Ha! Reading the comments apparently I just suck at using the impact hammer 🤷♂️ Honestly the chainsaw was so fun I never kept it in my weapons rotation long enough to get good. Also telefragging. I even recorded footage of that and forgot to add it to the script.
-
I'm looking forward to all the retirement home LAN parties that are coming our way
-
"Double kill! Multi Kill! Ultra kill! Mo-mo-mo MONSTER KILL!" 💖

This demo made it's way around my highschools's shared drives in '05-'06. Had a substitute teacher for my computer networking class one day. We wired up a LAN, and "validated" it by playing Unreal Tournament... for the entire period. I'll never forget that day. (Teacher wasn't happy when he came back :))

Honestly, I still find older games like UT and Q3A more enjoyable than almost any FPS out today. No DLCs, no 4-layered controls, no needing to worry about optimizing loadouts. Just grab a weapon and go.
-
I still play Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 with Bots. Never grew tired of these......Can't say the same for many other old games.
-
Still play UT99 on a weekly basis, so many memories i can't stop playing it
-
UT99 was and always will be a masterpiece.
-
I used to modify each bots, give them unique names and build a background story for them. As I play with them, I would develop their story for why they are fighting in the arena. I younger sister would watch me play and join in the narration. This game was such a great after school de-stressor.

as a kid my dad was the kind of dude who would just come home randomly with a gift, set it down and walk out of the room with a smile. one fateful day in 2000, he plopped UT99 on the desk in the little office my brother and I would hangout in all the time and life was never the same.
-
The fact UT99 still has people playing on servers should show how awesome the game is
-
My dad played this game ALL THE TIME in his computer room when I was little. The sounds of everything from the guns to the characters dying really brings me back to hearing his game from the other room behind me while I played my games and watched TV. Simple times.

"Facing Worlds" was the most awe-inspiring map, and still is.
-
The practice mooode joke will never stop being funny.
-
This and UT2K4 are bonafide masterpieces; two of the greatest PC-games ever made.
-
Unreal Tournament 2003-2004 was incredibly fun online. I miss those days.
-
Best arena shooter I've ever played. And still holds up more than two decades later. Even the visuals are still fine enough for me. A true classic.
-
I remember buying a GeForce 2 MX and it came with a copy of UT and a disc that had hi-res textures for UT as well. I was already playing UT with my Voodoo 2 at that point. I used to listen to Foregone Destruction on loop! This video brings back so many good memories.
-
So today Epic announced that they're shutting down the old Unreal servers And to believe this was the first computer game I played when I was way younger. It breaks my heart
