Unreal tournament is an FPS game released in 1999 by Epic Games and Digital Extremes.

It is known as the game which got many people into the FPS genre; and start them off on multiplayer gaming. The bot AI and the wide assortment of modifications make it still one of the best online FPS games. In an unmodified unreal tournament there are 6 game types. Deathmatch; Team Deathmatch; Capture the Flag; Domination; Assault and Last Man Standing. The titles are pretty self explanatory, but for the thread's sake I'll explain each one.
In deathmatch you fight against a number of bots or players to get a certain amount of frags. One of the most widely used maps for deathmatch is "Deck16."

In team deathmatch, you have the same goal as regular deathmatch, just in a team (:derp:). Capture the Flag is another great game type, where you defend your flag and capture the enemy flag. The greatest map for that is CTF-Face :frogc00l:

Now, in domination you fight in teams to take control of control points which are placed around the map. the more control points you have the faster your score will rise. Most of the pre-made maps for domination suck, but you can find some custom ones on the internet easily :buddy:
Assault is a team completing objectives and taking over a location while the other team defends against it. In AS-Frigate, one team attacks a boat and completes the objectives within while the other team tries to defeat the oncoming attack.

Last Man Standing is basically deathmatch; but you have a certain amount of lives before you get sent to spectator mode. Now, on to custom gamemodes.
Monster Hunt is my personal favorite as well as a lot of others. You and other players go through medium-large maps killing monsters and searching for ways to escape. In MH-DeadCity2, you hide from zombies at night and explore at day. You have to go through caves and defeat the zombies to complete it. Overall this is one of the most fun gamemodes available. You can download it [url=http://www.moddb.com/mods/monster-hunt]here[/url].
Bunny Track is another widely played gamemode, where you get put in an obstacle course to reach the finish. On most bunny track servers, the fastest one to reach the end holds a server record for that map. There are hundreds of bunnytrack maps to try out.

And then there's jailbreak (thanks for the info subenji99!)
[quote=subenji99]Jailbreak is a round based Team Deathmatch game. When a player is killed, they are put into the opposing teams' jail. Your teammates can rescue you from jail by finding the release button in the opposing teams' base. A team scores by capturing all players of the opposing team in their jail at once. Games are usually run to x amount of caps.
Some maps also have secret passages out of jail, which usually require teamwork to access. Also, most maps have an "Arena", where jailed players from opposing teams can fight for freedom. Players are picked randomly for the Arena.
It is a very polished gamemode, and the bots do know how to play it too, so give it a shot.[/quote]
There is also Thievery, Weapons Factory, Forward Edge Battle Area and Fragball. Mikaru Yanagida has kindly summarized each one :buddy:
[QUOTE=Mikaru-Yanagida;28184757]You know, Ut99 has a nice ton of mods, but most of them are just weapon mods and not gameplay mods. The most impressive example of a gameplay mod is [url=http://www.thieveryut.com/]Thievery[/url], it's a mod that's basically multiplayer thief game in the unreal engine. There's also another one out there called [url=http://www.moddb.com/mods/weapons-factory-ut]Weapons Factory[/url], which is basically a really impressive (in my opinion, at least) a very nice TF2 clone complete with 10 classes. The tenth class isn't even a civilian class, which makes it more interesting. Even more neat is the [url=http://www.moddb.com/mods/forward-edge-battle-area]Forawrd Edge Battle Arena[/url], which has 2 teams with completely different class systems, and it plays really well on assault maps! For you sports fans out there, there's a gameplay mod called [url=http://www.moddb.com/mods/fragball]Fragball[/url]
So yeah, there's a lot of UT mods out there that are really worth the effort put into them (in my opinion, to say the very least.[/quote]

A medium-large DM rat map fueled by the motivation of facepunch yadayadaydda, there are 3 main rooms, the "facepunch nerd" bedroom, a young girls bedroom and a storage room. All three are connected by a hallway and some tunnels.

Man this game takes me back
Oh the memories...
i still have my copy sitting in my desk with the unreal gold disk and unreal 2 and championship sneakpeek.
I'm going to be honest, I have never played a UT game.

Get UT99 and play it. If you like FPS games you'll love it.
Good times. :v:
It's amazing how active this one still is.
This and Half-Life Deathmatch is what got me into PC gaming, so many good memories having LAN battles at my mates house.
I still play this game a lot. It just never stops being fun!
I played the original Unreal more than UT. Made shitloads of maps for it.
I played this yesterday. Great fun. The AI is a bit outdated, though.
this is still my favorite UT game out of the series
better than ut2004 imo
Me and my friends put this on a flash drive, and just LAN throughout Multimedia class.
UT2004 best Unreal
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;28172331]UT2004 best Unreal[/QUOTE]
I disagree. I have always had more fun with UT99.
also liked the music in ut99 better
ut2004 turned to this weird techno bs or something idk
only memorable song from ut2004 was hyperblast redux (which was a remix of a ut99 song)
in contrast, i pretty much remember and love all the ut99 songs
What are you smoking.

This was fantastic.
UT2004 had the best soundtrack.

gotta love UT99's soundtrack though
Not to mention all the amazing mods and even separate games existing thanks to UT2004.

I have always preferred UE2.5 over Source of the time.
god just listening to the soundtrack gets me nostalgic
i need to find the soundtrack
I've played this since I was 3/4.
Good times.

Best maps
facing worlds
i would mess around on that map with bots and have a field day sniping everybody
Playing Assault maps endlessly is one of my fondest early PC gaming memories. Also the Infiltration realism mod for this was sick, its just too bad it eventually got killed by its own community. Every single server would run 90% custom maps, 3rd party anti cheat you'd have to download before hand, a gigabyte worth of mutators, extra skins, models, weapons. The community was just too hardcore for its own good. It was the biggest gaming hassle I've ever been through trying to keep up to date with all the bullshit you needed to play that game.

My bro was just doing that an hour ago.
I only ever played UT2004
What was the reason the Ripper was removed from UT2k4 and UT3 again?
[QUOTE=Dr.Cola;28173465]What was the reason the Ripper was removed from UT2k4 and UT3 again?[/QUOTE]
I really don't know.
Funny enough, I'm listening to the soundtrack as I saw this thread :v:
I bought Unreal Deal Pack, including UT GOTY when it was on discount.
