Fond memories of playing CTF mode in a demo cd which came with digit magazine. I bought UT 2004 a while ago from Steam before they removed it. And I play it from time to time. Still fun!

Watching that trailer and bringing back memories of how this was basically the demo title to showcase Unreal Engine 3 (or the foundations of what would become that), it’s fun to see how much it was clearly inspired by Halo coming on the scene, and how much of Mass Effect 1 is there as far as engine coding.

I was so addicted to this back in the day, I dare not download this.
