Talk:Unreal Tournament 2004

message: You're an ass! (James wrote this)
Does a commercial game like Unreal Tournament 2004 really need a Wikipedia article? What a waste of space! Look at the rules:
Please do not create an article to promote yourself, a website, a product, or a business (see Wikipedia:Policy).
:Sure it needs one.  There are many articles on commercial products and we're not as concerned about space the way paper encyclopedias are.  The policy cited is against promotion; it's not forbidding articles on those topics.  --Mrwojo 19:35, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  There's a lot of information here too, it's a very comprehensive article imo. Adding information about it's critical recieval could be interesting.I think that this article deserves better than a b rating, I've been playing the game online for 3 years and I've never found anything with half as much useful information in one place.

replies: text: The reason this article does not deserve anything better than B is because it goes well beyond the scope of Wikipedia. Ong elvin 15:17, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't play baseball, but they still have baseball stats on wikipedia that I don't care about. If you know the numbers and damage amounts, I think it's valid to include. Malamockq 15:42, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Could someone who knows what Mister crow please merge it into this article?  It should not have its own article.  Thanks.  Chick Bowen 16:34, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Mister Crow is one of the characters you can play as in UT2003, UT2004, and Unreal Championship. He is not notable, so I made the page redirect to UT2004. (Chose the latest of the 3 games.) (Due to the announcer being VERY enthusiastic announcing him in UT2003's (and UC's?) character selection screen, he is sort of popular-ish. Although all other characters had their announcements dropped in UT2004, MC had his remain as sort of an Easter egg.) Retodon8 19:47, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks.  I really had no way of knowing whether this character was significant or not. Chick Bowen 23:08, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

text: Mister Crow being the only announced character in UT2004 is an in-joke resulting from several barely comprehensible (and quite possibly never meant seriously) posts on the game's official boards. The posts have already been purged. 130.89.228.82 22:29, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

text: To the person who said Mr. Crow was popular... he isnt. Everyone over at Epic Games forum wants him dead, and so do I. - Lord Vipes 70.177.209.240 (talk) 18:53, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm in favor of this.
I'm for the merger. Describing a feature of a single game just dosn't seem like it needs an entire article. Perhaps if it described vehicles for multiple UT's (not possable yet) it might deserve it's own article, but for now, I vote nay. -DragonJTS
Im for the merge. ought to be, because its quite a defining feature of UT2004 - Me - Nineteenth of June, TwoThousandAndFour.
I just merged it. Ayavaron 00:43, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm concerned about this merge. There was no notification on the talk page of the 'Vehicles' page. The supporters above are largely anonymous or making unique edits to this page only. I don't have a problem with that, but I think the new article is too long and would have liked the chance to say my bit before it happened. Naturenet | Talk 07:52, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

text: I'm sorry, I was just doing that Wikipedia guideline thing, being Bold. There was a little discussion in this talk page and everyone seemed to be in favor of it. I liked the idea so I did it. I figured that if the consensus was that this shouldn't be, then it'd be undone. The democratic nature of Wikipedia allows for that kind of thing and I assumed it'd be fine. Sorry it bothered you.

thread_title:  Merging with UT2004 

message: The section on vehicles seems too long. It contains good information, but should probably be spun off into its own article. Thoughts? Decrypt3 01:00, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Good idea, vehicles is a large part of the unreal tournament article. On the dutch wikipedia, there already is a different vehicle article and a different ut2004 article. And nobody has complained about it so far. NeiNie 10:10, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

message: With UT2007 being officially published by Midway Games and solely produced by Epic, it should be mentioned that Atari and Digital Extremes have ended their long-time partnership with Epic in this franchise.

message: I nuked the section on weapon damage.  It doesn't seem appropriate for Wikipedia (details like that are much better suited for a gaming Wiki).  The rest of the weapons needs to be cleaned up (the tone seems too informal for an encyclopedia).  I'll do what I can. superapathyman 03:40, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There's also such thing as notability and style to keep in mind. Is it really important enough to the subject to mandate a big section about it? --Draco 2k (talk) 03:43, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi there! I'm here to clean up random articles. This article seriously ignores WP:NOT#GUIDE, WP:NOT#INFO and WP:CVG/GL#Scope_of_information. I'll be fixing that. Cheers. Ong elvin 15:15, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well... after all that, there's not a lot of encyclopaedic information is there? If anyone objects to the changes, let me state that Wikipedia is not a game guide. Ong elvin 15:30, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Please, keep the changes. This article was horrible, sloppy mess after it was edited. It had "game guide" written all over it. The UT3 page needs help as well. I don't have the time to do it myself, but if anyone wants to lend a hand it definently could use it. Metalhead0043 19:20, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

message: There's a unique Assault map called "Outback" (included in the game, but not played normally in the single-player campaign) which consists of destroying adverts for a bland brew and returning the flow of the good stuff to "A Pub With No Beer". I say it's unique because it features an actual opening cinematic, with Slim Dusty's hit title playing in the background. Are there any design notes or author comments that can be added to this article about this map? predcon (talk) 16:03, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
