Planning a new UT2004 Server (CTF/ONS/AS, Map Voting, huge map pool) – Looking for feedback!

UT General

Hi everyone!

I recently built a dedicated NAS, which gives me a great opportunity to host a stable, 24/7 Unreal Tournament 2004 server. Before setting everything up, I wanted to gauge the community's interest and get some feedback.

Here are the initial plans for the server:

  • Game Modes: I’m thinking about CTF (Capture the Flag), ONS (Onslaught), and AS (Assault). Which of these would you be most excited to play?
  • Maps: I plan to download and include as many maps as possible from the UT-archive to offer a massive variety compared to currently active servers.
  • Mods: It will feature MapVoting, but other than that, I prefer to keep it vanilla. I feel extra mods might be unnecessary, but let me know what you think.

Server Specs & Location:

  • Connection: 1000/1000 Mbps (symmetric Gigabit fiber)
  • Location: Central Europe (Hungary) – great ping for EU players.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or preferences. Would you play on a server like this?
