Hey Sicko. I played Unreal and UT99 a lot and spent many late nights on the FYM server. My handle then was Unibomb. I played UT3 for a bit right after its release, but didn't stick with it for a handful of reasons. I just picked it back up again and am enjoying it, even though my skills are lacking
Brink is a let down, it sounded cool but movement just isnt free as it is in unreal.
I don't see why that should come as any surprise. Every title released today in the age of PC gaming consolization should be looked at very very skeptically.
