I am not a great fan of multiplayer shooters, one because I generally cant dedicate full bandwidth to play an online game and secondly I feel sufficiently handicapped against some of the seasoned players. When UT2004 came out, I had decided it was not worth my time but the handsome reviews that it got made me take a look, and boy am I glad I did it. The game can be described in one sentence "totally fun". The first few sessions I tried it out was a whitewash, I was the weak link in the team, I just used to rush out and get mowed down, but then I learned to use the terrain and the keys more judiciously to do better, when I got my first kill I was like "Oh Yeah". Now when a game can do that to you, its a keeper. Graphicswise the unreal engine doesnt show much aging but certainly stands below farcry. The gameplay is fast and the netcode is super-optimized to give a great experience. Best part is if you just have 20 mins to play you can join a game and fight it out, no savepoints to bother, no need to pick up where you left off, etc.
