Rocket Arena

Post by campos »

Does anyone plays rocket arena??

It's great! My favourite style!


You start with armor and all the weapons fully loaded!

You can choose to play in diferent groups of maps!

In this style you can't kill yourself and that means you can fire to the ground to give you a boost!

You win a match after winning two rounds!

I know it very well, more interesting as LMS.
A longer time ago I thought about to make a map for it with my favorite theme (jungle ^^).
But I am not sure, if anybody else is mapping for that gametyp. I would wonder about it.

You start with armor and unlimited rockets!***


Yeah it's a cool game type and takes alot of skill in low gravity to be able to aim it and time it right.

The rockets are not unlimited! You start with 48 (fully weapon loaded)!

And there's not gravity in most of the maps!
You can choose if you wanna play or not with gravity! :)

I remember playing a lot of RA around 2000/2001 when UT was at it's peak. However most servers quickly had to change the rules in order to balance the gameplay, e.g. you would start sniper ammo with I think 5 bullets and only 50 ammo for minigun.

Are most ra server still like this now? Since reinstalling UT I need to download so useless server specific packs like new skins/voices I just gave up:(

your weapon settings would be server side...

thats not controlled by the gametype... so where one server gives you unlimited ammo for the Rocket another might just fill up your ammo and leave it at that...

You have all the weapons in Rocket Arena but people always use the Sniper Rifle, Shock Rifle and Rocket Launcher!

So there are still some players who play this gametype? I was already sure about its death.

rockets are way too easy to dodge unless you wait 5 seconds for a lock-on. not my idea of fun.
