So when the fuck is Pris 849 going to get their sequel? They've been stuck in space for 20 years now

>Oh man, UT1999 was GOAT! I miss those days...
>Hey, anyone wanna play UT1999? Relive the old days?
>*dead silence*

>>5238106
I used to play loads of UT back in the day, but I never played unreal.
How does it hold up to similar shooters?

>>5239723
Literally because everyone is too lazy to set up a server and get a match going.

>>5239735
Holds up fine for an old game, has a larger number of players during the evening.

>>5239723
Why don't you host then?

My favourite unmodded server was unreal playground, but my favourite overall was zark. I also liked servers that had the bin slayer rifle

>>5241689
Aren't they still around?

UT4 is great. Give it a try.

>>5238106
Is it possible to run an UT99 server on a Raspberry Pi?

>>5243997
I believe it's possible, but you will need anticheat mods to prevent people from using vulnerabilities that could potentially crash the server.

>>5238116
stuck with nali dick

>>5239723
I still play, but I play with bots

>>5244127
Rule34

What are the best NON-stock maps for UT99

>>5240646
Why would we need a host? Plenty of empty servers available.

>>5244757
The maps CliffyB included in his "Ownage" selection are generally good but obviously they're all old. One of my favorites is DM-Kinetica, the bots are damn fun in it.

>>5244127
HABUDEE

>>5238790
Fuck you, can you react faster than a millisecond?

>>5244979
More freedom of configuring the server, map voting, etc.

>>5245216
Wait, this is what Nali look in HD?! Ugh...my mind in 1998 filed the gaps differently.

>>5244757
AS-Golgotha

>>5245216
At first I thought there was a strand of cum coming out of its crotch.

In any Unreal sequel or reboot I want some Nali to be Halflife2 Vortigaunt tier and be warriors, casting spells and blowing apart Skaarj

>>5239723
this >>5244491

playing ut99 with bots is top comfy.

Slim chance, but did anyone play on a UT3 server that had a custom map rotation?
I played on a clan server and am looking for the maps. One was a high ceiling church, another was abstract and had 3 paths, mid-low was underwater and the bg music was cliffs of dover.

There were more but those are the clearest memories I have. I couldn't find anything with googling, but I'm probably just retarded.

>>5247916
Only once, but it was the only populated server just before everyone left UT3 to play the older games.

>>5247640
But that's Golgotha 2

>>5245216
Good sculpt. I would've done some things differently, but that's the problem with upressing old games.
pic related is a krall i was working to be game res some time ago, but never got around to finishing.

>>5249164
That's pretty good, got any more?

>>5250759
stop

>>5250759
They shrug it off since it's a bad starter weapon

>>5250759

>>5251045

With fans remaking Unreal, is UT99 included?

>>5251285
Nope

>>5250152
None that are on-topic. Did a Cyberdemon a few years ago. Working on some low poly stuff now.

>>5251984
Rad, tell me there's a big brother easter egg one that is like 20 times as large?

>>5251048
Still not the greatest when the fire rate is reduced.

>>5252981
You can't really beat the damage output, especially with a Damage Amplifier.

>>5243696
Worse than "Unreal Tournament 3".

>>5248923
I never had problems finding populated server in "Unreal Tournament 3". Last time I tried was roughly month ago. And I mean - server with less than 100 ms ping.

>>5252996
Don't see how it's any worse when it has better visual clarity.

>>5252202
I have drawings for a shitload of mushroom people. They're a major plot point of a thing I'm making.

Battlestations?

>>5254880
RIP Gamespy Planet sites

>>5254880
Wish GameSpy had their entire webserver archived. I miss their pics of the day and going through the mod lists

>>5254880
I can smell this photo

>>5254880
Is there an Unreal mod aggregate resource anywhere now? A google doc with mega links would be all that's required, or a direct google drive.

>>5254897
I miss them all, I wish Gamespy didn't shut down their servers.

>>5257069
The real tragedy is when all the mods hosted on Planet sites all died with it, including mine

>>5257081
What was your mod?

>>5257367
Not Unreal anyway, was over at Planet Half-Life

>>5254880
Back when the communities of every game were pretty chill and weren't toxic as fuck to the point where they are willing to kill one another.

>>5243696
RIP, thanks Fortnite.

>>5247640
My dad used to make mods with a guy that went by Golgotha. Wonder if it's the same dude.

