Don't get me wrong, UT 2003 is still a very solid and wildly entertaining game. The graphics are improved, there's more character models, and a new game mode called Bombing Run that is UT's version of Rugby/Football, which is very cool. Aside from bringing back the basic fun of the original, there are so many things lacking. First off: the weapons. Yes they brought back old favorites like the Flak Gun, Rocket Launcher, and Gatling Gun, but none of these are as fun to use as their original versions. And where did the sniper rifle go! It has turned into a lame Lightning Gun that just doesn't do it for me. It just seems that the updated weapons are overall not as fun to use.
The pace of UT 2003 is also so chaotic (which seems good at first) that it feels like you are merely hopping around firing at whatever, hoping to strike your target.
My favorite game mode from the original UT was domination. The updated Domination 2.0 in 2003 is not as fun. And while the maps are nicer looking, they do not seem to sport the same creativity as some of the better maps in the original.
