IIRC first game since Prey to do this, although FM2009 and a couple of others
require you do it for copy protection, which is kind of different.
The achievments being added is a new twist, though.

I haven't played it in ages but I thought I might as well move the install folder to my steam folder and let steam manage the updating of it. Rather handy that is, I may even get around to shooting other people.

Good. Does that mean we play this more now?

Hopefully. Even with a few we could invade a random server of fight against a horde of bots. I get a bit bored of straight death match in most shooters, I get bored even faster in ut games. They seem to make some of the best maps for objective based fighting.

Understandable, it was fucking awful in version 1 - 2. Random crashes were to be expected, it turned out you could almost predict to the minute when it was going to crash.
It holds a special place in my heart as the thing that got me into game art/level design, helping me to find a career I wanted to do. Got nowhere, mind.

Bah, steam is quite accepting of ut3 but it won't actually run it. Dunno what's gone wrong but I don't possess the bandwidth to actually download it through steam.

Also, says "new features including enhanced AI".. I'm sorry? You cannot possibly fix such a horrible AI as in UT.
