It's quake 3, if you like quake 3 get it but if you want UT style gameplay look elsewhere.

I would have to agree there as I found Ut 2003 to be more like a quake clone than it's predessor ( which imo is better )

If you have played the original UT then it won't be much different. The only real huge difference is the graphics. They are a huge improvment. Too bad it runs like crap on my system.

jonis · Feb 23, 2003, 04:10 AM

Its an extremely solid title, if you like a great title to play multiplayer I'd really suggest you buy it.

dipstick · Feb 23, 2003, 03:52 PM

I agree, try the demo and see if you like it. It should also be fairly cheap to buy the game now; probably $30-35 at most places. The mods will also add a ton of new features that will keep this game fresh for a long time.

Duddy76 · Feb 24, 2003, 05:57 PM

... The game gets easy then try onlie agenst real people it's a uniqe experiance allways chageing .. challenging ... never boring !!!... New maps.. Mods.. all the time not to mention the patches that chage the console and some game changes. It the ultamate First Person Shooter ...........period (since the first one)

My first opinion of the game was that it was a Quake Clone.... which just gagged me.... But since I was a huge fan of the original UT, I stuck with it and I'm glad I did. The graphics are real nice and once you get it tweaked for your system you can get the old UT feel back with some minor adjustments to the FOV setting, I believe that 90 was the FOV setting in UT as compared to 85 that UT2003 uses by default.

Since I have been playing UT2003, I have changed my gameplay habits considerablly. I used to mainly play CTF in UT, but I hardly ever play it in UT2003. I like the Double Domination game style and the new Bombing Run can be a blast if your team has a good idea what is going on. I also play much more DM in UT2003 than I ever did with the original.

You got me wrong man....I love ut2k3 and I played the first unreal tournament online for years in clans ecc.....but with this one I dunno but or I didn't have the time or I didn't fell like playing it that much online.....and so....As I played the single player and finished it a couple of times in different difficulties and after playing it a lil bit online I stopped cause as I said I didn't fell like continue playing it......its just me.....other games came out and I got addicted to 'em...(generals, unreal 2, ecc)

Duddy76 · Feb 24, 2003, 09:34 PM

CFT...how come man that new version of Facing Worlds is absolutly awesome!!!!........but u need a good damn cpu and graphic card to run that map at full detail or at least smoothly

mbeeston · Feb 25, 2003, 04:00 PM

Duddy76 · Feb 25, 2003, 09:31 PM

Duddy76 · Feb 25, 2003, 09:33 PM
