I played UT2004 from 2005 to 2008, I can say it was the best FPS (First Person Shooter) gaming experience for me personally the andraline kicks what you got the speeds the impossible kills what a game it was and I miss that but it's fine now I in COD be damned . We played with clan CTF ICTF TAM We had our own servers at the time .
This game is better than 90% of modern FPS games with offline bots i go back and spend a couple of hours at in every now and again its so good i picked it up in a charity shop for 50p about 8 years ago and fell in love with it
It's incredible the amount of content it has and the graphics looks beautiful even for today and there's a lot of maps and different types of difficulties and the music is perfect and the gameplay is so smooth
I miss unreal championship. I had 90%+ headshot accuracy with the lightning gun on 110% speed auto-aim off. Crazy times. The console version definitely got less love, but it was extremely unique with the class/weapon system and there were some dedicated hardcore players.
It still hasn't been topped. No other FPS is satisfying to me ever since. It had perfectly refined weapons, great vehicle balance, ton of movement options, so many fun game modes. I could play Torlan all day long.
Damn shame... I blame call of duty, got everyone hooked on its mindless gameplay. Spawn with a load out then sprint to the middle and get lucky to spawn trap fools.
@@wk2259 Yeah but they always load them up with brightskins on the servers, which is extremely off putting. And before you say "Oh you can turn them off', they still give a major advantage to those using them. AND make me look like a bloated blob to them. My choice of my appearance is taken away by brightskin/force default model users. So I can never play this online. I'm also put off by the "DONK" hit sounds shoved into servers as it sounds ridiculous. Its immersion breaking to me. Makes the game not feel like the game anymore.
There are still many active communities in this game. One of the is LDG, which is the last bastion of the racing gamemode. I think it's pretty cool and it has a based playerbase.
Honestly didn't think so at first since I got hooked onto the CoD MW series since all my friends were playing that instead of these arena shooters. Only when I started to realize the complexity of real time 3D rendering and limitations devs were working with at the time, that's when I really started to appreciate these interactive works of art!
It really is one of the best games! 👌🏻 Addictive gameplay, great bots, many game modes, a lot of content and diversity of maps, good music, tons of mods... Edit: Nice aim dude ;)
And none of that nonsense like loot boxes, microtransactions, endless leveling with 58,743 abilities to juggle and combine, overly moderated chats, online-only requirements, subscription-based "game passes," unfinished games slapped with full-price tags, or dumbed-down gameplay designed for people who can’t be bothered to learn. And let’s not forget the nightmare that is matchmaking hell.
Finally someone who know how to do a strafe jump and has proper movement. This game was my childhood and sadly was to young to play in the ESL here in Germany because you had to be 18 (i was 15)
great video! ut2004 is an amazing game, I think it will always be my favorite fps Even without multiplayer it's still great. Tbh the first years I played it I didnt have internet so it was only single player and I still loved it
I fired this game literally week ago after years of not touching it. It aged so well and is still so nice to play. Only problem it had is enemy model visibility. Outside of that still has amazing gameplay.
All I did, and still do, are the trial maps. I love the platforming maps people made for the game. And lets not forget Rocket League started from this game from the mod Car Ball.
The super smash bros trials map is ingrained in my brain haha and I actually didn't know that about RL, and I've spent hundreds of hours air dribbling. Crazy.
My first FPS game I grew up with was UT99. But I recently started playing UT2004 and my current goal is to beat the campaign on godlike difficulty without dying once. Wish me luck. ✌
I always play with the most recent Ballistic Weapons Mod, as our immortal God intended (Vanilla is just as valid, it's always fun! play the way you like : D)
