'''Unreal Tournament 3''', also known as '''UT3''' (previously codenamed '''Envy''' and also formerly named '''Unreal Tournament 2007''', '''UT2007''', or '''UT2k7''') is [[Epic Games]]' sequel to [[Unreal Tournament 2004]]. Published by [[Midway Games]], UT3 is powered by Epic's new [[Unreal Engine 3]]. The game was released in late November 2007 for the PC, December 2007 (NA) and February 2008 (EU) for PS3, and July 2008 for XBox 360. The Mac/Linux versions are currently scheduled for an undetermined date in 2008.

==History==
UT3 was revealed to the world in the May 2005 issue of Computer Gaming World magazine. The first news of it began to appear on or around March 27, 2005. The game was originally codenamed UT "Envy", but later, around May 29, 2005, it was revealed that the name had been changed to '''Unreal Tournament 2007'''. It was not until January 25, 2007 at the Midway Gamer's Day event in Las Vegas that it was revealed that the game's name had been changed to '''Unreal Tournament 3'''. This change was met with great enthusiasm from the Unreal fan base.

Many changes have been made to the originally announced design of the game. For example, a game mode named Conquest that was originally announced was later complemented by [[Unreal Warfare]] and then replaced by it altogether. There was also an Onslaught 2.0 announcement which has also been rolled into the all-encompassing [[Warfare]] gametype.

Unreal Tournament 3 promises a return to the "feel" of the original Unreal Tournament. Epic aims to make the game more in-your-face, fast-paced, and less "floaty". To accomplish this, gravity has been increased and dodge-jumping has been removed. However, dodging, double jumps, and wall dodging will remain with their effect somewhat diminished due to the newly increased gravity. Gameplay in UT3 stresses close combat more than its predecessors UT2003 and UT2004. Many of the weapons are more effective up close. Epic stresses that the aim of UT3 is to create a whole new - and better - game, rather than merely a prettier UT2004. In addition to this, old favorites from the original UT such as jump boots and the ability to feign death returned in UT3.

===Beta Demo===
At Midnight on Friday, October 12th, 2007, Fileplanet began preloading the game to its subscribers.

The demo was unlocked and released on FilePlanet at 12:35 PM on Friday, October 12th. The release was apparently several hours earlier than intended, probably in response to a Norwegian site, "IT Avisen", leaking the demo approximately 5 hours earlier than FilePlanet.

The demo, which is Version 3464 according to the startup logs, comes with 3 maps: [[DM-ShangriLa]], [[DM-HeatRay]], and [[VCTF-Suspense]]. Of note is that DM-HeatRay was the first taste of the [[Necris#Technology|Necris vehicles]], specifically, the [[Darkwalker]].

Epic called the release an "Open Beta Demo", and thus it represents just a glimpse of how the game will play. At the release of the demo, Epic promised to fix issues based on user feedback. Many issues that were reported during the beta demo period were fixed or began to be fixed in the first patch.

===Final Demo===
It is possible that Epic might not release an updated demo, as their current plans do not include one at this time. If it does occur it will likely be after Patch 4 at the earliest.

===Release Details===
On November 12th, 2007 (a full seven days prior to the NA release), the German version of the game was released to German retailers. In order to comply with German regulations for public game sales, the game has had blood, gibs and headshots removed from the game. Very little else was changed except for the localization to German.

The US retail release came on November 19th, 2007. This, however, was the "ship" date, and thus many stores did not receive physical product until November 20th, 2007. The Canadian release came on November 20, and stores put it on shelves the very next day. The European release came on November 23, 2007.

===Reception===
Reception to the beta demo was generally positive, with most people agreeing that Epic has "got it right." There is some notable dissension from the crowd who enjoyed UT2003 and UT2004 though, particularly about the removal of dodge-jumping.

Reception to the game on PC has been mostly favorable from the community and reasonably warm from reviewers, with an average score somewhere around 9/10. Warfare in particular has been praised for being a more strategic version of [[Onslaught]]. There were, however, several key complaints about the game.

