A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Unreal Tournament 2004. Someone made a post about a reworked version free to download a few days ago and I've been hooked ever since. I've mostly been playing story-driven single-player RPGs lately and having a game that you just boot up and play three action-packed matches in ten minutes is a breath of fresh air.

I loved that game so much. Are you playing against bots or are there a decent number of humans online?

There are, and it's awesome! It was kind of shocking to see populated servers in a 20+ year-old game lol
