UT99 is fine. I played it so much in the early 2000s, would put on Offspring albums while playing with bots; we had dialup and I couldn’t play with EU, let alone US. But UT2004 is IMO much better and allows for different styles of play.
I just hope the community will be big enough. A lot of the retro FPS games servers are dominated by people who have been playing for 20+ years and its difficult to get into them (even if you played the games a lot back in the day).
I’m with you, I like UT 2004 fine, but OG UT was near peak FPS game for me. The only FPS I liked as much was Quake3:Arena, which was out at the same time. It was a golden age for competitive FPS games.

Ut99 is still the one for me. But I got to play online, and at LAN parties.
They lost me after that it never felt as responsive.
There also weren’t as many crazy mods as 99 had either.