* Lackluster Single-Player and no Tournament mode
*: While the Single-Player was hyped a lot, it failed to deliver. It was too long and it completely replaced the old Tournament mode. It also had awkward explanations for classic arena gametypes, like '''[[FLaG]]s''' ('''F'''ield '''La'''ttice '''G'''enerators) and that scoring points ran out enemy [[respawner]]s.
* Awkward and simple UI
*: The UI felt very awkward and was very simple compared to previous UT games. There were very little options available for common settings, and overall the UI felt very unfinished. Many settings can be changed via INI, however often these settings do not save, revert, or appear to have no effect. Epic has promised that the UI would receive some improvements from the first few patches.
* Astoundingly bad Server Admin launch
*: Perhaps the worst problem, UT3 being a multiplayer game primarily, are the problems with the server admin tools. The initial release of the Windows dedicated server package was littered with bugs preventing a significant number of hosts from running servers. The Linux dedicated server was released a month after the retail game, on December 18, 2007 which left many hosts without any UT3 package to offer. Web Admin was also missing from both the original release and the first patch, though it was released alongside Patch 2 and has recieved steady updates since.
* Modding support simpified
*: Another key complaint with the game is that much of what used to be done in UnrealScript has been moved to native code, supposedly as a way to improve performance on consoles. This, however, has made it increasingly difficult to develop proper mods and mutators for the game in many instances.

===Collectors Edition===
On October 26, 2007, a limited collector's edition of the game was announced to be released on PC. This version of the game features an exclusive collector's edition tin and a hardcover art book. A bonus DVD is also included, featuring more than 20 hours of Unreal Engine 3 Toolkit video tutorials, containing anti-WarHawK software (disabling video playback in isolated cases), the history of the Unreal Tournament series, and behind-the-scenes footage of the making of Unreal Tournament 3. The Limited Collector's Edition is being sold in the United States, Europe, South Africa, Australia and most other territories.

===Linux===
Epic has promised to release a Linux installer for the game in the future that would work with the standard Windows disc.

===System Requirements===
;Minimum System Requirements: Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista, 2.0+ GHZ Single Core Processor, 512 Mbytes of System RAM, NVIDIA 6200+ or ATI Radeon 9600+ Video Card, 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space
;Recommended System Requirements: 2.4+ GHZ Dual Core Processor, 1 GBytes of System RAM, NVIDIA 7800GTX+ or ATIx13000+ Video Card, 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space

==Game Content==
===Engine===
'''Unreal Tournament 3''' uses [[Unreal Engine 3]].

===Version History===
Currently (August 13th, 2008) the latest official version of UT3 is Version 1.3, AKA Version 3601.

Based on statements Epic have made on the UT3 Mailing Lists, we can safely assume there will be at least one more patch after Patch 3.

===Music===
[[Rom Di Prisco]] and [[Jesper Kyd]] composed the UT3 soundtrack. [[Kevin Riepl]] also had a major hand in music production for the game.

An official game soundtrack was released November 20, 2007. The 2-CD set contains the ingame music, done by Kyd and DiPrisco, which feature a number of remixes from previous Unreal Tournament games.
Not every track are present in the soundtrack. All cutscene music is missing, as are the themes to WAR-Downtown and CTF-Coret are missing, due to those tracks being composed by Kevin Riepl. These tracks are, however, [http://kevinriepl.com/ut.htm available from his site], along with some songs from E3 videos and other early demonstrations.

==Gametypes==
*[[UT3 Single Player|Single Player]]
*: A five act storyline takes the place of the old tournament ladder system from previous games. The campaign contains in-engine rendered cutscenes along with the ability to gather "cards" that can be used to gain certain advantages in maps by completing side objectives. Online four player co-op is available for the campaign.
*[[Deathmatch]]
*: A free for all killing match between multiple players, there are no hoverboards, only one specialized vehicle in specialized maps. The vehicle is the necris darkwalker. Everyone trying to get the most kills.
*[[Team Deathmatch]]
*: A deathmatch (see above) between two teams of players. Both teams trying to get the most kills.
*[[Capture the Flag]]
*: Both teams have to capture the other teams FLaG, or Field Lattice Generator. No vehicles usually symetrical maps.
*[[Vehicle Capture the Flag]]
*: It's CTF with vehicles and the hoverboard.
*[[Warfare]]
*: Both sides have to destroy the other sides core node. Capturing bonus nodes on the way. Has vehicles, hoverboard.
*[[Duel]]
*: Fight between two players or a player and a bot on a deathmatch map.

