I'm not sure I understand (Gaming)

Yeah it's dumb. They say there are no microtransactions, but that's exactly what this is. The only difference is you are buying maps and skins or whatever else made by some random person, versus by Epic. I'm betting the marketplace will be the only way to add stuff to the game, killing all the free modding you could do in UT2004.

This is exactly what I thought when I saw this thread. Glad I'm not alone. I don't think I've played any other UT title as much as UT2004. I loved that game a ton. Just thinking about it makes me want to dig it out of a box I have it in and get it installed again. Fun fun.

In agreement here, UT2k4 Imo was the pinnacle for Unreal. Onslaught was an awesome game mode, the vehicles were really superbly integrated and the 3rd party maps and mods scene was the best going. I remember downloading some of the custom maps they had and being blown away by the creativity and graphical prowess some of them had. It was the best gameplay of any of the Unreal games as well. Truly a golden age for the series.
