It feels like every fucking month this exact same fucking post is made.

[–]_Particle_Man_ 71 points72 points ago

Thats why you'll never forget that map. reddit wont let you.

[–]AlphaHotel_94 12 points13 points ago

It's more frequent then that. It's at least twice a week. I don't know who keeps upvoting it.

[–]FlatlanderMachine 2 points3 points ago

I don't think people realize the game is still alive and people play the fuck out of this map to this day.

[–]Megaluis15 1 point2 points ago

new to reddit...going on two months... if_i_havent_seen_it_its_news_to_me.jpg

[–]jawston 2 points3 points ago

Redditor Since: 2012-01-08 (4 months and 15 days) ಠ_ಠ I'm 100% this has been posted possibly multiple times in the past four months.

[–]6Jonnie6 135 points136 points ago

I never even played UT and I'll never forget it, because it's always on r/gaming.

[–]WithJuiceYouLose[S] 4 points5 points ago

never even played UT

Get on that shit, son.

[–]Look_At_That_OMGWTF 5 points6 points ago

Can you tell me what UT is please? I missed out on something great I suppose.

[–]AlsatianDarn 15 points16 points ago

Unreal Tournament

[–]nikolaristo 1 point2 points ago

Urethra Testicle...(don't listen to the others; they're just trying to trick you)

[–]FuriousJ 1 point2 points ago

University of Tennessee...I don't understand how you play it. Does he mean play as UT in NCAA?

[–]heymrk 0 points1 point ago

Nothing sucks like a big orange.

[–]werebeaver -1 points0 points ago

Southern gals know what they are doing.

[–]Halofit 0 points1 point ago

I never played the original UT, but I played some of the UT2004. It's a multiplayer arena shooter in the style of Quake. Personaly I never liked it (but I didn't like Quake's multiplayer either, so yeah) but people seem to go nuts over this kind of MultiPlayer games.

[–]insanekoz 11 points12 points ago

UT1 and UT2004 play totally differently. I hate 2004 and love UT1.

[–]pgrily 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, that's the general consensus of those of us that grew up on UT

[–]Levait 11 points12 points ago

I played both very much and love them both.

[–]garotte80 2 points3 points ago

Seconded, doesn't look like a general consensus to me!

[–]Levait 0 points1 point ago

I thought the new map was a little more tactical but remained cool.

[–]Narwhalrus 3 points4 points ago

The reason people like arena shooters is because they aren't brown and grey modern warfare clones. The adrenaline rush you get from a nice fast game like UT or Quake is awesome and, due to the speed of the game, the skill ceiling is extremely high.

[–]Systemcode 2 points3 points ago

Well Quake and Quake style games have been around much longer than COD games and COD styled games. Also, to be more accurate, COD (speaking for the most part about the MW franchise here) borrowed most their entire style from CS. Just for console gamers, ADS, and different class mechanics. Every thing else (style, lots of the mechanics, and overall gameplay feel) were heavily based on CS. COD was just a console game, causing it to spread a lot quicker to the newest gamer generation. This probably being due to often problems with getting to just play the damn game for those who aren't computer savvy, the complication of a PC (which is better in most cases, but only if you know what you're doing) is less appealing than a console's simplicity, and the plain fact of that the skill range of good and bad players is much less rage inducing to play with compared to how impossibly good many PC master races are (all of this is just coming from my personal opinion, though, as some one who has played both a lot of console FPS and PC FPS since they started gaming seriously).

[–]garotte80 0 points1 point ago

That and the fact that you can train with bots/play when the servers are down/test equipment and vehicles/easily make your own arenas...

[–]Look_At_That_OMGWTF 0 points1 point ago

Is it available online? Sorta like Quake Online?

[–]iSmackiNQ 25 points26 points ago

And everytime you see it, you hear this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNrI6N2jQCk

[–]funkme1ster 12 points13 points ago

Select tracks from the UT soundtrack (but that specifically) are on my workout playlist. Hot damn does that ever get me pumped up. It also gets me sort of panicky, too. You never know when someone at my gym has found the redeemer.

