Wish those would go to Freon sometimes and see if and how they score over there.
I know I don't stand a chance, I tried and failed  :))

You should try again mate. It's not all about the aim and kills - being sneaky, staying alive and thawing can literally turn the match around. The top scorers on the freon server are the best at aim/strategy not necessarily both. Check piglets freon guide it does help, and especially knowing the maps - makes it very hard to find your frozen teamies if you don't.
I fail a lot but sometimes get kills on the top players - more through luck than anything else. Although I'm best at killing walls and myself in the process  :D

Welcome freiwald, it's always good to have more people on board - especially the 2k4 veterans who I wish would all come back to rebuild this great community  :P  I'm a grumpy one too ;)

Welcome Freiwald,
Good you found your way to the forum and took the effort to introduce yourself.
Have fun and do not shoot me to much  :P

you'll see me moaning about "the botters". They're not botting. I'm just grumpy.
I have the same on VCTF with the "snipers" although I blame it on "Netcode"  O:-)
(I tell myself over 110 they get a real advantage and I got a better chance against my Hero's with almost the same ping)

Some of the Freon players are scary-good aim, and you'll see me moaning about "the botters". They're not botting. I'm just grumpy.

When on Freon, beware Bufty and his rocket launcher. He has kids more than a decade and a half older than you, and he's lethal with that gun.

Welcome to the forums/servers.

That's because most of them used to play competitively!

Totally agree with you there beware the bufty rox. Most people I can predict where they're gonna bounce to, but bufty always has me flummoxed  :'(

Oh - I forgot the link to Freon. You can join the port below, click on the link on the front page, or if you know your way to the vCTF server you can do a "mutate freon" from the console there.

Welcome!

If you're into more the DM-style of play you should come and join in Freon in the evening. It's half DM half stuck-in-the-mud - see here https://miasma.rocks/freon/

Also new here :) freiwald, almost 40 from Germany.

I was playing a lot of UT2003 and UT2004 back when they were released, especially DM, ONS and Assault.
When installing the game again i looked forward to play some intense DM or Onslaught rounds but servers are so empty so i checked out the only real alive server, which is yours. vCTF is new to me but i like it, just like i like the faster weapons. Actually i went back to a DM round and it was so slow, i guess the faster weapons fit perfectly for today's standards.

My sight got so bad over the years, i rarely play anything on PC these days and yet i still manage to get a few hits here and there. Sure im not as good as back then but sometimes i still got my aim. Feels good :)

Its great to have a game to logon every evening to have some fun, thank you for hosting all of this and thank you for playing with me.

Just picked up a new monitor the MSI one I had can no longer handle higher refresh rates.
Can't remember who suggested a curved monitor but it seems a really good spec for £120
AOC C27G4ZXED .
Haven't tried it with UT yet...

No real reason for going down the Intel route other than Quiet PC were selling a model called Serenity Ultimate Gamer i18 and it came with an Intel chip installed.  I figured I'd build one with similar spec' and source the parts separately.

This build has really helped up my game, it has propelled me from a crap player to a mediocre one in a short space of time.  It almost feels like I'm cheating  O:-) >:D O:-)

I got a test intel nuc i5-7260U with 24Gb and 640gpu.

When I start unreal it goes in chopper mode.
This compared with my "production PC" is a terrible game experience.

So I can imagine that your new system would and should make progress.  >:(

"mediocre" maybe, still better than me imho O:-)   :))
