I spent so much of the early year 2000 playing Unreal Tournament instagib mode on Facing Worlds: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facing_Worlds
Earlier quoted context omitted.
My first introduction to Unreal was via the "Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition" right around the year 2000. I fondly remember some of those maps (Facing Worlds for one) but to think that lineage ends up at Fornite is crazy to me.
Oh man, I loved that game as a kid. I did not have internet back then, but I didn’t care - I spent hours playing against bots. I still remember the voice taunts and callouts (“I slaughtered that guy!”) and creative maps like ctf_face. Then there were the built in gameplay mods like insta-gib and low gravity, fun guns like Redeemer - kept me glued to the screen for hours. I did not understand why people are playing CS…
My introduction to programming was thru a different game (Subspace VIE, a MMO on dialup back in the 90s later community-remade as Continuum) when squad had a login page at a domain. I really wondered how example.com/?login worked and that led me to where I am today.

> It's a shame later multiplayer games didn't pick up on the mutator concept. The terminology didn't catch on, but the idea is out there. Compare "game modes" in Overwatch, for example: https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/22938941/introduci...
overwatch is essentially the anti-UT. there’s no simplicity, just complexity and toxicity.

Im willing to bet the code for UT is being used for Fortnite.
It's a 25 year old game engine. There is not going to be anything in it which they consider a trade secret today.
Or, "How To Get Some Public Appreciation With Minimal Effort: An Attempt". If they actually cared they'd host (and more importantly, supported since they probably don't run on modern systems without some fiddling) those games themselves. Not like they don't have a store with games or anything.
? Internet Archive is sure to outlast Epic. Putting all your eggs in the same basket is worse than allowing the archive to do what they were created for
I can kind of understand the behavior in the case of non-game software, e.g if a company makes a tool to do X, and someone wants to do X, you want them to buy the new profitable version not the old one for cheap/free. But I just don't think that applies to games - even a "remake" that is literally just a graphics update (no gameplay, UI, or anything changes, just increased asset resolution) people prefer the updated graphics so will generally buy that when it becomes available, but in the absence of such an update the old game is not competing for new ones.

I spent probably thousands of hours playing Infiltration back in the day. I can't imagine how much time and energy must have been poured into completely re-doing a game like that.
Does it work on MacOS? Or do we still need to do some Wine thing?
