Nah, 2003 played much worse than 99. It was a total downgrade. And as far as I could see back then the release of 2004 was very welcome as the UT 2003 should have been. I didn’t see anyone looking at it as a potentially yearly release cycle.
And I mean, UT 3 took its sweet time and was basically just mediocre without anyone caring much.
I was really enthusiastic about the community almost open source approach of UT4 but that kind of stagnated over the years until it was unceremoniously buried after Epic had their surprise success with Fortnite.

I must be the odd one out - the slower pace of 2k3 fights better suits me.
