For a game FAR superior to Quake 3 (which was released pretty much at the same time), I decided that it deserved it's own worship thread.

Faces CTF + Insta-Gib = Hours and Hours of fun

I fear it will be a visual wonder and shallow gameplay. I see it as Epics showcase to sell engine licenses more so than a great game (Similar to Unreal 2). UT 2008 or whatever is next should be top notch though. :)

UT2k3 and UT2k4 were pretty much the same thing. :p

UT99 was pretty fun though, but, like all FPSs, it loses its fun factor in about 10minutes. 20 at a LAN party. Run and gun, Quake style shooters just ain't fun.

They were supposed to be the same. UT2003 was a rushed out version of 2004. They are both on the same Unreal engine, so they both look/play the same, just 2003 has less features.

UT2004 > UT > UT2003

After getting UT2003 and playing it maybe half a dozen times before deciding it sucked, I didn't waste my money on UT2004. Besides, BF1942 was out then. :D

Wish people still played, hard to find populated servers these days. Still such a great game, graphics look great and they are easy to run at max detail.

I used to LOVE playing low grav CTF at facing worlds with Runes...can't remember if they were called runes or not, something like that anyways, that was fun.

Only thing i didn't like about UT was that teleporter device, people just kept teleporting everywhere, it was real annoying.

occasionally...it runs too damn fast on my A64....which is funny cause when i was right in to playing UT I only had a K6-3+ 550 and it ran pretty ordinary on that...luckly I had a Voodoo 5 or it could have been horrible

UT (any version) is the only deathmatch FPS I'll play. I love telefragging people - there's nothing more satisfying.

I don't have it :( It was good tho to hone sharpshooting skills on instagib - the AI cheats so bad in UT2004 it isn't even funny

That was a fun game. I liked the low gravity maps where you were running around about the size of a mouse in rooms, where you go through walls and secret passages. I loved the sniper rifle, and that thing that shot spinning disks.. Good times back in the day. :)

I was a member of the now defunct CBGB clan.

I was good back in the day (2 years ago).

I still love the original UT.

Maybe I should fire that puppy up.
