Why does every new player in this game automatically think that people are modding when they get killed?
I'm not in a league with any of the top players in this game in duel (as my 4000ish rank succinctly points out). I seem to be average to below average in vctf and warfare among the people I see in those games, and I am way below average in regular ctf.
But then in DM and TDM (esp TDM) I hold my own just fine.
Lately, I've been getting all sorts of messages in-game from not-so-good players claiming that I'm cheating them? I came here to see if there actually was some sort of cheat that existed, because I didn't think it was possible on the 360 without getting your console banned.
But I was like, seriously? Me cheating? I guess it's a backhanded compliment to the fact that I killed them as easy as I did, but there are people here who know that if they hop into a game, I'll hold my own in a DM or TDM, but I'm certainly killable, and don't demonstrate any skills out of the ordinary. Like I play with Khesire sometimes, and he doesn't always outkill me in TDM, but he kicks the daylights out of me in duel.
I host a lot of the games I play, but that's usually for a couple reasons: 1. the only available game in the mode I want to play has a low gravity modifier 2. the only available games are boards that I really hate like sanctuary or gateway 3. I'm practicing something and want a specific board 4. the only available games have too many modifiers
But it's really sad that people who are just generally green to this game think they are better than they are and cry about modding.
@exile yea it sounds pretty cool, almost on ps3's hardware level now.. im thinkin im just gonna cheap out an get an arcade though. all my xbox data is on a 32gb USB stick and i really only played a handfull of games. kindle ready means nothing to me.. it might be a cool party trick thing but i dont care lol. also i too was hard wired.. actually i have a logitech play link. 2 lil recievers with a 100ft range.. no setup or software. plug one into pc on into box.. good to go.
@light if i took 15 151 jello shots the mess on the floor would def be a biohazard lol
i really think its funny that the most active thread seen on this forum yet was started by some nameless sore loser lmao
Thanks Exile. i expected so. this community is still amazing, despite the occasional troll, thanks to players like you guys. glad to see this awesome game has a matching community, and to see that unreal is still alive and well.
Lights: Yeah, I played for a couple hours yesterday and didn't see you either. Todayyyyy however, you were totally off the hook. Whew.
Yelling biohazard after a bio-shot, lmfao. Nice!
Oh!! and Chaos? I forgot to mention the built-in WiFi on the new sleek. Probably it's best selling point---but I'm hard-lined in so I didn't think of it in my review. ;)
I appreciate the kind words fellas, thanks. I played 3 games with PUBLIC NME 1 in regular dm around a week ago. He's tough to beat, lost to him all 3 times. 2 games were really close (lost by 1 and 2 kills) and the other got beat pretty handily. I've been playing a lot recently in both dm servers and have run into a lot good players. Some worth mentioning that haven't yet been named are: MAnd|brOT SeT -- incursionlvl1, MATT MCCLEAD, El Colostomizer, Crazee W3lshman, ginger700, AlignedEcko1972.. all are great players. PrinceSkyGod and furyofman and pretty good as well. I don't remember playing Kheshire or chaostwofivetwo but I was inactive from december through june.
@Exile - I really am glad you decided to stay on xbox or I might have just sold mine. I must have missed you today, I got up way too early to wake n bake with one of my mates and wound up sleeping through most of the day.
@chaos - if you manage to down 15 gel shots, don't forget to yell "BIOHAZARD!"
@Chaos.... Lime Jello and 151. YUM!!! I think we have an official UT3 drink. Maybe a splash of lemeon juice for an extra bit of color?
I shall keep my eyes peeled for Mr. PUBLIC NME 1. The name sounds vaguely familiar, but I may have just seen it on the leaderboards. I do try to play different times of day, but alas my work schedule is pretty harsh. Been moving to the evenings as of late, as I've been finding more players as the sun goes down. I'll look for cux66, too.
