God I miss Unreal Tournament, why can't we have multiplayer games like this again? Just a silly fun multiplayer shooter with lots of options on how to play and no greedy shit on top.
There's plenty games that're like that, just not as popular as other shooters around right now.
You like to name some?
Edited my comment to make that clear for you.
Because Fortnight. Epic cancelled development on everything else except fortnight.

I played that beta. I played that Early Access. UT4 was fun and I was stoked for it. I was shit at it, but I was having a blast when I played it. Now it's dead. All Hail Fortnight!
Don't even remind me of UT4, I was there day one and was absolutely furious when they cancelled it. Seriously, fuck Epic.
Multiplayer games with some form of progression are much more popular. Games like you describe still exist, they are just less popular relative to others.
well we do it is called xonotic and it has the best rocket launcher in any game hands down, it comes out of the quake lineage tho
