I'm mostly comparing UT with UT3 as for me the original one is the one I 
played like 99% of my total UT game time.

I played a little DM and TDM both off- and online last night and did 
okay I think but it did feel pretty frantic. Is it just me that is 
getting old or is the default gamespeed pretty high compared to UT?

As for graphics I found them pretty good but with the pace of the game 
it is pretty much a waste since it's not like there is time to take in 
the view:-)

My machine struggles in the first couple of seconds after loading a new 
map and I'm guessing it's some sort of memorycache that needs to be 
filled or something and that is whit the default level of detail but 
with the resolution raised to 1920x1200. (P4HT 3Ghz, 2 GB ram, Radeon 
1900XTX). Is there a way to do a timedemo so we could compare 
performance and find out how important CPU, memory and so on is?

The GUI I don't like. It may be more user friendly with it's limited 
amount of options but I much prefer the drop down menues of old. It was 
faster and gave a better overview of all things. Also while gaming it 
seems there are some problems where the scoreboard is not displayed when 
you're fragged and at end game it's does not always show and if it does 
  one can't see the typed messages from players.

I will most likely buy the game for my PC when released but I'm still 
thinking the odds is really that it will just rekindle my UT appetite so 
in effect it will just make me play UT againg :-)

Kind regards