As for functionality, aside from the neat touch buttons (and timed drawer-close) the sleek really doesn't "feel" any different. I don't think we'll have to worry about the rrod on this----it's ALL fans, all the way around it. It's also remarkably quiet by comparison. Out of the box the basic sleek comes with: 1 controller (+2 Duracell), 1 headset, 1 Console, 1 power cord (seems same as last), 1 a/v connecter.
As an aside: this version is "Kinetic" ready... which will be a $140 addon later. There's some other slight differences, but nothing noteworthy.
Three things I didn't like:
I was disappointed that the a/v connection did not include the HD jacks. Looks the same as the old one though, so I may try those later.
No rechargeable battery pack or charge cord included. Wtf? I went straight back out and bought one---'cause there's no way I was going to use the white one on a black controller. LOL
They still haven't fixed the D-pad from that awful circular thing. Just awful to try using it for fighting games like tekken or Soul Calibur. Sony still owns on the controller. *shrug*
I almost went PS3 'cause I was so mad at M$----but looking at my games investments changed my mind. Was it worth it? Yeah, i have to admit it was. If only to still play UT3, L4D and the rest.
And hey, i know what you mean on the cash front. Go make us a bio-gel shot... we'll both feel better about it, lol.
@Rcky... Dude, you're totally insane. Unless I start upping my game, one day you're sure to be wiping the floor with me. I expect DuXxX will, too. And yeah, next to my being constantly texted, family interuption, or any of those people on the list above... I try to keep it so no one's name is ever above mine, lol. I like winning, damnit!! ;P
For now though.. I have to go see one Mr. lightsonthevibe. He's been trashing the hell out of me lately.
*pets the head of the little whiner-kid who disappeared after we took over his thread*
@ exile personally i prefer not to play low grav, not sure we have ever had a match that wasnt on low grav? My play time as of late has been cut due to the gf moving in 2-3 matches a day is as much as i can sneak in lately. Finally had my name above yours the other day,....you started half way through though... I told the gf you useually beat me by as much as i beat others next match you proved that fact
@xX Exile Xx try playing at different times of the day to find dif good players.. i think PUBLIC NME 1 was strictly regular DM as well. i remember having to change how i played cuz he camped the big powerups.. he was the only person i ever played that beat me by a ton of kills. but i eventually figured out his tricks :P
cux66 was also a cool dude. i played on his host quite a bit when excessive was empty
yea, new job. more $. gimmie a lil bit more time ill be back. how you like the sleek? worth it? and im totally gonna make some bio gel shots.. lime jello + 151?
Ohhhhhh SNAP! My name's in here like three times. I might be good someday.
@DuXxX:
Speaking for the 360 LG Dms... chaos's list is entirely accurate. Though I don't think I've ever played PUBLIC NME 1.
First Tier REGULAR players: BakingBread, chaostwofivetwo, smokestraw 85, lightsonthevibe, and Kheshire.
That list equals major Ouchies. The kind that make me want to curl up in bed and not look at my 360 for a week. I guess that's why I like them so much.
Other notables that will give you a good run for your money if you're not paying attention: RckyMtnDrgn, BarmyGenie, Redxan, EPHSidKgUyiJdk, TableTennisTurk, Equilibrium.
Most (not all) of the second tier guys will probably move up to the tier above it if they stay regular in LG DM and play out the rest of the year. You'll know which are which as you come across them. I say not all because a couple of those second tier guys were around before me and now they leave the match when I come in.
As for the "modding"? Don't let this little sissy-whiner-kid get you down, DuXxX. You're a strong competitor-----and you should damn well expect to continue to get reactions like this from players you toast. If I had a nickel for every nasty message in my inbox of someone calling me a cheat or just swearing at me, we'd all be haning out in a mansion made to look like Shangri La pounding bio-gel shots and smoking grenades. I'm sure the other guys will say the same.
@Bread and chaos---get your damn 360's working, I'm getting lazy!
