jefequeso: I'm a little confused by people who keep saying "Quake's engine was smoother." What exactly does that mean? The engine is just the graphical/presentation portion of the game. Things like movement speed etc don't really relate, as far as I know.

EDIT: or are you talking more about the visuals? 'Cause I admit that Quake III looks a lot "slicker" than UT. Still adore the Unreal engine, but I think it was better utilized in Unreal than in Unreal Tournament.

BTW: Flack cannon in UT99 was awesome, but the Flack Cannon in the original Unreal is WAAAAY cooler looking. Also, I think the Bio-rifle (aka the Guh-lobulator) deserves some love.
Don't know if this is the best way to describe it, but her it goes:

UT is a fast game, but after playing an hour or two of Quake, UT feels like a tank driving sim. An otherwise fast game feels sluggish in comparison.
It's maybe best experienced if you play both games head to head.

That one in particular was UT.

If you prefer UT99 over Q3 you are terrible at FPSes.

I went there.

Considering all the instagib severs I see these days, I'm not sure that's saying much. ;)

jefequeso: I was just wondering which of these fantastic deathmatch classics you guys prefer. I myself never was a big fan of deathmatch, but UT has honestly hooked me. Maybe it's the fact that it uses one of my favorite engines of all time, maybe it's the fact that it's based on one of my favorite GAMES of all time, or maybe it's just the sheer brutal insanity of the gameplay. I dunno. I think Quake III is a really amazing game, but I prefer UT's "feel" overall.

So...share your opinions.
I always gravitated towards UT out of the two. There was something about the gameplay that was more fun. Also, there were better colors. I don't regard either of them as being "better" per se, UT was just my preference.

Well, I do suck at FPSs... and I have a lot more fun with UT than Quake 3.

SlappyBag: I preferred Quake, but both are fantastic.

Quake III was the game that has all those timeless soundbites right?

"DOUBLE KILL"
"PERFECT"
"M-M-MONSTER KILL KILL kill"

classic.
Yeah but Unreal Tournament 2004 had the "Sexy" announcer that gets closer to an orgasm the more people you kill without dying. I wish she was in more games.

I always prefered UT, it had DM_Face and the awesome Assault mode. And it was the first game I ever played Online.

I enjoy both, but my favorite has got to be UT99.
