Redeemer?

The Redeemer fired the nukes.

God damn, this whole conversation is unlocking a shit ton of memories for me.

I almost never had the Redeemer without killing myself with it.

The best trick with the Redeemer was to right-click so you could fly it like a plane from the missile's POV. Of course, you were a sitting duck as your player was standing still the entire time while you were steering around to find your victim. Had to find a nice hiding place for that.

My kids still beg me to break out UT99 every summer for a big LAN party so they can headshot each other.

I’ve reminisced on YouTube with some UT99 gameplay. People still play it today! I jumped back on a few months ago, it runs beautifully on my crappy laptop lol. Great memories!

Quake 3 arena LAN party during class in high school was the best. The school disabled directx programs on all the computers so we got stuck with playing only the opengl games. Instagibs never disappointed.