>>5253000
Must be in Europe. UT3 was completely dead last time I checked. So was UT2004 save for one UTComp server with ice tag as the gamemode. Europe always has all the old servers that are still populated.

>>5258908
Germans love the fuck out of UT2k4

>>5254880
I wonder if there are any lost mods we've yet to discover that covered some niche interest.

>>5247912
Because it was, and that's exactly why it was dead on arrival.

Teenagers these days have had their competitive spirit beaten out of them by the communists running the education system.

>>5247912
Which is exactly what Epic did, advertise the game to esports.

M-maybe UT4 will return, right?

>>5258873
iirc AS-Golgotha was made by a neo-nazi who went by Grz

>>5262932
Yah, I looked it up. Not the same dude.

Warmachines are not made to be fucked!

>>5262837
Who knows, maybe Fortnite will die out because of "copy-written" dance moves.

>>5259853
SPIELEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dzpj1ytgMus

>>5263498
They can be, you just don't know it yet.

>>5264193
Even then they probably wouldn't bring UT4 back. Epic probably would want to try striking gold again with a similar formula, and UT can't do that.

I don't like Fortnite, but it did make money.

>>5265626
I would argue that UT4 did get popular at one point and got a lot of attention, but just being in pre-alpha, and in some way, appealing to newer players even though they had a tutorial section. I can't say Quake Champions beats UT4 because it still lacks content that would make it a competitor to arena shooters.

>>5266737
They didn't put enough resources behind it from the get go. The gameplay is simple enough could've knocked it out in a couple of months with a small dedicated team, and then relied on users for the bulk of the map content. They wanted a community to make a game for them it seemed. Pretty lame of a multi billion dollar company.

>>5262837
maybe ut2004 will return...
in ue4
maybe not

You suck!

>>5267226
They also hired a couple of the community members so I guess it was also to hire more people.

>>5267316
Boom!

>Unreal still has the best bot A.I. of any series

Why hasn't bot A.I. advanced at all in 20 years?

>>5270354
It lead to FEAR and that was the end of good AI

>>5272029
FEAR and Unreal both had fake AI. It's just fancy scripting and animation.
Not that it isn't impressive.
I'm not sure any game really has done any better either... AI really has stagnated.

>>5272039
Don't think any game has pulled off good AI if you put it that way.

>>5270354
It would mean that games will be more difficult and less predictable i.e more frustrating, which is not trendy for at least decade of gaming industry since ~2007

>>5272039
>It's just fancy scripting and animation
That's what AI is. It's called artificial for a reason

>>5272039
>fake AI
>fake
>AI

Sit down in the corner. Besides that, no game to date really has what I would call intelligent enemies.

>>5272039
That's what an AI is.

>>5273009
>>5272996
>>5273915
What I'm saying is that the AI in Unreal doesn't actually take cover because it understands that you're shooting at it, it is straight scripted to run behind the same cover 100% of the time, or every time it gets within a certain range of a certain path node. Same with FEAR.
The botmatch AI in Unreal will make rudimentary decisions on whether to get health, ammo, etc, but they don't actually "see" the world around them. The AI in Unreal follows paths of breadcrumbs, and those breadcrumbs have a value in them that tells the AI how far off course they're allowed to travel to pick up items, or dodge or what not.

I guess it is pretty impressive for the time when games like Thief and Unreal have on par or better AI than games 20 years later (aside from running into walls or getting stuck bouncing between path nodes). I just wish someone was striving to write an AI that actually sees the world a bit more realistically and makes decisions based on that. Oblivion's radiant AI had a neat gimmick with the AI having needs, and making decisions based on that, but then they nerfed it in the end and we got a gimped version with more-or-less set schedules instead.

You are inferior

>>5274405
Come at me bitch nigga.

>>5267226
Epic was better off just charging the game a price to fund it. Their idea of having cosmetics be their way to profit the game would've failed, especially if they weren't planning on dumping some cash on marketing.

>>5245982
>that gibberish pseudo-Greek

>Describing herself as "the nerd of porn", Carrera has an active presence on the Internet. She proudly proclaims that she created her own Web site in the late 1990s, including writing the code and editing the pictures.

