UT, the perfect balance in walk friction between Quake's "Rollerblading Robot Dipped in Motor Oil on Ice" and Half Life/CS's "Awkwardly Locked Knees with Leg Arthritis" feel.

Back in '99-2000 I was definitely an Unreal Tournament guy.
Edit: Also it ran awesome on my voodoo 3 with glide.

My favorite UT2003 maps:

I always liked the big outdoor maps the most, but I think those in UT2004 were even too huge for their own good.
Worst thing about UT2003 was the loss of the enforcer and replaced with that horrid as shit AR.
Quake II LMCTF was the bee's knees. Spent a unhealthy amount of time playing back in the day.

The weapon balance in general was IMO better though, and I personally loved that they exchanged sniper rifle to lightning gun, which made campers' life harder.

UT is for people who suck at quake 3 and need a in-between child competitive fps. If you wanted to make money playing fps, you played Quake, not UT.

Instead of "shock combo," everyone in my college dorms called it "blue bullshit."
Edit: Also grabbing the redeemer and then firing it at your feet to blow up yourself and like 5 other people was awesome.
Definitely. Quake might be iconic, but UT99 is flawless.
Yeah and this is why UT2003 mostly sucked (beside lack of UT99 features). When you start you are horribly under-powered like in Q3. With enforcer you could put anyone with 3-4 headshots.
Lightning gun was shit. Assault rifle was leagues above that horrible peace of crap. Also campers ? Really in Ut99 or Q3 there was no camping when people compete with each other on certain skill level. Camping in game with someone who know how to play is quick way to lose.

It certainly was a problem in UT99. Why else would they have set UT03 so, that if you remained stationed too long, the game announced "Camper!", and revealed your position to the others.
Preach on, brother!
Most memorable MP map ever made, EVER!

UT2K4 had pretty much the best soundtrack of any FPS ever.
So awesome to get in the game when almost every song was completely adrenaline-pumping.
edit: And Convoy, combined with the soundtrack, is literally the best thing ever to happen to mankind

Accept no substitutes.
I always liked the UT03 version more, as the pyramid in the middle prevented cheap sniping from the towers, and you had effectively two return routes instead of one.

Competitively Quake hands down....but for me UT was way more fun, and offered a much better experience, not to mention UT had assault, and I fucking love assault. I started with UT99, but I preferred 2004, and I played the hell out of it. UT3 disappointed me compared to the others, but I don't think its a "bad" game overall. It just feels so damn different to 2004 which I have devoted vastly more time in so i'm sure that weighs heavily on my impression of it.
There was a tactical side to Q3 that on the surface was easy to miss.
For example, the red armor and yellow armor. Do you want to deprive your opponent of both? You'll have to damage yourself to do so. Or do you want to leave them up and set a trap for your opponent, denying them? If you're both good you'll know the timings of all the pickups. But its not just about knowing the map and controlling it, its examining your opponents style and anticipating his moves. I expect UT was similar.
Having pickups in an online fps is something I really miss. I'm sure one of the CoD's had a game type like that, but not many played it. There was more xp to be earned in search and destroy, and thats all that mattered. I guess.

I really want to replay UT2k4 now...
Yeah UT has the same power up system, those were the days. Such a shame that the frantic fast paced gameplay can't be replicated on the current consoles, UT3 was such a let down

Oh it's huge.

Is the instagib option still there? I enjoyed playing that for a while. I got all the noobs to scream cheater whenever I showed up when I started to improve skillwise
This is true.
It's a travesty that every single sequel was shit compared to the original UT. Quake, as a series, has been handled far better.

UT had more content than god, you could make that game into whatever you wanted it to be.

The flak cannon in UT99 is one of the best weapons in a multiplayer fps ever. I also really like the sniper and the pulse rifle; all so satisfying.

Another Flack Cannon guy here. Which is one of the reasons I didn't like UT04 that much, as they nerfed the good old FC. I dunno if the balance was changed later on, as I didn''t play the game for that long, but I remember the Minigun being too powerful back then. Which is why it was the dominant weapon in multiplayer matches.

Oh the memories. Thresh and Immortal in quake 2. In quake 3 Cypher, the best shot/aim i've ever seen in competitive fps. The skill ceiling in those games was high. Now we have cod as the premier MLG shooter... well I suppose communicating effectively with your teammates can be considered a skill.
I'd add q3tourney4 to that. Such a fun map.

I think its more because the OP wanted this to be UT99 vs. Quake 3 and not necessarily the two whole franchises. It still pretty much worked out in the end though.
I'm not really a big fan of super fast arena shooters but I always loved Quake for some reason. I remember I had a demo for Quake 3 that came with an old pc gamer issue that I played endlessly.
Unreal, however, is fucking terrible. 99, 2k3, whatever, all dog shit. Unreal is the Timesplitters of pc gaming.
