Before the highly anticipated Quake3, there came UT on
the market and it came as a surprise to many that it was so good. Especially
the new game mode Assault (one storms a fortress or escapes from a prison)
arouse enthusiasm in players. After a round, the sides are changed and
one must beat the time of other team. All levels are well-formed without
exception and are eventful. A tournament procedure became implemented
in which one fights only against Bots (in the team modes one gets Bots
put on their own side too and can give to them orders). You must go
through other modes such as Last Man Standing, Dominion, Assault and
3 extreme Deatmatch levels to a final opponent in Deathmatch. The good
graphics and the diverse levels, as well as the intelligent Bots already
make the single player game a lot of fun, but especially on the network
with teams, this Tournament is quite Unreal and brilliant. Taking the
action to a sampler of sci-fi settings such as a spaceship hurtling through
space and skyscrapers so tall that there was low gravity at the top, the UT
maps gave a startling sense of putting the battles in exotic locales.
Location-based headshots made the sniper rifle a force to be reckoned with.
The alternate firing mode of the shock rifle made timing-based combo attacks
possible, while a supercharged rocket launcher fired up to six explosive
rounds at once. Even the lowly pistol could be satisfying when you picked up
a second and ran around Chow Yun Fat-style, with two guns throwing out
rounds twice as fast. The mutator format made it easy to package and
distribute minor gameplay tweaks, such as instagib game types or low-gravity
settings. Since the mutators acted on the game servers, players didn't have
to download anything extra themselves; they just had to join a game with a
given mutator enabled. UT's mod scene also provided a decent selection of free
content, such as the popular Tactical Ops mod, which aped the massively
popular Counter-Strike but with UT's much better graphics under the hood.
