I guarantee it.įor your buck, Unreal Tournament performs better than a shoe-polishing monkey who can sing like Frank Sinatra in German. Assault will make an insomniac out of you. Once the goals have all been finished, the teams switch roles and the other team tries to accomplish the goals faster than the first team. One team sets out to accomplish preset goals while the other team tries to stall their progress. Quite possibly one of the most addictive gaming modes of Unreal Tournament, teams rally against each other to finish certain goals faster.
Frustration, strategy and teamwork are all elements of Domination. The round ends when a certain amount of points has been reached. For every second you hold the symbol, you are awarded points. Players of the multi-player game Starsiege Tribes will remember this style. Rather, there are symbols throughout the level that you must capture by touching them and then hold. Fun, challenging and fast-paced, it's hard to get tired of Capture the Flag.ĭomination, unfortunately, does not involve women clad in tight leather outfits wielding whips and chains.
UNREAL TOURNAMENT 2004 PC IGG MOD
This version of Capture the Flag first made its rounds in a Quake mod and has grown by leaps and bounds in Unreal Tournament. The catch? Your flag must be in your base to score. Each team has a flag and the goal is to steal the enemy flag and return it to your base. Big guns, big bases and big excitement await in this team-based mode. Options include InstaGib, reminiscent of Golden Gun mode in GoldenEye 007 where every shot kills, JumpMatch, which grants everyone GravBoots that stay on forever, Low Gravity (self-explanatory), No Powerups and Stealth Mode where all players are invisible.Ĭapture the Flag is just that. Weapon-specific matches can be set up (flak arena, pulse arena, rocket launcher arena, shock arena, chainsaw melee and sniper arena) and other fantastically inventive options exist in the game. However, Unreal Tournament goes beyond the mundane deathmatches of the past.
Either you fight with a team against another team or fight against everyone. Different game types in Unreal Tournament include Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Domination and Assault.ĭeathmatch is fairly self-explanatory. Sure, you can still have that good old "gib-fest" but you aren't limited to it. What really has Unreal Tournament out of the gate ahead of competitors is the large myriad of options available for online play. Even a recently spawned enemy armed only with the machine gun can be an admirable foe when your back is turned and you're sniping away. "Spawn" areas near some popular camping spots dissuade "campers" and keep you on your toes. Unreal Tournament's level design keeps your gaming experience a pulse-pounding, on-the-edge-of-your-seat event. The quality (or lack thereof) of levels in a game, especially a first-person shooter, can really either make or break the game. What fantastic level design! It is impeccable and superb. For control, I used just mouse and keyboard and found it to be quite effective. Many a time I narrowly avoided a hallway of inbound rockets with this simple, yet effective, maneuver. One of my favorite control options was the jump to the left or right my character would do when I'd tap the "strafe right" or "strafe left" key twice. I found the control to be easily configurable to tailor my personal first person shooter preferences. Before you play online, I suggest playing with some 'bots to get the feel for how you move, how opponents move and how your weapons work. The difficulty levels of 'bots, computer opponents who simulate the people you play online, can be toggled to meet your current skill level and to help train yourself for bigger and better challenges. For those wishing to play single player, this game most certainly does not disappoint. While Unreal Tournament is a stunning game for the multi-player enthusiast, concerns were raised when the game was created about its "offline" appeal. The sparse selection of player models is about the only gripe I have about the graphics in Unreal Tournament. The characters, special effects, weapons and game lighting have all been expertly crafted to bring a visual experience that rises above the competition. While the texture definition is not as precise as with competitor Quake III Arena, the levels are still eye pleasing. Using a modified version of the Unreal engine, the game is smoother and slicker than a sheet of ice. Unreal Tournament's visuals are second to none. Beckoning wayward gamers from abroad, Unreal Tournament promises much more than just an eye candy experience.
Unreal Tournament is a glowing, shining beacon in a sea of multi-player games.
