Description:
Quite simply this mutator that turns
the UT3 armor into Halo like overshields. A configurable ini
file allows you to change the shield settings. You can set
the amount of Max Shields, How fast the shields recharge,
and how long of a delay before the shields starts recharging.
Also there is an option for the high scorer in game to not
have overshields.

Comments:
This is a simple, yet very nice mutator.
Since everyone has the same shields game play remains balanced
and is not over powered. This mutator changes game play so no
longer do you get 1 shot kills with the rocket launcher, but
the UT weapons have more then enough power to killed an armored
opponent.
I could not find any problems what so
ever with VasAutoShields in game play, but the lack of a in
game configuration page prevents this mutator from getting a
better score. To quote Kangus "AutoShields is sorta one
of the things where a config UI is almost a necessity"
|
|
Verdict:
A must have mutator for anyone
who likes overshields.
Hopefully Kal will make a version
with a UI config interface someday soon.
|
|
Presentation:
Has a good readme, Awkward to change Shield settings. Needs
a UI config menu. |
|
|
Performance:
No bugs, performs exactly as described. Also available for
PS3. |
|
|
Fun:
While the gameplay is different from stock UT3, its still
a lot of fun. |
|
|
Overall (Not
an average): 4.5 / 5.0 (Postal) |

Comments:
This mutator is quite a bit of fun,
as I've always enjoyed Overshield mutators in short bursts.
I stand by what Postal quotes me as saying though. The lack
of a GUI to cofigure the various settings really damages this,
as I hate digging through UT3's crazy directory structure and
CFG files to change things.