@baking bread props to everyone, but i dont agree with tabletennisturk. he wasnt that good. you never played PUBLIC NME 1? he camped the powerups and was a lil b*tch, but always tough to beat.. he prolly gave me the most problems out of anyone i played with in DM.. competition wise.
damn thats some memory, i some too much bud :E, kinda gettin the itch again, bt mine & my friendgroups / friends of friends b'days all fall in summer....non stop booze & partying leaves me in no state for ut its the last thing on my mind after being sick & sleeping thru the day :S
Yeah I wish I could play more on xbox, I moved out of the house where I used to play it. I'm also one of those people who is terrible at duels, but I'd argue I was a top 5 dm play on xbox. I could count on two hands the amount of times i've lost in a dm match. Lost in biohazard once to Exile, twice in Defiance, once in risingsun and once to pengalengz in sanctuary. Lost once to tabletennisturk and once to smokestraw, not sure where. Those four were the best dm players.
I've never lost in kbarge or fearless. I think i've finished 1st every other time I've ever played a dm match, but that's really only in the Excessive server. I don't think there was anyone else who could contend with those, plus rckymntdragn and lightsonthevibe. I'm probably forgetting somebody! Props to you all.
I also played minnow in a duel and I didn't get one kill on him. Gotta know your strengths! For me, lo grav dm.
in respect to all the duelers still around.. i should say noone with crazy DM skills is still around lol. some of the duelers that still play are beasts. ive played with duelers where i was literally killed within seconds after every spawn until i lost lol
yea exile was always challenge in low-grav.. once the server changed to normal though i stayed, its much faster and twitchy compared to low-grav. low-grav is fun once in awhile tho.
just play alot and you'll get good, simple as that.. and you asked who the best is so you can get better? whoever is always at the top in matches lol. none of the guys with crazy skills are around anymore.. if you look at the top of the ranked dm leaderboards you'll see some legends. half are guys i used to play in Quake 4.. some are actual pro gamers like Hurrikan and Lex is FnA
my xbox rrod in may i believe and ive had a lot of things come up, so havent gotten a new one yet but i hope to soon. i miss ut3 very much
and hopefully i'll become part of that list lol. i played with exile a good bit, and he beat me id say 75 % of the time, but i think i have gotten better
khesire, i believe and i know the reason why, they focus on one player at a time, and dm players (or i do, at least) try to think of the big picture. and i am pretty bad at duel too, dont worry. and thanks for the warning about YOURGODmAKER, thats a shame. hopefully i'l see you on a dm server sometime.
oh yea, hes a huge tool. YOURGODMAKER is the worst tho.. never EVER join a match of his. dudes a creep. if you win he'll send you like 20 messages
the best players i played in DM were Kheshire (spelling?), PUBLIC NME 1, xX Exile Xx, smokestraw 85, a few others that i cant remember. its been a month or two since i played. pengalenz is good in dm too but he lags alot and will quit sometimes or time out. i also remember Baking Bread at the top a lot when i first started.. but i never got to play him when i got good :(
i only played UT3 for a month and a half but got quite good at dm.. **** at duels tho lol.
alot of players are ridiculously good at duels but dont win dm matches.. dont get it?
your kidding, the guy with the number one spot boosts? thats just plain disapointing, how do i know whos the best at deathmatch if i want to get better? i already know The Exiles really good at it, judging just by your posts i'd say you are, but i dunno. thanks for answering me though.
@pengalenz lol same here man. listen people. you must understand latency, and what happens when a server lags or your connection lags. when i host duels sometimes the other guy flashes and moves funny. do i call him a hacker? no. weird **** happens.
i wish Excessive would come in here and educate the uninformed about servers and ping and packets and latency.
i had an entire month where id lose only a handful of deathmatches a week. people on here can back me up. if there were all these modders they sure did a horrible job of modding. every single time ive had to battle for number 1 the other top guy didnt have perfect accuracy and died just like everyone else. how can this be explained? NOBODY MODS
@DuXxX yes. ppl boost. if you've ever seen dragonflyz350 hosting he boosts. YOURGODMAKER too. they host matches with cheap modifiers in the same map over and over and over.. they'll just play with bots most of the time, and rack up their kill count.
