In true games industry fashion (I love it really :)), a whole bunch of Top notch FPS' titles are coming out all on the same day - 19th March. I don't think DBs has set up voting so this is a quick and dirty questionnaire - which of these floats your boat, and which do you expect to get first (if at all):

UT2004
Battlefield:Vietnam
Breed
Rainbow Six: Athena Sword.

Personally, BF:Vietnam for me, but I'll probably get UT2004 later.

BF Vietnam, as long as I have tried a demo first to see if its THAT much different from 1942. I dont care for any of those other games listed :eek:

im having to go with BF:Vietnam as well, purely because its the most interesting out of the lot of them..

i wont be touching athena's sword unless with a 50ft barge pole, purely for the crap the original went through and still is full of bugs and flaws :(

I'm with jaba here. Unreal 2004 all the way :)

I got UT2003 played for about a week then gave it away. I know the same thing will happen with 2004. :(

I played UT2003 quite a bit, and thought I was good.

That was until I realised the server I went on was full of AI Bots.......set at difficulty level 'Crap'.

BF:V all the way baby!

I'll be buying both BF: Vietnam and UT2004.

Don't forget about Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow and Far Cry in the same month though.

The thing about ut2003 was that all the hardcore ut fans sort of didnt like it, which was perhaps a slight problem. I see a lot of the old clans sort of getting into ut2004 so maybe this could be the start of something?

I played UT heavily both on pubbies and as part of a TDM and CTF clan. Intense fun, really enjoyed it.

I thought UT2003 was bloated fucking pigwank and despite me trying and trying to enjoy it I soon gave up. I'll pass on UT2004.

Farcry for me, but I still highly rate CoD.

Without wishing to dredge up old rows, q3 owned ut AND ut2k3 for me, and as ut2004 is much the same, i imagine q3 will continue to do so ;)

I thought q3 was like playing human pinball online. I am an old QW and Q2 player at heart, something about UT though that was fresh and fun.

I actually never really compared UT v q3...hmm...seems a lifetime ago tbh.

Tribes fucking 0wned the cunting lot btw ;)

I'm going to give it a go when it comes out and if I don't enjoy it i'll just play good old cs again ;)

I was more of a quake2 player than an ut player so i really didn't give it much of a chance back then. When I got around to trying ut I realised how good it was and how shite i was :(

I vote for 26th of March instead, with Farcry and The sequel to Splinter Cell both released.

Had the same experience as Xtro on UT2003, I played the Breed demo ages back and binned it, never played R6, but BF1942 has been my daddy for the last six months, so BF:V it is !
