UT1 announcer is one of the definitive features for me in UT. It's not taken to the silly manly-man-doing-loud-noises as the UT200X "sports commentator" variants had, but packs a punch with certain cruelty in it. Maybe make a few different ones available as UT200X has.
As for taunts, the voice taunts of UT1 are still sticking in my head (You like that?, yes I do). More so I would like to see animated gestures return. Nothing like the good old thrust during the end-game scoreboard view.Also known as musilowski.

Somebody made an awesome add-on voice pack for Xan in 2k4 with F-bombs, and all kinds of nasty stuff that I had nicely bound with the speech binder. Yes we need a speech binder!
As for the announcer, I'd almost say don't bother recording new ones at this point - just allow choosing from the ones already made over all of the games. Would be nice to have new ones but conserving developer bandwidth for the more important stuff is key right now.

Also, censorship is fine so long as it is optional (child mode, whatever), but absolutely imperative a completely uncensored mode or option is included. None of that "F yeah" ********.
As for the announcer, bring back the original (UT99), or if he's no longer available, at least the original voice filter. Not that Prozac-junkie sports announcer from 2k3. UT3s is alright, but the original is (and always will be) best - think about it, the original UT99's announcer is the one which lead to an entire generation of rip-offs in other games, such as Halo.

UT99 taunts were awesome and had style! They were varied, interesting to listen to and not monotone. I hope Epic also includes the old ones.
If you compare the taunts in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCfqoUIug64, you clearly hear the that the UT99 robot voice has a slight background humming and sounds better than the others without it. I really disliked the taunts in UT3 that I turned them off, because they were always shouting and had that tough-guy-attitude. Like swearing to look tough, while you don't need swearing or "your-mama stuff" to make taunts awesome. For me it makes it more annoying and unbelievable. Because come on, "I am the Alpha and the Omega", "Witness my perfection", "That had to hurt!" sounds way better than "You *******" or "Eat **** and die".
He's proving my point here:

I'm new to the UT franchise, but I bet these are UT3's taunts they've put in UT4... I just want to turn them off, but not the announcer though, and there's only a global voice setting at the moment. I also agree that UT99's taunts sound good, and that you should have an option to select an announcer voice. Also, how can it be that difficult to just bring back the old voice packs? So ok, there might be some missing lines for some reasons, but still, I bet this is possible to make it in less than one day then deploying it as a hotfix.
