Picking a Game

Finding a game with the right options set might pose a challenge if there are many servers to choose from (that's a bit of wishful thinking maybe but we will see :P).

Go to Join Game from the main menu to display the games list. Click on LAN for LAN games, and Internet for net ones.

The stuff you should pay attention to is the red highlighted area. Additionally to the usual UT2004 info is some new stuff that gives you info on the Marshmallow Duel options the server has selected.

Active Pickups
This is a list of all the pickups in the game. There will be a line for each of them, with the name of the pickup selected. If this line is missing, there are no pickups in the game at all.

Pickup Lifetime
This is the lifetime of the pickups in the game. 1 is normal lifetime - higher values mean the pickups will hang around for longer, shorter means they will disappear and respawn more often.

Pickup Multiplier
The amount of pickups in the level. 1 is usually a normal amount, but it may have been set to a higher number for a larger map or more players.

Platforms Don't Respawn
Just what it sounds like. If this is enabled, the platforms in the game won't come back after they're exploded.
