Shit? its the same game as ut2003 with pad instead of a keyboard, unless u think ut2003 is shit aswell?

UC is a big pile of wank. It may be the same game as UT2003, but UT2003 does *always* run with an atrocious framerate.

The controls suffer from not having just that *tiny* little bit of autoaim you have in Halo.

You see UC and see just how outstandingly good Halo is in every possible way

Yeah Halo is a lot better than UC without a doubt, I wouldn't say UC is a big pile of wank its just not as good as it should of been.

UC is deeply flawed, that is clear.

Hmm what xbox live game should I get next Mech Assault of Ghost Recon?

Post by **mid_gen** » Wed Jan 08, 2003 7:29 pm

Tricky one. Mech Assault is a typical MS game. Very well done and a good polished product, it just lacks something.

Multiplayer is a tedium of holding your crosshair over the enemy mech and spamming your fire buttons unfortunately.

Ghost Recon is a better bet (even though I haven't played it) I can see how it would work much better than any of the other Xbox Live games atm. Plus Ghost Recon on PC was class

Yeah I'm leaning towards Ghost Recon. Shall give it a try in the shop tomorrow.

Well, yes. Set your server speed to 70%, and it becomes a lot better game. I cained through the single player in about an hour, played some multiplayer, got bored. Like Quake3, it's a lovely techdemo... but not much of a game. Give me Natural Selection's gameplay over UT2k's graphics any day.

That's the weird RTS hybrid HL mod yah?

That's the one. One of the best game styles ever
