Oh man, this is such good news.
UT99 is fine. I played it so much in the early 2000s, would put on Offspring albums while playing with bots; we had dialup and I couldn't play with EU, let alone US. But UT2004 is IMO much better and allows for different styles of play.
I just hope the community will be big enough. A lot of the retro FPS games servers are dominated by people who have been playing for 20+ years and its difficult to get into them (even if you played the games a lot back in the day).
Ut99 is still the one for me. But I got to play online, and at LAN parties.
They lost me after that it never felt as responsive.
There also weren't as many crazy mods as 99 had either.
I'm with you, I like UT 2004 fine, but OG UT was near peak FPS game for me. The only FPS I liked as much was Quake3:Arena, which was out at the same time. It was a golden age for competitive FPS games.
