My guess is the breakdown with Atari was involved in how much extra content Epic made for UT2004. Firaxis said Atari wouldn't let them do half the support they wanted to do with Pirates! so they said screw it and jumped ship.
As to playing UT2004 online....well it's been out a while...there are shiny things afoot to capture gamers limited attention span. I know it's pretty much tapped out for me...I still pick it back up once in a while though. But my 56k is not a place for action gaming.
