It's an excellent game IMO. Offers fast paced multiplayer action. If you don't want to play online, you can play against Intelligent, AI controlled bots in a wide variety of game modes and on over 100 maps.

Ya there's a demo for it somewhere. You could probably find it on gamespot or most other sites that have demos.

The game's really good and has some really good mods as well

I recommend it. It was the first real PC game I bought. I played it for 2 and a half years. It never got old. There's a huge mod community where you can always download new maps, skins, and gametypes. The actual gameplay is fast and frentic. Expect to have to move constantly and jump around. Lots of death and explosions. The graphics are still on par with some of the stuff that's still being released today, and it doesn't even take a GREAT computer to play it. I give it a 9.7/10. (Plus, it's only about $15 now.)

It was fun for a while, but really didn't care for the respawn system. I could kill the same guy 4 times waiting for an objective point to cap. The environments and vehicles were awesome. The weapons were typical of the UT series. Wsa worth playing even against AI foes, but the frustration I mentioned eventually killed it for me.

It's a very cool game, but I say Counter Strike is better.

One of the best shooters out there. Also go to gamespots page for it and look at downloads. I beleive there is over 400 mods and 600 maps to download so that could take some time to go threw.

Used to play a botmatch daily. Now that daily game fix slot has been firmly replaced by SupCom, though. Anyway, it's just good old fast-paced action-packed fun, in the same style as Quake and of course Unreal Tournament, in contrast to the pseudo-realism team tactics affair that is CS:S. The two games really doesn't compare, they are so different.

Yeah, it's a great game with infinite mod potential. I wouldn't compare it to CSS though, they're tremendously different styles.

UT2k4 is arcadey with huge environments, vehicles, modifiers, and sci-fi fun.

CSS is slow, round based on smallish maps and pretty realistic damage.

I personally like UT 2k4 over CSS because I feel UT 2k4 is a lot more unique than other shooters and it is probably one of the fastest paced multiplayer fps out there.

This topic has been talked to DEATH.

Do some search, you will see me in many other topics\threads praising the game. It is excellent, it's fast paced, still good graphics but can run even on on-boards GPUs, lots of mods and smart, realisticAI if you can't play online for whatever reason.

It's a very fun game, but there really is no point comparing it to CS: Source; it's like comparing apples and oranges. While CS: Source is a more tactical and realistic game, UT2004 is a more SHOOT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AND BLOW STUFF UP game. Both very fun, but I like UT2004 more.

How good is it? Well it came out in 2003, and I'm still playin it.

Its an awesome game. Fast, intense, and (more importantly) fun. Single player is great, and the mutliplayer is a lot of fun. If you get bored or want to spice it up, there plenty of mods and mutators for the game that bring it great value. Definitely recommend it my brother.

I like the fastpaced gameplay more than CS, which really sucks for me cause I can't find a server below 100 ping in ut2k4 cause I live out in the boonies and can't get a great internet connection.

If you like fast paced games where everyone jumps around and move like they are on crackplus no teamwork, then you will love UT 2004.

CS S is good if you like bullets and modern guns and theme like me...

Unreal 2004 is more about arena combat agility and splash damage o and how quick you can double straft

Ever played UT2004?

No teamwork? LOL. Ever played CTF? Bombing Run? Onslaught? Domination?

You have no idea what you're talking about.

No..you're thinking of Quake.

UT2004 is hitscan dominant, and the only weapons that have splash damage have extremely small blast radii, and do minimal amounts of damage.

I say wait for Unreal tournamen 3 man. 04 is good but there aren't many mods for it. The community has shrunk and is pretty quiet. Half Life 2 has a huge community get that if you don't have it which you probably do. Otherwise I say wait.

The most fun multiplayer games are deathmatch multiplayer games. Call them deathmatch, call them arena, call them whatever you want. Point is is that speed, mayhem, and brutality is what makes multiplayer fun. UT2K4 is a great example of deathmatch multiplayer and it also tries brings in a new element... vehicles. The game is just brilliant and will never get old. However, UT2k4 isn't a shining enough example of deathmatch to top Counter strike.

I believe that Quake 3: Arena is the leader of deathmatch games and beats out Counter strike in terms of skill and excitement. At first, Quake 3 was just a shoot first, think later type of game. Then I found the vets and pros, the people that participate in events such as Quakecon, the players that take into consideration everything from frames to angle to eveverything else under the defrag category. Quake 3 all of a sudden became one of the most skillful games out there on the market, and still is.

Beware. On many servers the people have been playing an long time, and you will get waxed a lot. Try to find a demo server to start out with in TDM.

Yes, you can play on demo servers with the full game.

I like it, but weather it is better than CSS is up to the individual. The game is much more chaotic and is completely different in every aspect. I like CSS better, but UT2k4 is an amazingly fun game.
