Who needs Gamespy?
The best part of Unreal Tournament’s GUI interface is the integrated server browser. It’s by far the best integrated server browser we’ve seen in a game. What makes it so useful is that it includes tabs for sorting the servers by game type. Highlighting any of the servers reveals pertinent information about the game, including player lists, which map is running, any mutators, and other important info. You can set favorites and save them to a separate tab as well. Overall it’s a very well designed interface and should stand as a model for others to emulate, just like the GUI as a whole. Update 12/11 The Gamespy people were quick to point out that UT’s integrated server browser actually uses Gamespy technology. So in a round about way, you DO need Gamespy. You just don’t know it!
