03/02/2006 What to do with the release of Unreal Tournament III (UT2007) coming?

I will have to add 3 cents (inflation ya know)

I play here and only here. It was the first server I ever joined and love it. UT2007 is very impressive. I have seen and read anything I have found on the content, release and reviews and am very impressed. But I love how DC is set up. I'm sure I will buy the new version, which may force an upgrade or 2, but I will continue with 04 as long as it's here.

I just cant wait untill Epic actually opens their 07 website beyond the static logo page. Then we all can start to drool. I have my bib. Do you?

I think I should be able to run 2K7 on low to medium settings and if I need to upgrade something I should be able to.

That being said the invasion gametype has been the best experience of my UT playing days. I think I would always stick around 2K4 until the 2K7 DC server was up and running. That being said I'm likely to pick up 2K7 when it is released and I may dabble with DM and some LG Instagib CTF.

Ill get UT2k7 when its released (provided i have that new comp ive been aching for by then). However, ill still play ut2k4 for DC.

My 2 cents. Yes I believe I will buy 2007. I have been following this release since early on. It is now pushed back to actualy first half 2007, but they are talking about getting a demo out before XMAS.

This will be good and that way I can see how slow it will run on my puter. Let's assume my pc runs fine, the truth is I would go back to CTF which I can honestly say I am better at and cross the fingers to see if anyone ports the invasion over.

I agree that will be a huge task. The quality of the graphics alone is going up 1500 times greater then the current.

Now if I find my computer lagging a fair amount, then I stay on DC and save my cash and hopefully by the time the full release is out, I would have a new puter.

Ok there is my 2 cents.

After the release, we now have sufficient hardware and bandwidth to cover running both simultaneously. As long as there's continued community interest and support, we'll keep the 2k4 server running.

Right on! Thanks again for all you guys do!

Just reading this on Wikipedia:

Gameplay
The following game modes have been confirmed[3]:

Deathmatch

Team Deathmatch

Capture the flag

Onslaught - Essentially a team deathmatch type of gameplay played on a huge map where the object is to destroy, capture and hold key power nodes. The gameplay is very similar to the conquest gametype of Battlefield 1942, however, after capturing key nodes you must destroy your enemy's power core. Vehicles are extremely critical in onslaught mode. This mode was introduced in UT2004.

Unreal Warfare (formerly known as Conquest) - New to UT2007, maps will be potentially as large as three Onslaught maps, and will have objectives similar to Assault maps. A limited form of resource management will exist in the form of tarydium mines or fields that must be captured; the more your team captures, the faster you can build vehicles and turrets, and the more bunkers you have the more tarydium you will need. Bunkers will possibly serve a similar purpose to power nodes in Onslaught. This type of gameplay mode was also in the game Command & Conquer: Renegade.

Unconfirmed game modes:

Vehicle Capture the Flag - Originally it was stated that there would be a separate gametype for Capture the Flag with vehicles, but it now appears as if that idea has been scrapped and vehicles will be included in Capture the Flag by default[3].
Invasion- A team of players holds off waves of creatures from the Unreal universe for as long as possible. Unlike UT2K3/UT2K4 invasion, which had the creatures ported straight from the original Unreal, Unreal Tournament 2007 will feature completely redesigned creatures made in Unreal Engine 3 [citation needed].

I don't see any verification at all for this. However, the good news is that Make Something Unreal will be run for UT2007. I absolutely guarantee that dollar signs will put the Invasion-minded community into action.

UT2007 looks great, but my compy would require a huge upgrade in order to run smoothly. Frankly, I'm quite happy with 2004 and don't plan on upgrading until I cave into peer pressure. If DC never stepped up to 2007 I would not shed a tear

i am going to buy '07, but im will still stay on this server
im not so sure how well my computer will run with '07 but as long is this server is up i'll be here.
im more of an invasion player so im dissappointed to hear that '07 doesnt have it.

Last I heard, the invasion issue had not been settled as yet. However, I may be behind in the latest updates.

I'm sure someone can make an invasion mod or something for UT2007.

I guarantee you 100% that there will be an invasion mod for UT07 if it isn't built into the game. How and when are up in the air, but it will be done.

I will also buy ut 2007 but I will stay with DC and whatever you want to do. This is the best server I have ever died on!javascript:emoticon('
