Honestly, nothing feels better than firing 3 rockets simultaneously at an enemy ai that just called you a bitch in voice chat.

Possibly the most meaty arena shooter on the market to this day! Several gamemodes including deathmatch, CTF, a horde mode, a mission-based attack and defend mode, and even a mode based off huge battlefields and wicked vehicles are present. Even more impressive is just how many maps are availiable for each game mode! Castles, egyptian tombs, dogfights in space, and even a train-heist await you!
Of course this quantity of content would mean nothing if it were not paired with Unreal's incredibly solid foundation. To this day, Unreal Tournament's weapon roster is incredibly unconventional yet incredibly charming and satisfying to use. Movement is also altered in a fun way with the addition of a teleportation frisbee gun and a quick (although unwieldy) dodge.
Absolutely everything in this game feels fresh even to this day and is very much worth experiencing. If the game starts getting dull, there's mutators! Or you could customize your a.i. opponents. Not enough? There is over a decade's worth of fan-made maps, weapons, and game modes (including an early version of killing floor!) out there if you want to get even more out of this amazing package. The a.i. is more than competent enough to experience this all with you!
My only mark against this game is the lack-luster campaign mode as you're honestly better off just making your own matches through freeplay. But other than that, this game is an all-you-can-eat-buffet for lovers of the genre.

The campaign mode with mods it's a dream mashuo though. Appreciate someone who loves the best UT ever.
