Now I can't wait to try this out. In 11 minutes, I shall and report back. Can't say that I expect anything better than ChaosUT2's first release. Hopefully the new weapons add a new spice to the game.

GO CHAOSUT2 TEAM!

Congrats on making a mod that finally includes my favorite weapon class; melee. Not that guns aren't nice but cold hard steel is just so much more personal. Just finished downloading the update. I'll be back with any bugs I find.

One word, AWESOME! Everything is so cool! Only thing I don't like is how we can't use swords with guns and stuff. Also there was only one level, which is lame, but it was so much fun to play. Trying to cut off different limbs different times. I like the megaton hammer(zelda geek here) myself, position it right and you can head shot them!

Great going team!

Well, I am downloading it right now but I am thinking that the map pack #2 has more duelling maps.

gamer119 · Post by **gamer119** » Mon Dec 01, 2003 3:31 am

There are 11 more maps in Mappack #2

I'm downloading it right now. If this is compatible with UT2003RPG, I'm gonna have a fun time killing people with Katana +4

Oh theres a map pack that goes with this? My fault!

Thanks for the kind words.

Actually, you can, by using our new 'Mappers Choice' feature. You can choose 4 weapon modes, and Mappers Choice is one of them. I think it says "Map" in the drop down menu under the game rules section.

Then, it just depends on what map you play. Many of them have a mix of melee and non-melee weapons.

I tired it with ut2k3rpg (and had a katana plus 4 lol) but it crashed at one point. It gave the same error that I got with that kakuto 120% kung fu mut. (It might be ut2k3rpg causing the prob or might not… dunno)

So far not bad, some of the sounds where a little too heavy for some of the weapons, like when they hit the ground (duel daggers, probably others). Some of the animations I think could be better (of course you guys probably already know that) then again you'd probably need your own custom models for that or something.

For example, the lunging animation should have part of the characters torso/arms.... lunging out a bit along with the legs bent forward looking as if he was about to dash. (Like in jk when you do that rolling forward lunge attack, but standing) Then again there are probably differen't ways you can do a lunge so.....

I get the same horizontal strike going right to left, while moving left or right. Instead of getting a horizontal strike going left to right while moving left and a horizontal strike going right to left while moving right or vice versa. (Now I know that was confusing lol)

edit: I've only noticed this with the battle axe.... I have to check again. edit: nvm

Anyway overall good stuff so far! love the models/skins the war hammer is my favorite skin/model. The intro duel announcer is a nice touch; the death cam is also a nice touch, love the maps. In any case am more then sure there is a lot more stuff I missed.

I downloaded PR2 and the new map pack, but when I choose duel, I only have 1 map available, I've double checked, and both the PR2 and map pack are installed, but no maps listed for the Duel game type that I can find anywhere aside from the one that shows up in the list.

am I doing something wrong or did I miss a map pack or something?
