I'm trying to buy this game. I ordered it on Amazon.com, but it was back ordered. I don't want to use Ebay if I can help it. Google is not helping much... Any suggestions?
Also, discuss your sneaky tactics (for any version of UT).
Mine mostly involve the translocater, and are very helpful during CTF.
For example, finding alternate ways through levels (usually involving firing the translocater through a tight spot... Especially, when you're playing against a team that's guarding certain entrances to their base, and suddenly I've got their flag and no one knows how I got into their base.
Or my favorite trick. Charge into the base, grab the flag and run out back towards your own base. But, as you're grabbing the flag, fire your translocater into a corner (this is much easier in the original UT, since there's no trails, so people are less likely to notice). Then, one of two things will happen. Either you'll escape and capture the flag, at which point, you can teleport right back to their base to take their flag again (hopefully before they have time to recover), or just before they kill you, you teleport back to their base. When they return the flag, you grab it again and run out another exit. (I don't know how often these sorts of things are done already during online play, cause I typically only play LAN with various friends, so if these are well established tactics, then cut me some slack... I invented them as far as I'm concerned... :p )
Another nice trick is playing dead. Doesn't work against bots, but against human players, it can be an excellent tool, especially if you're playing against people that don't know it can be done (btw, can this be done in UT 2004? I can't figure it out). They fire a rocket or something at you, which does some damage, but doesn't kill you. But then you tap the fake death button, and they, assuming that you're dead, run off to kill someone else... At which time you stand up and resume whatever you were doing. This is especially helpful if you're in or near the enemy base, since if you kill the people, they'll just respawn near enough to come after you again, but if they think you're dead, they're likely to leave the area.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Nothing beats hitting someone in the leg, making them spiral off a cliff and into a tree. *sigh*
