I absolutely love this game, it's addictive, and in my opinion one of the best multiplayer games out there. It's not exactly counter-strike though!
With huge weapons, you run around trying to disembowel your opponents before they decapitate you, all the while never stopping once. This is a game of reflexes and skill, in a true deathmatch you can't stand still unless you WANT to die.
The great thing about this game are the different games you can play: Capture the flag, control the two territories, or bomb-ball, each unique and fun and definately a pleasant change from the classic deathmatch

A Successor to Unreal Tournament, But a Worthy One?

When I purchased a computer system in November 2000 to upgrade my aging PC, a game title I had in mind was Unreal Tournament (UT). After spending just a short while with UT, I realized it was a winner. This game defined the cliché "thrill of victory and agony of defeat." I was almost afraid to play it because I hated to lose, but was it great to win! Playing Unreal Tournament set the stage for Unreal Tournament 2003 (UT2003), but progress does not always fulfill one's hopes.

UT2003 is a good shooter. It is a very good looking game with realistic effects like fire, swirling clouds, and rounded surfaces. It's rendering of shiny metal objects is perhaps the best I've seen in any game. The bots work well in single player, and the AI has been improved so much over UT that it's almost impossible to beat the bots in the tougher difficulty settings (at least I couldn't). The sound and music are good too.

The drawbacks of UT2003 include fairly high system requirements. I could run it on my Pentium III system, but the frame rates noticeably dropped when a lot of bots were on screen. Even on my 3 GHz Pentium IV system the game will sometimes slow down noticeably. Also, I thought that the weapons weren't as good as in UT. The sniper rifle, one of the best weapons I've seen in any game, was replaced by a "lightning gun." I hate this weapon! You've got to wait several seconds for it to recharge, and we all know what waiting results in when we are being attacked by bots or players intent on killing us.

UT2003 and Unreal II, just aren't what they could be, and they are a step down from their predecessors. I would love to see the developers of these Unreal games return to their roots. Give us the original greats like Unreal and Unreal Tournament with updated sound and graphics, and you'll have a lot of happy players. Epic Megagames, do you hear me?

If you wanna look at soe spectacular graphics with a high paced action game, this is it. If you want a lot of different things to do, dont count on it. This game is like a newer version of Quake and Unreal smooshed into one frag fest of same ole same ole. New weapons and some nice new modes. Can play football, keep away and some other fun stuff. If you want any long-term enjoyement, you may wanna look somewhere else. For the diehard first person shooter?? This is the best on the market! Its up to you.

Right out of the box=B with all the custom Mods&Maps=A+

A die-hard UT fan myself, i wasn't impressed by the "features" they added except for double jump. However, the new support for realistic terrain and increased Modification (MOD) support give it great potential. Already the maps available for it boost its appeal by a LOT. The game, even out of the box is still great, in my humble opinion.

The Coolest Game Out There

I just got this game demo from a magazine, and I did not know what to except of this. So i Installed it and it was the coolest game I have evered played. I want it but I do not have the money. I am saving up. This is what I am getting at: If you have 40 dollars and you are looking for a good computer game get it. Period!

For some reason amazon has it marked as ships usually in 24 hours, i've been waiting for it for more then a week.
Next time I'll search for a better place to shop, or go to another game to play.

bummer.

Hey, if you loved the last UT u will have no life after this one is relesed, it will be your life! Old mut's such as instagib and low grav are back. Awsome net code so it lags less. Dont question if to buy it or not, DO!

This game is good if you have never played the series before. It is the same as the other Unreal games. The map editor is very over rated. If you have a degree in engineering and math you might be able to draw a box. If not, dont plan on having any fun making your own maps. I have a P4 2.4 GHZ, 64Mb DDR graphics card and 512 DDR Ram and this still plays very slow. It has to be the game not the pc. Wait for the price to drop.

A Worthy FPS!

I would reccomend this game to anybody who is a fan of arena style first person shooters like Quake. If you are someone who likes mission based first person shooters, then I would stay away from this one and get yourself a copy of Medal of Honor or Soldier of Fortune. This is a great game if you like to play online against other players or face off in a "Gladiator" type tournament against computer controlled players. The graphics are fantastic (If you have a top range ATI or nvidia card). The sound is good, and the overall mechanics are what you would expect from UT. Overall: If this is something you want to try first, get a used copy of Quake 2 or Unreal Tournament 2 for cheap doe, try it out, and if you like the style of play, GET THE GAME!
