Re: Happy 20th birthday, Unreal !
We're getting older everyday.
I have a hard time remembering there's been more time between UT3 and today than between Unreal and UT3.

Re: Happy 20th birthday, Unreal !
Just a heads up:
Unreal Gold is free on Steam and GOG to celebrate the 20th anniversary! The offer ends on 24 May at 6PM (not sure what time zone though). If for some reason you are on these forums and haven't picked this game up yet, now is the perfect opportunity to do so!
Steam:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/13250/Unreal_Gold/
GOG:
https://www.gog.com/game/unreal_gold
I was expecting a discount to celebrate, but I could not believe they are giving it away for free.

Re: Happy 20th birthday, Unreal !
I absolutely loved this game. It came out in 1998 and I got it in 2001 I played it again and again for 12 years between 2001 to 2013 until my old pc broke, and even though I no longer have the game, i have fond memories of the game. I have played the game longer than any other game I played and consider it one of the best game I ever played. With my busy life now i hardly have any time to play any games anymore, but memories of this game will live forever in me. I have done a short map by map analysis of the game for all the maps in it,, feel free to check it out if you want:

Re: Happy 20th birthday, Unreal !
DM servers are noticeably more populated than usually these days :-) Wish we had more servers with decent maps, mods, and network bandwidth.
UTeamFix deservers special mentioning. This mod automatically bans players for suiciding (which is actually a normal tactical method that helps to save some time in case of an inevitable death - e.g. in lava and other deadly zones). Although banning is only temporary (it says that you can return after 5 map changes), when you played 1 on 1, this silly and absolutely needless penalty implies that the other guy is supposed to either play deathmatch alone or wait until someone else joins the game (good luck with that). Whoever implemented this nonsense, he deserves a medal for a great achievement in absurd programming.
