Great game

The need to download the linux installer is a bit nasty, but on the plus side, the linux version doesn't require the CD resp. DVD any more after installation, while Windows user must insert the CD to play because of the copy protection (of course there are ways to bypass that, but that means eighter installing a crack or using a virtual CD drive software that costs money, and you waste hard disk space for keeping a copy of a CD or DVD already installed).

The game itself (single player) is terrific; the screenshots look much like Doom3 but the gameplay is IMO much better. You need strong nerves, though, this is definitely not a game for kids. Probably the most intense gaming experience I've ever had. Don't expect much from multiplayer mode, it is much like Q3 arena with new graphics and maps. Better get UT2004 for multiplayer matches.
