    Why only play listed games?

    What is stopping you from setting up your own server and playing UT2004?

      I mean, the master server that lists everyone else’s games is down. Epic maintained a server that was just a list of other servers. A casual player opening up UT or UT2k4 will see nothing. You can play against bots, at LAN Parties, or direct connect to server you already know about, but you wont find new servers through the game without changing where the game looks for the master server. More technician info on the process is here.

      oh, you mean at the lan party. There were more reasons not to go, but if the game isn’t listed, I doubt I would be able to get anyone else to play it. Even back in the day, I could never get anyone to play Quake 3. The crew I use to game with moved on to RPing in Battlefield and CoD games.
