UT99 (Unreal Tournament)

Author Topic: UT99 (Unreal Tournament)  (Read 1494 times)

The first Unreal Tournament in the series. I play it, as I got it off of Steam, because I randomly got 50 dollars for games and decided to get a couple low-end games as well as higher-end games (like Far Cry). This game runs at about 60-90 fps, on a "average" computer, which can handle HL2 at medium-high settings. Hell, I even get a good 40-60 fps on my worst computer, which is the basic Dell laptop that isn't really specifically made for one purpose. I get sound issues on the "average" computer (really distort sounds, like if a corrupt sound file were allowed to play), but I was able to fix it by turning off some sound enhancer thing that reduced the quality of sounds for all games but that. It stopped working, so I just turned the sound enhancer thing back on.

The sounds and the game feels a hell of a lot more stable on my new (stuff) Vista computer. The only thing bad about it is that (no, not the Vista part) it runs on an 8mb video card, so even UT99 stutters on maps other than the most basic ones.


Great older game to buy, its 10 bucks off of Steam, and I recommend it if you have Audiosurf and DOD:S already.


Anyone else who plays this?

I used to play this all the time back in the day. I dominated. I think I still own the CD. This was a LAN party king.
Maybe I will reinstall.

Favorite map: Facing Worlds

How can you NOT like ctf_face. :3

The first one was just called UT.  What are you talking about.


We played it on the school LAN in programming.  Fun times.

It's most commonly referred to UT99 nowadays, to avoid confusion with the little kids who grew up with UT3.

It's on steam for 10 bucks, and its pretty stable. However, you need to download the unofficial patch for it that a lot of good servers run on, but I figured it out and if you need help with it I'd be glad to.

If you still have it, install the damn game and add it as a steam shortcut or something. :D

I still have the GOTY edition. :D

I loved this back when I was about 5/6. Weird that I was playing such a gory game at a young age, but what are you going to do about it?

Anyway, I recently bought it from Steam because I missed it.

Favourite map: That train one.

If you want, I could tell you how to patch it and etc so you can play in more servers if you don't already know where to get the patch or how to install it.

YES, I LOVE AS_HISPEED! It was my favourite assault map. <3

Someone sorta did a homage to it for Half-Life DM. It's pretty cool actually.

I'll have to check that out.
