Unreal Tournament III

Mechanics

As for a product prepared with multiplayer gameplay in mind, Unreal Tournament 3 contains various gameplay modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, and Warfare. The authors decided to remove modes such as Assault, Bombing Run, and Domination. In order to add yet another dimension of mutual annihilation between the players all around the world, a global communication system was introduced (friends lists and search engines, message boxes for communicating, etc.) The players new to the series have nothing to fear. Unreal Tournament 3 was designed in such a way to introduce newbies without much hassle. Thanks to clear and comprehensible statistics, the s can choose opponents of similar skill, and avoid risking a sound defeat from the hands of veterans. If someone is in a mood for training, he can use the singleplayer mode, in which the opponents (called “bots”) are controlled by AI. The computer-controlled enemies are now much more intelligent, and can easily replace “live” players.

The game includes nine vehicles from Unreal Tournament 2004, while introducing the same amount of new ones. When it comes to weapons, we can operate using, among others, Rocket Launcher, Flak Cannon, Redeemer, Link Gun, Shock Rifle, AVRiL, Sniper Rifle, Dual Enforcers, Stinger (from the first Unreal, and Unreal Championship 2, which replaces Minigun)

Visuals

The visuals of Unreal Tournament 3 for PC, PS3 and X360 are breathtaking, which is a result of implementing the aforementioned Unreal Engine 3. Of course, the engine applies all the popular visual effects, introducing a completely new quality to the whole Unreal series.
