weapons:

The grenade launcher is the one thing I've been missing in UT2K3 and this one fills the void and fits into the current arsenal. Nothing but praise on this one.

The mine launcher. ah, the proxies. They are Chaos for me personally, the rest is bonus. The firemines are cool 2, I was wondering if the ammo should be more limited but I read that the mines are easily destroyed, I still have to see the details but I'll trust you on this one :)

The Crossbow. Still going strong. Only thing I dislike is the alternative alternate fire, I'll go into this one more with the rocket launcher

Vortex. COOL ('nuff said)

The CUTTER. haven't used it that much but I like the feel. the firespeed makes for a little less spammy tactics. I like it so far

The ERDW. hmmmm........ I can't get excited about this one for some reason. But it's a railgun and I never liked the looks of those. I'll grow to love it eventually.

The Sniper. I'm probably one of the few that understands why the lightning gun was made. I'll get used to it though.

The Chaotic rocket launcher thingy.
You know why I dislike this. Back in UT I could play maps designed for Chaos and get almost everything without the mutator switching with normal UT. Here's hoping for a weapon like the Unreal Mission packs Rocket Launcher which had laserguided for an alternitve fire.

The Armor Shards. I liked the old CUT look better but nothing else I can complain about.

The rest I'll let you know once I try it out.

about the sniper: when you are holding it, everyone can see where the laser dot is. So if you have an attentive opponent it can give you away worse than the LG. Also if you aim for a headshot they get a warning in their HUD =)

also when playing last man standing or using the arena mutator you'll only get basic ammo for multi ammo weapons

i know. There is one level that ive played on that hasnt been released yet where there was two weapons so far, a sniper and a grenade launcher. the bots loved the sniper and you would see tons of dots all over the level
