It's not much, but it really bugs me that everytime I spawn, I always have the melee weapon out rather than my sidearm. I have tried moving all melee weapons to the top and the bottom, and they still show up over the sidearms.

What gives? =(

PS: Also, I can't seem to see anything in the Weapon Details and Gallery of the "Ballistic Weapons" section of this site. =|

Shouldn´t you guys finish that section maybe after 1.7 has been released? It would be fun to read the backgrounds of the weapons, it is easier that way than in the game´s weapon list. :)

well that also brings up the fact that whenever you have one weapon and you pick up another say, you have the machinegun than you pick up the shotgun it will swtich to the shotgun unless you are firing the machinegun, their should be some poirity to the weapon switching!

I agree, it is kind of annoying when I have a good gun and it gets switched for the skrith sidearm for example. :S

Yeah, the skrith is quite dominant... :lol:

The skrith sidearm is useless, I need to empty the magazine to give the enemy a reason to use a bandage...

Ok, the spawning with a melee weapon out bug is now gone for v1.7!
We're also going to make the skrith sidearm a bit more useful...
Pickup switching? As far as I know, it's supposed to give you whatever you picked up no matter how crap. Thats the way it was in UT, right? I don't know, I always have it switched off... We could look into it and make it only switch if you pick up a better weapon...

In UT it only switches when there is a new gun or a better, I think it is configurable.

In UT you set yout weapom priority in the weapon list. If you have switch on pick-up checked, it will only swith to a BETTER weapon.

Not neccesarily the better gun.
You can control the priority list so if you put an Assault Rifle as a higher priority than the Flak Cannon, then it switches from the Flak upon pickup.

Isn't that exactly what I just said?????? Maybe I should have specified what you "personaly" consider the better gun, but I thought setting the priority meant that.

No, I´d specify the best gun by most damage per second, and the gold medal goes to the Link Gun or the Flak Cannon, maybe the Rocket Launcher.
Priority and preference are two very different words btw. ;)

i really hate the ut guns..............


no style what so ever.

I don´t hate them, I just think they suck ass.
Lame sound effects, the look of them is like they were taken out of a platform game for kids. Plus the projectiles they shoot look cartoony, espcially the link gun´s projectiles.

ahahahah.. yeah the stock guns do suck, and thats why we made this mod.. the projectiles suck, the sounds suck, and the whole feel is so "floaty" or whatever:)

And you answered the prayers of many players. :)
I only use custom weapons in UT2004, mainly BW, sometimes Weapons of Evil and Arkon Weapons.

Those are also nice weapon packs. :D

I'm sure everyone knows, but there're still problems with spawning with the melee weapon out D:

Yeah, you tend to forget about the worst guns in the FPS history and remember one of the greatest ones like BW.

To Epic's credit, UT2k4's weapons were fun for a while but...Ballistics appeals to me so much more, and are much cleaner and functional.

UT2004 weapons are cartoony and silly. UT2003/4 are more in the platform jumping games for kids rather than hardcore shooters genre.
:S

And to back up my opinion: Dodging, double jumping, a minigun that makes no sense in design, assault rifle less effective than a pee-shooter, and I can go on and on.
