Your favorite Unreal Tournament?

[hizaguchi]

The original UT is still my favorite video game of all time, but I'm thinking it might be time to pick up one of the later releases. I've messed around with the demos a little, and the prices are definitely good these days, but I'm just not sure which version to go for.

So which do you like best, and why?

UT2004 !!!

Reason: It's the only ut game I have
I'm totally hocked on onslaught player style

Im with ai but it was also the first ut i tryied and i just loved it but i didnt liked that it was on 3or 4 cds? Am i wrong?

[Perfect Storm]

I got the DVD version, so I don't complain

[haxer]

Oh is it a dvd version to omg that is great maybe by it can i only install it true cedega or can i do the little haxing version there i snatch some files and then installs it?

[Perfect Storm]

DVD version and it run natively in Linux: http://www.tuxgames.com/details.cgi?&gameref=123

Yep, UT2004 is gooooooooooood. Just get the DVD version to save you changing all the CDs.

Tried UT2003, had no vehicles.
vehicles = goodness = vehicular manslaughter.

You don't need Cedega to run UT2004, 'tis as easy as:
sudo sh linuxinstaller.sh

Then by using wine or unzipping the bonuspacks into your /usr/local/games/ut2004/ directory.

If the resolution is fixed at some crappy setting (say 800x600), change the x and the y resolution in ~/.ut2004/ut2004.ini (or was it user.ini?)
The ECEbonus pack was a little tricky to install, had to use 7zip in wine to do that

There is a UT2004 installation thread here somewhere in the forums. I'm just too lazy to look it up for you at the moment.

Now to hack out that annoying nVidia "the way it's meant to be played" intro at the start...

There's a .tar.bz2 of megapack. http://www.3dgamers.com/dlselect/gam...x.tar.bz2.html
Then unpack it (right click can do it)

cd /into/the/unpack/folder
sudo cp -r * /usr/local/games/ut2004

Oh thanks scandinavian brother

UT2k4 is so far ahead of all the previous versions that it will blow your mind...

Incorporating multiple great game formats that will keep you going for years in single player mode, & then to top it off, there is excellent software built in to find game servers for battling it out online in whatever of the multiple formats the game can be played that takes your fancy at the time...

Unreal!

[Edit:] I almost forgot, it installs natively & plays superbly for most. I hope you have a reasonable 3D graphics card?
