It still has some activity for CTF. A number of modded servers (low gravity Instagib, sniper) are around. There are also a few regular weapons CTF servers that are still populated in addition to 5v5 clan match-style PUG matches that are organized over IRC.

Here are some server links to regular weapons CTF servers:

High Speed CTF (all CTF-Face) server

Terror Squad Clan all CTF-Face server

USonic www.UnrealArgentina.com server (Apparently there's an active UT99 fanbase in South America. They even have clans and supposedly there is clan activity.)

Xoldog 400 server (This is a German server that runs standard regular weapons CTF and custom maps, but with a ghey translocator throw limit mod. It's often populated during European prime time.)

PUG Matches: You might also enjoy 5v5 clan-match style PUG matches where people use Teamspeak for voice comm. In a PUG, two captains draft-pick the other 8 players for their team with the idea being to get balanced teams and a more intense game. They are organized on IRC (Internet Relay Chat) using a pugbot program. You can find them here:

Server: irc.GlobalGamers.net

Channels: #latinopug
#mlut (North American pro community)
#speedpug

Thanks so much for that! I might have to go digging for that old dusty installation disk lol
 
UT3 is active EST nightly.

TDM
216.52.148.178:7777:6500 .::.Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers.::. - Chicago 80 tick

DM
216.52.143.150:7777:6500 .::.The Wykydtron's Lair.::. High Tick Performance Chicago DM server (Stable)

I am not re-installing it until my rental is renovated.. UT3 takes up too much of my time.

On another note, I am going to re-install 2k4 and give it another whirl..
 
FYI to Fermi owners – these cards currently have serious performance issues in UT2004. My GTX480 is way slower than my old GTX285 in this game.
 
I still play UT2k4.

Less & less sadly, but still sometimes.

Best game ever.

Anyway, if anyone wants to have a go, xfire is in sig, add meh.
 
I loved UT2004!! I loved everything about it. such an excellent game. I put soooo many hours into this game..... oooo, what a blast!

But when I upgraded my PC a few years back, my new 8800GTS could not play this game back smoothy. Some sort of drive issuse, it took them years for nvidia to fix this. Even now thats its fix, if i run the game sometimes it BSOD my PC.
I have read that this issuse doesnt exist under Vista/7.

i think i still have that game. it was a bit of fun for a spell, then I just got tired of being pwned by wee 6th graders.

so I stopped. :\
 
This might be a "cool story bro" post but I dont care

I just reinstalled UT04 and man I played it for hours, the online portion is still very active with lots of custom maps.

I don't get why there aren't fun games like this any more 🙁

The Quake style of fighting 1v1 is just amazing.

Epic needed more money so they made UT3, and killed the whole fucking franchise.
Now the only popular stuff is on Steam, which is fine if thats what you like. But for those of us who prefer Unreal style play, there is no one cohesive online community anymore.
 
shorty, Downward spiral and MXC i think were both contacted to start a TAM tournament or ladder, not sure. So there are people who want to compete, just not place to facilitate it. Im pretty sure its in the works. A guy named "revel" at least i think thats what he goes by
 
UT3 is alive and well... and yes, there is nothing like the game-style play of Unreal Tournament. The double jump and dodging off walls is kick ass; its total kung-fu style fighting... in its own way
 
Why would you lie like that?

The only portion of the game with an active community is Onslaught (terrible), Insta lightshow gib ultrahook wc3 mod crazygrav lol custom music discoball edition deathmatch, and a small CTF population. And of course the ever present full demo servers.

I reinstalled the game a few times in the past because of posts like the OP's then I log in and see that all I ever play with are bots... I leave it un-played for months then uninstall it eventually.

🙁

I miss the 2000-2002 days when UT'99 was the shit and even played among co-workers... we would play till 1 or 2am and talk about it all day at work... look stats up, etc. It's definitely the people that make it... if there's no one around, it's good as dead.
