Unreal Tournament '99 GOTY Soundtrack - Mechanism 8 (Mech8.umx)

[@loveshankme]

The sounds of each gun are forever stuck in my mind. The Flak Cannon and Ripper are two guns that hold a special place in my heart. What a game.

[@Sypaka]

Bonus points for ricochet 4 times with a headshot finish.

[@buckjones4901]

No doubt, the ripper was a fun one to use, strange they removed it in some later versions of UT, nothing was as good as the original UT.

[@Phil_KaneONite_Wood]

Flak Monkey!!!

[@Wonky2]

I remember playing a single CTF map for 2 hours straight, because nobody could get even a single flag. That match was so fucking intense it haunted me in my dreams later. Good times.

[@joostinatortje]

Yes I have this more often, especially when I was a kid. Also because of this CTF. I just wouldn't know when I should take a break of gaming. The result was a full night of repeating the same 10 seconds of gaming over and over in my sleep. No matter what I tried to think of, my mind would go back to the same loop within seconds. Best solution was to just go downstairs and give the dog some attention or something to reset the brain with new thoughts.

[@NimbleBard48]

Today, after just one of these matches, you would have 4 threads just about that on Reddit with tons of people complaining that it's too hard, taking too long, there are noobs in their games etc. Sad how much of the iGen is ruining the shooter genre now.

[@lovecraftcat]

that's scientifically impossible, longest CTF stalemate lasts 5 minutes tops

[@Quadr44t]

As one who dwells in electronic (Hardtrance, Acid (core), psy), I too find this, or actually the whole ost of UT99 (or games around the same time like star craft, perfefct dark, anything from rare really), very interesting. These OSTs are actually a great source of inspiration for me. Maybe it is the nostalgia speaking (from 92 and I used to play these games a lot).

[@gottagofastfaster]

@@Quadr44t to this day I don't get bored of this game online matches are incredible. And playing against bots in hard mode is really fun. I think this game still will hold it's touch after all those years.

When I first played this game on an old XP computer I got, I wasn't expecting much, considering I grew up with games like Halo Reach and CoD MW3. What was this old game gonna provide, right? Well, one match on DM-Fractal later, and it's now my favorite shooter ever. That first match along with Mechanism Eight in the background left such an impact on me that it's now my permanent online username.

[@nexxusty]

[@xansaibot3134]

WIth upcoming DOOM, i hope that new UT will please the fans, too. LONG LIVE THE ARENA SHOOTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edit: Sadly, new UT is ceased in development. Still, hoping that it will one day be revived. Until then, i will stay with my UT 1999

[@rixille]

I remember one map I played on back in 2002 - 2003, the server had no friendly fire (I was 13 years old, so tking was sort of amusing to me) and I learned that attacking a teammate with the pistols or any weapon pushed them a little. One guy in a server was on my team I was playing on (team deathmatch) and he was getting a flak cannon next to a lava pit. I started to shoot at him and he stopped moving are stared at me; maybe confused or trying to convince me I am wasting ammo. Little did he know that after 7 shots from the enforcer; he was pushed into the lava pit and died. 10 seconds later in chat: "wtf i am on your team you ass!" I laughed hard.. (Yeah I know, shouldn't have been a douche, but I couldn't help it.)

[@mazdanoff]

I used to get back from school, launch Station Zeto, play a couple of rounds, just to reset my mind a bit. The mutual joy from slaying enemies and listening to this was priceless. The fun fact is I eventually have gone to a point, where I was totally sucking on the other maps, while on Zeto I could be like 10 frags ahead on Godlike level. Good times.

[@Tsujanryo]

Genuinely pure tune here. Magnificent. This was playing when I truly got a hang of the game beating up on that Luthien bitch in yellow. All those missile grenades around corners finished her off quite well. Of course there's also something very poignant at work in this song. It plucks at heartstrings in a way I can't fully describe. My most beloved in the entire game. "Mechanism 8" - Zero defects!...and zero dislikes.

[@fatsephy]

+Tsujanryo One of the best ScreamTracker 3 tracks from 'necros' of Future Music / Five Musicians. It was so good that EPIC took him on as part of their music composition team for Unreal Tournament and they decided to include MECH8 in the game. He worked on about half of the game's music tracks. Look him up and check out his previous work. Very enjoyable ambient tunes I often listen to while streaming.