==Weapons==
*[[Deployables#Unreal Tournament 3|Deployables]]
*: Strategy-themed devices including a Stasis Field, Energy Shield, Spidermine Trap, EMP, and Shaped Charge. All are dropped by the [[Necris]] [[Nightshade]] vehicle except the Shaped Charge, which is carried by hand.
*[[Translocator]]
*: This [[Unreal series]] favorite returns to the [[Capture the Flag]] gametype, except for maps that contain vehicles, in which the hoverboard becomes the secondary method of transportation. There are more charges than UT2004 (7 compared to 6) and they refill faster. (About one per second.) Also, the disc has a flatter trajectory than UT2004 and it fires farther than UT, but not quite as far at UT2004.
*[[Impact Hammer]]
*: This favorite from [[Unreal Tournament]] makes a comeback with an EMP alt-fire that severely damages vehicles and can remove powerups from other players. One of the newer effects of the Impact Hammer is that if you get several kills with it, blood and gore smear over the hammer - eventually making it more red than orange.
*[[Enforcer]]
*: Your starting weapon, the Enforcer is a pistol with rapid fire. Secondary fire shoots a less accurate triple burst. You spawn with one enforcer, though if a player is killed while holding the weapon it is dropped, and picking up a second enforcer allows you to hold two at a time. As a homage to the original Enforcer's alternate fire, they now turn sideways when you are close to an opponent.
*[[Bio Rifle]]
*: This weapon fires a big slow arcing gob of sludge that can instantly take out a heavily armed opponent or stick to floors and walls, then break apart into smaller pieces creating an instant minefield. Players with a large amount of slime attached to them will get rapidly "chipped" in damage, but they will have a second or two to fight back before dying, giving them a chance to take out the enemy who hit them.
*[[Shock Rifle]]
*: A classic weapon, the Shock Rifle fires an instant-hit beam of energy when primary fire is used, and a floating ball of energy when secondary fire is used. Players can also shoot the ball of energy with the beam to create a shock combo, dealing intense amounts of damage in a small radius (enough to kill a player wearing even medium armor). When compared to past titles, the shock balls have been sped up from [[UT2004]] to be more closely match the rate of the original [[UT]]. The primary rate of fire has also been reduced. Shock combos will now suck up ragdolls in a small vortex, and gib them if it does so.
*[[Link Gun]]
*: The link gun shoots small fast moving plasma balls similar to those in the original [[UT]]. The secondary shoots a straight beam of energy that can kill foes, heal vehicles and charge power nodes.
*[[Minigun|Stinger Minigun]]
*: The stinger from the original [[Unreal]] replaces the [[Minigun]] as a fast firing semi-projectile weapon. The gun has two modes, a fast but inaccurate spread of [[Tarydium]] crystal shards that hits instantly, and a slower firing more powerful projectile shot that can also sometimes nail opponents to the wall with the killing blow.
*[[Flak Cannon]]
*: Primary fire for this weapon releases a number of chunks of metal, tearing enemies into shreds. The secondary fire releases an undetonated flak shell that detonates and turns to shrapnel on impact. Compared to past titles, the primary fire bounces more and has a much tighter spread, while the flak shell does not travel as far as it did in [[UT2004]], but it has a much higher upward arc.
*[[Rocket Launcher]]
*: The new rocket launcher combines the instant rockets ability from [[UT2004]], and the grenades from [[UT]]. As in [[UT2004]] primary fire shoots instant rockets, secondary fire loads rockets, and hitting primary while holding secondary will switch to spiral fire mode with a single tap, grenades with two, or back to a spread with three. As in UT2004, rockets can lock onto vehicles. This feature has been visibly improved to help take out vehicles, with much better locking and turning ability.
*[[Sniper Rifle]]
*: The classic sniper rifle has returned to replace the [[Lightning Gun]] as the primary long range weapon. It now features a red-colored tracer, and Bolt Action reloading. It's comparably as strong as UT's Sniper Rifle, however, the rate of fire is not as fast as UT's, but it is much faster than the Sniper Rifle or Lightning Gun in [[UT2004]].
*[[AVRiL|Longbow AVRiL]]
*: The AVRiL is now hand loaded. Its tracking beam can be used to "herd" [[Deployables#Spidermine_Trap|Spider Mines]], much like the alt-fire on the [[Mine Layer]] in [[UT2004]], and the tracking beam is also visible to combat problems where a person could get shot with AVRiLs and not know where the enemy is. If a friendly teammate fires an AVRiL and they have not locked onto a target after a few seconds, it is possible to use your own AVRiL to lock onto a target with the targeting beam, which will actually cause the missile to come flying back towards its new target!
*[[Redeemer]]
*: Acting as the sole super weapon in this title, the redeemer is a rocket-launcher type weapon that fires a small nuclear warhead, capable of killing anybody within range regardless of how they are protected. It takes a few seconds to fully prepare and arm, and it takes up a large portion of your visibility as it is doing so. Primary fire just releases the warhead, while secondary fire gives you the ability to guide it. If you are close to the epicenter, but not directly exposed to damage, you may be knocked off your feet for a moment, as if you had fallen off the hoverboard. As always, a good shot can take the redeemer down, giving both the firing player and the sharpshooter a "Denied!" award.

