Unreal Tournament (original) feel weapons order

[Lee_Stricklin]

Having been a big UT99 player I always got annoyed with the way game like Quake 3 have ordered the weapons, so with Nexuiz I experimented around to try to find the order that gave me the best UT-style feel. It aint perfect, but here are my weapon priority settings and binds. I also added in parenthesis what role the weapons play. I figured since there are a bunch of others on here who play UT99 I'd post this.


Switching Order (weapon priority list)
----------------------
MinstaNex (Redeemer, super weapon)
Nex (Sniper Rifle, long range)
Rocket Launcher (Eight Ball/Rocket Launcher)
Hagar (Flak Cannon, medium to close range)
Rifle (Uses same slot as Machine Gun)
Machine Gun (Minigun)
Mortar (ASMD Shock Rifle, useful around corners)
Crylink (Uses same slot as HLAC, also serves a similar purpose to the HLAC and UT99's Ripper)
Heavy Laser Assault Cannon (Plasma Gun, spam weapon)
Electro (GES Biorifle, good getaway/defense weapon)
Shotgun (Enforcer, dependable starter weapon)
Laser (Impact Hammer, Last resort weapon and jumping device)
T.A.G. Seeker (USELESS)
Grappling Hook (Tranlocater)
Port-O-Launch (Translocater)


Binds (input)
------------------------
laser 1
shotgun 2
machine gun/rifle 7
mortar 4
crylink/hlac 3,5
nex/minstanex 0
hagar/seeker 8
rocket launcher 9
porto/hook -

You have taken a hitscan-centric view here. The priority weapons being the ones that deal massive damage if you can hit straight. The way I deal with it, they're the lowest priority weapons. The high priority ones for me are the more 'get out of my face' ones like the Mortar and the RL.

Like I said this isn't perfect, what I was going for was for the weapon-switching order and key binds to be similar to UT99. In UT99 the rocket launcher is the second highest on the list by default, however that wasn't possible without screwing up the order in which the weapons are cycled.
