Tribes 2. Oh, yeah! One thing, though - I'm thinking that game has the greatest potential to take away UT-time.
There are a number of games on the horizon that I'm eagerly awaiting, but the most highly anticipated (for me) is the next edition of the Dark Forces series. Jedi Knight *still* kicks ass and the upcoming release of "Star Wars, Episode 1 Obi-Wan", has had me scanning the news for months.

The thought of doing the acrobatic moves while having extended lightsaber duals in addition to force powers is heady stuff and rules my imagination.
Other games I'm looking forward to:
Midtown Madness 2: (the San Francisco flavor). I hear they had to go back to the drawing board to add a vertical dimension to the game for the hills.

Mechwarrior 4: When I heard that MS got ahold of this, I was ready to cash it in and chalk off another great franchise to the trashcan. Seems I may have been premature.

Last but not least - Carmageddon 2000, Total Death Race. The original Carmageddon (and its accompanying Splat Pack) remain the most enjoyable PC multiplayer games *ever* for me. I'm glad that there will be TCP/IP support (finally) and hope that a) they make their release date for a chance, and b) don't suck the way Carmageddon 2 did.
Yeah, I know that Black and White is still coming, as is Oni. For now, I'm just trying to get through Diablo II.
