:rofl: The tremendous skill in pushing your shift key when you're remotely close to ramming someone!

I think the UT vehicles are terriffic. Especially the manta. I really like how they balanced the roadkill problem by making it skill based with the fan downdraft.

you make it sound like there is some skill involved in this game that doesnt involve pushing a button...

but, its you, so i expected this kind of hackneyed argument just to try and show me up.

Ok, you're really hopeless if you think holding down shift when you go by someone is a demonstration of skill, or adds skill at all. I was hoping a simple reply would somehow alert you to the fact that holding down shift when going near someone is not "adding skill". If you seriously believe it does add skill, then I have this great game elmo's number adventure you can try too.

I dont understand why you people are happy with them.

the controls are awkward and anti-intuitive.The vehicles in UT2k4 are complete shit. The phsyics of the "Warthog" from Halo, totally blows every vehicle I've tried in UT2k4 (physics, fun-factor, control, aiming, etc), all combined.

The only one with the SLIGHTEST ingenuity is the Manta (even the tank is blah). And even it's a little too easy to kill people with it. It's almost like... they tried to copy all the vehicles from Halo:

Halo Tank > UT2k4 Tank
Halo WartHog > UT2k4 Jeep
Halo Banshee > UT2k4 Raptor (that name doesn't even make any fucking sense)
Halo HoverVeh (cant remember name) > UT2k4 Manta

I hope the TV devs can make better vehs/physics than the UT2k4 dev team :x

The hover thing pisses me off, I can't for the life of me figure out what the Secondary Fire is for on it.

It just seems to make a thump noise toss a bit of air out of the fans, and thats it?

What the hell is it for?

Staying closer to the ground - for killing hitting players.
Ask ZPro about it.

UT2k4 Raptor (that name doesn't even make any fucking sense)
Yes it does:

raptor
n : any of numerous carnivorous birds that hunt and kill other animals
For instance, a hawk, or an eagle.

Which reminds me..

I fucking hate you. My second time playing the game, first on a server, and I spawn to the lovely image of a manta's grill in my face. What a cockgobbler. :)

well thats wierd, then why do they even bother having it in there?

i thought trying to time the downdrafts were fun....o well, time to take up something new, like needlepoint.

If you hold it down all the time, you take a greater risk of having your vehicle damaged due to the terrain hitting it.

I don't think you can jump with the downdraft activated.

Alright, ZP: That whole thing about banning you is pretty much just a joke, even if the manta can get on my nerves sometimes.

BUT

STOP PUTTING QUOTES AT THE END OF YOUR POST!!!! MOST ANNOYING THING EVER
