When Unreal Tournament 2003 was released I was anticipating even more online fun and mayhem. Sadly, UT2003 never enjoyed the same level of popularity as the original UT. Some credit the many "Quake-like" changes the game underwent, others couldn't quite put their finger on it. Either way, it just wasn't UT99. But damn yes, i miss this movement, the boostdodges and shieldjumps.
Now Epic Games, Digital Extremes and Atari have worked long and hard to introduce Unreal Tournament 2004. More than just an incremental upgrade from UT2003, it returns Unreal Tournament to its roots. The character models, guns, music and maps all look and play like UT. Bigger, better and with a great new gameplay mode called Onslaught, UT2004 is the real thing. In a few month UT3 is coming and perhaps this turorial is useless, but until that day we play UT2004 together!I've written this guide to provide you with everything you need to know to improve your UT2004 experience. As a compilation of detailed setting descriptions, recommendations, tweaks and links to important resources it guarantees something for every fan of this game.
Note: This guide refers to the latest version of UT2004 Version 3369 and the 64-Bit Version. Make sure to check back regularly for updates.
