I have just found my old copy of Unreal Tourney : GOTY Edition. I suck, I mean I really suck a lot. I was wondering if any Dopers still play it as I don’t mind being fragged with you guys. 🙂 Oh, and I’ve tried HL2, it just didn’t tickle my fancy. ---

May be off-topic but I loved UT2004 (until it got tedious) What’s GOTY? The thing I loved about UT2004 pre tedium is that I _didn’t_ suck. The tedium relates to sucking in the extreme. I loved HL2 (single player). ---

Game Of The Year. That’s what it says anyway. Oh and I liked HL2 single player, just not so much online. ---

He’s talking about the first UT from '99 (last century, man!). Back then they didn’t need to put years on them because there was only one. ---

Haven’t really played GOTY edition that much online. However, I just beat Xan Griegor in the single-player mode not too long ago. That guy makes Xaero from Q3A look like candy. ---

Hey, guys! I can join in for some UT:GOTY. I’d also like to push Red Orchestra for UT2004, a free download. It’s an Eastern Front WWII version, with much more realistic effects like iron sights, exhaustion, no health packs or medics and quite a few other pieces of realism. It’s an immersive game, and makes it worth buying UT2004 all over again. I’d like to put together a SDMB squad in Red Orchestra, so download it and contact me. We can play either Axis or Allies; as long as we keep together as a team. **Lobsang,** have you tried any of the other mods from the Make Something Unreal contest? There’s enough there to keep you busy for years. I’ll set up a UT server anytime. I’ll put SDMB in the name, I play as p$ycho\_daD. It’s a little late on Wed. for the Eastern US; when is a good time for me to run the server? ---

Look! So far willing to play is me, Mad Hermit and ummmm well some other people _know_ the game so it’s only a matter of time before the players come flooding in right? Right? ---
