NopeUnreal Tournament is the best "of course"...
UT99 is a pretty fun game. I suggest you check it out.
There's no such animal as UT99.
well i have a copy of it. are you lying to me!?!?!?!
You have a game called "Unreal Tournament 99" sitting on a shelf? Did I miss a game re-release of UT? :c
I think most know the game's name is Unreal Tournament, a.k.a back in the day UT for short. Present day if someone says UT99 they "mean" Unreal Tournament, aka UT, merely as a reference for people who may not know Unreal Tournament's progression of games over the years.
Of course most, if not all, members here know 1999 was when UT came out, thus it's frequently used UT99 reference now.

Unreal Tournament (the first).
UT3? Never played it.
Same here, the UT1 concept of a bloody combat sport was flawless, it needed to be expanded on, but no, they had to turn it into nightmare disneyland. Everything about UT2003 felt wrong.

That's exactly what I thought, was why did they sweep everything under the rug regarding original UT instead of expanding on it when they did UT2003? They could have added a lot of the stuff that was in UT2003 to UT, including the player characters. Here's one that I added to UT with Milkshape 3D. It's Widowmaker.

As you can see, at least he's holding his weapon correctly, something he & the other Mech characters in UT2003/2004 didn't do.
My point is if they had expanded on it like you suggested, Psychomorph, I really believe it would have been better for the series, as we have seen where it's gone since then.

I only played 2003 a moment before ditching it. It felt more like Quake3 than classic UT, and I hate how Q3 feels.
Nightmare disneyland, haha, good one.
I still remember those strange looking races from UT2k3/4 I was like wtf (I liked the Liandri robots though). Nothing wrong with the UT3 guys, just a bit too heavy-looking; but Lauren's mercenaries? Perfect.

*raises hand* best to mod for, classic unreal feeling, classic gameplay
the only newer UT reincarnation I like is ut2004

Original UT gameplay/scaling/fun factor the best.
I think Epic was pressured by console success to change UT into a 'safer' game for a wider age group, the sissies.
The contributions of user maps/models/skins/voicepacks for UT, the range of characters was better - the newer versions the armor is too extreme IMO.
Only play UT vs bots now and then, but never even think of reinstalling ut2004 or utIII.
Always seemed to be something missing from later versions. They seem too 'corporate' even for Liandri.

I doubt you'll ever find such sheer randomness, craziness, and customability for the newer ones. You can almost do whatever your imagination is cooking up on UT99.
The new ones all feel like some bland console shooter meant to please 12 year olds who get excited over anything. No personality whatsoever.

Add me to the pool of people who think UT99 is the best. UT 2004 was good, too, in its own right but for different game types--Onslaught and Invasion.
You can still play regular weapons UT99 CTF online! Visit my mapper website to see a list of four servers that are sometimes populated and also to learn about UT99 CTF PUG matches. I have Gametracker tabs for those four servers, so you can see whether or not there's any activity on them.

DARN YOU ALL FOR BEING ABLE TO RUN YOUR OWN SERVERS! My internet connection won't tolerate such nonsense. I can't even play a normal match without my shots lagging for a full second!
Ah, but I didn't come here to whine about my connection. UT99 is just... better compared to even UT2004. I think that the customization, music, and the weapons were what made the original shine above the rest. That and the excellent mods and maps available for it. UT2004 seemed to try to take itself too seriously overall if you catch my meaning. It also seemed like it was more about competition then for fun and that was what made it pale in comparison to the original UT. I haven't played UT3 yet, though, as I don't have any new consoles or the computer hardware required to run it.
