i think that by the time q3a came id had been making fps titles most of the decade, and it to me looked like they were having fps fatigue. Unreal Tournament 99 otoh was Epic's first online fps, it was fresh, it added lots of inventive weapons to the genre.I like both, they both have their strengths.

They are both great games and both have good and bad sides.i would go for both

For me it's UT99, for the simple reason that it was available in Germany when I grew up. Quake not so much. Unreal and later Unreal Tournament were the first shooters I could really play with my first PC, together with Half Life. And I loved UT especially for its bots that weren't too shabby. I didn't have a steady internet connection back then so it was always a pain to find working bots for Half Life and the Counterstrike mod that needed custom made waypoints etc. so my only real chance at playing those multiplayer modes was on scarce LANs.

Preferred UT99. Quake 3 was too fast for me, i always got annoyed after half an hour. Might be because my computer back then wasnt the fastest and i was playing with maybe 25-30 fps, dunno how it would compare nowadays, id guess Q3 holds up a bit better, the gameplay mechanics at least.

Q3 has better graphics from a technical point of view but i think that the level design and art style in unreal was a lot more interesting. Q3 is basically... brown. When i think about it i cant even remember many of its maps, well the one with the jumppads... but Unreal had quite a variety of good and unique maps.

Most importantly: Unreal required at least some tactic, depending on the playmode, nothing compared to the Capture the flag and assault levels back then in my opinion. The classic unreal weapons also are a lot more fun i think, just compare the rocket launchers. Or the flak cannon. Or the redeemer..

I like both but I played much more with Quake III because of my friends.

Q3 forever

Well, I liked UT more than Q3 at the time, but UT 2003 was my favourite (2004 was 2003++, but I played mostly in the 2003 era).

Hard to pick. Those are probably my favorite FPS multiplayer games, but i'll go with Quake 3. It's a little more dynamic, especially with those crazy maps a lot of jump pads. It was an stupid mechanic at first glance, but it was well implemented and fun to play. Also, the color palettes are better in my opinion, it's easier to see what's going on. Anyway, both are awesome.

UT for sure. I find myself reinstalling UT99 quite often, while I go back to Q3...well, when I replayed the whole UT again and I still need some old mayhem.
I think it's a bit slower, and much more solid, with more effective atmosphere and way better weapons.
And the Flak Cannon is *so* satisfying..

I never played multi, so I can't say anything about it.

yes unreal required tactics, but quake3 required them too. a lot of tactics in fact.

of course both, and I'd add quake II for sure : )

For me, it depends on what kind of gamemodes I want to play.

Free for all : Quake 3
Teamwork : Unreal Tournament

Now of course, since Ut99 has the best announcer, it's a clear win >:D

Hmm... a tough one - from one angle Quake III is pretty much like Quake Live which is the current flagman of the series and which is quite good, but from the other back in the days when I first played quake 3 I didn't like it much, thought it was too repetitive and boring I liked only the level with lots of elevators (Vertical heights?), but Unreal Tournament 99 I liked right from the start, mainly because of it's unique weapons and CTF-Face :) So for now I'll go with UT99, but if it was Quake Live vs. UT99, QL would got my vote (UT3<Q3<UT99<QL<UT2004)!
