/vr/ - Retro Games

Peak UT99 and Quake 3 were glorious times. I want to go back.

It's hard to believe that the same company that made some of the best FPS multiplayer games now has Conclave and Lunaro.

Quake 3 was better and if you don't believe me you're either a retard or a nigger

Quake was better for 1v1's, but I found team matches more fun in UT.

>>8617329
UT has more fun weapons and MUCH more community made content. All Q3A had going for it is the movement. For playing with bots, UT wins hands down.

We have some friday evening office LAN party with pizza, drinks... and Q3 tonight :)

It also has better music and better maps

floaty movement and nerfed flak cannon? no thanks. 2k4 is UT trying to be Quake.

The day that they rerelease UT99 with some revamped gay shit I will have a terabyte of custom maps to drop for the occasion

It might be the same company name, but I can pretty much guarantee you no one working there were there back in their glory days. Certainly no one working on the code.

POLSKA GUROM

Floaty movement
Nerfed weapons
Can't launch teammates
Massively favors defensive play

No thanks.

Hated it on release and I still hate it today.

>jump into a pure Deathmatch server
>bullets and rockets flying everywhere on various maps, and some players are just telefragging their way around the map and switching to ambushing people with the melee weapon for fun
>jump into a CTF server
>intense back and forth battles on many of the official maps
>jump into an Assault server
>good fun on some maps, stalemate on others
>also good selection of insta-gib servers, low-gravity servers, and of course, the 24/7 campfests on Facing Worlds
>thousands of active servers with 30+ players

>1 basic 24/7 Facing Worlds server
>10-20 heavily modified servers running custom maps/gamemodes with less than 10 players each
>80-100 completely dead servers
You really can't play the game outside of against bots these days, unless you want to play something that barely resembles the game, or fucking Facing Worlds with people who have been sniping on that map for 20 years.

Yea I miss it, I used to love playing assault in UT99. I could launch the game any time of day in the summer and there was always active servers full of people playing. It's all dead now outside of 1-2 servers and they only peak on weekends and no one is playing assault anymore.
