random guy Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I'll be Halo's singular proponent on this issue. I own both UT2k4 and Halo and I have to say I favor Halo. I appreciate Halo's pacing, while it is deliberately slower and it does grant the game a more tactical feel. I enjoy the dynamic afforded to the game by needing to reload your weapon and finding cover while your shields recharge. UT is awesome but I still wish they would bring back the enforcers from the original UT. Although I must admit that the double jump and wall jump abilities imbue UT with more of an adrenaline rush feeling.I thought the defaut gun WAS the enforcer (pretty much anyway)? The only difference I can think of is it comes with a couple of crappy grenades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Well, if loved Tribes, then UT2k4 is just for you. Halo has been called the slower version of Tribes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbenner Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 (edited) I thought the defaut gun WAS the enforcer (pretty much anyway)? The only difference I can think of is it comes with a couple of crappy grenades.IMHO the enforcer was a much more efficient weapon than the machine gun. I absolutely loathe the machine gun in UT2k4.

Daeval Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Yeah, the enforcer was far better, and I'd say they switched to the machinegun to focus more on longer-ranged battles (think Onslaught), except that they switched it a year or so back.

Wizard Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Well the ARs have been there since ut2k3. And if you hate your teammates for always picking up the other guns, try your best to grab another AR and kamakazie into an enemy shooting both at the same time while firing short burst grendades. It's stupid, but it works....sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you played was Onslaught? Hmm. Well a supernode is something you have to capture to connect the dots all the way to the enemy's power generator. While you do that you have to make sure your enemy doesn't do the same to you so you have to destroy the powernodes that they build. UT2K4 comes with many other different gamemodes. There's Deathmatch (where people run around and kill), Team Deathmatch (where teams of people run around and kill), Capture the Flag (where teams capture each others flag and kill), Assault (where people must do certain objectives to win the map and kill people), Double Domination (where teams must capture and hold 2 points and score a certain amount to win and kill people), Bombing Run (kind of like Rugby with guns), Last Man Standing (like Deathmatch but you start out with a certain number of lives and last man standing wins), Mutant (dumb mode, I won't even explain it), and Invasion (where you and bunch of people fight of an invasion of bots.) And then there is Onslaught which you played which is about controlling nodes to connect the dots between your base and the enemy's and then destroying their power generator.
