Unreal Tournament 2003

Unreal Tournament 2003 is a first-person shooter computer game designed mainly for multiplayer gaming although the game had a built in single-player mode that mimics multiplayer gaming by featuring AI-bots. The game is part of the Unreal franchise's series of games and is a the sequel to 1999's Unreal Tournament. Unreal II: The Awakening was released as a sister product to the game, however, was developed for single-player only. Later, Unreal II would receive an add-on that would enable a multiplayer mode. It was followed by Unreal Tournament 2004 released in March of 2004.

Gameplay

The available combat modes are:

  • Deathmatch
  • Team Deathmatch
  • Capture the flag
  • Double Domination — In double domination your team must control two points on the map. Holding both locations for a certain period of time gives your team a point.
  • Bombing Run — Bombing run can best be described as Unreal-style football where the player gets the ball and has to take it into enemy territory and score in the enemy forces goal. Players can pass to other teammates. Getting killed causes you to fumble the ball.
  • Last man standing — All players in this gametype spawn with a limited number of lives. The person to use up all their lives last, wins.
  • Invasion — Is a co-op gametype where you play with all the players in the server in an attempt to kill the invading alien AI. If you're killed the player sits out until your team clears the map of aliens.
  • Mutant — Mutant is very similar to a "king of the hill" type of gameplay. The first person to make a kill becomes the mutant, which gives them unlimited ammo, camouflauge, and super speed. The mutant then tries to get as many kills as he can until he's killed. The person who kills the mutant then becomes the mutant.