==Pickups==
===Powerups===
All Powerups are dropped when the player is killed, or if they are knocked off of the player with the Altfire of the Impact Hammer.
*[[Jump Boots]]
*:The Jump Boots return from UT, and are activated by double jumping. It is possible to dodgejump as you could in UT2004, if and only if you have these boots.
*[[Berserk]]
*:Increases weapon rate of fire speed. Combined with the Damage Amplifier, the game will give you a "Juggernaut" award. Some weapons will not fire faster (Stinger Primary), in which case they will be powered up as if they had a Damage Amplifier.
*[[Damage Amplifier]]
*:Gives double damage. Combined with the Berserk, the game will give you a "Juggernaut" award.
*[[Invulnerability]]
*:Grants you total invincibility from all things except for falling off the map or otherwise instant kill zones.
*[[Invisibility]]
*:Makes the player very difficult/impossible to see. Note that on Detail Level 1, players literally <i>ARE</i> completely invisible!

===Health===
*[[Health Vial]] - Small and Green. Heals 5 Health, up to a maximum of 199.
*[[Health Pack]] - Large, White Health Packs that somewhat resemble UT2004's Kegs, but a bit more rounded and without the blue. Heals 25 Health, up to a maximum of 100.
*[[Big Keg O' Health]] - As always, the Keg of health provides an instant +100 Health boost, up to 199 health.

===Armor===
*[[Shield Belt]]
*:The Shield Belt returns, although it provides only 100 points of protection. However, unlike the UT200x shields, the shield belt will absorb 100% of damage, until it is destroyed. If you are wearing a shield belt and in a vehicle when it is destroyed, you will not die instantly - instead, you will be ejected from the vehicle, but it will cost the Shield Belt.
*[[Armor Vest]]
*:The Armor Vest provides 50 points of protection, and absorbs 75% of taken damage.
*[[Thigh Pads]]
*:The Thigh Pads provide 30 points of protection, and absorbs 50% of taken damage.
*[[Helmet]]
*:The Helmet provides 20 points of protection, and absorbs 50% of taken damage. One feature this piece of armor has that is unique, is its ability to block headshots. Assuming you have at least 1 point of Helmet Armor on, if your character suffers a headshot, it will not affect him or damage him at all - however, the helmet will be destroyed.

==Vehicles==
===Axon===
*[[Scorpion]]
*: The primary fire shoots electrified balls that explode on contact; these are particularly effective against other vehicles, but especially against the [[Manta]], [[Viper]], and [[Hoverboard]], upon which they home in on. It also now features a speed boost feature. You can eject from the Scorpion when using it in this manner, and it will blow up and detonate upon impact. If it kills someone due to the explosion, the game will reward you with a "Bullseye!" award.
*[[Hellbender]]
*: The new rendition of the hellbender places the driver in control over the skymine turret, while the rear turret functions differently from [[UT2004]], being more like a standard turret instead of the twin-beam configuration. The rear turret can either be rapidly fired for low damage or given a brief moment to recharge for more power.
*[[Manta]]
*: In addition to a visual update, players will no longer be able to ride on top of the side fans. The Manta is also unable to hit players without crouching down anymore unless the player is on a hoverboard or a slope.
*[[Raptor]]
*: Besides the visual update, the Raptor now seems to be a bit more responsive to maneuvering, and both the rate of fire and locking ability for its missiles have dramatically improved.
*[[Cicada]]
*: Sporting a much bulkier and boxier look, the Cicada is mostly unchanged, however, ascending and descending seems even faster than before. Missiles can still be charged and held with the Altfire.
*[[Paladin]]
*: Visually much improved from it's UT 2004 debut. The shield will no longer remain deployed if it goes through buildings or other level geometry, and it will get dimmer with sustained damage to allow visual estimation of how charged the shield is. Furthermore, using the shield combo to knock away nearby infantry is now instantaneous, as well as will deplete the shield slightly, taking about six combos before the shield is down. It seems to be slightly faster, as well.
*[[SPMA|Hellfire SPMA]]
*: The skymine turret is now controlled by the driver when the paladin is undeployed. There is no longer a passanger/gunner seat. The camera can now crush and kill people if it hits them (or even if they simply run into it!) and it also cannot be launched as far upward - however, to compensate, the bombing is considerably more tightly packed. There is now a visual arc that shows what path the shell will roughly take, assuming that the area is strikeable - an area that cannot be bombed will not show this targeting arc.
*[[Goliath]]
*: The Goliath tank works effectively the same to its UT2004 equivalent. It can climb over small obstacles now, such as other vehicles, and has a much higher upward firing range than its UT2004 counterpart. Its shell range has been decreased somewhat, but they also have less randomness in each shot.
*[[Leviathan]]
*: This mobile fortress still features its devastating main cannon and has added distinct weapon fire to each of its four turrets rather than UT2004's link-like projectile. Each turret also has an alternate shield function. It has considerably more armor and the Ion Cannon takes nearly twice as long to deploy, compared to the UT2004 version. Each turret can be individually destroyed as well.

