Unreal Tournament offers a lot of multiplayer options, and has a fairly fast
pace. It is no Quake 3, but it shines in it's own way. The sniper rifle is just awesome. Each weapon in the game offers its own strategy. Although the LANage crew tends to focus more on Q3 at the
bunker they can still rock the socks off of opponents in UT. The alternate fire option
adds somewhat to the gameplay, and the again, the sniper rifle is to be feared. Overall,
UT has been a mainstay at our early lans
Multiplayer (the stuff that matters):
UT is a multiplayer game, pure and simple. It's multiplayer support is good, there can be a few issues on the network, but mostly it is solid. The game is fast paced some of the maps are so small that it is a total frag fest. One of the things that UT offers over the competion is in map size. Some of the maps (Last Outpost, Lava Giant) are huge, which enables those more strategy minded a little edge over the death match fanatics.
We mostly played CTF maps at the Bunker as these gave enough balanced game play to make everyone happy.
