Unreal Tournament

Unreal Tournament or UT is a popular first-person shooter computer game. It was Epic Games's 1999 follow-up title to Unreal, and focused mainly on multiplayer action. It was launched in direct competition to id's Quake III Arena, released 10 days later. Although Quake III Arena had superior graphics and though its engine was more widely adopted, Unreal Tournament had both vastly superior bot A.I, "alternate fire" for weapons which introduced a further element of strategy, and more immersive multiplayer capabilities. Its huge multiplayer success was rewarded by various "Best Game of the Year" titles. As with the original Unreal, the ease with which players could create and release mods to the core game was a key factor contributing to Unreal Tournament's longevity. Unreal Tournament improved upon the mod-friendly nature of its predecessor with the inclusion of support for mutators.
