Somebody just revealed their age.
Relics (runes, artifacts) have been around a very long time. Since Threewave CTF at least, probably even sooner.
Welcome to the games, young one.
LOL on the contrary, Im probably the oldest Chaos player (over 21+ Although I like to act like im 12yrs old sometimes). But I never played UT, UT2k3, or UT2k4 for the game itself, only the mods. and I only played one UT mod, played it for 2 years. I originally played and got tired of normal UT on PS2. And didnt get into PC games till about 2 yrs ago. Then got ut2k4 for the mods again cuz I liked chaos from ut2k3. And from what you describe the relics as, I just call them "power-ups" like we did in the old school Nintendo/Genesis days. No need for Cliffy B's fancy-schmancy naming convention. But they sound sweet all the same. (and think, how could a 'young one' run the coolest duel server around?! HMM ? HMM?! )

Doesn't the grav belt pretty much serv that purpose?
No redemption relic? Awww... Well... The redemption relic is kinda similar to vengence, but it was nice to respawn elsewhere in the map with all your weapons and no kill against your score.
Vampire should be pretty fun to play with though.
Do these come with sounds to let you know when you have one in effect? (The old UT99 regen relic had a low whirr noise whenever it gave you health, and the weapon one made the UDamage sound whenever you fired your weapon)
Finally, is there any visual indication to inform us what relic an enemy is holding? (UT99, the regen one encased your character in a blue mesh when it regened, armor gave a green mesh when you were hit, damage gave a purple/pink mesh when they fired, speed had speed trails, and vengence/redemption had nothing)
i really like the speed relics after image effects.

Well i can throw in an Atari 2600 and before that i can throw in a Pong controller that had and extra detachable paddle, and had a gun attachment for skeet shooting, as well as about every way you can play pong there is. Before that i was in 6th grade i think writing basic on an apple 2e, making the screen flash diffrent colors and printing words. LOL
