Game Analysis #1: WAR-Torlan - Mastering UT3

This is a new experimental segment where I will take an online match and provide commentary on it, both explaining decisions and dissecting mistakes. Ever spectated a game only to wonder what must be going through the player's mind? Well this is sort of like that. I hope that this provides you with some useful insight. Let me know if you'd enjoy seeing more of these with different maps and gametypes.

Is UT3 still popular? I used to play the original UT casually when I was much younger and I had a great time so I'm considering buying UT3. Obviously I'd be playing for the multiplayer, and not just cheating against bots with the redeemer because I liked the announcer shouting ma ma ma ma ma monsterkill at me continuously, hence why I ask the game's popularity. Also, why'd you stop these videos? A game like this needs videos like yours made by people with your experience!

@Terrr05 when I made these in 2009, there were an avg of 500 people online. UT3 never reached anywhere near the popularity of UT1. I would have been willing to continue doing these if Epic would have continued supporting the game but they didn't. If and when they decide to put out another UT update I will consider doing more Mastering UT stuff.

@VoxHouseStudio Did Epic give any reason for discontinuing the UT3 support?

[VoxHouseStudio]

@Terrr05 they said they wanted to spend time on developing new intellectual property. But recently Mike Capps hinted that they may go back to the Unreal universe soon. We'll see.

@VoxHouseStudio Intellectual? What's not intellectual about UT?! Funnies aside though, do we have any idea what they were referring to by "intellectual property"? I tried the demo of this last night by the way. I play FPS games pretty frequently but the last one that made me stop blinking so I could pay attention was Rainbow Six 3. The UT3 demo did that to me again last night. I got off after an hour or two and realised my eyes felt like stone ha ha.

@Terrr05 bulletstorm mostly, plus their iOS games.

very nice video, gives a lot of insight in playing warfare seriously, not rushing

@VoxHouseStudio I heard Unreal Engine 4 will be focused on consoles. That's not good news for UT..

@Terrr05 I bought UT3 some days ago and I can tell you, there are still many players in online matches. For a noob like me it might be very frustrating loosing against pros everytime, but still the game is much fun. I used to play ut2003 back then as a kid, so theres kind of a nostalgic feeling to it :D

[Terrr05]

@VoxHouseStudio It startles me that they can just drop such a big name franchise, one that has been so influential on the FPS genre.
