Meeeh los controles en ps2 son raros y el aim es feo pero para pasar el rato esta mas o menos

download this, put deathmatch on loop, you wont need a new shooter anymore, asia carrera figured it all

1ère jeu vidéale, c'est pour cela que je suis violente aujourd'hui


Somebody hid this game on a network shared drive at my high school and I was in a computer lab class that was meant for taking online community college courses--we spent so much time instead playing this game on LAN. Even the nongamers in the class would join. One of my favorite gaming experiences in my entire life.

Um dos meus jogos de tiro favoritos, vai ficar faltando uma estrela porque a cambada de corno da Epic Games resolveu tirar TUDO que era jogo que tinha Unreal no título porque "auauauauaua Fortnite auauauauaua". Até hoje tô convencendo meus amigos a jogarem esse troço comigo.

such a core part of my childhood memory and even after all these years I still love it, it's honestly a shame there's no direct and easy way to download and play this anymore

Still come back to it sometimes though I have come to crave the sheer speed and intensity of Quake 3 more.

Quake III is better. Oh, and thanks, Mckalib, for letting borrow this! Now, I know that this game was incredibly average.

Oh man. This was (still is?) the fucking KING of multiplayer shooters. Amazing in every aspect, fun as hell single or multiplayer. Countless hours spent with this one.

i have played this game on ps2 for COUNTLESS HOURS. the controls were so bad and took great amount of time to get used to. but this was one of the best fps games ever. the maps, the guns... such a nostalgia trip.

Played this some random time on PS2 back in 2019. Some of the most fun i ever had blowing shit up! Thank god for bots. I have a good memory with this game. Got it right after a haircut, and it was one of my first PS2 titles.

THE game of my early teens and the first franchise I even considered myself a fan of.

UT99 for me wasn't just a Multiplayer game, in fact I barely played with other people, mostly played against Bots.

What I saw and felt was the atmosphere, the cool characters, interesting locations, the awesome guns and snappy gameplay.

Just simply existing in this world, sometimes choosing to defend the base from Ai instead of rushing into battle, hearing the bots communicate over the coms. Analysed their tactics and movements to learn the game.

I played this game my way, and in doing so got immersed in the world created (however unreal it was)

While many were introduced to the FPS genre by legendary games like Doom or Quake, I landed at just the right time to pick up Unreal Tournament. It was a visceral and eclectic introduction to the genre with an all-in-one package that featured a little bit everything and a focus on variety.

From the incredible map designs like Phobos and Facing Worlds, the chaos of everyone having personal teleporters, and the various character models to play with, UT was a game that took the best of everything that came before it and put it in one place. Each of its weapons feel like it's own playstyle (a design that would go on to inspire the modern hero shooters), it had the iconic announcer voice, and of course there were so many different game modes and modifiers - aka Mutators.

You could play a very grounded and tactical capture the flag game, or go wild with a deathmatch on a low gravity map, and insta-kill weapons. While you can say that UT never really came up with any of these concepts it did put them all together to create a fun game that was at just the right time for anyone to pick up and play. You didn't have to be the best at everything, know all the glitches, or adopt a meta. If you were new you could grab just about any weapon and get some kills while the more experienced players knew tricks like how to make the shock rifle bubbles explode and master rocket jumps. And of course you could always find the Redeemer nuclear rocket launcher and even the playing field by sending gibs bouncing around the room spraying blood everywhere.

While later versions of the game would focus more on gimmicks, elaborate game modes, and battlefield style vehicular combat, UT was very much the purest form of it's own playstyle. It exists now as a kind of perfect bubble that encapsulates the features, mechanics, and gameplay from that era. It may not be as ground-breaking, prolific, or well remembered but for me it still holds many of my favourite FPS experiences before the genre got so bogged down by legacy IP's and homogenised gameplay.

Game's aren't built to last like this anymore. I played on LAN for the first time with 3 friends and had the time of my life. You'll never get that experience with Apex or Fortnite.

Where it Shines:
ULTRAKILL - 10/10
MEGAKILL - 10/10
RAMPAGE - 10/10
GODLIKE - 10/10

The Good:

This game is the most fun I've ever had playing an FPS, and I grew up with Quake, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Timesplitters, etc. It's aged incredibly well, still has servers online, and full bot support if you just want to solo. The campaign has so many modes that are so fun to play to this day. The weapons are satisfying to use and the pure joy of just hearing your kill streak shouted at you by the announcer is just *chef's kiss.

The Bad:

I honestly can't complain about this game at all. Is it flawless? No, probably not, but I feel like I can't really give it a perfect score still as there is room for improvement.

Summary:

You can keep your Halos and CODs and Forknife and whatever else the heck you want to play - UT is just the greatest multiplayer FPS every made, purely for how fun and unrealistic it is. Highly recommend even today.


note on my ratings:
half ⭐: hot trash garbage
⭐: below average, needs work
⭐⭐: average
⭐⭐⭐: pretty good
⭐⭐⭐⭐: excellent
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: all time favourite
half star ratings between those mean it's slightly better or worse than stated in this list.

J'ai 5 ans, a la maison je jouais déjà à Tekken 3; Je pose mes mains sur la souris de mon oncle; sur unreal tournament.

Depuis les Fps / FastFPS ne m'ont jamais lachés.

kinda on off, not something you can really play specifically, mainly just for killing time

I used to play this so fucking long ago I don't remember a lot about it, but It used to be quite some fun.


One of the few games I still play occasionally, I don't play much shooters these days but I'm still one of the very few that still plays this after Epic Games removed the game from every online store, the characters look unique, gameplay is decently fast, it has cool people, iconic soundtrack, death screams and cool weapons, it's a pretty straightforward game and that's why I like it.

Ptain comment fallait avoir une ps1 a cette époque

The greatest game of all time, and the game that got me hooked on videogames from an early age. Music is fantastic, map design is fantastic, every gun feels fantastic, and each game mode is fun to play. This game is old but it doesn't feel outdated: a lot of the core mechanics in the game have carried on to later first person shooters. Despite its dwindling online and Epic Games taking this off most online retailers like Steam or GoG, this is still worth picking up and playing if you've never done so.