>She is an avid player of Unreal Tournament and she has designed her own game skins, and was featured in the show Players on the G4 games cable channel, where she revealed that her screen name is "Megabitchgoddess." Asia hosted her own Unreal Tournament server that featured custom maps designed by fans that frequented her chatroom that she has hosted on her site since 1997.

sad that how FPS games degraded to a point where a 20 year old game has better movement and gameplay than over 90% of current games

>>5243696
ut4 is great. if they fixed the servers and added like half a dozen more maps id consider it the shooter of the decade

>>5278976
legit endearing.

>>5278976
She seems like a person to hang out

>>5241689
I co-ran a Zark clan server and a Bin slayer server. As a matter of fact, our clans leader made the 1st bin slayer gun for UT.

>>5277354
I recall a lot of pornstars from the late 90s to early 00s had good taste in games.

>>5278976
>>5284165
Why must the good things die out while we get stupid shit in the current year

What would honestly make UT popular again if Epic were to reboot it? New modes or just hopping on to a Last Man Standing mode with big maps aka battle Royale?

>>5288693
I think it would have to come from true innovation with new maps. Or maybe make a destiny type game around it, and keep the pvp in the same way.

>>5288693
Actually advertising it for once. Having a complete game helps, too.

>>5238106

Used to use botpak.char in the config file so I could hide in the shadows press z to feign death then pop up with the rocket launcher when people weren't looking.

Monster Voice is the best voice. I think the other one was used for Gamespy Arcade.

>>5294882
why do the Nali associate themselves with literal hellspawn?

>>5274151
Everyone knows that, but it's still fun to play agains't, which is kinda the point of making bot's in the first place. Making actual AI to put in a fast paced shooter is both impractical and pointless.

>>5294943
budget constraints

joke aside...the original recordings came from a camel.

>>5288693
Just making a new single player campaign in the spirit of the original game would do a lot imo to bring attention to the ip. Really work on selling the Unreal setting which I always thought was really interesting. And of course actually advertising it.
I think they could what they did originally and build a lot of interest for their multiplayer game by having a good solid campaign.

>>5294943
Explains why they have magic and shit. Just commissioning the powers of hell to make things float.

not pandering to ut99 but to ut2004

>>5238106

>>5298576
Or to both

>>5299028
The compromise between 99 and 2004 was called UT3 and nobody wanted it. You have to go all in on one or the other.

>>5299587
There's always having options to enable UT99/UT2k4 movement and double jumping. Why cater one if you can cater to everyone.

>>5300032
>Why cater one if you can cater to everyone
no, you can't, ut2004 scale is 1.5 times greater than ut99
>>5299028
lol at ut3 and ut alpha

>>5300662
>Scale is 1.5 greater
Explain

>>5301954
if you are going to play a ut99 map in ut2004 you have to increase its size 1.5 times

>>5301974
Interesting, I always thought UT2k4 scaling was smaller than UT99.

>>5303425
I expressed myself badly, the scale is the same but the movement makes you crash against everything constantly, you need more room in ut2004

>>5239635

>>5303798
>>5239635
How do I actually find more music similar to Unreal and UT99, aside from just looking up obscure 90s trance and dnb? This is some of the closest stuff I've found:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrR82XLCKq8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjFbeNQG-1w

>>5304078
Nice taste. I think a few tracks from the UT99 OST are heavily inspired by Underworld but you probably know them already. Just keep listening to Atmospheric dnb/jungle, early 90s Trance/Prog house and Dub Techno and you'll end up with tracks that sound similar.

Thoughts on S3 textures?

>>5305093
>not turning off coronas

>>5238116
Am I the only one that hopes for DOOM 2016 - style remake of Unreal 1 with Gina/Prisoner 849 as main protagonist? She is completely forgotten as a protagonist.
More slow-paced, exploration based FPS game in style of original Unreal would be a good counterpoint.

>>5239723
Hey, my favourite single-player FPS was always Unreal 1.
Imagine my pain when nobody remembers about this game and it's atmospheric singleplayer, while people still sperg out about DOOM, Quake 1 and Half-Life. Even UT 99 is more popular than Unreal 1.

>>5305974
Shut up pleb

>>5306116
What do you think of RTNP?

>>5306580
I know people have mixed opinions about it, but for me it's fine.
It has a bit of "been there, done that" vibe, some of the new weapons are a bit wonky, there aren't enough new enemies and Skaarj Warlord as a final boss AGAIN is a bit cheap, but overall I liked it.

It was just strange how Prisoner 849 suddenly became quite talkative. I guess they wanted to give her some personality beyond a "mute chick with a gun".

