Havn't heard anyone say anything about this, but is looks like UT2K4 will come out for Mac and PC at the same time. That is pretty good for the mac gaming community! I can't wait!
Now if only those people working on Half Life 2 would be so kind...
Yeah I never got used to 2k3. I liked the old sniper rifle. Charge someone, shoot anywhere near there chest, and it rings out "HEAD SHOT!" 8)
The headshot announcement got a little boring for me, so I installed a mod that changed "HEADSHOT!" to "CROTCHSHOT!" and also changed the approprate "target" area.

Now, UT 2003 was ten times worse than the original UT. So will UT 2004 be ten times worse than UT 2003, and one hundred times worse than the original?
Can you enlighten us on what you don't like about 2003? The only thing that I disliked was the omission of Assault, but that issue appears to be moot with 2004.

I'm curious to hear what you have to say.
I've been playing the original UT since the demo was released in late October of '99 (or was it November?) Anyway...
When UT2003 came out I bought it immediately and was very disappointed.
It looks great, but they screwed up the gameplay completely.
It feels too floatly with all that double jumping crap, forced relics on us with that adreneline BS and, most importantly, the weapons pretty much suck compared to the original UT.
And what happened to the OS X port of UT? I'm still waiting for that so that I can get rid of my Pee Cee.
I won't be playing UT2003 again or 2004, but the Unreal II XMP Demo is really, really fun.
And you know what? It doesn't work. Not in Classic either, gives me the same C++ -48 runtime error or something, tried on 10.2.6 and and 10.2.8. With preview 3. That open source project has been going for years but hasn't turned anything out yet, has it? Maybe Preview 3 will work in Panther. I'll test that in a few weeks when I get the Pantha.

I hear there are vehicles in this one
I love the original UT, but 2k3 didn't really do it for me, maybe 2k4 will be better.
either way, that is great news that they are doing a simultaneous release, help get the message out that macs can be valid gaming machines

I'm guessing it just about won't.
all that silly grunting and etc . . .
Not as ellegant as the original
maybe that is why they made a quick update . . . hopefully
either way, I can't play 2003 or 04 on my dual 500 . . . so I don't really care until I get my G5 . .. . . or by the time I can afford it G6

IT'S OFFICIAL!
MacNN scoop
...and the virtually identical Macminute story
Awesome.
EDIT: I found a great Macworld UK article that provides a much better story.
Macworld UT2004
I loved that game, played it for a number 1 team in europe. Fingers crossed.
G5 it is then.

If you don't like adrenaline, don't use it!