Thank you for the video, it's so good to see that people are still so passionate about this game! General question for everybody and I know that this can be a touchy subject, but how can you say if someone is cheating when playing online? I play deathmatch online from time to time and it feels ridiculous how some people can kill you with just a few minigun bullets or how they can anticipate your location. I mean, I'm no pro and I've seen some pros play and even they can't do that
I want to make a video documentary about this game and it will take a while to write the script, complete the game and edit the video. Your video taught me a lot I didn't know yet, so I will definitely credit you when it is finished. I am super impressed you can fight godlike bots, I already struggle with adept bots 😂
its a great game altho I feel like the classic ut99 and unreal have more atmosphere due to better sound design. but this has good gameplay and innovative maps
How do you make those smooth strafe jumps? I know you can double tap a movement key, but every time I try to use them I need to pause the movement I am currently doing, so I feel slower, not faster. Any tips?
As you're holding "W" key, turn your mouse and double tap "A" or "D" depending on which direction you turned your mouse. Example - (Hold "W") > 'Look left w/ mouse' + (Double Tap "D") = smooth strafe jump right. if you pull it off right, you won't stutter when dodging.
Miss this game so much. Judging by your final kill count, you'd get slaughtered by the oldguard back during the 2004-2007 hayday. I don't remember a linkerdoodle from back then. Just for reference, most of us in the top TDM/TAM/CTF teams could 60-0 these bots pretty easily. I just reinstalled the game and I got slapped by the godlike bot and ended up barely eeking out a win haha. 17 years of not playing really didn't help ^_^
Yeah i totally agree id get destroyed, I'm to egotistical to try against real veterans of the game knowing id get sweeped. I was around 8 years old back then and mainly played the silly race maps or trials. 😅
omg.... i was just talking to my kid about this awesome game.... the Matrix moves mutator....plus the bullet time mutalator....and the akimbo guns mutators were the best..... make a video with those
Thanks for the suggestions! I wish I knew and had knowledge of modding as a kid, cuz I'd work around by toggling slomo in the console using my imagination haha. Your comment also reminded me of kid me trying so hard to try and dual wield guns in the game. I saw a screenshot of akimbo link guns and was naively doing things like beating single player using only one weapon like it was a secret unlockable. Good times.
wish my aim was as good as yours. I like the game but my aim is trash. Really enjoy invasion mode though and the bots are pretty good allies. My favourite user made maps tend to be city based.
Ah, invasion is goated. I have a core memory of playing on a server called "pinkys playhouse" featuring modded monsters, weapons and RPG mutator. Also had a huge variety map pool. Ahhh memories...
I hated the lightning gun in place of the sniper rifle but this was an enjoyable game. I didn't like it as much as I liked UT 99 GOTY or even 2003 but i had plenty of fun playing it. Most modern shooters just aren't appealing to me. Sometimes you just need to come home from a long day and headshot some bots.
Same here, also still one of my favorites. Just like titanfall. Too bad both games were done dirty by the devs. Ps: that Tokara Forrest in the beginning was my favorite of the game. 😍
Still the best multiplayer shooter ever made. Played as a kid and still playing now! The "Masterful" difficulty is a perfect blend of skill and BS in my personal experience. Any bot difficulty above that and they are legit cheating at the game with their skills.
This is nothing like UT99 tho. And the ugly unproffessonal-looking main menu UI always bugged me. Why so huge and so cluttered!? LOL! The fact they did not include the Assault game mode - was a huge downer for my taste. Sniper rifle is replaced by a crappy lightning weapon.... seriously? But UT2004 opened the door to the new level of game modding, which was great!
That's the concensus I observed within the community regarding the UT series, UT99 being the magnum opus. I could never agree since UT2K4 was my first ever FPS that I grew up with. The absence of the 2nd jump after dodging always felt weird in UT99 since I loved UT2K4's trials maps.
Daaaang. Hate to break it to you, but you can change the announcer back to the 2003 guy in the settings. Although it's not updated for the assault and onslaught game modes.
Just want to say I appreciate all of you and I hope y'all have a wonderful 2024! ❤
how can i get the game in 2024?

