Here are some nice examples of players showing their skills:

You might find this one interesting

was a bit diffuse in style, which might have been due to the re-entry in the game and the lack of knowledge of the maps
should have improved a bit since 10.2024 , but there is still enough potential for improvement
the knowledge of the strength of the other players and favoured positions certainly also plays a role here

[Ronftl]

Haha, know Ron, a lot of these recordings are on maps when I need a break or don't like to play so it's a momentum and does necessarily show the best of you...

each of us still has to improve, despite of our advanced age

@ Grim
the topic with the ut2004.ini is one I have to deal with more closely
because of UT2004 I will soon exchange my 10 year old Samsung 24" for a Dell UltraSharp U4025QW, 39.7" screen and I am curious how UT will be displayed in connection with 120 Hz, the aspect ratio and a customised ut2004.ini.
I will post a few experiences, maybe someone can gain something positive from my HW / SW setup

Is that new monitor 4k? I play fullscreen on 4k Samsung with 1080p resolution 240Hz refresh it look nice!

I don't want to buy a pure gaming screen, because I also need the screen for my home office and that's why I'm going to get the https://www.dell.com/de-at/shop/geschwungener-dell-ultrasharp-40-thunderbolt-hub-monitor-u4025qw/apd/210-bmdv/monitore-und-monitorzubeh%C3%B6r

from that point of view, the 120Hz & 5K should not only bring an improvement in gaming and hopefully also relax my eyes

Hello ronftl , welcome to the best ut 2004 server ever. This is Zacky (CR), veteran player of miasma and the MIA clan (now disappeared) I also returned to UT after my retirement around 2013 and after 11 years I really missed it brother, it was one of the first games in my life and I could never forget it Entering and playing more often makes you better every day, the more you are a good player, see you in the games, greetings...!

Hi Zacky

This game has a certain addictive factor, but this is also due to the variety of weapon types that can be used

I always find it very interesting how the ‘regular players’ and the occasional players in the group behave, when mixed up in a new session.
Who knows the strengths and weaknesses of the other players and who uses them to their advantage (of the team)
I, for example, already have learned pretty well from whom I have to hide and who is "sometimes" easy to catch in close combat with predictive shots ggg

greetings Ronftl ( real name Thomas )

I have a few devices I move between, but my main screen is an 35" LG ultrawide running at 100Hz (also curved).
I use foxWSFix v2.2.0 which supports widescreen, more on that here:  https://miasma.rocks/index.php?topic=1964.0

You can quickly change resolution by typing setres 5120x2160 (or your preferred res')

Thanks for the link / information !
I will take a closer look at the topic when I have the new screen

Done !

Nah. Bufty is the oldest I know of on the servers and he's playing Freon. He's lethal with rockets.

Said he was 80 the other day - I was like, geez and still nails me quite frequently! Props to Bufty!

[Piglet]

Yeah. He's lethal with the rocket launcher.

Question from a relatively young hell: When I become 80, how will my mouse moving be affected (subject to my wrists surviving). Does mental capacity decline with age significant enough to slow down e-sports?  Sorry but I need to plan and check if I can do anything to ensure I play UT until the very end

If you write off the more mature gamer as being decrepit wrecks, your end may come quicker than you hope

While the older gamer may not be as quick as they once were, they can make up for it with guile & cunning.  At least I'm hoping that's what happens to me when I become old(er).

Take care of those wrists, let your gf do the work

He mentioned the other night that arthritis in his hands is the thing that hurts most.

 I don't know his real name or much about him - but after he's talked in-game about his continuing health challenges I keep thinking of him and hoping he's going to get well.
