UT2004 is one of the few games that I've been playing for years. I've now tried it's replacement, and the 'new and improved' met the recycle bin shortly after.
They removed too many things,
They poorly made others,
They quite simply, un-unrealed, unreal tournament.
As far as I'm concerned UT3 is a 'what if unreal tournament was made with gears of wars models and scrapped anything else fun about both series.'
I won't be getting it, not even if I ever came upon it at 1.99$ in the ultra bargain bin. And right now, same goes for all UT3 engine powered games. Their clear arrogance against the people who keep them in business is not to be supported.
UT04 is disgrace and should not wear the name Unreal Tournament. Only the 99 version and the UT3 are worthy of that title. Only thing flawed in UT3 is the movent (and I'm not talking about quaddruppletirple dodgejumping bullshit), it's just so slow when covering large distances. Guess I'm used to Q3 (still the best mp fps ever made).
