4.

 

I've been playing this on and off for somewhere around a year, but recently have found it to be the "go to" game. It's in "pre-alpha", but I have no idea what that even means. It's got a full compliment of weapons, items, armor, maps, a very comprehensive tutorial (and very comprehensive if you're expecting something like Hawken's tutorial) and not least of all, players. I'm no Unreal Tournament fanatic, but I do have a few hours here and there on UT2k4, and there are a fair amount of similarities. Overall, the feel of the new UT is quite solid and fun to play.

 

It's also free.

You should call me Luna.

 It's got a .... and not least of all, players.

 

 

I just jumped on Ut4 and counted 43 people playing in all of NA

Hawken count is 63 in NA

 

UT4 NA had double these players on any random Saturday last summer

So very few people play this game.

But it is fun in small doses.

Your best bet is to idle in the ut4 pug irc and hope you get a game

There were 10 people in there just now looking to play/idling

I think you may have gotten something wrong. I played all of last night without ever encountering the same people once.

That being said, "pre alpha".

They've been saying that for a while.

Like I said, the one thing it doesn't have is many people playing it, hit up the irc pug channel #UT4.pug

No you have to be wrong on the numbers. I definitely recall last night there being a single hub in NA with over 100 players.

 "pre-alpha"

I really have no idea. It definitely absolutely exists. On a surface level, it's more complete than Hawken.

My understanding is that UT4 is being developed as a proof of concept for and concurrently with UE4. UT4 itself is a bit like those example programs you get with those lego robots: It does some stuff on its own but it's really just there for the user to poke around and learn the system.

 

I've also been having a pretty good time with UT, though the nature of the weapons often makes it frustratingly obvious how good it is possible to be at the game, and how far away that is from my skill level.

I don't know that Crafty understands the Hub/Server system well enough to get an accurate count.  There are IG (Instagib) and Weapons pugs (Pick Up Games) that run from early afternoon until late evening - constantly, and every day.  Just join the channel below and ask for instructions.

 

Instagib PUG IRC

 

ESL's also running UT leagues and tournaments, with both NA and Euro divisions: http://play.eslgamin.../pc/news/264234

 

 

*Edit* Should mention that the spring league's divided into various skill divisions.

While you're doing that, you might try navigating to Xacius' played hours and checking the number you keep overestimating by 1000%.
