awful at it - my only prior experience is UT99 against bots many years ago.
How should I deal with people who rapidly move from left to right and people who rapidly spam their translocator?
Also: I like how spamming ready off-and-on causes your "ready" text to flash rainbow colours.
tbh I never really liked what the double jump did to 2k4, even though I liked using it, every single map's size was inflated because of it so it made the game feel a lot slower to me.
The most i used it for was dodge jumping to go faster, but in UT4 if you dodge and slide it kind of accomplishes the same thing anyway, and we don't have all these oversized maps.
Finding 8 new posts in this thread is like finding gold considering how minimal activity in this thread tends to be.
-snip dumb rant, should probably skip out on the season cosmetics and wait untill the game is more or less out of alpha-
Is there a list of stuff that you need to do to get some cosmetics? I assume you have to complete all the challenges on hard and play multiplayer a lot?

new maps look fucking rad by the way, I like where this game is going

From what I see the main site of unreal tournament shows what you need to do to get items if you go to customize character and hover over the items
This new Unreal Tournament has a nice start so far.
Could someone explain me how people are able to kill me with insta-Gib Rifle from 1000 meters?
This weapon has no zoom... right?

If you mean online, there's no doubt that some people on there are extremely good from years of playing UT, although I don't hear anyone ranting about cheaters so who knows
If you're facing bots, they'd still snipe you from a mile away

I noticed that you unlock new cosmetics as you level up.
Edit: Ah here is the page that shows what you unlock when you level up and complete challenges.

Not saying I've met cheaters but how they can kill me so fast?
I barely see a target on the other side of the map. He seems to see me very clearly (zoom?)
Is leveling up only done through online matches, or do custom matches count too? My connection sucks for gaming, so I'm never online.
you're probably moving very predictably and playing against someone who is very skilled. Considering it's a perfectly accurate hit scan weapon, hitting a small target isn't very unfeasible.

You can level up offline via "Create Match".
i think my game is bugged, i cant do the ctf training
my game fucks up after every offline match so I have to restart. lol
where's the fifth token on the basic training for deathmatch?
i only found the two on top of the rocks, the one on the wooden beam, and the one suspended in midair inside the center building
also the ctf training is broken for everyone

On the top of the reedemer tower. Take a look.
Also, the CTF challenge/training thingy is apparently broken due to the fact that the developers forgot to include it... atleast, that's what I've heard from the official forums.

They already did, the problem is that the maps were designed around the UT4 movement mechanics so having UT2k4 mechanics would break them
