Default UT Is 5 years old !

Yes, the original Unreal Tournament has hit the five year mark and is still going as strong as ever with about 2000 players fighting it out online at any given moment. It was this exact same week that the original UT (please make an effort to omit the 99 suffix ) was released.

The release of UT was a bit of a gamble as it marked the first step of the Unreal series into the truly multiplayer genre and had to contend with the heavyweight that became ID Software's Quake 3 Arena. Thanks to it's visual effects that are still recognized by today's standards, it's ingenious modding system, the object-orientated approach used by uscript (internal programming language), UT is still inspiring people around the world to continue making inventive custom content.

UT is also a success story about people like Tim Sweeney and Cliff Blezinski which has further given birth to the sequels that became UT2003 & UT2004 and to a whole franchise with many games using the advancements of the current Unreal Engine.

Of course, the Unreal series would be nothing without the numerous fans out there and the strong communities such as BeyondUnreal. Also of note, the Rock'Em Hard UT Demo community is still around after coming into existence on November the 17th 1999. Visit their site at http://www.rockemhard.com/ .

And that's probably why UTIII was a relative flop. New game, same sh*thead players ^^.

YOU feel old Bry?

Ha! I remember spending endless nights at my hotrod 486 playing DOOM (1!)... 10 years ago, the first Quake 1 deathmatch on a brand new pentium 66! THIS is oldschool!

But hey, I wonder how one would think about ut2004 in 2014?

Don't you mean 5 years young!...

FWIW, my standard reply to any of the "UT is Dead" nay sayers that might look here... go to:

http://www.csports.net/TopGames.aspx?Matrix=0&Mod=0

and you'll see that UT is still #13 right after #12 UT 2004...

Hmm, old timey multiperson computer games I've played... lets see... The first must have been Tic Tac Toe using Fortran and punch cards (circa 1975)... Multiplayer D & D on a PDP 1140 RSTS system...Oubliette (Multiplayer D&D game) on CDC's Plato network..(8088 PC as Terminal!). God... I must be an old fa.... now.. sigh.

ya.. you guys feel old, eh? I remember working in a computer store when Doom1 first came out. I was testing a virtual reality helmet with the game. It allowed you to move your head which moved the game left to right and up and down. It had what looked like a set of binoculars inside of it which produced the screen. It sold for $1500 which needless to say.. never sold at all. But the memories of marvel over the technology of Doom, as it sat next to Leisure Suit Larry on the shelf, will never leave me. I remember thinking.... There's no way technology can get any better than this !! I also remember thinking... gosh.. soon they'll have to come out with a 1 gb hard drive to support these new games !! If I only knew.... By the way.. I had a 386 sx 33mhz at the time. I couldn't afford the $80 for an extra 1mb of ram to bring me up to 2mb to run doom properly... But I did manage to talk the wife into buying me a sound blaster pro sound card for $150 which gave me stereo sound !!! WOO HOO !

Those were the days. :-)

If memory serves me right, you couldn't look up and down in Doom 1...
The rest sounds all too familiar, only I bought a Gravis Ultrasound at the time, which was a bitch to configure in "soundblaster compatibility" mode
