I didn't play 2003 so I don't know..but if 2003 sucked, then no way, it's not like 2004 at all. The modes are CTF, Assault, Onslaught, Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch and one other one that's like football but I forget the name.

The onslaught mode is awesome. The object is to destroy the opponents "power core". There are about five "power nodes" on each map and they connect to each other or the main "power core". like this:

O----o----o-----o-----o------O
blue team power core ----nodes -----red team power core

To attack the opponent's power core, you must first capture a node that connects to their core, otherwise you can't attack the core. There are some awesome vehicles (flying and driving), awesome weapons, maps and the gameplay is fast and furious.

On the demo you can play one map from each game type..Assault and Onslaught are the best but deathmatch is pretty cool and CTF is always solid. I didn't really like the football related one.

This game seriously rocks. It's been a long time since I played a demo that made me want to buy the game...oh, Painkiller is another cool game that I played last night...not as much fun as UT 2004 but still pretty cool.
