I'm fine with UT2k4, since it's the one I played the very most. It's still very well balanced, but now with a more hitscan focus, with the shock rifle firing faster and the removal of the 8 rocket sweep.

I remember playing either a mod or a mutator that added a grapple beam. It was so great having midair battles beneath CTF-Face.
ChaosUT, always fun to play with the grapple hook. They have a UT99 and UT2k4 version, and it came on disc 2 of the GOTY version of UT, along with other greats like Unreal Fortress and Jailbreak

I heard this was in the GOTY edition, which I have. How do I access these mods that are included? I bought the gog.com version if that makes a difference.

I mentioned the disc 2 part for a reason. If you want them now, you have to download them. This is a good idea anyway, since the versions that came with the GOTY are kinda out of date.

I have both 99 and 2k4, so either one is fine. I actually quit a while back, and my current mouse is...not designed for gaming, but I'm pretty sure I can still kick ass.
I'd prefer 99 since I've played that one far more (about five years now, as opposed to a few weeks with 2k4). It also has my favourite gametype ever: Siege.
im close to crying because i want some good old times fragging again but i live in a land of slow and controlled internet, but i'll try coming for some 2k4.
You guys are killing me. I can't find my second disk of 2004, I have Unreal 3 on Steam since they accept my activation code. I also think I have all the disks for 2003(3) but I never had 99.

For those of you on Windows who don't want to go through the hassle of killing your browser, starting UT2004 and connecting to an address from the server browser, here's a little something that will let you connect to a server through your browser:
Just change the .exe path to point to your UT2004.exe, save it to a .reg file and run it like any other program - it'll be added to your registry. I promise you, it won't break anything.
2k4 seems to hit that sweet spot of 1) being new enough to run easily on a modern system (no futzing with GPU drivers) and 2) being old enough to be able to completely max out and enjoy all settings.
Actually, wait, shit, I bought 2k4 back when I was running the Windows 7 Beta. I wonder if I can somehow download load that and insert the files into a mac application....hmm.
Ugh, not worth finding a Windows disc around here though.

Ah well. For me there was about a half-second delay between me firing the sniper rifle and the shot actually hitting something - which had interesting results when I got into a close-range sniper duel with someone.
I'm guessing there isn't anything like ZPP for 2k4?
I wonder if my PC key would work in the Mac version of the game...
Yes.
Shit. I'm tempted to torrent the Mac version, go install Steam on my mom's PC to get the key and insert that...
...ugh, but it's so legally shakey....
Edit: Alternatively it seems I can download the PC version on another computer, pull all those files over to my Mac and replace the demo's files with them.....problem is I don't have a flash drive or any way to transfer files between computers.

EDIT: I used to do that fairly often, actually. I'd change my name to HAMMER_TIME and go to town.

Are just as effective with the chainsaw? I think it's more rewarding. But it's hardly ever turned on in servers, it seems.
edit: I'm seriously considering renting a server from gameservers for us.

Like the demo days
Don't joke like that, there are still Demo DM-Rankin and CTF-Face servers up and full
