This thread has been linked to the game 'Unreal Tournament 2004'.
I haven't played the demo yet, but seeing how cheap you can buy it on the internet i can't see it being a let down. It would be nice to see it on release day, but im not going to build my hopes up.

Hmmm, all i would be interested in would be the headset, but its not worth me paying another £14 for.

Anyone played the Assault mode on the demo? It seems a lot more entertaining than I remember it being in the original.

Don't think I have experienced any lag since I found Norton Firewall messing up the pings. Feels like I am playing bots.

Can't wait for more maps on Onslaught as thats my favourite game. Maybe we should organize a game when the games released.

Well i played with Azul for a couple of games, we were getting around 70-80ms which seems good, but there was still about 1.5-2.0 seconds of lag.

Hope they spent time optimizing the game in onslaught and assault..

Check your firewall if you have one running. I normally use Norton Firewall but with the turned on I had pings of 80+ in game with the lag going through the roof. It was so laggy it felt I had 1Kb connection not 1Mb. Turned it off and used the Windows XP firewall and everything is good. XP firewall is pretty good as the Norton tests show it to be safe. I know 56K doesnt give brilliant pings but I would have though sub 200ms is possible and even lower for UK games.
