the vehicles in ut2k4 are subpar

I dont understand why you people are happy with them.


the controls are awkward and anti-intuitive.

The free camera is nice.

I agree. Play XMP :thumbs up:

i like the ground vehicle control but the air control is like you said, awkward and not very intuitive.

The air control is pretty bad (especially on the Raptor), but I think the control for the ground vehicles like the tank and the Hellbender works pretty damn well...easy to do everything from fast turns to strafing runs.

Only one that didn't frustrate me was the hover douhickie, didn't get to try the go-cart thing with the whatchamacallits that come out of the side.

(yes douhickie and whatchamacallit are technical terms)

This is Tribes Talk, not UT2K4 Talk.

:twak:

How the hell do you get the raptor to fly "up"? Somehow I always manage to get myself way the fuck up in the sky, and I either can't get down, or when I start out, I can't figure out how to get "way the fuck" up there.

It's because the altitude is controlled with space/c rather than by the pitch of the nose of the vehicle. For the love of all things good, plz do not make the T:V vehicles gain/lose altitude independent of the nose angle.

ut2k4 vehicles are so uber arcade, that aint good thing.

The hover thing does rock tho, not real good at killing things (still not too bad) but it's fast as hell and thus great for getting to power nodes.

Well you gotta remember this is UT and everything has to be made skilless. The raptor works that way so that it is significantly easier to shoot people on the ground while moving.

And the default controls are ctrl for up, and c for down.

ctrl and shift

Space and C

It's ctrl and c goddamnit. :)

Duh.

The ground vehicle controls are great.
I love doing those 180 turns or knocking people over with a well placed slide :o

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. The tank and the hellbender are also very sweet. The one person buggy kinda sucks because its fragile, has no means of defense, and its weapon makes no sense at all other than being a physics show off weapon.

Dont like the raptor though...mostly because it is missle bait.


The one thing I think T:V can take from UT vehicles is that all of the vehicles should have some sort of killing ability. Its clear that transports sort of go against the point of action games, so no HPC plz :\.
