So how does everyone feel about this????

Will skins from UT2003 work with 2004?

This is the only thing im concerned with. Because quite honestly i dont see the point in going to a 2003 server just to laugh at the people who havent upgraded.

yes.
the only thing that will *not* work is connecting to ut2004 servers if you have ut2003, or vice versa

The akimbo machinegun animations with ut2k4 may take some time to put together if you use custom animations :O

Plus there's sitting animations.

That's my only hiffs about it.

So... basically, it's an expansion pack like Brood War or Team Arena? Same game, nearly compatible for mods, incompatible for multiplayer, splits the community between the people who bought it and the people who didn't, and you can only hope everyone does buy it?

... except that they've skipped the expansion pack stage and gone straight to the "gold edition" bundle of game+expansion, at the original game price, thus saying "sucker, you should've waited for UT2004" to everyone who bought UT2003 when it came out.

Yeah, *that*'ll work well.
