BEST UNREAL???

Hey guys, ever since I was a kid in 1999 (8 or 9 years old I was) I have LOVED Unreal Tournament with a passion. I never really got interested in the story games like Unreal/Unreal 2, but the ones where you just drop in, shoot the bejeezus out of everything and explode, I adore it.

but anyway, several unreals down the line i just wondered what is everyones favourite.

Choose from...
Unreal (including Na Pali pack)
Unreal Tournament
Unreal 2
Unreal Tournament 2003
Unreal Tournament 2004
Unreal Tournament 3

Any others you can think of?

Although I love the graphics and look of UT3, I think UT2004 is the best for online multiplayer with the mod-able maps and everything is just customisable sweetness.
But then I open up the 12-year-old Unreal Tournament and I just realise that it all stemmed from this, this was the ground breaker that so many games today are built on, from or otherwise have taken inspiration from in some way.

I sound like an Unreal geek, I'm really not, but it's probably my favourite game to play when I get time for PC games, I just thought it would be fun to discuss!

DISCUSS!

PS if anyone still plays on UT2004, look up 'Ass-Ripping Sniper Server' in the match browser thingy, it's superb

Unreal. (Actually a good engine compared to the latter ones). It was the engine that was used in Deus Ex!

The first one? Cool. Glad I clicked 'quote' cos for some reason I couldn't read your '(Actually a good engine compared to the latter ones). It was the engine that was used in Deus Ex!

Cool beans. I thought it would be interesting unearthing the old ones heheh

Yep you're right there Deific thanks. UT3 definitely could have been better...however for me it was the gorgeous visuals we'd been waiting for from unreal, topped it off nicely.
UT was still the most free though... made you feel ace

I CANT GET MY UT2004 TO LOOK GOOD on my big screen :'(
have a 1920x1080 LG LED 23" thing and ut2004 looks all blocky and rough, i change the ati catalyst settings and it smooths out a lot but i dont want to have to keep doing that all the time..
maybe i have to

Goodness yes, the MUSIC! the soundtrack to unreal tournament is just fantastic. at the risk of sounding sad, i loaded a handful of the best UT soundtracks onto my media player to listen to...