[–]Estydeez 1 point2 points ago

amazing idea, maybe this will be the push i need to get back into the gym..... after the next 3 months of d3

[–]garotte80 1 point2 points ago

That soundtrack was amazing. In fact all of UT soundtracks are:

Personal fave: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oE8heI-Ozc&feature=related

I love how the bass beat immediately makes me think of a flak cannon bobbing up and down in my field of view.

EDIT: must also add: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NntxcHWyFE

[–]Penguinrob 0 points1 point ago

I preferred InstaGib, never really played regular online!

[–]robutts 5 points6 points ago

man, been so long since i've heard this song. thank you, iSmackiNQ, and uploader WithJuiceYouLose. Nostalgiafive! kersnap

[–]iSmackiNQ 1 point2 points ago

/brofist.

[–]robutts 1 point2 points ago

[–]aaegler 2 points3 points ago

[–]WhosGotTheBugle 1 point2 points ago

That song!

[–]SuperXpio 1 point2 points ago

can't upvote enough..

[–]WithJuiceYouLose[S] 3 points4 points ago

I totally do, too. Every fraction of that song has been burned into my brain for all eternity.

[–]iSmackiNQ 1 point2 points ago

Likewise. It's one of those songs that have traveled with me from CD players to MP3 players to iPod to Android phone.

[–]ExcellentGary 26 points27 points ago

This with Instagib was gaming perfection. No level unlocks, no new weapons when you hit a certain grade. Just you and a fucking awesome gun.

[–]CambodianBreastMilk 18 points19 points ago

Nothing but raw skill, baby.

[–]karlthelama 1 point2 points ago

And jumping! Don't forget jumping.

[–]nikomo 5 points6 points ago

Instagib with teleporters.

A fine balance of movement and trying to kill the fucker who refuses to stay still.

[–]Zabii 1 point2 points ago

Matrix Moves.

[–]CreamPoet 1 point2 points ago

Instagib on this map, yeah too awesome!

[–]egotist 10 points11 points ago

More than any other map, I played Morpheus, with low gravity and instagib.

[–]stray1ight 1 point2 points ago

Sniper Rifle @ 1.0x zoom.

M-M-M-M-Monster kill!

[–]Nerbyl 0 points1 point ago

If I ever challenged my opponents on tournament mode in UT2K4, I made sure it was this map with instagib enabled!

[–]ziggerknot 0 points1 point ago

that map, god i love that map

[–]MeepZero 9 points10 points ago

From UT99, this map and Deck 16, So many hours burned on those two alone.

[–]Kahnza 1 point2 points ago

Loved Deck 16

[–]mcscissorhands 15 points16 points ago

M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-MONSTER KILLkillkillkill

[–]Witdarkstar 4 points5 points ago

I can't ever look at this map the same because my boss designed it. It's pretty... unreal to say the least.

[–]MurfDog07 2 points3 points ago

YYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

[–]ConnorLovesCookies 9 points10 points ago

... Or shut up about.

[–]northerncraters 3 points4 points ago

Did anyone else used to get unlimited Redeemer ammo, pause time, fire millions of rockets, start time again and sit back and watch the destruction?

That scene in X-Men: First Class where Magneto stops all the missiles and rockets from hitting them definitely reminded me of doing this in my childhood.

[–]Hayyden 7 points8 points ago

[–]True_or_Folts 2 points3 points ago

There were so many good maps for UT 99. But this... this was a masterpiece.

[–]darkmooninc 2 points3 points ago

I love porting this map to every other game possible.

[–]Sphism 2 points3 points ago

I spent waaay too long playing sniper up in those towers and shooting the redeemer into the base of the opposite tower then snipe everyone as they spawn round the sides. Brings back memories :)

[–]GitEmSteveDave 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, jumping down the sides, hiding in the shadows, and listening to the announcer announce your kills.

[–]airbusterv2 1 point2 points ago

I also enjoy the newer version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmHIZ4pF48w but both are awesome.

[–]Azr79 1 point2 points ago

Oh my god, I remember fucking campers on these towers killing me every fucking time.

[–]Cenelind 0 points1 point ago

You are welcome. There was one spot in the tower where you could camp next to the wall and have control control of the field. But from the ground one only had about an inch wide slot 2 meters tall in which to strike the camper.

[–]Ceelions 1 point2 points ago

Instagib.

[–]superyay 1 point2 points ago

The amount of headshots and monster kills I got from that place....

