But it ruined the game !
The whole point of UT was very fast death match play. All the later versions concentrated on too much gfx and fancy weapons....took away the point of playing. Its the same with Painkiller and Quake 4 example....
Quake 3 is soooo much better in comparison because it focussed on the game and not fancy gfx like Quake 4 does...and what do you know Quake 4 is now dead aswell and Quake 3 has made a return !
