I think in UT it boils down to the mastery of one of the ten weapons.The guy with the rocket launcher wont always win one on one with a skilled dodger with the paltry bio-rifle. the sniper rifle guy might be fried by a skilled ASMD rifle player. UT forces you to develop a game style of your own.( of course i must exclude the redeemer ,which , in classic UT, owns all).

I guess it comes down to the style of game you like to play.

I love the weapon matchups of halo. It helps break the usual GO GO GO FIRE FIRE FIRE I hated in FPS multiplayer games before Halo. Like no one would be stupid enough to charge at you with a regular machine gun if you have shotgun. They will most likely walk backwards and fire at you... However if all of a sudden you switch to the needler which may be your second weapon...the other guy is pretty fucked...but he may still try to throw a sticky grenade and try to get the "death from the grave".

Usually all the good weapons need to be earned as they are stratigicly placed in areas equally accesable to both teams. And if you don't get the rocket launcher or a shotgun on some maps...this forces you to work as a team...or get raped.

Im surprised no one is talking about Return to castle Wolfenstien which I would take over UT series for multiplayer any day.

 

 

 

The same exact applies to  UT. I'm not about to run into a guy who has a flak cannon, which 1 shots. If they run away they pull out rockets or a shock rifle and you die. There's more than enough strategy than just run and gun, if you wanna be on the top of the scoreboard. Of course you also have to have skills to back that up not just knowing what  to do and when. I also felt RTCW kinda lacked, but I did enjoy the tesla gun immensely.
