Blur vs oasis. Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat. Monkeys on motorbikes vs those really smart dolphins that work for the navy. All the great rivalries of yesteryear, rendered redundant with the passing of time, in much the same way as all human affairs. And so too the long-running conflict between Unreal Tournament and Quake.
Unreal Tournament 2004 is a multiplayer first person shooter that combines the kill-or-be-killed experience of gladiatorial combat with cutting-edge technology. Ten game modes - both team-based and 'every man for himself' - provide even the most hardcore gamer with palm-sweating. $14.99 Visit the Store Page.
Outgunned by Counter-Strike, left for dead by the rise of the new hybrids, the old deathmatch stalwarts no longer rule the domain they forged, forced to scrabble for third and fourth place like rats competing for scraps.Quake, for its part, has bowed out quietly, Quake 4 now confirmed as a primarily single-player affair. Luckily, UT doesn't play that way. The third game in the series, Unreal Tournament 2004. is currently nearing completion. It's packed full of new ideas, it's as polished as a brass knocker and it has a whole new generation of online shooters set firmly in its sights.
Biblical Proportions
UT2004 is set to be the most complete multiplayer shooter package ever assembled. Extending its remit to include vehicles and new teamplay modes. UT2004 is hoping to outgun the likes of Battlefield 1942 and PlanetSide and ride the trend of large-scale teambased gaming. At the same time, the game bolsters its support for all the established fan favourites, offering a shedload of new maps, character models, skins and gameplay tweaks. Add to this all the existing content from UT2003 and the various upgrade packs, and suddenly you have an all-you-can-eat FPS buffet of extraordinary proportions. Viber trackid sp 006. Game modes now take in Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, CTF, Domination, Bombing Run, Mutant, Last Man Standing, Assault and the new Onslaught, along with countless mutators, variations and fan-created mods. There's depth and girth here to make any pomstar proud.We met up with Epic Games this month to play the new game and chat with the lads, who were extremely excited about their big new package. 'There were 37 maps in UT2003' enthuses Epic vice president Mark Rein.
'There's more than 37 new maps in UT2004. So, there will be more new content in UT2004 than in the whole of the previous game. And you get all that in there too.'It's massive bang for your buck, euro or currency of choice,' chips in Jay Wilbur, strategic advisor to Epic Games.
'Plus, we're better now at making maps with this technology,' beams Mark. 'So all the maps are improvements over those in UT2003. It's not just more for the sake of more - they look better, they play smoother. Even our deathmatch maps are our best deathmatch maps ever.'
Having only played a couple of the new deathmatch maps, we're hard pushed to verify this claim, though certainly the ones we've seen seemed focused and playable. Some of the maps in UT2003 lost their way in their desire to show off the graphical clout of the new engine - think of the soaring trees of Tokara Forest and the complex terrain of DM-Antalus. Though stunning, they didn't prove all that much fun to play, and it's this that Epic is clearly trying to avoid in UT2004.
A Classic Reborn
However, the real killer content for UT2004 consists in the two new team-based game modes - Assault and Onslaught. The first of these will be instantly familiar to fans of the original game, as it's a direct remake of one of the old and much-loved UT modes. Basically speaking, Assault pits two teams against each other in an objective-led struggle for domination - Team A attacks a series of objectives and Team B defends them. The key to its popularity the first time round was the cleverly designed maps, which offered a brilliant tactical atmosphere as attackers advanced and retreated through the choke points, inching in fits and starts towards their objective.This time, the maps are bigger, more dynamic and far more varied in style, at least one actually taking place in space, replete with nimble fighter ships and frenzied dog fighting.
