Yeah, it does work, I've seen people lift vehicles that way.

I do agree in there not seeming to be much point though.

Well, I'll keep an eye out for you. I'm tending to stick to the official servers for now.

EB has the DVD SE version back up and showing it as a pre-order for 04/20/04 UT 2004 SE DVD

There's some debate on the official forums as to whether that EBGames version is the full SE, or just a 1-disc DVD with game only.

you mean the new preorder at EB games may be a 1-dvd version?

If I didn't already have the SE DVD - I would take the single DVD over 6 frigging CDs... lol

Corrected my typo. Hopefully the EBGames version is the real deal for those interested in the SE. I think people are wary because there's been nothing official from Atari.

disguise perhaps? other than that I guess its just a fun goofy thing.....any tips you might have to offer?

That actually came in handy tonite. On the Icarus onslaught map, the leviathan is isolated off to the side. We used a raptor and carried to the larger side of the map.

you used the raptor to carry the leviathan??? not sure I know what you mean....but would love to hear how this strategy works....

I'm gonna go try it!

I parked the raptor on the left side of the leviathan, the guy in the leviathan deployed it so a part of the leviathan was on top of the raptor. Then I took off and carried it

I think that's all people want anyhow. The headset was a little bit of a letdown, since you had to plug it into the conventional speaker/mic outputs on your sound card. I think most people were expecting a USB headset, so they didn't have to disconnect their speakers and/or come up with some other method just to use them with UT.

The 1 DVD and the tutorials are what made me go for the SE, I don't even use my headset. I have an older headset from Labtec which is mic only, so I can still use the speakers. The headset included in SE is just sitting in the box (albeit that nice shiny metal SE box... ).

I see.....very cool.....and what was the benefit to doing that? speed I assume?

Play the Icarus map in Onslaught mode and you will see why

For all the Best Buy pre-order people, I received my SE 2-DVD UT2004 yesterday. So, it seems that they're sending the right versions! It's totally worth getting this just for the tutorial disc! Factor in the $10 rebate...(And to think I spent $50 apiece for Maya/3DSMax books!)

Yep I recieved mine yesterday.

I will def check it out tonight....has anyone noticed in instant action how off and on the comp is....your bot partners are either really good or not good at all....?

Someone needs to put those tutorials up for download. I want to get my girlfriend making some mods, as she has real talent, she just needs a push

ummm there are 8 gigs of tutorials.. like 250 27 minute tutorials lol that would take alot of bandwith

That's what bittorrent is for

sorry I've been gone for a while....anyone have any assault tips to share?? ive been having some trouble with it...

Well, it varies from map to map. Any particular map giving you trouble?

The rerelease of the DVD version of the game is offical now, for those who didn't hear.

where did you see this?????? i would like that very much...

nice. it only makes sense.

to refer back to my earlier post, why are PC games "collectible" or "limited" anyway? never saw any of them go for more on ebay and looks like UT2004 won't either (beyond what has been a lucrative ebay market currently for some people).