[–]HoleOfMystery 1 point2 points ago

I liked to leave my teleporter pod out front, grab the flag, run to the top then jump off and teleport. The flag would come falling to the ground and I could pick it up and make a run for it while the enemy was confused.

[–]jhock2012 1 point2 points ago

I admit it does show up alot on here... But it still brings back tons of nostalgia.

[–]oRyan_the_Hunter 1 point2 points ago

I never played this as a child, my childhood must have sucked :|

[–]morgartjr 2 points3 points ago

Low grav and a grapple gun mod, along with speed boost = frantic fun game play. One rocket at your feet and you go sailing, but of you're quick, you can grapple on to save yourself.

[–]blahism 3 points4 points ago

facing worlds?

[–]MeepZero 0 points1 point ago

Yup

[–]Elektr0ns 2 points3 points ago

SPAAAAAACE!!

[–]vexxishidi 3 points4 points ago

am i the only one that knows this map from not playing UT, but rather sauerbraten?

[–]Raxony 1 point2 points ago

I remember it from sauerbraten :D

[–]vexxishidi 0 points1 point ago

YAY! another Cube bro!

i still play it occasionally, for old times sake.

[–]thatfloatingguy 1 point2 points ago

Sauerbraten was one of the first shooters I played. I was like "Wow, these maps are so cool! I wonder how people thought of them" Then I realized half the maps I loved were from other games. Great game tho

[–]Raxony 0 points1 point ago

I play it when im bored, and it's so much fun.

[–]Gambit89 0 points1 point ago

It's 2012 and eihrul still hasn't released an update to Justice edition ... ah, it's still a great game in any case.

[–]cbuosi 0 points1 point ago

Every FPS has this map remake.

[–]CJ_Guns 1 point2 points ago

I don't always complain about reposts, but when I do, it's fucking Facing Worlds.

[–]Nathonamore 0 points1 point ago

This and Lava Giant were my favorite fucking maps.

I miss this game.

[–]Bishopkilljoy 0 points1 point ago

I never really understood the engineering concept behind that "Ya know what we need guys? 2 towers connected by 2 walkways....IN SPACE!"

[–]UDNTNOME 1 point2 points ago

WITHOUT AIRTUNNELS!

[–]pgrily 0 points1 point ago

I was never a big fan of Facing Worlds, way to wide open and not interesting for flag runners. I'd take Niven or Eternal Caves any day over it.

[–]EmitSorrels 0 points1 point ago

niven: popping out of the water and hearing the sliding doors shut behind you while running into your base with the enemy's flag is the greatest feeling ever.

afaik eternal caves was banned in every clan match cuz it's asymmetric and i remember one of the teams you had to walk a tight rope to reach the flag, while the other one you can double tap strafe to easily access the flag platform.

over ten years ago so my memories fail me :p

[–]ragingkorean 0 points1 point ago

Oh man I used to love this map! head shot, head shot, head shot lol...

[–]preacherk 0 points1 point ago

Damn.. 13 years?

[–]iamnos 0 points1 point ago

Instagib + hiding beside the frame of enemy base = massive number of kills

[–]zombdrew 0 points1 point ago

UNREAL TOURNAMENT FTW!!!!

[–]Face-Plant 0 points1 point ago

Onslaught was possibly the best game mode any game had to offer.

[–]EmitSorrels 0 points1 point ago

god at least change the angle or something. take a new screenshot...

same repost over and over with the same exact pic

[–]Glitchdx 0 points1 point ago

It's the thumbnail preview from the in-game menu. That's why it's always the same image.

[–]Patches111 0 points1 point ago

Ive never played UT...however someone re-made this map for tf2...i was amazed, until i learned you could use the sticky jumper to go from one side of the map to the other. Then we won lots as my other teammates changed to the sticky jumper as well.

[–]amnith 0 points1 point ago

And instantly the map's spacy music starts looping in my mind.

[–]Infectionstudios 0 points1 point ago

More like the map that no one on r/gaming will forget.

[–]ChewyDinosaur 0 points1 point ago

Definitely my most played map on UT

[–]jt0sizzler 0 points1 point ago

By UT I thought you meant Utah. Disappoint.

