I like that the link you posted is for unreal 2004. I used to play that with my mates in 2004 when I was 16 years old.
The server with the least lag and most players was always a French server, when it was the end of my night I'd start yelling "France is shit" into the mic until I got banned. I'd go to bed then play on the same server the next day because my DHCP IP address lease would renew overnight on my 2MB broadband ISP.
I don't know why I used to do that - we all thought it was hilarious though. We were actually quite a good onslaught and CTF team too.
