When Halo PC came out, it redefined multi player FPS. When UT 2004 came out, it was brought to a whole new level. The background story is secondary to the awesome graphics, engaging game types, and overall playability and fun running and blowing your opponents into flaming giblets. For FPS fans, this is definitely a must have in your collection. Along with the above benefits, you also have the incredible user created content that is available. From mods to maps, skins, and weapons, there is a little something for everyone. There is the ever present Death match, team death match, and capture the flag gametypes, but what comes in this game that revolutionizes the genre is the Onslaught gametype. The back and forth see saw battles that can be frustratingly difficult even on easier ai modes. The teams battle for nodes, and the team that collects nodes that allow a direct connection to the enemies base get the chance to destroy their shield generator. Once destroyed, the match is over, but the opposing team can recapture nodes that can put a stop very quickly to the would be winner.
