Unreal Tournament

Just downloaded and started the Pre Alpha.

Oh my god it's splendid. I have extraordinarily fond memories of the past titles and if you enjoyed them but want some modern graphics, you'll love it.

Really, really good fun.

Thanks for posting about this, I'll definitely have a look later. I loved the previous versions and have extremely fond memories of playing Xan in the last level, it took me literally months to beat him on the most dificult level! He did this thing called a 'shock combo' and it was devastating to try and avoid

Might try this out while waiting for Overwatch.

Have they brought back any modes from UT2004? Some of those were great. That was the only one I really played, other than 2003 for a short time.

I pre-ordered UT3 at the time, but didn't get on with it for some reason, I don't think I played for more than a few hours and

One thing I loved from the old Tournament games were the scenario modes where one team had to stop the other team completing objectives that would then progress the round to the next stage.

Is it like the original ut,or the inferior subsequent versions where they shrunk everything ?

Thanks, downloaded it yesterday and played a few games.
Got trashed every time, seemed a bit fast for me compared to the old version.

Not the best of starts for me either! I thought the same about the speed, but maybe I'm just getting old

After a few minutes though, I was starting to get back in to it and managed to string enough kills together to get the killing spree. All in all I like it, I hope it gets released properly as I'd definitely be up for buying it.

Long long time since I played any of them but it felt like the original.

Very fast paced, definitely play some quick matches (where half the players are bots) beforehand to get the hang of the weapons. The tutorials are worth a play through as well.

It's almost 100% community driven. Maps, weapons, mods all community generated and the main game is and will be 100% free.

Not FTP, free. They're going to monetise it by letting modders sell additional content after release it seems. Very cool production model.

Great fun!

I've had pre-alpha for a few months.

i loved the towerblock level, I spent so much time playing the original. and Unreal itself.

any chance of an xbone version?

Downloaded one of the early versions a while ago. Very similar in pace and play to the original, which blew me away. But I have to say that the battlefield series make it feel rather one-dimensional these days. Still, can't be beaten for pure, frantic action though.
