Well, a bunch of not-all-bad reasons originally. Why have dedicated servers almost disappeared, and got traded for online-only functionality and developers/publishers hosting them? That is one way to ensure the game dies for good if its developers disappear, and that it will inevitably be shut down at one point, because no-one keeps them running forever, especially once interest eventually vanishes.

It was okay, but I felt the UT99 TallyHo! mod was better. could go on and on, really.Ģk4 was at least a refined 2k3, and while it still had a lot of that stuff, I could at least go and have some fun in VCTF or Onslaught servers, and I literally played Assault on a weekly basis with basically the best Assault clan on Clanbase at the time (EiF/Existence is Futile). Personally, I hated the entirely different music style (give me Michiel van den Bos and Alexander Brandon anyday, thank you), I hated the whole eSports vibe of it, the Adrenaline system basically punished the crappier players, it ditched the game modes I liked (Assault, Double Domination was a pale imitation of UT99 Domination), replaced the armor system with a dumbed-down universal shield, I hated the Egyptian map theme. Let's be honest here: The only thing anyone really remembers about UT2k3 are:Ģ) Lightning Gun sucked as a sniper rifle compared to the UT99 Sniper Rifle, because you couldn't be invisible while you sniped anymore. I did like 20's (too bad 2003 was not featured on the anthology) though, even if they were not as good as UT99, they're both a lot of fun-I really loved 2003's introduction of Bombing Run, and 2004's Invasion where you fight waves of Unreal monsters. Level design, sound design, voice acting for the taunts, music, the way the weapons looked and handled.

I recall outlets only talked about it when it received a major update or a new map, otherwise, radio silence. Its publicity and attention was on a whole different level. It barely received any attention from the media and outlets as well, it cannot even compare to Fortnite where every other person talks (or talked) about it, it's insulting. They could have simply made both if they really wanted to, but instead chose the easy route once things got rough for UT, and considering who we're talking about here, I very much doubt it was 'just' because these games hardly have a place for the market anymore, at worst it would've been played largely by Unreal/UT fans, and that was still miles better than absolute zero.īetter have a dedicated cult playing your games than no-one at all. The fact that they dropped the project tells me that their opposition to the project had nothing to do with the dollars and cents of it, and more to do that they thought making another arena shooter wasn't a productive use of their time.ĮDIT: Oh, I almost forgot about Splitgate, add that to the pile. If they wanted to make Unreal Tournament as a side thing, they easily could. It was a 3rd person shooter AFAIK.Įpic has more money than they know what to do with at this point, not only because of Fortnite but because of Unreal engine. Hell, the 1999 version wasn't even an FPS. Between 1999 (when Steve Jobs announced Halo for Mac) and 2001 (when the game was released on XBox), a lot changed.

Halo's template was followed by most console FPS games for years after it's release.Īnd as for Halo being a Mac game at first, you have to realise that was long before it's eventual release.

UT3 pretty much flopped on consoles, despite being more console-ish that UT99 and UT2004. Quake 3 and Timesplitters worked because they were released before Halo. Yeah sure arena shooters existed on consoles, but none could compare to Halo's accessibility and thus Halo's popularity.

Halo was a PC game at first, so the whole mentality of it being slower because of the controller is stupid.

Having multiple weapons is better than 2. For god's sake, arena shooters already worked on consoles! Unreal Tournament 3 is an example. I play Quake 3 on console, and arena shooters work well on console.
