whoa late ass response
It's not the fact that it never got popular.. it's the fact that they focused so much on models and grahpics and custom levels, rather than the HUD and the weapons. They got the weapons ported within the first few months, as well as a few vehicles, but they never worked on the bipedal properties, energy shields, or anything. It was basically UT with a couple Halo weapons and player models.
The only weapons they got ported were the Pistol, the AR, and the Plasma Rifle. And they were all pretty glitchy. Pistol fired too slow, AR pushed corpses around way too much and headshotted (random spray = instant kill). It had potential, but all they focused on were the levels and models and skins rather than functionality. Now it's dead, and they didn't continue the project after UT3 came out.
The guys over at http://runestorm.com/ have given me my fix of a kick ass mod, though. Only two people working on the developement, too.
