Sigh, I miss the days of simple, appealing gameplay, without worrying if I would be able to play my game after I bought it because it was made by developers who are afraid of their target audience (alright, a little to the right of the target audience, because the people who pirate aren't likely to buy the game anyways) I missed doom and quake, too young, but for me, unreal was one of my first real First Person Shooters and it really dragged me into the genre. Damned nostalgia...

Also, the blade shooter (whatever it was called) was another great weapon that was cut. I've been being a little nostalgic and playing Unreal Championship for the Xbox, which does have a little too much in common with the Quake style play. Also, I miss the 8-ball. Those were the days.