===Necris===
The Necris have six vehicles at their disposal:
*[[Viper]]
*: A single passenger speeder. The primary gun fires projectiles that bounce off walls, similar to [[Ripper]] projectiles in the original [[UT]]. The vehicle can also spread out like a real life viper to hover high in the sky. Like the Scorpion, it can be used on kamikaze missions, and ram vehicles or targets from the air.
*[[Darkwalker]]
*: This lumbering tripod has tendril-like legs that allow them to climb a wider variety of terrain compared to other vehicles. The primary weapon is an extremely powerful twin laser beam that shoots out a line of plasma. The secondary fire "screams" knocking players off their feet and out of some vehicles (Manta, Viper) or force others out of the way (Scavenger). The vehicle also features a secondary gunner position that functions similar to a Plasma Turret.
*[[Nemesis]]
*: The Nemesis is the Necris answer to the Goliath, and it features an instant hit twin laser beam with zoom. The vehicle also supports different modes. When you crouch down the vehicle moves faster, but it will completely lock your aim forward, with no motion at all except for vehicular manipulation. You can also rise up to attack, but this makes you more of a target. You can also rise up even more to increase the beams' rate of fire... but this makes you nearly immobile, roughly on par with the Leviathan, as well as a very large and obvious target.
*[[Fury]]
*: The Fury is a single-seated flying vehicle that specializes in shooting down other air units. This vehicle can dodge, allowing you to barrel roll out of the way. Primary fire is a hitscan beam attack, similar in nature to the Darkwalker but with less range, and with a lock-on ability once struck as well as a very quick recharge time. Altfire allows a quick burst of speed to get out of the way of missiles or shots heading your way.
*[[Nightshade]]
*: Seemingly the Necris answer to the Axon's Hellbender, this stealth-based vehicle primarily has [[Deployables#Unreal Tournament 3|deployables]] as weapons: [[Deployables#Spidermine_Trap|Spider Mines]], [[Deployables#EMP|EMP Mines]], [[Deployables#Shield_Generator|Shield Generators]], and the [[Deployables#Stasis_Field|Stasis Field]], commonly called the "Slow Volume." Its only other weapon is a short-range beam similar to the Link Gun's, with very limited range that heals vehicles and nodes at a greatly accelerated speed. It can uncloak to go faster, toggled with Altfire.
*[[Scavenger]]
*: This spherical vehicle can extend its legs and pull itself up terrain or retract them and roll on the ground like a ball. It also has a spinning attack that is effective against infantry. A small ball hovers around the vehicle; it is this orb that attacks directly and not the Scavenger, which acts more like a targeting device for this orb to attack. It can move at great speeds while rolling on the ground, but has little control as a result. Ramming into other vehicles at great speed while rolling as a ball damages them considerably.

===Other===
*[[Hoverboard]]
*: Pressing the translocator button will cause the player to hop on a hovering skate-board like device that is used mainly for transportation and is present only in Warfare and Vehicle Capture the Flag maps. The flag or orb may be carried on the Hoverboard, but any amount of damage, even one point, will send the player tumbling (this includes falling damage) in addition to dropping the orb or flag, if they carried it, unless the player is currently wearing a Shieldbelt. A player who falls off will be prone for a moment before being able to get up, which could naturally be fatal if there's opposition in the area. This also extends to grappling onto a vehicle, so if the carrier is shot from high up as they're attached to a raptor or other flying vehicle, it is generally lethal unless the player has lots of armor and health.
*[[Turrets#Unreal Tournament 3|Turrets]]
*: These formerly stationary one-man laser cannons are now equipped with rails, offering the turret limited mobility in order to help prevent attackers from taking advantage of the terrain by obtaining angles of shot that cannot be avoided. New to UT3 are Rocket Turrets.

Originally an [[Axon]] version of the [[Nightshade]], called the [[Stealthbender]], was planned. For some reason (maybe because the bots still don't care whether things are invisible) it was dropped from the game, though.

==Teams==
Teams present in UT3 are the following:
*[[Ronin]]
*: The only survivors of the infamous Twin Souls massacre, bound together out of a sense of duty, honor, and revenge.
*[[Iron Guard]]
*: A group of highly skilled and well trained mercenaries, experts in virtually any combat scenario.
*[[Krall]]
*: The Necris use these formidable reptilian beasts for the pacification of newly conquered planets.
*[[Necris]]
*: The secretive Phayder Corporation developed the Necris process to produce this elite group of assassins.
*[[The Corrupt|Liandri]]
*: Combat modified versions of the Liandri Mining Corporation's world-class security drones.

