I've got that one as well - as a ScriptedPawn armed with the Marathon Zeus-Class Fusion Pistol and with a Klignon voice from Star Trek Armada - I was looking for 'authentic' Klignon but couldn't find enough suitable sounds.

Probably a lot of work to bring them to UT - at least one can play some Klignon gametypes in Unreal and use all the pawns, including the creatures, in MonsterSpawn in Unreal - perhaps another good reason to give Unreal a go once in a while?

I completed U1 game at '99 on a Pentium 300 and Riva TNT. I was already a very experienced gamer. It was incredibly cool in those days. Awesome SP. But then I saw UT99. It became love for a live. I had my own gaming club. I played every single game and every kind of all the whole games for a long time. Thousands ones for almost three tens years. One MMORPG nearly robbed me of my family. But now I only play UT99. Nothing beats the UT99. :mrgreen:

Just a bump to point out that Unreal Gold does have the same game speed settings as UT99 - in Botmatch you can set the game speed up to 200% and it has Classic, Hardcore and Turbo settings as well. For me, Bothmatch brings up a large number of gametypes, so I think it would be possible to play Unrealshare.singleplayer from there using these settings (plus mutators) but obviously not having bots and setting the frag limit and time limit to 0 or 999.

Because Unreal isn't the most primitive any more. Unreal 227 is much more advance than UT for many years now.
You can say porting stuff from 2k4 to Unreal is much more doable because they became similarer.

UT is now the illiterate drunkard at the tavern and Unreal climbed up the career ladder and is the new mayor of the town.
