What ruins UT is the limitations of the maps (amongst other things). There is just no freedom.
Actually I prefer the indoor levels as opposed to the more open levels favoured by UT2k3/4. You don't need freedom if it feels like you actually have control over skirmishes and that it's actually about skill rather than overly powerful weapons. UT got it just right but both subsequent games lost that, even though they were still enjoyable to a degree.
