Epic Games and Digital Extreme planned to bring out annually
a new version of Unreal Tournament similar to EA-Games and their Fifa
and NHL franchises which keep improving their genres year after year, but
this was last effort at that after UT2003 whose content was mostly added to
this game. It features the return of assault mode on such levels as fast-moving
trains barreling across an arid alien desert or on a Skaarj mother ship.
There's also the new onslaught mode where each team has to control strategic
points in order to attack and destroy the enemy power core. Taking place
in massive outdoor environments, it also adds new flying and driving machines
ranging from single man fighters to five man behemoths which take combatants
to the frontline and gigantic mobile battle stations serve as a platform
from which to launch devastating attacks. The game also comes with 45
new maps to toy around with, bringing the total of levels in the game
to a whopping 95. There are also 3 new weapons: the Mine layer (which
disperses spider-like bombs that chase and harass any enemy that comes
within range), the AVRiL anti vehicle rocket launcher (which deals out
a payload of massive rockets tuned to seek and destroy enemy mechanized
units), and the Grenade Launcher, which launches timed explosives that
will bounce on the ground and stick to enemies and enemy vehicles, only
to be triggered by the weapons altfire command. A revamped version of
the notorious Sniper Rifle also returns. There are 32 new characters on
four new teams: the human Thunder Crash, the Robotic Corrupt, the Skaarj
warriors team Iron Skull, and the Hellions made up of human mercenaries
and pirates. It also offers many improvements such as voice-over IP support,
voice recognition for bot commands, improved AI, redesigned menus and
huds, among many others. Several free bonus packs were released and a
million dollar Make Something Unreal Contest promotion was held for the best
fan-made mod as was won by Red Orchestra which received first prize of $50,000
and a commercial license for the Unreal engine worth $350,000.
