Yeah, I felt a little ambiguity about that meself. However if you use this 
NG as something of an informal poll, the average age of UT players is a lot 
older than you would think. (SORRY GUYS!) Maybe this older demographic just 
doesn't have the interest in the online hopfests that the younger crowd 
does. I know I'll play on a particular server just to get the maps to play 
offline. There's still a lot of cheating and some people just can't tolerate 
that. Not to mention too that it takes quite some time to become proficient 
enough to do nothing but respawn. It can be frustrating if you don't 
perservere.
