Question for those of you who were active FPS players in the late 90's and early 00's.
How was Unreal Tournament looks at compared to,
Tribes
CS 1.6
Quake 3 arena
Was it looked at as casual wank? Did people even care or rank games like that back then? I played them all but was to young to give a shit.
I think UT99 looked better than all of them. Depends what device driver you used, and what your .ini was but yeah, easily best looking game. Still looks decent nowadays.

I dont know how it "looked" back then but I absolutely loved it. The best fps I ever played. Matches were fast-paced, weapons and maps interesting and I loved that you could enable complete control over your character while in air. Spent 80% of the time airborne. Compared to it, the movements in 03 were too sluggish for my taste.
As far as the other games are concerned:
Tribes - never heard of it.
CS 1.6 - not compatible. CS was something you used to play in a gaming cafe, not by yourself. Something more slow and tactical and less rampage-y.
Quake 3 - I liked Quake, but I dont know. Just didnt find it as fun. Hard to tell why, but I think it all boils down to movement. Always felt that quake was more about aiming and less about dodging, if that makes any sense.

Both UT and Q3 were considered highly skilled games, there was a huge rivalry between Q3 and UT claiming their shooter was more superior but the amount of total players paled in comparison to CS 1.6
CS 1,6 was considered the CoD of the early 00's by Q3/UT players and they would set their differences aside to shit on that game instead.
UT was more beloved by the press being awarded numerous Goty awards.
Counter Strike 1.6 was actually considered to be the casual, shit FPS title that only kids in third world countries played back then
Graphics didn't really matter back then, it was all about that gameplay. Sure, good graphics were nice, but they weren't first priority like they are now.

I now realise that he was talking about how they were thought of, not how they actually looked. Yeah, CS was the casual shit back then, not UT.
