I've played Unreal, UT and UT2K4. All were fun, but I've had the most fun with 2K4. A couple of local friends and I would hook up online and blast the crap out of each other for a few hours. Nothing fancy, just death match. Alas, it has probably been at least six months since our last fragfest.

Our alltime favourite map in 2K4 is called "Sniperia2". It is the best sniper map we've ever come across. We usually start an evening with several matches on Sniperia and end the evening with a few more. The map has all kinds of cover - trees, bunkers, streams, bridges, dark areas, ledges and other elevated areas - yet the map has a very open feeling to it with plenty of opportunities for some super long shots. There is nothing like nailing a headshot on your buddy from the other side of the map. The weapons are the sniper rifle and the lightning gun. A redeemer and ion painter(?) are available for a little different type of fun. We just can't seem to get enough of it.

My favourite weapon is the flak cannon. I'm simply dreadful up close, so the wide shot area helps my aweful aim - but usually not enough.