'All of the new Assault levels are designed to represent famous historical battles from the Unreal universe,' explains Mark. 'The Mothership level is a battle from the original Unreal, which takes advantage of some of our space-borne vehicles. It's totally different from anything we've had in an Unreal game before. As the attackers you're the humans, while the mothership is manned with Skaarj. At the start you're in a spaceship, while the Skaarj players have a choice of manning turrets or jumping in their own attack ships to fend you off.' 'The old Assault mode was fast, it was quick,' clarifies Jay. 'In the new mode there are multiple layers and multiple objectives. In the Mothership level you have to destroy the shield generators while fighting in space, then land in the docking bay. Then you're running around inside the mothership and there's another set of objectives to complete.'
Each of the levels also has one or more secondary objectives. In Mothership, once you've breached the docking bay and boarded the ship, you can go and shut the Grav Units off, which causes all sorts of hilarity and headaches for the defenders. It allows the attacking team to float in through air-ducts as well as streaming down the catwalks, and a stack of conveniently placed crates starts to drift around as well. In some maps you can create forward spawn points, as in Enemy Territory. 'We've worked hard to make Assault play longer and cooler.' says Jay. 'But without losing a sense of focus.'A host of new devices have also been introduced to make Assault as accessible as possible. Each map has a fly-through tutorial (a kind of voiced walkthrough) for complete newcomers, while bloody great arrows point you in the right direction during the game. Best of all though, you can press the 'N' key at any time to send a small glowing wisp off in the direction of the next objective. Follow the wisp and you'll never get lost again.
Car Wars
The second new game mode added to UT2004 is Onslaught, a sprawling vehiclebased affair that borrows ideas from Battlefield 1942, PlanetSide and Enemy Territory while retaining a distinct flavour of its own. Of all the new features in UT2004, this is without doubt the most significant, and Epic is doing its damnedest to get it right.'Onslaught is a game type we developed to really show off the vehicles we've put in the game,' explains Jay. 'It's team-based and multi-objective-based. Each team starts out with a power core, and the two cores are linked by a network of power nodes that spans the map. Your goal is to capture a number of nodes to make a direct chain between your power core and the enemy's power core. Once you've got that direct chain set up you can attack the enemy's core and destroy it.'
It may sound complicated on paper, but the Onslaught gameplay ts instantly recognisable in practice. It's essentially just a more organised, futuristic version of Battlefield 1942. Instead of running around randomly trying to control all the points at once, you advance gradually from one side of the map to the other, always knowing which point you need to capture next. To capture an open node you simply run across it, after which it will slowly power up to full strength (though you can use the alt-fire on the link gun to speed it up), and to take an enemy's node you first have to reduce its power to zero by blasting the crap out of it. It's simple, potentially very tactical and already fun.
Give Me More
Much of the jollity in Onslaught arises from piloting the new vehicles (see boxout), though as there aren't always enough rides to go around, you often find yourself trudging about on foot. This can be frustrating, but there are at least some cool new weapons to keep you occupied. There's the bulky AVRiL. or Anti-Vehicle Rocket Launcher, which is capable of taking most vehicles out with one or two of its homing rockets. There are the sticky grenades, which can be stuck all over a vehicle or enemy and detonated remotely, and then there are the awesome Spider Mines, undoubtedly our favourite new weapon. These little critters are semi-autonomous robots that can be fired at the ground and left to their own devices. If there are no enemies around they'll sit and wait, but as soon as one wanders in their vicinity they'll come to life and launch an explosive kamikaze attack at their face.
Onslaught is quite a departure from the traditional UT gameplay. Without it. and to a lesser extent the recharged Assault mode. UT2004 would be very much a straight expansion pack. Whether these new modes are enough to challenge the likes of Battlefield 1942 remains to be seen, though there's no denying they've already produced a lot of laughs in the office.Luckily, we don't have to wait long to find out. as the game is very nearly complete. We fully expect to have the UK's first review of UT2004 in our very next issue, so tune in then for our definitive verdict.
The Power Of Voice
Epic Revives The Oral Tradition With Voice-Controlled Bots
UT2004 features potentially one of the coolest developments in squad-based games in years: voice-controlled Al bots. Put simply, this allows you to forego keyboard shortcuts for commanding Al players, and shout at them through a headset instead. So, if you're about to make a brave dash for an objective, you could turn to your computer-controlled cohorts and bellow: 'Alpha, cover me. Delta, attack the objective. Gamma, hold position.' Or something like that.
