I guess that's mostly because those guys talking back there were mainly both casual and they came from UT1 scene. Here only those who do like UT2 games are having a word.
I think it was because UT2003 was so radically different from UT99 that everyone wouldn't play it. I admit that I too didn't like the direction that 2003 was going in. UT99 was all about fast explodey action and nothing really else. UT2003 changed that and had a competitive theme instead.
