Looks really weird, no big 'UT feel' to this one IMHO. I guess I will continue to keep my weapon hidden for IG.
In action:
Look at the length of the thing that guy (in the background) is holding! Even longer than the UT2K3 model.

Yes, that gun is lame and is way to long. I was hoping that wasent the shock riffle i saw in the screen shots of the game, but i guess it was.

It's basically the combination of the old-style shock rifle and the new-style shock rifle. I think it looks awesome, and it looks even better on the video

Weapon looks sexy... but i hid eall my weapons :'(
ANyone know when 2007 is suppose to hit stores? i cant wait... i never really got to exericne 2k4 when it was really popular, and i want to expericne 2007 as soon as it hits stores so i can play it when its really active.

Agreed Odigil, the intent is surely to look more like UT... but the length seems a bit overdone and it is a little too polished to my taste.
I don't see how they merged the old and new look into this new version. The milkman must have something to do with this bastard child!

They made Malcolm look too old. They should have wasted him by now or put him in a rocket powered wheelchair...at least a mechanical prothesis and a one patch. Oh yea the shock rifle, pretty long wonder if we'll trip ove it?

Don't fix something that's not broken...applies to the old gib. Original is the best

It's still a riddle for me why they replaced plasma projectiles with simple lazer beam in 2k3. Only reasonable answer is that weapon coder did not play original game.

Is it true that they won't have the double jump in 2k7??

If they ruin this game like they ruined 2003 I will be so pissed.

Yep, no more double jump... which is not a bad thing IMHO. So this should mean no more double jump, no more 2nd jump in mid-air after a dodge or wall-dodge. Who came up with the idea 'brilliant' idea of having to press a key twice (double jump) to reach the maximum height of a jump?
They are also supposed to modify the wall dodge, not clear what this will translate into. We had to relearn some routes on maps when we came to UT2K4... it will happen again. Unfortunately it meant that some maps that used to be fun became boring... and the opposite was true as well.
I guess Epic's target is to make the game more accessible and easy to master... and to make it easier to play on consoles controllers where they see a big part of their future revenue channel.
