Unreal and Unreal Tournament series
-
I should probably have mentioned this here before, as I am Admin and Moderator on various Unreal related sites. Mostly I am usually editing maps rather than playing, but I am always easy to talk into joining a game. I prefer team games like TDM, CTF, Assault and Onslaught, and usually join the servers with the craziest weapons. I have all the versions, but spend more time playing the early ones. Currently Epic are working on the new UT4 with community development and feedback. Hopefully it will be able to capture some of the oldschool speed and crazy action missing from the modern slow arena shooters like Halo and CounterStrike. https://www.youtube.com/user/EpicUnrealTournament For some reason I can't get Youtube links working so you'll have to go and check the current vids on their profile.

Here is a couple of UT2004 maps I have tweaked for my own style of play.
UWRL-TrainRace by Steven Horton
I took this large map from UnWheel and converted it into a GTA vs Battlefield vs Unreal Tournament with zombies and Transformers.Main mods:
ChaosUT
Ballistic Weapons
Air Power
Species Statistics Plus
Zombies of NightmareMusic: Angels and Filth - RHCP v. DJ Hidden

It always annoys me that DM maps never have any usable vehicles, so I found some suitable for this map, and added them.Main mods:
ChaosUT
Ballistic Weapons
Species Statistics Plus
Zombies of Nightmare

There are not a lot of players, but I do often see people complaining in chat that they cannot see a server list.
I tell them to wait as the first time it can be a while.
Then again Epic is not very good at monitoring the masterserver status.Often you find that all it takes is a player to be seen on a server and others join, You can look at the info and rankings at GameTracker.com to see when servers get more action.

Old Unreal Tournament has a new patch being tested
This project is another fine product from members of OldUnreal and UT99.org.
OldUnreal release thread https://www.oldunreal.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1600846518
UT99.org thread https://ut99.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14127IMPORTANT !!!
Read the info before installing
https://github.com/OldUnreal/UnrealTournamentPatchesAll bug reports are to be submitted in github.
Discussions here will not be monitored for issues.This is the first release to the public for testing.
DO NOT INSTALL IN YOUR REGULAR GAME until you are sure it works with all your mods.
Install to a fresh copy of UT and then add your missing mods gradually to test.FAQ:
Q: Did Epic make UT99 open source ?
A: NoQ: Will there be an RTX version ?
A: NoQ: Why is my AV warning me about libcurl.dll ? Is it a false-positive ?
A: This file is built from official source but does not include the OpenSSL component, so the binary differs from the original. The next release will be using a build that AV are happy with, but for now you can delete (if you do not host internet games) or replace with the bigger official curl build. -