>>5305093
i work with em a lot. designing finely detailed textures to look good in S3TC is a baffling demoralizing ordeal until you understand exactly how the compression actually works, at which point the process turns into basically a brutally tedious puzzle game.

>>5306098
Have the first portion of the Vortex Rikers be longer for more horror-oriented moments.

>>5239460
These threads have slowed way the fuck down.

>>5310128
I guess Unreal isn't as popular as people thought.

I still want a nice U1 remake.

>>5310714
>>5310128
Fucking shame, there was someone that was hosting a server but they're gone and someone else making Unreal RPG mod.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHlgKpyAKqk
The D-Day map is the most bullshit out of the maps, a pro can carry the entire team on both sides.

>>5306116
Are you me? Half Life was always boring for me, doom and quake looked like shit and never truly appealed to me

>>5313712
I mean, I really like DOOM - it's actually quite impressive how well it holds up in the visceral "fun" departament for a game from 1993 and I learned to appreciate Quake 1 - although Quakes were always a bit too "edgy" for me - like an angry 90's kid decided to make a videogame. But Unreal 1 was always *the* FPS for me.

But I never understood the love of Half-Life. It was nowhere near as pretty as Unreal, it wasn't as visceral as Quake and IMO Unreal did the enviromental storytelling better. Not to mention the story, weapons and enviroments themselves were much more interesting in Unreal. I was just running around a grey science base with a shotgun shooting soldiers and aliens. I've seen it all before.
Half-Life was always as generic as it gets for me - especially compared to crazy levels of Quake 1 or Unreal. But to each it's own I guess.

>>5313765
>>5313712
unreal sp was fucking generic as fuck. a literally quake clone.

>>5313765
> Quakes were always a bit too "edgy" for me - like an angry 90's kid decided to make a videogame

They actually are, and that's what people love and connect with in them.

It's okay that Unreal isn't that popular, it's a game for a more specific niche audience, more complex and generous idea-wise product, that definitely made games as they are now, yet not so appreciated.

>>5313820
Both games play nothing like each other, and Unreal started development before Quake anyway.

>>5313956
still feels more generic than hl1 to me.

>>5310128
there is absolutely nothing to talk about
I stopped mapping two years ago because the editor doesn't work in windows 10

>>5313956
>>5313820
Nah, Unreal was much slower and more "contemplative" so to speak. Instead of throwing enemies at you (I think there are only two instances - ISV Karn and the Mothership when game throws shitton of cannon fodder at you) the fights were more like duels with elite and smart enemies.
And much more emphasis was put on puzzle-solving and exploration. And the story surpisingly enough.
Compared to Quake 1 "you are a lonely soldier, those are monsters from... somewhere, kill them all, don't ask questions" the entire story and backdrop from Unreal was very detailed with Prisoner 849 being either a chosen avatar of the Godess, or cynically using the beliefs of a primitive race to survive on a hostile planet. It was actually quite well written game.

>>5313916
Don't get me wrong - this edge works quite well in Quake 1 and it's Lovecraftian themes. It makes for an interesting backdrop. Not so much in Quake 2 IMO.

>definitely made games as they are now, yet not so appreciated.

I kinda find it amusing that Half-Life gets the praise for things Unreal did first.

>Half-Life had really smart enemies, that could cooperate, ambush and predict player movement.
Unreal did it first with the Skaarj - motherfuckers actually tried to zone the player with their projectiles. And their AI could read player keyboard input.
>Half-Life weapons introduced alternate fire.
Unreal did it first. And that included alternate fire combos like with ASMD and Eightball Gun.
>Half-Life introduced enviromental storytelling.
Unreal also did it first. It was just slightly more hamfisted about it with translator messages.

>>5314062
And most fps after half life were influenced after it.
Keep seething unrealfag.
Also no one say that hl invented alt fires. Nice strawman.
>>Inb4 hl ruined fps.

>>5314083
cs ruined fps.

>>5314030
>Windows 10

Man I used to play this shit religiously like a decade ago. So much fun, mostly deathmatch and assault.
The trials were also ridiculously fun.
Do people even play UT2004 nowadays ? Installed the game again like a year ago and could barely find a full server.

>>5317264
>>5314083
LOL calm down incel

>>5319698
It's not bad game by itself, it's just not Unreal.
Made not by original game devs, and based more on Halo than Unreal aesthethics, It was inspiration for Warframe and Mass Effect to come later.

