Edit: That's a UT3 map, btw.

Thanks for the link, it's a very beautiful map indeed.

I'm pretty sure most of you already know these maps, but I recently discovered them, 100% awesomeness and beauty:





EDIT: Carbon, what's your "Post Processing" setting in UT3?

Nice shots Jimmy. I know the map, but can't recall the name...?

My UT3 settings are discussed here, further down on page one and through page 2. You can also see more before/after screenshots there as well.

If any necessary links don't work, let me know and I have also stopped using re-shade since that post. It slowed down the system too much for little benefit that .ini tweaks could manage alone. In-game, the setting is "Vivid", but with the Blossom mutator and the .ini changes, it looks colorful, but I wouldn't describe it as vivid. Blossom not only clears away the haze but also makes the bloom more reasonable and re-saturates the look without being over the top.

-MERGED-

I see what you did there. Nice.

Dude, really?

It's a fact, "intense" Post Processing setting is pure evil Thanks for the info, it's quite useful
BTW, those UT99 maps are: CTF-Mysis & DM-EmberTemple (a couple of beauties).

CTF-Mysis is an old map of mine.
I'm glad someone is enjoying it, thanks.

The other, DM-EmberTemple, I have never seen it, but it looks very interesting.
I may check it out later on.

I made a UTDMT edit of it, the version with the extra redeemers.

Nope...fake news, didn't happen.

Carbon wrote:History has been kind to the game in a sense. Today, it's a beauty and with the right mods, it retains the great core game play but with all off the vaseline cleaned from the lens. There are a huge number of great maps for the game around, with new ones still being made but people like Moloch and Skaa3z.

I think what turned many people away from UT3 was that it had to be fixed by the players while UT and UT2kx only had to be expanded. It became a great game when the community managed to sort it out, but it suffered at launch.
I understand you're tired of hearing the same complaints, but I think all fans of the series (UT99 fans apart, maybe) had to endure complaints about their favourite specimen. UT2kx also came under fire, although I feel like negative views have become more vocal with time.

Sure, and I'm not telling anyone anything by saying that; just commenting, that's all. You may be right in a sense about the fans 'fixing' the game (though it implies something was broken), but I liked it from the start and while it wasn't a resounding success, it did receive quite good reviews from critics with the negatives being just that it doesn't really innovate. Most of the current retro-criticism is about graphics and art style which to me is missing the point of the game and that makes me re-assert that I found UT3 to be a much closer successor to UT than 2K3/4 from a gameplay point of view.

@Ferali: the screenshots show what UT3 is, not could have been. Just needs fresh eyes and an open mind, my friend.

Anyhoo, this is a Coke/Pepsi thing so back to the screenies. For fun.

Gotta say I'm amused, and very happy, that shortly after I announced I won't be posting screenshots for awhile a bunch of you have started posting more.

Very cool!

Nice to see someone other than me using the Superman skin, though my use is for edits mainly:

team colors

I've been toying with combining it with the War Machine skin to make a Superman robot.

Unfortunately Grins, my shots are far less fun than yours. You're UT is much more modded than mine and I tend to take shots for looks above action. I'm frankly stoked about how sweet UT looks at such a high resolution, so it's kind of reinvigorated me to revisit the game(s) a bit more. I've been hooked on Quake Champions lately!

But yeah, we have to pick up the pace if your going to hang back a bit!

Silverbacks only seem scary until you realize they have virtually no health at all.

Still don't have access to my computer, but I'm getting bored so here's some of my randomness...



























































...did I say "some"? I meant a lot!

Should the worst come to pass and I don't get my system back, at least I had a good run.

So my copy of UT officially carked it today. And now I'm slowly losing my rationality. With every second I feel like I'm becoming the second coming of Kaal979.

Anyway, here's one last dump.

Whatever it is, it can't be that bad.
