Unreal Tournament

Is anybody watching this one?

I was a Quake DM and (mostly) LMCTF junkie during this time, and remember being floored by the original UT demo, one that probably came with my monthly PC Gamer. I played it constantly, and bought it as soon as I could get my hands on it. Later releases in this franchise seemed headed in the wrong direction to me, and so I gave up on it, I believe with UT2K3. Epic had moved onto the big huge hulky models, and consoles, seemingly abandoning the very group that made them successful, and the PC gameplay suffered, IMO.

The rest as they say is history, so I was skeptical when I first heard of a new UT, one that was supposed to mark the return of the old style, mod community and PC development.

I have to admit, it's looking promising!

I enjoy UT2K4 on occasion, on the few servers they have left. UT3 was a joke. I'm liking the free-to-play model as well as the emphasis on community development with the newest UT.

Wow. Games sure do look purdy nowadays.

It used to take me ages to design a 16x16 sprite. Wonder how long's spent on graphics these days?

I played the original UT a ton.

My favorite weapon: Redeemer!


Flying the nuke around looking for victims was fun and then zeroing in and annihilating them was very satisfying.

However, when flying the nuke your a complete sitting duck.