stop bitching. play the damn game and deal with the weirdness. thats why it says RIGHT ON THE GAME. GAME EXPERIENCE MAY CHANGE ONLINE. you sound like a bunch of whiners
:s been on a break from ut & the forum, dnt kno half the ppl posting nowadays :E I kno I dnt have a leg 2 stand on when it comes to spotting cheats/mods...whatever u wnt to call them but everything u find suspicious I find an everyday occurence during a avg game :( unless I'm missing smg
FRIENDS?!? I HARDLY KNOW THESE PEOPLE, THEY ARE'NT COVERING FOR ME, RETARD, ITS COMMON SENSE. GET OFF THIS FORUM IF ALL YOU ARE GOING TO DO IS MAKE UNINTELLIGENT ****UMPTIONS ABOUT PEOPLE
Proving that there are modders on ut3 seems to be harder than proving theres not. As far as using them it would be easy to get away with such as with an aimbot you would only need to pull the trigger enough to stay ahead, wall hacks would be an atvantage too I don`t see why they wouldn`t. You would only use hacks enough to stay ahead but not expose yourself. I`ve experienced what I think were obvious hacks on ut3. You have to give a better reason than nobody does that or you just aren`t any good, stop whining, it`s not possible, noob. I`m not going to name names but there are a few players I dont like to play with because weird things happen everytime when I do. There are top notch players I play with and this never happens with them.
NOBODY mods in ut3. the base of players is very small.. modders are almost strictly in popular ranked laddered games. halo's, MW's, BF's etc.
think of what the person has to gain. risking a ban and bragging rights to like 20- 30 people? no. If you look at the leaderboards none of them are hacked scores ( boosted maybe ). ut3 has a small under the radar community. if there ever was a modder they didnt stick around for long.
someone using an aimbot would be winning by 40+ kills and EASILY recognized. using a wallhack (seeing through walls) is pointless because of the speed and number of bot and players. a speedhack would be immediately noticed. a lag switch can only be used by a HOST, its NOT possible in dedicated servers, and all the duelers left know eachother. there is NO magical lag mod.
lag and latency in online games can give you all kinds of weird things. get a better connection, or get the f**k over it.
I recently caught something on video that I think was a modd. I was invited to a duel in progress and everything was fine just a little laggy. The host was up on us a few then I started to feel a zone and started killin it with the lead when something strange happend. I could no longer jump and my movement was slower with the host unaffected. After I was killed the same thing happend to the other dueler when spectating. Ive seen mods like this on youtube for MW2. If I think someone is running a mod I record it. Words are just words without proof. Modds take the game out of gaming imo.
JP how long you been playing unreal for? some of us have been playing for many years now you'd be surprised of all those crazy shots some people can do. go watch some duelers or something or play some duels youll know what im talking about .
I thought rockets locked on if u held it on target 4 long enuff? :S either way u've not mentioned anything u should'nt see at least 20 games per game or any player, u just come across as a really bad loser
i usually dont get into the middle of nonsense like this so im only goin to say one thing. im a warfare player so i can admit i dont have that great of an aim. but i have done both of those. shooting a random rocket down a hallway, guess what sometimes actually hits someone. as for the flak grenade, its clearing the corner ur about to go around so u dont catch a rocket to the face. and/or it is predicting/ bating someone. so if you want to try and call someone out please have more and better facts. and now im out of it.
ARE YOU KIDDING? because i know for a fact you can do that without an aimbot. you just suck at anticipating predicable movements. stop this nonsense before you embarr@ss yourself any further.
SURRRRREEEEE, ALLL LUCK, EH? thats what all the modders say. you cant fire a flak grenade before someone rounds the corner, waiting, knowing it would hit them WITHOUT an aimbot.
