Mystery movie in UT2004

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.unreal.tournament2003 (More info?)

I was looking around in my UT2004\Maps folder, and found a movie that
never played when I played through the game, Mov-UT2-intro.ut2, even
though I'd completed the singleplayer campaign. MOV-UT2004-Intro.ut2
does play when I start the singleplayer campaign.

I actually like the Mov-UT2-intro.ut2 version better, so I'm wondering
what it's doing there, and why I didn't see it within the game. My best
guess is that it's a cinematic from UT2003, but I don't know why they'd
kept it in.

Your guess is correct, and I don't know why they kept it in either,
unless they did it just because it's really cool. <G>

I reckon they've left it in purely because they're slack.. hehe

there's loads of stuff like music and artwork left over from UT2k3, I
haven't looked, but ther's probably the textures for the2k3 weapons too..

cool movie tho

😀

You can select a couple of "classic" weapon models within the game,
which I assumed meant the UT2K3 versions, since they didn't look like
the UT versions.

I understand that they wanted to be backwards compatible with UT2K3,
which would make including music and artwork a deliberate decision. Not
to mention, it can't hurt to give builders more resources to use.

One other thing about the movie: it ends with the logo for Unreal
Tournament *2004*. So, it looks like it's been changed. I guess they
just threw it in for the hell of it.
