Nostalgia is getting the best of me.  I recently upgraded my old computer to 
a gaming rig with 64 bit Vista.  I have procrastinate in installing UT99 (I 
like to refer to it as Classic...like Coke Classic..lol) as I have been 
gaming a lot with CoD4 and Crysis/Crysis Wars.  Even with the new games and 
great looking graphics, there is just something about UT99 that has yet to 
be emulated.  My heart of hearts wanted UT3 to be launch a new and exciting 
era, at least as far as UT goes, but it didn't appeal at all.  I am 
disgusted, quite frankly, with the gothic style architecture as pervasive as 
it is.  I liked how UT99 could have setttings just about everywhere, and 
believable at that (from Phobos Moon to Crane, for instance).  It seemed so 
believable. I can only hope that the developers wake up and take notice at 
what is making CoD and Crysis so popular.  Then UT can take it to the next 
level by allowing the settings to occur about anywhere.  Well, that is 
enough rambling.  I will install UT be the weekend and will be looking for 
populated servers.  Look for TropicalDan.
