My beef with UT2k4

I love Ut2k4, it has a whole lot of crap in it, but what I don't like is that a lot of that crap isn't explained in the manual or in tooltips or anything. For instance, does anyone know what the special combat abilities are when you turn on the mutator Species Statistics?

I don't know them offhand, but you can find them on the unrealtournament.com and planetunreal.com forums.

We should have a Massassi UT2K4 night. Would be lots of fun [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

Heh, sounds like a fun competition may be at hand. Can anyone host a server that we can play on? I have a spare PC, but my connection is limited as far as uploading data goes.

We should try to get a MassONS going, or at least a few instagib games. Anyone interested?

Im in the same boat, I usually finish top 4 or 5 on my team, although in onslaught I usually do alot worse because I concentrate on piloting the raptor, and its difficult to get individual kills. (Lots of air to air combat, lots of taking out nodes)

You get points for taking out nodes, fish [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]

I fly the Raptor like a Manta, road kills left right and center.

This is the most kills I could find, total score for the game was 217:

I can't stand Onslaught mode. It's just a very poorly implemented ripoff of PlanetSide.

I used to believe that we must fight the future, lest change come without our consent. I was wrong. The truth is that we must embrace the future, for only with change can we remain the same.

Does anyone know which ports need to be opened for the game? I'm getting generally laggy online play on every server and think this might be the cause.

As far as I remember you keep it focused on one spot and hold fire. You've got to stay still I think.

Gotta be an open area, cant have it targetted under an overhand or building or anything. Generally nodes are out in the open, so if you target a node directly it should work.
