I log on every day to get my fix (this is THE game that cured my counterstrike addiction), and I see every server under a 200 ping empty or filled with bots, so I have to resort to fragging on a 300 ping server. Whats up with this? Are people just too cheap to pay the money? I got my copy at newegg for 40 bucks shipped, and it feels like i'm stealing from them...

Of what I have played of it, it seems pretty entertaining. Assuming you're into mindless fragging.

well, for someone who hasn't played quake or the original UT, and in fact has ONLY played CS, i find the experience to be extremely cool. Not to mention the fact that it smashes my geforce 2 into tiny pieces.

My computer is better than yours overall. Besides, who is copying who on the DVD and burner? :D

Well they aren't copying me. You know you are. Stop copying me before I have to hit you in the back of the head. :)

You rule, even though you are a monkey. I'm going to rape Darien in his sleep tonight.

Please don't, I would hate for you to get off like that. Go watch your Girls Gone Wild. You ripped that yet or too busy "testing" its quality still?

I was disconnected from all the servers all of a sudden, none worked. I guess something was wrong with my connection or UT servers.

So basically the concensus seems to be former quake x, UT players are not switching to 2003 because the game isnt that much different/better? By that logic, I should still be playing Pacman and Centipede.

Well PacMan and Centipde are different types of games, where as quake x, UT, and 2003 are all the same genre, mostly the same gameplay but different graphics.

i just got done with some 2003. it was fun. quake was a good FPS for pure action i gotta admit. however, UT and 2003 give you more that Q3 couldnt. sure CTF and dm are fun....but instagib + DOM or BR is awesome. too bad there is no LMS and assault.