>>5320292
>fucked up how long these load times are
I think this was an Unreal Engine 2 thing, I recall having bad loading times in UT2k4 too, maybe it depended on your system.

>>5320758
Could also be the type of OS they are using. UE2 games should load it quickly on modern systems.

>>5319698
An okay sci-fi game that uses the Unreal title to garner sales. It's like Fallout 3, the game is just a spin-off, not an actual sequel.

>>5321582
literally me

>>5319698

Didn't have enough in common with the first game. Basically just a generic sci-fi world with Skaarj in it.
Released without multiplayer.

>>5319771
Knew which track it was gonna be before I even clicked.

Only memorable song in the entire game. Absolute banger, though. It's also probably the last piece of music in the series that sounds like anything from first two games.

>>5324296
>It's also probably the last piece of music in the series that sounds like anything from first two games.

I don't know why meshes were not considered ever, I can understand not using them in 98 but even 2 years later there were no excuses

There are some meshes used for pipes in the next map, though.

This has kind of bugged me for a while. Why exactly does 849 get on that rocket? What motivation does she really have?

Life with the Nali honestly seems preferable to anything waiting in store for a convict.

>>5326608
because Na Pali is also a really fucking dangerous place to live, judging by all of the dead people you see on your journey there

Unreal was surprisingly realistic in its depiction of a crash landing in an unknown planet.

While Epic is making money off of Fortnite, they should fund the new UT, remove that free to play crap and just apply a budget on it. They have the fucking money to do it.

Am I the only one who hates deep shadows in arena shooters, or just deep shadows in general? I hate not being able to see shit. I don't care it's "atmospheric". I crank the gamma way up and even use the DX6 renderer so that it doesn't put shadows everywhere.

>>5332507
No, you're not.

Anyone who ever played even remotely competitively cranked their gamma.

>>5332507

also screenshots always have the same brightness no matter the setting

>>5331674
They haven't actually given a fuck about UT since 2006 when GoW proved to be a superior cash cow, not really surprising that they'd throw all their chips at Fortnite given how retardedly popular it is.

>>5326887
>prisoner 849 is the dangerous place
Um... I wouldn't mind getting inside her to validate that claim.

>>5331674
they have enough money to fund 50 ut developments for years

What if Unreal and UT had the level of modding Doom has?

What if I was happy?

>>5333686
You wouldn't be spending your life on /vr/

Do UT99, UT2004, or UT3 have players still? I tried playing the beta but that thing is almost as dead as lawbreakers.

>>5333574
Then the game would still be alive today.

I suspect the reason it doesn't largely boils down to uscript being intimidating to non-coders when compared to zdoom's DECORATE, and the difficulty of exporting 3d models to unreal's obscure and forgotten file format.

>>5333691
UT99 still has some servers that get crowded, UT2k4 is on life support and UT3 is probably completely forgotten.

>>5333718
Fuckin wish Epic released the source codes for Unreal and UT99 (Maybe even UT2004) a decade ago.
I doubt anyone would return to it if it was released now and people started making better source ports and tools.

>>5333871
Funny cause UT3 got a steamworks update so it could still be played.

>>5333718
have you tried making a model for quake?
unreal is 100 times easier

>>5333718
>obscure and forgotten
BS. Every game had official importers/exporters for tools like 3DS MAX.

>>5334525
>have you tried making a model for quake?
>unreal is 100 times easier

I have, and .mdl has a lot more support than .3d, although you run into similar problems with both. Honestly, there isn't a massive amount of recent content that adds new models into Quake either, for the same reason, I imagine.

>>5334626
>Every game had official importers/exporters for tools like 3DS MAX.

Yeah, no shit, but that was 20 years and a dozen versions of 3D Studio ago. Unless you've got a 20 year old version of 3D studio running on your system, you're fucking around with unofficial import/export scripts that may or may not fully support what you're trying to do.

Nothing made in the last 15 years has official support unreal .3d

>>5335053
Some other programs like Milkblend supported UT imports/exports, unfortunately for an old program a lot of those are lost in 404 territory.

>>5325981
it's "zephon"
I'm trying to install this and the oldschool mod doesn't appearin the mod tab
I don't know what I'm doing wrong
Zephon requires you to have your Unreal Tournament game installed and patched to the latest version (version 436).
You also need oldskool to play Zephon which is included in the zip file. No additional bonus packs are required.

