bah, who needs Unreal. I'm still waiting for Halo 2
 
Great, I might get it for my Mac. Halo just came out for OS X too.
 
Both games, halo and UT are great games, i personally like ut 2004 over 2003, and i think the additional items in UT really make UT once again a great game. Features needed to be added because of the additional items and features of that of like BF1942 and Halo and of course HL.
 
Halo is still the best

I didn't play all the levels, but I didn't see a whole lot of difference. They did add (resurrect) more game types and took a few things form Quake3 ("Space CTF" took several years off my life).

Downloading it was fun though: I'd heard rumors that Comcast upgraded their connections but hadn't seen it before. I downloaded the demo in about 8 min, roughly 3mb. Yeeeeeehaaaa.
