For those who are more skilled and have more time than I do... can you tell me where to "find" a sniper rifle in either of the supplied levels...? I have roamed-around on my own in both levels and have found (I think) every other weapon and tried them out... but I have not come-across the SnprRfl.

If you DO know where it is, could you please tell me what level and where...? Thanks.!

No Sniper Rifle in UT2K3. Use the lightning gun instead.

To expand a bit, it's the alternate fire (default: right mouse button) on the lightning gun. It's somehow not nearly as satisfying as in the original UT.

Right... I found that early-on... but I could-have-sworn that I was picking-up Sniper-Rifle ammo here & there...? Am I mistaken...?

Nope... I wasn't mistaken... I just went back in and found that I can keep picking-up "Sniper-Ammo" all-over the place. I wonder if they just don't have it in the Demo yet...?

Moving to the Games forum.

Look in the weapons menu in the Setup. I havnen't looked through all of the weapons, so I'm not sure if there is a sniper rifle. As someone else said, I think the Lightening Gun took it's place. I think it might take some time to get used to this game.

Again... I know the Lightning-Gun is capable of "Zooming-In" for the ubiquitous head-shot, but I have been seeing and acquiring "Sniper Ammo" in the levels, but there is no sniper rifle. It is not in the Weapons list, but that doesn't mean it does not exist. I t may (or may not) be a weapon that will be available in the final release as well as others.

I guess it just seems too-much of an oversight to have pockets of "Sniper Ammo" lying around, yet no weapon to use them with.

That's all.

(And, no, I don't think it's for the lightning gun, because picking them up didn't "Charge" that weapon status to a higher level of ammo)

The package contents of the demo contain all of the Maps, it seems, that will be included in the final release. I see Face there, among others. Wonder if there's a way to unlock them.

No, the Sniper Rifle has been replaced by the Lightning Gun. Same as in Unreal Championship on the Xbox. I'm sure somebody will have written a mod to put the old rifle back, but I quite like the Lightning Gun - no more snotty sniper campers

It says

"Sniper Ammo"

not

"Sniper Rifle Ammo"

Did I ever mantion it any other way...?

I KNOW it says sniper ammo. I mentioned it a few times. My point was (and still is) that the ONLY weapon (so far) that zooms-in is the Lightning-Gun... and when you pick-up this "Sniper-Ammo" that's lying around, it does not recharge the Lightning-Gun. I can't tell if it actually adds ammo to any other weapon.

That's all...
