Name: DM-Acquisition

Version: Beta

Compatibility: UT3 v1.2

Description: This is the beta version of DM-Acquisition, test the crap out of it.

Comments: There are a few (lack of) collision issues, but nothing that will harm gameplay at the moment. If anyone can find any real problems with collision, sticky areas, whatever, let me know. There are no sounds in the map, will get to that next. Bots still don't use the lifts correctly, I totally overlooked that, but otherwise they should be fine. Menu integration will obviously come later when its final. Any feedback welcome as usual, thanks.

Yea the single player sucks -- just avoid it.Mapping for Multiplayer is what matters.

fixed

I take it this is separate from the fully 3d "next-gen" version...

Only 1024x1024?

Pre-rendered shadows?! Call me an ignorant, but I had never hear such thing before! How come the shadows be pre-rendered?!

Prebaked lightmaps and global illumination...

Call of Duty 4!

Thats pretty much it really...

Veh nice.

Looks hot indeed, about 100 degrees hotter than it should be.

Looks very nice, I'm a big fan of rundown industrial-ish arenas.

Almost makes me want to reinstall Quake 4.. almost.

Well, at least it looks better than the Quake 4 edition.

Glowing, mushroom eating cave-spiders plz. thx

btw spoilers

Finished the game last night. Funnily enough, my favourite level by far was the Core mission. I had the music switched off completely (didn't like the music in the game at all), so it was really atmospheric and quite creepy. Reminded me a lot of Alien or... Sunshine, i guess. Good stuff.

The boss fight before that with Cpt.Korea was probably one of the most retarded boss fights in videogame history. All he did was stand up on his little raised platform, fire up his minigun anytime he got me in his line of sight, and mostly missed. Then he took at least 300 SMG bullets and 10 sniper bullets to the face before dying (I counted). Dumb.

...

The tank mission frustrated me to no end. I died and reloaded at least 50 times before getting past one point. In the end I just got out of the tank and finished the mission on foot.

After the first few levels I was thinking, "god, please let there be something more interesting to do than disabling radar things and AA guns". But that didn't happen until the Koreans got killed off, and by that point there were only 3 levels left (the three best levels I might add, minus the one where you're flying the aircraft to the carrier). The open-ended nature of the missions was kinda boring to me, since none of the objectives seemed very worthwhile or fun. The predator-like jungle fights with Koreans were good fun, the first few times...

Things like destructible trees, destructible buildings, some of the set-pieces, guns, combat, etc, were probably the best things about the game. And of course it looked great most of the time.

I'll give it a 3.5/5