[–]MakeNShakeNBake 0 points1 point ago

So... Many... Headshots

[–]Teslanaut 0 points1 point ago

It woulda been cool if each side takes turns going up & down like some kind of see-saw so the middle would often switch from being the high round to low ground and vice versa. I'm not sure if I'm making sense.

[–]hobo_shinobi 0 points1 point ago

Ah...the good ole days when the moon wasn't spherical.

[–]SMAAASHING 0 points1 point ago

deck16][ imho. :)

[–]boyubout2pissmeoff 0 points1 point ago

This map, plus god mode and the sniper rifle. MANY hours of stress relief were provided to me by these items.

I used to call this the "Texas University Clock Tower Map".

Head shot, motherfucker.

[–]ivzie 0 points1 point ago

Cheat codes enabled. Max bot count. Infinite ammo for redeemer. Stop time. Launch 10 missiles at each bot. Fly far away. Start time.

[–]merican_atheist 0 points1 point ago

FACINGWORLDS FUCK YEAH!

[–]Tiop 0 points1 point ago

Sauerbraten was my first fps i got into loved insta-CTF on this map.

[–]workieworkworkwork 0 points1 point ago

Um.... you posted the wrong picture. Where is the Coret Facility?

[–]MudaMudaMuda 0 points1 point ago

I play a very good remake of this map once a week in tf2. It's awesome (with snipers limited).

[–]Reddit_Noobie 0 points1 point ago

Mother fucking snipers.

[–]TbanksIV 0 points1 point ago

Is it Tuesday again?

[–]TorepedoTuxedo 0 points1 point ago

Nexuiz made that map SOOOOOOOOOO. For those who know..

[–]rudymcghee 0 points1 point ago

I loved this map. I played capture the flag and just sat at the top of one of the towers and sniped the other team. I ended up with around 200 kills before I went and finished the mission. It was great!

[–]Twiddlez 0 points1 point ago

Faces!! I miss that game!

[–]Jmdman11 0 points1 point ago

Best map ever

[–]sirus20x6 0 points1 point ago

That is all

[–]FreshFruitCup 0 points1 point ago

I hate you... Camper.

[–]Sandbox47 0 points1 point ago

Grab the 100 HP pack. Run to get the nuclear weapon of mass destruction. If taken, wait for it in the corner. Grab it. Into your own base because your defenses were too relaxed to stop the enemy team from getting in. =/

[–]CreamPoet 0 points1 point ago

Unreal Tournament was the first ever game I played on PC, online over 56k modem!

[–]bo87 0 points1 point ago

check out the extreme textures pack. It's beautiful...

you can download them here (takes some reading, but worth it): http://www.oldunreal.com/textures.html

[–]epsilonius 0 points1 point ago

I made a C&C Tib Sun map called Facing Worlds that was a similar design, will never forget this map.

[–]bitwize 0 points1 point ago

fuck yeah facing worlds

ever notice how all the ctf_face haters never played UT? being reminded of this never gets old

it was this for ctf and that one with the 3 skyscrapers in space for DM...

i also seem to recall one called Hall of Giants -- truly an epic ctf map, especially on low grav

[–]justincase1021 0 points1 point ago

[–]gho5tm3 0 points1 point ago

No map better. /sob

[–]bintypants -1 points0 points ago

Faggots with aim bots on insta-gib strafing out from the top of a tower behind a pillar just pinging off insta-death, so much rage.

[–]warcin -1 points0 points ago

I never played UT but I will never forget that map since it is posted at least once a week for the last couple of years

[–]lite951 -1 points0 points ago

Somebody needs to remake this map for Tribes: Ascend.

[–]QuinnSee 3 points4 points ago

It's already been made for TF2!

[–]Net_Bastard 0 points1 point ago

Hah, I wish. I played it once on a Reddit server. If I ever find a 24/7 server, I'll let you know!

I still occasionally fire up my old iMac to play this beast of a game...this map especially :D

HEY GUYS, IT'S THE FACING WORLDS TOPIC AGAIN! HOLY SHIT!

LONG TIME NO SEE

[–]ONLYUSEmeFEET -1 points0 points ago

I love this map, why this map doesn't come standard in any FPS with a CTF mode is beyond me. Some epic fights were had here.
