Well, I for one, don't think UT has done much different than other games on the market. It's pretty much Q3 with the proper allotment of gametypes. That being said, I keep playing it and I quit playing Q3 a long time ago. I think alot of it has to do with the engine, it can really produce some beautiful visuals, it runs great and if your in to modding, I don't know of a more powerful, very-well documented & supported platfor for making customizations. It really is amazing how much more there is to this game than just the game (between UnrealEd, 3rdparty scripting editors, texture utilities, etc).

I'm holding out for some of the mods to be released that are in the works. I think the mod community will be the one to deliver real gameplay innovation for UT2K3. Its a shame but that pretty much always been the case (Team Fortress, CTF for Quake, CStrike, DoD for Halflife, etc.)

Hmmm, I havn't been able to join a Invasion server, even when there is room. What gives? I'll check out the levels later I guess. 10 new ones?

There's an assault mod in the works for UT2k3, and LMS is returning with this patch Ray... either way, happiness is just around the corner

I would argue that they took out much of the character in the original, making it more of a Quake clone, but the game did drop my favorite game type.

Playing through IGI 2,

whatever your preference is about UT2k3 ya gotta respect epic for their support. They are among the best to support their games this well, and one of the best in terms of extra FREE content post release. UT2k3 wasnt all I was hoping for, but its fairly fun nonetheless, and look forward to some good mods hopefully pimping some vehicles.

I really like UT2003. It's nothing revolutionary, but it's a fun game. The biggest problem it has is that a lot of the maps that it was released with were not very good. There is starting to be a pretty good-sized pool of user-created maps now though, some of which are quite good, so that's becoming less of a problem. As for the game types, well yeah, they are basically the same as what other FPS games offer. Bombing run is something that is relatively new though and a lot of fun, along with the Deathball and Overload mods, I think there's probably something for everyone. It's definitely the best looking FPS game out there right now, if you have the hardware to crank the settings anyway.

Personally, I like the game just fine. It was pretty much what I expected. One of the main complaints that I hear about the game is, "I was expecting more"... but then they rarely say what they were expecting or what innovations should have been included other than "well, it should be different than other multiplayer FPS games". That's what it is, it's a multiplayer FPS, and if you like these type games I don't know why you wouldn't like this one. Of course you may like Quake or UT more, but that's just a matter of taste.

Of course I could be wrong... but really, what are the chances of that happening twice?

I love Unreal. Really nice of them to release free "expansions". Nox also had a free expansion. I hope one day they make NOX2 :/ I don't even see Nox listed on the Westwood site anymore tho

...I may have to actually reinstall the game and play through it again. I mean, I would not want these two bonus packs to feel all alone...

Prefering the original game,
Ray

Well, it pushed Q3 off my hard drive and i REALLY liked Q3... I'm sure both can co-exist peacefully but unfortunately i don't have much drive space. DM-TokaraForest and DM-Inferno are fantastic maps but i'm sure you'll have your own favs in no time! IMHO of course

honestly if you felt uninspiring by the demo, you are gonna feel the same of the full version & be $XX poorer

Bah, nothing great. Two of the new gametype are nothing more then simple mutator. Mutant and LMS are nothing great. The map are usual UT2003 maps, DE's Bonus Pack map were much better IMO.
The only thing left is Invasion wich is rather fun (and should be much better online), but overall, I'm disapointed.

What do people think of Unreal Tournament 2003 like? Any good? I played the demo and I thought it was a bit uninspiring but that was only a demo. I'm impressed to see them releases things like this so that's a plus. I enjoy arcade FPSs (I still play Quake3) so if it's any good I'm confident it'll be my kind of thing.

GAME have about £10 off so it's £25 - if it's worth getting, it's worth getting now, but I'd like some opinions.

War isn't about who's right, its about who's left.

I tried the full version for a bit and wasn't too impressed by it. The gameplay was pretty much the same in the full version as it was in the demo - the full version, to me, didn't offer much more than the demo.