These teams have probably been in the game at one point, but appear to have been cut:
*[[Thunder Crash]]
*: Even though Malcolm is present in the game, he and his team of experienced fighters do not participate as opponents in the storyline. It is possible that at least Malcolm will return, since there is unused voice clips that include taunts on the [http://unrealtournament3.com official website].
*[[Juggernauts]]
*: These heavily armored, gene-boosted combatants would have returned from [[UT2004]]. They mostly consist of disgruntled prisoners and criminals.
*[[Nakhti]]
*: The Nakhti possess far advanced technology and are well skilled in fighting. They are featured in [[UC2]].

==Maps==
This time around, Epic chose to step away from the wildly different maps seen in previous tournaments, and instead create a few cohesive worlds and tie them together with their level design. 40 maps shipped with the game and 13 of them are [[Warfare]] maps.

==Bonus Content==
Before any official bonus content was released, Epic "cooked" a few user created maps and mutators for use with the PS3 version to give those users something to play with. (All custom content must be created on a PC.)

On the 27th of March 2008, Epic released their first bonus pack, which contains three maps: [[DM-Morbias]], [[CTF-FacingWorlds]] and [[CTF-Searchlight]].

The Xbox 360 version of the game has 2 new characters (Kana of the Twin Souls and Nova of the Liandri) as well as the Bonus Pack maps and 5 exclusive maps, which are: [[WAR-ColdHarbour]], [[DM-KoosBarge]], [[VCTF-Rails]] and 2 "Necrified" versions of VCTF-Suspense and WAR-DownTown.<br>
It is unknown if these exclusives will become available for the other platforms at a later date.

===Community===
Epic planned to use UT3 to bring more and more people into the Unreal community, with strong community integration out of the box. In-game lobbies were planned for Warfare, and game stats integration would have allowed you to find similarly-skilled opponents via the UT3 server browser. However, none of these elements shipped with the final game.

A global rankings system does exist to allow clans and other players to compare scores.

UT3 mod teams will, of course, be able to take advantage of the improvements in Unreal Engine 3's UnrealEd content creation tool, including the new UnrealKismet scripting environment, visual material editor and UnrealCascade particle engine.

PS3 users can now download specially cooked versions of various maps and mutators, provided the author supplies them. However, there are some limitations, and custom sounds or music cannot be supported in PS3 versions of the maps due to a proprietary sound codec being used.

The XBox 360 version does not appear to support custom content, but Epic might try to provide certain user-created content in the future. It does, however, currently have exclusive maps and characters not on the PC or PS3 versions, as well as a split-screen mode.

===Popularity In The PC Market===
Using the data collected from Xfire users, as of June 19th 2008, UT3 is ranked 91st in the list of most played PC games in the world; with a combined total of 97,000 minutes played per day by a total of over 1,500 Xfire users. On 13th October 2007, UT3's rank peaked at 19th place. Due to the constant change in number of players, these values change at peak periods, such as weekends and vacations. Recently UT3's rank usually remains between 90 and 100 in the list of the most played games in the world by Xfire users.

Interestingly, these statistics show that Unreal Tournament 3 is not as popular as its predecessor UT2004; with UT2004, as of June 19th 2008, being ranked the 53rd most played PC game in the world, with over 2,300 players per day playing for a combined total of over 215,000 minutes. Recently, UT2004's rank usually remains between 50th and 60th.

===AI & Voice===
{{cleanup|Section|This is still written in future tense. If you have any information about the AI & voice now, please rewrite this section.}}
UT3 will bring major advances in the artificial intelligence that controls UT bots, as well as the way in which players communicate with them. UT3 players will be able to give bots specific orders using their own voices. Whereas in UT or UT2004 you'd use the voice menu to tell your bots to "attack", you can now give orders like "There's a sniper on the tower, go get him". Bots will also respond to particular questions. For example, if you asked "Is there anyone in the cave?", they might reply "No, the cave is clear".

Apparently, this feature is quite buggy however. It is reported to work best for users who have a clear North American accent.

UT3 bots' personalities will also make them better suited to different in-game tasks.

Unreal Tournament 3

2008-08-29T12:25:48Z

Jamesmarshall: /* Necris */ Akasha link

'''Unreal Tournament 3''', also known as '''UT3''' (previously codenamed '''Envy''' and also formerly named '''Unreal Tournament 2007''', '''UT2007''', or '''UT2k7''') is [[Epic Games]]' sequel to [[Unreal Tournament 2004]]. Published by [[Midway Games]], UT3 is powered by Epic's new [[Unreal Engine 3]]. The game was released in late November 2007 for the PC, December 2007 (NA) and February 2008 (EU) for PS3, and July 2008 for XBox 360. The Mac/Linux versions are currently scheduled for an undetermined date in 2008.

