Of course I don't pretend to have his aura, but I also think I've played a lot (just on public servers, not really interested by competition).
The most scary thing of alpha version is the characters animation. Maybe it's not a priority for you, but each time, each video, each news you will talk about, players will wait for characters animation. Personally, I had 0 problem with 4.1 animation. So it will be hard for you to do better.
But as long as animations stay like it is, people will complain before to comment new maps or weapon, even if they are beautiful.
If you manage to post a news with animations like UT 4.1, I'm sure you will have only good comments except impatient people complaining about not having an ETA.
Well constructed argument first off :D
We simply "cant" use the 4.x animations, those would be md3, where Urban Terror HD uses the more up to date md5. This means that we must redo all the animations.
While I agree that the 4.x animations are more to peoples general liking at the moment, the simply truth is they really should not be compared. md5 is the reason the player models look and feel so much better than their 4.x counter parts (excluding BK's skill ofc :D :D).
What people keep failing to understand here is that Urban Terror HD is a "new" and that really is in inverted commas :D, game. It's simply unfair to judge HD and 4.x as like for like.
