I still retain 5 copies, not counting my steam copy. And they are open for the use of others. FYI
But Honestly, this game was the pinnacle of the Unreal series. YOU SHOULD OWN A COPY if you were into PC gaming around 2004. If you've joined since, it would not be a wasted purchase. This game was a mainstay of the LAN from its predecessor UT 2003 on till and even partially through BF2's arrival in June 2005. Sadly the game they followed it up with, UT3, was built for consoles, and did not have the refined game play we'd come to expect from the series as a result.
I'm putting together a proper server for UT2K4 for next Month's LAN. We'll be able to, in between rounds, vote to make changes to game mode and such, and I'm hoping to have a redirect DL server setup in place to download any missing content as the maps load. Map selection will literally be HUGE. Available game modes will be the LAN party standards:
1. Vanilla - default weapon selection, no mods
2. lowgrav/quadjump - default weapon selection
3. lowgrav/quadjump/zoom instagib w/ translocators - The OKGG default game mode
4. Lowgrav/quadjump/Matrix moves/Zoom Instagib - My favorite mode
5. Plus anything else anyone suggests can be added to the line up.
Also, if you're wanting something in particular, let me know. I, likely, have it in the 7.7GB of content we'll be floating on the server, but if not, I'll be happy to add it. Just give me a PM or shout letting me know what you're wanting. _________________ Advocating the end of the world since July 1995.

We definitely need a redirect server for the map content. The built in file server sucks ass but pointing it to a local IIS install and it will fly. I think we might even have the share still setup on the server.
If its the one I set up on the server, its got everything, tons (gigs) of maps, and http map redirect all set up already. (Edit: Or that may have been all set up on my local computer at the time and I was the server, cant remember)
And yes, I agree, 2k4 was UT's finest moment. Even more so, its is at the top of my all time favorite games list bar none as far as fun factor and longevity. (IMHO)
I do miss low-grav quad-jump zoom instagib CTF lan parties. That takes extremely good teamwork, and the twitch factor was EXCELLENT! _________________ For with what measure you measure it will be measured to you.