==History==
UT3 was revealed to the world in the May 2005 issue of Computer Gaming World magazine. The first news of it began to appear on or around March 27, 2005. The game was originally codenamed UT "Envy", but later, around May 29, 2005, it was revealed that the name had been changed to '''Unreal Tournament 2007'''. It was not until January 25, 2007 at the Midway Gamer's Day event in Las Vegas that it was revealed that the game's name had been changed to '''Unreal Tournament 3'''. This change was met with great enthusiasm from the Unreal fan base.

Many changes have been made to the originally announced design of the game. For example, a game mode named Conquest that was originally announced was later complemented by [[Unreal Warfare]] and then replaced by it altogether. There was also an Onslaught 2.0 announcement which has also been rolled into the all-encompassing [[Warfare]] gametype.

Unreal Tournament 3 promises a return to the "feel" of the original Unreal Tournament. Epic aims to make the game more in-your-face, fast-paced, and less "floaty". To accomplish this, gravity has been increased and dodge-jumping has been removed. However, dodging, double jumps, and wall dodging will remain with their effect somewhat diminished due to the newly increased gravity. Gameplay in UT3 stresses close combat more than its predecessors UT2003 and UT2004. Many of the weapons are more effective up close. Epic stresses that the aim of UT3 is to create a whole new - and better - game, rather than merely a prettier UT2004. In addition to this, old favorites from the original UT such as jump boots and the ability to feign death returned in UT3.

===Beta Demo===
At Midnight on Friday, October 12th, 2007, Fileplanet began preloading the game to its subscribers.

The demo was unlocked and released on FilePlanet at 12:35 PM on Friday, October 12th. The release was apparently several hours earlier than intended, probably in response to a Norwegian site, "IT Avisen", leaking the demo approximately 5 hours earlier than FilePlanet.

The demo, which is Version 3464 according to the startup logs, comes with 3 maps: [[DM-ShangriLa]], [[DM-HeatRay]], and [[VCTF-Suspense]]. Of note is that DM-HeatRay was the first taste of the [[Necris vehicles]], specifically, the [[Darkwalker]].

Epic called the release an "Open Beta Demo", and thus it represents just a glimpse of how the game will play. At the release of the demo, Epic promised to fix issues based on user feedback. Many issues that were reported during the beta demo period were fixed or began to be fixed in the first patch.

===Final Demo===
It is possible that Epic might not release an updated demo, as their current plans do not include one at this time. If it does occur it will likely be after Patch 4 at the earliest.

===Release Details===
On November 12th, 2007 (a full seven days prior to the NA release), the German version of the game was released to German retailers. In order to comply with German regulations for public game sales, the game has had blood, gibs and headshots removed from the game. Very little else was changed except for the localization to German.

The US retail release came on November 19th, 2007. This, however, was the "ship" date, and thus many stores did not receive physical product until November 20th, 2007. The Canadian release came on November 20, and stores put it on shelves the very next day. The European release came on November 23, 2007.

===Reception===
Reception to the beta demo was generally positive, with most people agreeing that Epic has "got it right." There is some notable dissension from the crowd who enjoyed UT2003 and UT2004 though, particularly about the removal of dodge-jumping.

Reception to the game on PC has been mostly favorable from the community and reasonably warm from reviewers, with an average score somewhere around 9/10. Warfare in particular has been praised for being a more strategic version of [[Onslaught]]. There were, however, several key complaints about the game.

* Lackluster Single-Player and no Tournament mode
*: While the Single-Player was hyped a lot, it failed to deliver. It was too long and it completely replaced the old Tournament mode. It also had awkward explanations for classic arena gametypes, like '''[[FLaG]]s''' ('''F'''ield '''La'''ttice '''G'''enerators) and that scoring points ran out enemy [[respawner]]s.
* Awkward and simple UI
*: The UI felt very awkward and was very simple compared to previous UT games. There were very little options available for common settings, and overall the UI felt very unfinished. Many settings can be changed via INI, however often these settings do not save, revert, or appear to have no effect. Epic has promised that the UI would receive some improvements from the first few patches.
* Astoundingly bad Server Admin launch
*: Perhaps the worst problem, UT3 being a multiplayer game primarily, are the problems with the server admin tools. The initial release of the Windows dedicated server package was littered with bugs preventing a significant number of hosts from running servers. The Linux dedicated server was released a month after the retail game, on December 18, 2007 which left many hosts without any UT3 package to offer. Web Admin was also missing from both the original release and the first patch, though it was released alongside Patch 2 and has recieved steady updates since.
* Modding support simpified
*: Another key complaint with the game is that much of what used to be done in UnrealScript has been moved to native code, supposedly as a way to improve performance on consoles. This, however, has made it increasingly difficult to develop proper mods and mutators for the game in many instances.

