* What is ROCKETEER?

ROCKETEER is a mod for Unreal Tournament2003/04 implementing Rocket Arena's gameplay.
Rocket Arena was originally written by crt for Quake2/3, and then by Mongo for Unreal Tournament.

For those of you already familiar with ROCKETEER, this new version has been augmented with multi-arena support, team line, revised rocketjumping, link climbing, "native" brightskins support and a voting/admin system.


* Gameplay

ROCKETEER is a round-based team/1on1 game where all players spawn with the same inventory:

* health
* armor
* weapons

The inventory is votable and several presets exist for having RA:UT1 gameplay, ROCKETEER gameplay, etc.
Maps don't have any pickups since the players already have at spawn everything they'd need during play.
There is no self-damage nor team damage.
As in most round-based games, when a player dies, he won't respawn until next round. A round ends when everyone of the teams has been eliminated. When a team has won a set number of rounds, this team wins the game, and the next game can start: the losing team is put back at the end of the line and the winning team plays with the team at the head of the line.


* Multi-arena maps

ROCKETEER maps are subdivided into several so-called arenas, and each arena has its own game running. At any point in time, players can join and leave arenas within the map being played by the server without having to disconnect and reconnect.


* Non-Multi-arena maps

ROCKETEER also supports standard (non-multi-arena) maps (i.e. DM-Antalus, DM-Campgrounds, etc.)

I like Rocketeer. I think a 1v1 ladder for it would be cool. Also, two members of NCG are Rocketeer players-- DarkSoul and PowerSlave. And {dKc}Masher was running a Rocketeer server and Rocketeer ladder (at http://ladder.brainless.us) for a while. He might be up for it. That ladder never really took off but TWL is hopefully popular enough to make it happen.

But I can only speak for myself. So, for the record, I'm definitely interested in RKT 1v1.
I would absolutely participate in a Rocketeer ladder, and I think you could count LordFear from BG2 in as well. Possibly even that noob DiscoDave!
Aye, count me in.
Yes Plz.
Hell yes.
#imminent on ETG
Yes, I'd love to see a/some rocketeer ladders
Me too

j/k it owns you. id play in a ladder
Rocketeer owns. I support this ladder!
I know of a few [Ci] peeps that like this mod. You'd have a high chance of our participation.

I'm in for some rocketeer.
|The Chief is in.
so question... 1v1 or a TDM ladder?
RKT would be best suited for 1v1 at this point, there is only one other 1v1 out there which is regular DM I believe.

If the 1v1 RKT ladder does well I'd look into doing clan-arena RKT, but I don't think there are that many arenas that support it, plus you are getting the 2k4 field spread pretty thin at that point with the addition of TAM, which is more popular than RKT anyway.

So the short answer is 1v1.
Yeah 1v1 to give variety from DM 1v1...2v2 or higher rkt is fun, but 1v1 is more fun, and the others just aren't necessary imo.
hell mf yes!
GO to new thread...