To install Zephon first make sure your Unreal Tournament game is patched to the latest version. To get the latest
patches please visit www.beyondunreal.com. After patching your game extract the oldskool239.zip file in the "Extras" folder to your Unreal Tournament folder.d file which can be found.
Finish your installation by unzipping the contents of the "projectzephon.zip" file into your Unreal Tournament directory (e.g. C:\UnrealTournament). All files should automatically be placed in their appropriate folders.

Every files should be installed this way :

".umx" in your "UnrealTournament/music" folder
".u" and ".int" in your "UnrealTournament/System" folder
".utx" in your "UnrealTournament/Textures" folder
".unr" in your "UnrealTournament/Maps" folder
".uax" in your "UnrealTournament/Sounds" folder
2. Getting Started

To play Zephon:

- go to the main menu inside your Unreal Tournament game,
- under the tab that says "Mods", first enable the "oldskool" mod,
- under options choose "OldSkool configuration -> SinglePlayer and uncheck "UT Minigun" (this is imporant, as Zephon doesn't provide ammo for this weapon!),
- choose "New Singpleplayer Game", select "Project Zephon" from the list of available packs, set your difficulty level and hit start.

>>5336754
never mind, I tried to install it in a copy of the ut99 folder and steam always force the original .exe to run even though I'm trying to run the copied .exe

>>5335053
But you can make a model in blender, export it in a *.3ds format and convert that to unreal.
At least last time I checked (2017), that still worked.

>>5337028
Even high poly models?

>>5337023
this is strange, why it calls steam?
ut2004 doesn't do that

>>5337040
I don't really know about unreal limitations, but you can make a 20k faces (unreal: nodes) sphere and export it twice (via milkshape) into an unreal brush, pic related.
You can add it to your level. It works, but I think the whole thing will crash after more than 40k nodes. And I don't know anything about the limits on models, but the basics seem to work.

>>5338423
What if you just take a model from somewhere else and import it into the game after jumping through the hoops?

>>5338438
>somewhere else
like what? Another game?
Milkshape supports a couple of older games. I guess at the worst you just get the mesh and would have to redo any animation and texture work. At best everything can be brought over as is with some tweaking. Even then it's a hassle, but I don't see any reason it shouldn't work.
There is some software on the oldrunreal website that converts *.3ds format into unreal actors with animation and textures, as long as you modify them to play nice with unreal. I have made a simple decoration like that. Had to mess around with the scripting for a bit(I don't know nothing 'bout coding, so i just copy pasted until it worked). No idea about animation or player/weapon models tho.

If black magic can convert any of those to UT then surely anything else will work too.

Gamma space lighting plagued old games. Half-Life is an exception.

this is a ut3 model inside 2k4 with baked bump maps

Can 2004 even render that thing?

unreal is shit

>high level UT was just ADADAD
>Quake Live is the greatest
Quite ironic considered UT has the dodge to throw in some variety during combat while in Quake there is literally nothing other than ADAD during combat since jumping is suicide against LG.
>too hitscan heavy
Quite ironic given that 2/3 of the most important weapons in QL are hitscan.

>>5339259
That's pretty good, just needs to realign the weapons and it's a solid model.

>>5333718
Oh but there's more. gzdoom now has zscript, which draws a lot of inspiration from unrealscript, and thanks to me it directly supports unreal's own .3d model format (which I've written a couple tools to extract/edit/export).

>>5339949
Straight up LG vs LG is rare in Quake Live because two really good players will normally come off about equal from such a battle. Usually one player has more of a stack, so it's rare to see them face off ADADAD like that. LG accuracy that sets one pro apart from another comes from other situations.

With Quake you just have the trifecta to count on, with UT2k4 you can use almost the entire arsenal to beat down the guy.

daily reminder that the assault rifle is better than the enforcer

>why yes I do play siege in UT, what gave it away?

slightly off topic but since the cucks at Valve killed support for XP and I literally cannot play any of my older games from Steam on my toaster anymore, what do I use? I really don't like GOG because of autistic reasons, should I just resort to physical copies and piracy? I really want to play UT99 again but I don't have a retail copy.

This is wrong. AI in FEAR actually understands what part of the map would give it cover or what routes to flank you without it being prescripted and actually makes moment to moment decisions on where to go because the AI programmers designed the maps which is why the level design is so boxy and simple.
The only thing fake in FEAR is the vocal communication.
