TRUE words... ❤‍🔥

@@YTmokey42, yes. Thanks to the great, and very configurable, bots, the Unreal Torunaments/Unreal Championships games will always be very playable, allowing you to play on the map that you choose, with the skill level that you choose, with the mutators that you choose, and using the mods that you choose, and the bots won't cheat, or quit the game when they are losing, or deliberately shoot their own team. Plus the Unreal Tournament games on the PC have countless new maps, new mutators, new game-play modes, new mods, etc, making sure that the games never become boring. I always install UT 1999 and UT 2004 whenever I get a new PC or laptop. Utterly timeless games.

Emosonal damage to activition 🤣🤣🤣

Absolute correct 😁

FACTS. Man, it's so hard trying to find a game that resembles anything like the feelings from the Unreal series anymore.

They abandoned Unreal for Unreal Tournament, ironically. There was an Unreal Tournamente in development in 2016 but it was ditched for Fortine and it's all they care about now.

Welll that's not completely true. They still attempted another proper Unreal (Unreal 2) after the success of Tournament, but it was a shitty sequel, no wonder it was gonna fail. Similarly, they made UT3 after Gears of War, which also has the same story, it was a subpar sequel.

I think the thing that really stings is pulling all the Unreal games from all digital storefronts. It really comes off as being ashamed of their legacy and not wanting people to try out their older titles, maybe they did it to try and curb search results for Unreal to always point towards the newest version of the engine? Even still it wasn't necessary to delist them. Should have just made them entirely, officially free to download instead. Edit: I am technically wrong! you can still buy and play Unreal Championship 2 on the Xbox Series, it's still on the store there.

When the light-medium-heavy class mentioned, automatically the TF2 and Overwatch came to my mind. It's sad that that UT had the potential even for the future generations but it's never happened, instead we got a Fortnite, somehow :\

The original too since every faction had unique attributes. UC2 took it to another level.

So true. I also really liked Unreal 2 and all other unreals when I was a child. I guess we were less picky and less spoiled than gamers nowadays 😂

I played as a kid and leave it, twenty years later I understand the hate, but I find cool stuff like the granade launcher and all those six granade modes. (Except for smoke)

I loved it back then too! I played it way more than once and remember quite well it was good.

@@guyg.8529 To have an idea (Also answering the fact of "go back" in time) Gamespot Greg Kasavin's review, the game was even decent at his time.

I replayed it last year for the first time in like 15 years and it's really not that good. Even for its time it was a meh game, but I'm still fond of it because it is a childhood game from a time where I didn't have many games anyway, so I enjoyed whatever I had.

That game isn’t just a shooter unreal gold was like an adventure for me the environment and how badly the nali were treated by everyone else

Good way to loose your gaming virginity

Truely

Yeah, but going back I do miss all those modern bells and whistles. The UT3 rocket launcher is just so cool. Shame the game itself is a bit clunky.

ther is no longer any official ways to buy the game but you can buy the rom for it second hand or pirate it

Love UT3 / championship I remember playing with bots for hours on end. Prefer it to UT4

let's make players more "competitive" in UT3 by removing skill movement features and weapon variety cause the new kids are dumb and can't handle all that stuff. and after all the stupid decisions, Fortnite happened. F@€% U EPIC you greedy bastards.

It was alright, but I feel the problem was that it lost the unreal soul, which was always “anything goes” and it tried to trade it for a gears of war like, normal mapped to hell cohesive look

You can still buy grey-market keys for it for GOG or Steam. Alternately, you can get it pretty cheap on ebay, especially if you buy the Anthology. All that said, I would consider these games abandonware at this point and fully endorse the art of "yarr" in this case.

the demo disc from xbox magazine baby

i started in 2005 with ut2004 , for me ut2004 .. 2k4 has been the ultimate shooter experience this game was so epic adrenalin kick shooter , never a shooter that can match this ut2k4 experience for me , played 2005 to 2009 i was in a clan played on ctf and ictf maps , some tam and tdm to my had own clan service , good times and even some clanbase matches our clan video is even on youtube still from 14 years ago .

You mean the Sexy voice?

Completely agree.

I cannot forgive Epic for tossing this game in the trash as soon as Fortnite became successful.

​@@Nov-5062They did do that, make no mistake, but they also clearly just didn't give a shit long before Fortnite blew up. Development was left to essentially a skeleton crew, and then to "the fans", whatever that means. And then, as far as I know, it was formally axed. Starting to think Digital Extremes and CliffyB had more to do with the games being good than I'd ever realized.

My thoughts exactly. They really dropped the ball with Double Domination. Fortunately there is a mutator that does a fantastic job of recreating it in UT2k4: Classic Domination.

@@FuzedBox Thanks, I'll try this mutator.

@@Ragnar-id8kx You'll like it. It works surprisingly well with the stock DD maps and places the third capture points in logical spots. Bonus mutator recommendation: Slave Master. It's an absolute blast in UT99. It was also made for 2k4 but it's a rare mod. Have that one but never tried it.

@@FuzedBox Thank you for the tips. Every couple of years I return to UT 2004, so I like to add something new there.

@@Ragnar-id8kx It had sadly been quite a few years here; 2015ish I think. I played the ever-loving hell out of the game. Remember buying it at the EB Games in the mall under downtown Atlanta by the Marriott and Hilton while I accompanied my dad to a business convention there. When I got back to the room I realized I had an un-serialized copy of the new DVD edition- one of very, *very* few; I had to take pictures of receipt and game, emailed Epic, and it was either Mark Rein or Tim Sweeny who personally emailed me a serial, forget which guy. Played 2k4 three years straight, starting in that Marriott room on an old Sony VAIO. Before that I'd been borderline obsessed with UT99, but hadn't at that point bothered to try UT2003 because of friends' initial dislike (got to later and still appreciate). The hype of 2k4 was REAL, though. I was playing DM-Rankin and ONS-Torlan in the demo quite a bit at the hotel room before deciding to go for a walk to that mall. One of the best weekends of my life, despite it being nearly entirely by myself. Revist the game many times over the years, with many mods and variations; It never got old; just sidetracked... I hardly play video games at all anymore, yet I've had a major nostalgia kick for the Unreal franchise. Recently found quite a few great maps that I had never played and has been enough awesome with just stock deathmatch. Sorry to rant. The franchise just means a lot to me, and I'm heartened to see youtubers in the same boat.

Toxikk is such a damn shame. I really enjoyed it.

Agreed that Domination and Greed are fantastic, they are also among my favorite modes to play. They are in this sweet spot between the basic Team Deathmatch and the more "complicated" objective based team modes, where they are more interesting to play, but it never gets too overwhelming with what's going on and you don't have to rely on team mates as much (which is good when playing with bots). Double Domination from UT200x also didn't really do it for me, it's super annoying and too campy with the countdown mechanic. At least UT3 does have a decent mod that adds the classic Domination to it, so you can have both modes there. (I prefer the CBP3 version, it's clean and simple, only adds "Domination" and nothing else, and the maps are awesome, especially Enslaved and Collision Course. It feels as close to an official version as it can get.)
