I thought UT99 looked like crap even when it came out. The weapons looked nice, but the player meshes and the levels were horrible. It takes more than pretty weapons to make a game good.
duh... it takes pretty everything
 
UT99 is one of the best game around...

If you use STSC textures it actually looks good as HALO..

I played UT99 for 4 years and it's still a great game today...

The weapons, levels, were far superior... This is the first time people started doing combos with their weapons on FPS game....
 
UT99 was one of the best FPS games I ever played. I didn't even start playing it until '01 (gotta love being a Freshman in college :p )
 
UT was pure MP
Halo had good MP but just cannot compete

The SP experience of UT was bot matches not so great
While the SP of Halo was good at the start it just died half way

UT got modded and was designed to change
Halo was great console game(compared to other console games at the time) trying to be something it wasn’t

Next time you FRAK up a game so you can sell your consoles at least make sure you unFRAK it for the PC version

im sick of hearing about how halo is the best game of all time from nearly everyone in my school. it was good for a while. but after playing it and nothing but it for three years after it came out, it has gotten really stale and boring. people over here need to get introduced to real fpses, like cs or ut. hell, i'll take daikatana at this point :(.
And I'm sick of all that Halo bashing that goes on on this forum. Do like I have to and just get over it.
 
No contest. Halo was a shitty, buggy, poorly optimized port. It could have been an amazing game, and it was expected to be the next tribes until MS bought out bungie.


How can anyone seriously try to compare halo and ut99? Besides being from different eras, UT was SO MUCH BETTER.

i wasn't bashing halo, just stating the fact that my school is saturated with idiot halo fans who play absolutely nothing but halo. there's nothing wrong with halo. i actually loved the single player. but enough's enough.
 
UT is an amazing game, and definitley one of the best multiplayer game I've played, but why are there so much Halo bashing? Halo's single player's AI was pretty good for the time and was fun as hell on Legendary mode. The multiplayer apsect wasn't bad either, it was fun with Warthog wars in the middle of CTF maps. I know it's annoying that Xbox fans praise Halo as if its he best games ever, but if you ignore the hype, Halo is a pretty good game.

UT99! No Contest! OMG i lost 1000's of hours on this game. :D
I remember playing it for the first time in college as a Freshman. We started at 8:00 at night, and were having a blast. After a while, I looked at the clock and realized that we had been playing for 8 straight hours.

Now I'm addicted to UT2004 RPG Invasion....

What server do you play on? I love RPG Invasion but my two favorite servers both died. :(
I don't recall the exact server name, but it's something like |Krazy|N|..something Advanced|RPG|...something. I used to play on the OSOK server, but they recently reset and I'm not a fan of their new rules. There was one other one, but I forget the name (I just remember it has "Invasion #1" in the title...)

Ah, found the server name: |Krazy|N|Spunkys|Advanced|RPG|Invasion|

 
I have never played ut99 ..but still play halo on a lan I have set up for the kids here at a school for troubled teens that I work at .. kids have a blast playing it (guys and girls) and I enjoy hopping on into a match when I can and sometimes other staff will join in as well .. the kids get a kick out of putting us older folks in our place .. :p

...that is ..until I start turning up the ownage meter ! :eek:

lol

UT99 is the best FPS ever. Nothing else compares, especially not Halo(which, by the way, wasn't that graphically impressive when it came out and by today's standards looks like ass).

That would be S3TC.
 
Without even reading any other posts, I am going to say this to the best of my knowledge....

Halo sucks.

With that said, UT99 wins by a few thousand miles. :D

If you chose Halo, I can bet you started gaming on the Xbox and have never played UT99 (or even know what it is). There is just no damn way possible.
 
I still remember when the UT1 Demo came out, I think they had DM-Morpheus and some other map included in it. That was huge at the time - it certainly lived up to the hype. Servers popped up everywhere and I know it was really hard to get in at peak times.

The thing about UT was how innovative it was. Lots of variation in the weapons, not the simple boring left-click-only Quake weapons, no these were more fun.

I remember discovering how to hold down the right mouse button with the rocket launcher to start loading up rockets, then hold down the left mouse button whilst targeting an opponent. If you kept track of them for long enough then the rockets would chase them down pulling off a satisfying kill :)

The levels were unique too, lots of different locations and themes. Remember CTF-Face? That was awesome just standing in the middle of that level while the whole level spun around out in space, planet earth a massive backdrop that dwarfed it for size.

The thing that pissed me off about Halo was that it was meant to come out for PC first. Obviously Microsoft jumped on the opportunity to make it their flagship game for the X-Box and they focused on developing it for that system. I played it on the X-Box and had a bit of fun, but I really feel that it could have been so much more if it were developed for PC first and foremost... Oh well.