Epic has been reluctant to talk about the feature until recently, as the technology has needed a lot of fine-tuning, but they're now happy to start bragging.'We considered it absolutely necessary for the new game, but it didn't actually come into fruition until recently,' says Jay Wilbur. 'You've only got a limited set of commands - it's not like those talking typewriter things where you can train it to understand your voice, ft's more like those telephones that you can pick up and tell it 'call so-and-so'. It works really well.'
Other games to offer Al voice recognition include SWAT: Global Strike Team and Rainbow Six 3 on Xbox, but UT2OO4 is set to be the first on PC. Needless to say, we expect to see more of this type of functionality in the future - not just for giving orders to bots, but Issuing a range of commands to the game itself ('open door', 'release chaff', 'launch torpedo', etc), and eventually, perhaps, having something approaching a conversation with bots. In the meantime, it's going to save a lot of time spent faffing around with command menus.

- Review by Mick
Fast paced first person shooter (FPS) action is at your fingertips with Unreal Tournament 2004 (UT2004). A large amount of weapons lets you wreak havoc on your foes with unlimited creativity. A campaign combined with multiplayer, at home and online, will give you unlimited hours of FPS delight. With the adult language and large amount of gore this game is better suited for older players.
Compete for the Ultimate Prize
UT2004 is a futuristic FPS game. Free online games blackjack 21. A single player mode is available, but this game focuses largely on multiplayer action. The game is set in the year 2362, and various characters make up teams that are competing in the most anticipated tournament ever. Duplicate file cleaner 1 0 download free. 12 teams in all will be competing for the tournament trophy and bragging rights.
Deep Multiplayer
There are several modes of gameplay available with the most in depth being multiplayer. Multiplayer has two choices: you can compete against computer opponents to hone your skill or play online against other people. Various scenarios are available for multiplayer action. You can compete in Assault where teams alternate turns defending or attacking an objective.
Onslaught is another option where you must capture nodes and destroy the enemies power core. Onslaught allows the use of vehicles adding to the action.
Two other scenarios, Capture the Flag and Bombing Run are similar in objective (you must take an object to a point to score). In Capture the Flag, you must infiltrate the enemy base capture their flag and return it to your own base. In Bombing Run, an orb will be placed in the center of the map, you must pick it up and deliver it to the enemy base. These are only a few of the scenarios you can compete in.
Large Assortment of Weapons
There are tons of weapons available for fighting. Standard rifles, Bio rifles that shoot green blobs that melt your opponents, even a lightning gun. All guns have two modes of fire extending your destructive capabilities even further. Vehicles have weapons as well. The scorpion has blades that extend out and slice enemies in half. Controlling your character is quite easy movement is accomplished with the WASD keys, and aiming and shooting is done with the mouse.
Good Presentation
The graphics in UT2004 are good for this type of game. They aren't the best ever but are similar to Halo style graphics. The soundtrack and sound effects are great for this game. The character sound bites are unsuitable for kids but very entertaining for adults, the intended game audience. It is possible to turn the gore off but online players can speak through microphones and there is no filter.

Learning Curve for Multiplayer
Online play is very entertaining, but has a very steep learning curve. If you are unfamiliar with online FPS gaming you will need a lot of practice before you can hope to compete. This is one of the few drawbacks to UT2004. Experienced FPS gamers will be able to pick up on the tricks of the game relatively quick but others will struggle for a time.
Conclusion - Fantastic Multiplayer FPS
UT2004 takes multiplayer gaming to a new level. With all the scenarios available you can certainly find something to suit your style of play. A large stash of weapons and vehicles lets you destroy your opponents in any way your heart desires. Younger kids should not play this game due to the gore and adult language, but it is an excellent game for anyone else.
