I loved Quake 2 multi-player, but when I couldn't get it to run under XP, I went to Unreal Tournament. When I tried to get back to Quake 3, I couldn't quite get the hang of it. UT is now up to version 3. From the Quake/Doom people, an arena only game hasn't been released since... Quake 3 Arena. I guess Id realized that they did it right the first time, and chose not to try to improve on perfection. On the Unreal side, there are more players on original UT than either of its two (or three) sequels. So, for those who've tired of the Arena, what multiplayer games do you find to be the funnest? (Another plus for Quake3: The background story makes more sense. UT never did explain how the players eternally die and respawn. Q3 is some kind of afterlife.) (One negative (to my knowledge): No vehicles. I don't much care for the vehicles, but Onslaught has the most servers running of all UT2004 game types.)
