Comments:
Parser has done an excellent job bringing the classic Ripper
weapon from the first UT to the current engine. Everything about
it feels faithful to the original razor spitting nightmare,
yet just as tweaked and updated as UT3's core weaponry.
The Ripper at its best is all about utility and indirect combat.
It is extremely powerful when firing a flood of ricocheting
metal around a corner or down a tight corridor to take out anyone
who is following you, or perhaps waiting in ambush. The secondary
fire proves just as useful at times, particularly for knocking
the enemy team out into space during flag runs in Omicron Dawn.
The Ripper works like a charm, and is for the most part bug
free. The only real issue I found with it in my extensive play
is that when blades pin a dead foe to the wall, they are pinned
with a stinger shard rather than a ripper blade. Also, it seems
a little odd that the pickup model is red, but the first person
model is silver and blue. Do not let these little nit-picks
stop you from downloading this awesome weapon right now!
Great work Parser!
