While it’s not ideal there is something actively played out there kind of recent…
I’ll copy-paste a previous comment about it here:
Though development is long dead, the servers were taken offline recently and it was delisted by Epic, people are still playing the Unreal Tournament pre-alpha (commonly called UT4) which you can get here: www.ut4ever.org/downloads
You’ll also need to register an account here and merge it with an Epic account: ut4.timiimit.com/Instructions/UT4UU
The download should come with the unofficial update which gives access to the private servers, I play on the Unreal Carnage servers regularly which often gets 8-15 players at a time, more than enough for some deathmatch. Would love to see some more people around!
(Mind I’m in New Zealand, which is why my ping is so high, the netcode handles it well somehow)

Oohh, I heard about that. I’ve just kept playing the community maintained UT’99 and a little bit of 2k4.
