This thread has been linked to the game 'Unreal Tournament 2004'.
I haven't played the demo yet, but seeing how cheap you can buy it on the internet i can't see it being a let down. It would be nice to see it on release day, but im not going to build my hopes up.

Ive still not got mine, I would have thought ordering a month before release would have guaranteed me a game from their first batch.
Better than ut2003 by far.. but it seems it hates ati in those assault and onslaughts maps....
My copy hasnt been dispatched :( and there out of stock now :( Oh well I have got plenty of uni work to do.

Has anyone got the full, genuine version yet?
Hmmmm pings are weird... gonna try and get a rebate even though the crappy receipt is made a of crap paper and tore in two.
Deck 16 was unbelievable with about 25 people. Reccomended 16 max, 25 on Last Man Standing.....rockets everywhere!
Sorry Adrian, was only messin with ya. I couldn’t give a flying fcuk if your warez every game that is released. I must say my version of Athena Sword is from a somewhat questionable source. But i would also say that people in the games business (PR, mag staff etc) are much worse for pirating games. Strange but totally true.
What a bummer, all those good games to play, and college work getting in the way eh. I know the feeling - didn't get a chance to try Far Cry or BF:V last night as had to work late :-(
Did have a quick blast on UT2004 and was impressed - hasn't played the demo so this was my first experience of this year’s version. The interface is much better than the clunky UT2003 one, and all my fave levels are there - plus a few good new ones. I played a couple of Deathmatch games, and kinda’ liking the new look shock rifle, although on the whole I must say the visuals are pretty much the same as the UT 2003. Although I must say the remake of the Deck 16 level from the original Unreal Tournament, called Deck 17 in UT 2004, if damn fine - one of my fave levels ever and they have even included an updated version of the Sniper Rifle in this level - which is fcuking cool.
Must say that the game also runs very well indeed. 1040 x 768 res, all in-game settings at max, plus I have X4 AA and X16 AS and I am getting a steady 70-80FPS - more on some levels - except that damn Ice Tomb, but that's a known system killer. Even getting a nice 50-60 on the huge Onslaught maps - which is nice :-D
Well, only one more day of work to go, and i have a weekend of PC gaming to look forward to :-)

And my IP is? Depending on the game I might even buy it. I have Raven Shield orginal which I bought due to me wanting to play it online. If Far Cry is good then I will get it.
