Do people still play Unreal Tournament... ?

[mu0n]

More specifically; instagib?

I remember one of the i-series events years ago when I was about 15/16 and me and a mate won the instagib tourny. As it wasn't one of the officially supported tournaments, we didn't win anything but I loved that game/mod - incredibly fast paced and exciting.

I'm thinking about reinstalling it and giving it a bash.

If not, what do people play these days that's similar? Cheers.

Don't know, but they should.

Makes me smile when people describe CoD/Halo/BF as frantic.

Back when I was a lad, it was rocket jumps to school, uphill both ways etc.

We had a server on the LAN in the office and used to play at lunchtimes and evenings... or when the boss fancied a game, I can't help thinking it's one of those games that was great then but might be best as a fond memory. Has it aged well?

M-m-m-m-onster kill!

Me and a group of mates very occasionally break out the laptops for a Unreal Tournament 2004 LAN party.

Graphically, it has aged very well and still looks quite good for a brightly coloured, whirlwind of rockets, spider mines and Redemeers. The action is still stupidly fast-paced and can easily kill 5/6 hours on a Sunday afternoon.

We tend to play Onslaught matches, with 4 or 5 of us playing high difficultly A.I.

Still a great game in my eyes and is in the very small group of older games that never lose their charm.

Likewise! The Announcer from UT has never been bettered I don't think.

Best shooter ever.

The original was where it was at... smooth as silk and fast paced as hell...





I had a load of pictures of silly high scores in my old Geocities account (all got deleted a couple of years back).

Haha, check out the speed of that gameplay. Awesome.

Anyone up for a game?

Don't play it anymore, but have very fond memories of it. Downloaded a mod for it called Crotch-Shot that did basically what you'd expect, any shots from a pistol or sniper rifle to the groin resulted in an instant kill, the character buckling over in agony and the announcer booming out 'Crotch Shot!'.

Myself and a couple of friends still occasionally play the first UT - nothing since has matched it for me.

We usually play some instagib on DM-Morpheus and then some CTF on CFT-November and Hall of Giants

was this the game with a modern Operation Overlord?

[kowalski655]

Played it a lot many moons ago and re-bought it on Steam recently. Need to get back into it,it was a lot of fun.

Is UT the one that had the "OVERTIME OVERTIME OVERTIME" glitch?
