- amazing game
I bought this hoping to find a multilayer game with an active community. It does not disappoint. I was a little worried about performance on my now aging g5 (1.8, 2003 model, radeon 9800 se), but it runs like a dream with all graphics maxed. Best of all, there are MANY free mods (red orchestra, frag ops, etc.) that use the ut2k4 engine in entirely new ways. Thus this game doubles, triples, quadruples...
If your searching for a still playable online game for your older computer (as i was), this is perfect. The newer generation of games such as quake 4 and call of duty 2 run... decent on my machine, but are far too slow to enjoy online with my hardware. I would have to drop another $300-400 on a new video card for a computer that is going to be left in the dark with future games thanks to the Intel switch. Hopefully this and the desert combat mod for battlefield 1942 will hold me over until my next comp-- whenever that is.
--A little update
Most of the mods i've tried have little to no players supporting them, but ut2k4 seems to have a consistent community. Single player offers a lot of variety that you do not see in multiplayer because people tend to like the same maps and game modes. However i guess it is hard to tire of dm-rankin...
My opinion is there are a lot of really nice, creative levels included in the game that see no play on the servers. Alas, the game is still freakin awesome and worthy of 5 stars.
- An excellent purchase
