Discussion

EntropicLqd: One of my biggest hates with UT2003 is the HUD. It stinks. In UT the team messages were in a decent place, and your health and armour were co-located. You could also tell how much ammo you had left for a weapon that you didn't have in your hands (the colours in UT2003 are too similar).

ZxAnPhOrIaN: Fixed that! When you stated that, i kinda hate the hud of UT2003 too! You cannot make the hud transparent!

ZxAnPhOrIaN: Also, I hate that you have to use the number keys for choosing messages in the [v] dialogue box!

EntropicLqd: Yeah. If you use the voice menu a lot it is actually quicker to do it the way they have done it. However, for occasional use (since I generally setup keybinds) the implementation is awful. The other thing I find irritating is the fact that all messages are in upper case. I know they were porting a TV console game, but come on ...

Mychaeel: Seems to me that it'd be a lot easier to port the announcer from UT2003 to Unreal Tournament than everything else from Unreal Tournament to UT2003.

EntropicLqd: lol - but where's the challenge in that? I must confess, I prefer the UT2003 weapons over the UT ones. My issues with UT2003 are more to do with the maps, diversity, and HUD. Mostly the HUD to be honest.

ZxAnPhOrIaN: In Americas Army, the numbers for the radio are fine, because you don't need them as often in it.

DJPaul: very similar to the UTClassic mutator..

Darkwarrior: The announcer should be easy to make for UT2003 because of the support for custom announcers added with the epic bonus pack.