Right? It was a crazy experience exploring all the different servers, maps, and mods during its peak.
I miss unreal championship. I had 90%+ headshot accuracy with the lightning gun on 110% speed auto-aim off. Crazy times. The console version definitely got less love, but it was extremely unique with the class/weapon system and there were some dedicated hardcore players.
That was the best time!!! Not that TRASH today like Fortnite or COD!!!!!!!!

@@stonetic2515 Torlan was truly a one-of-a-kind map
my dad and i used to play this every day as a kid, i still throw it on every once in a while when im having a bad day
Same here! My dad and I played many other games such as Left 4 Dead and Age of Empires as well. I really cherish those memories. Happy holidays!
This game is classics. It's shame nobody plays arena shooters today...
Damn shame... I blame call of duty, got everyone hooked on its mindless gameplay. Spawn with a load out then sprint to the middle and get lucky to spawn trap fools.
people play UT04 to this day. a competitive scene has survived via IRC and subsequently discord

I will be playing this game as long as I live!
Hell yeah brother! UT 4 Life!
Same here bro
riiiii!!!!!
So do I.. it's so much fun
Is it still possible with Servers availability in 2024?
The fact that you can't buy it anymore hurts so much. I have so many fond memories
Look for the ut anthology dvd iso in the high seas... who would you be harming anyway?...
You can still search for non steam free version online and play the game again, but you will play offline.. But it's better than nothing
There are still many active communities in this game. One of the is LDG, which is the last bastion of the racing gamemode. I think it's pretty cool and it has a based playerbase.
one of IF NOT the best shooter ever made.
This game was my childhood next to ut99.
The graphics in this game still look so fffff goood! Mmmm!!!!
Honestly didn't think so at first since I got hooked onto the CoD MW series since all my friends were playing that instead of these arena shooters.
Only when I started to realize the complexity of real time 3D rendering and limitations devs were working with at the time, that's when I really started to appreciate these interactive works of art!
The game is an absolute Goat, the graphics is a whole different level
Good stuff man! Fun to watch videos like these every once in a while, especially since I never got this good
Nice skills, it's cool to see an UT2004 video again. I like to see more.
Cheers dude! I was planning a series, but I need to stop procrastinating 😅
@@charlieboiE92procrastinating? Isnt this your career?
Probably my favourite online shooter
Definitely ranks top 5. Mostly for nostalgic reasons tho.

Couldn't have said it better myself, and cheers dude!
Still a better game than at least 99% of modern games.

nice movement; the insane mods for this game, my fav all time
Thanks bro! I'm thinking of showcasing Killing Floor, another favorite that was born as a mod for UT. Maybe a solo HOE gameplay commentary? 🤔
This video was awesome. I would watch an entire series of this EASILY. dude props

I like the way you get the shock combo, what a skill, I am replaying UT2k4 and still in love with it, legendary game!

Don't feel bad about dying to bits. UT a.i. was ahead of its time. The boys learn your patterns and anticipate your moves.
great video!
ut2004 is an amazing game, I think it will always be my favorite fps
Even without multiplayer it's still great. Tbh the first years I played it I didnt have internet so it was only single player and I still loved it
Im playing it in 2024 haha
Man, I had a lot of fun with the Ballistic Weapons mod.
This is an amazing video. Well done.
Nice I Love this Game alongside AVP2 and I even do videos on it
Hell yeah! I checked some of em out and you're crackeddd at UT, nice videos too! Best of luck bro.
I fired this game literally week ago after years of not touching it. It aged so well and is still so nice to play. Only problem it had is enemy model visibility. Outside of that still has amazing gameplay.
I loved this game when I was 4 or 5. I wished I can play this again!
Absolutly lovely gameplay - went on your yt only to see this was your only video :(((
We still play this legendary (epic) game to this day with my friends on weekly basis. UT lives on.
Hahaha I see what you did there. 😏
@@charlieboiE92 :)
All I did, and still do, are the trial maps. I love the platforming maps people made for the game.

I still play it when ever i feel like. Got some videos here
Best FPS ever...
I played ut2004 instagib, in 2004 for life time especially low gravity face classic, no translocator oooh godlike bots scaaaaary
played this all the time growing up i miss it