===Collectors Edition===
On October 26, 2007, a limited collector's edition of the game was announced to be released on PC. This version of the game features an exclusive collector's edition tin and a hardcover art book. A bonus DVD is also included, featuring more than 20 hours of Unreal Engine 3 Toolkit video tutorials, containing anti-WarHawK software (disabling video playback in isolated cases), the history of the Unreal Tournament series, and behind-the-scenes footage of the making of Unreal Tournament 3. The Limited Collector's Edition is being sold in the United States, Europe, South Africa, Australia and most other territories.

===Linux===
Epic has promised to release a Linux installer for the game in the future that would work with the standard Windows disc.

===System Requirements===
;Minimum System Requirements: Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista, 2.0+ GHZ Single Core Processor, 512 Mbytes of System RAM, NVIDIA 6200+ or ATI Radeon 9600+ Video Card, 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space
;Recommended System Requirements: 2.4+ GHZ Dual Core Processor, 1 GBytes of System RAM, NVIDIA 7800GTX+ or ATIx13000+ Video Card, 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space

==Game Content==
===Engine===
'''Unreal Tournament 3''' uses [[Unreal Engine 3]].

===Version History===
Currently (August 13th, 2008) the latest official version of UT3 is Version 1.3, AKA Version 3601.

Based on statements Epic have made on the UT3 Mailing Lists, we can safely assume there will be at least one more patch after Patch 3.

===Music===
[[Rom Di Prisco]] and [[Jesper Kyd]] composed the UT3 soundtrack. [[Kevin Riepl]] also had a major hand in music production for the game.

An official game soundtrack was released November 20, 2007. The 2-CD set contains the ingame music, done by Kyd and DiPrisco, which feature a number of remixes from previous Unreal Tournament games.
Not every track are present in the soundtrack. All cutscene music is missing, as are the themes to WAR-Downtown and CTF-Coret are missing, due to those tracks being composed by Kevin Riepl. These tracks are, however, [http://kevinriepl.com/ut.htm available from his site], along with some songs from E3 videos and other early demonstrations.

==Gametypes==
*[[UT3 Single Player|Single Player]]
*: A five act storyline takes the place of the old tournament ladder system from previous games. The campaign contains in-engine rendered cutscenes along with the ability to gather "cards" that can be used to gain certain advantages in maps by completing side objectives. Online four player co-op is available for the campaign.
*[[Deathmatch]]
*: A free for all killing match between multiple players, there are no hoverboards, only one specialized vehicle in specialized maps. The vehicle is the necris darkwalker. Everyone trying to get the most kills.
*[[Team Deathmatch]]
*: A deathmatch (see above) between two teams of players. Both teams trying to get the most kills.
*[[Capture the Flag]]
*: Both teams have to capture the other teams FLaG, or Field Lattice Generator. No vehicles usually symetrical maps.
*[[Vehicle Capture the Flag]]
*: It's CTF with vehicles and the hoverboard.
*[[Warfare]]
*: Both sides have to destroy the other sides core node. Capturing bonus nodes on the way. Has vehicles, hoverboard.
*[[Duel]]
*: Fight between two players or a player and a bot on a deathmatch map.

==Weapons==
*[[Deployables#Unreal Tournament 3|Deployables]]
*: Strategy-themed devices including a Stasis Field, Energy Shield, Spidermine Trap, EMP, and Shaped Charge. All are dropped by the [[Necris]] [[Nightshade]] vehicle except the Shaped Charge, which is carried by hand.
*[[Translocator]]
*: This [[Unreal series]] favorite returns to the [[Capture the Flag]] gametype, except for maps that contain vehicles, in which the hoverboard becomes the secondary method of transportation. There are more charges than UT2004 (7 compared to 6) and they refill faster. (About one per second.) Also, the disc has a flatter trajectory than UT2004 and it fires farther than UT, but not quite as far at UT2004.
*[[Impact Hammer]]
*: This favorite from [[Unreal Tournament]] makes a comeback with an EMP alt-fire that severely damages vehicles and can remove powerups from other players. One of the newer effects of the Impact Hammer is that if you get several kills with it, blood and gore smear over the hammer - eventually making it more red than orange.
*[[Enforcer]]
*: Your starting weapon, the Enforcer is a pistol with rapid fire. Secondary fire shoots a less accurate triple burst. You spawn with one enforcer, though if a player is killed while holding the weapon it is dropped, and picking up a second enforcer allows you to hold two at a time. As a homage to the original Enforcer's alternate fire, they now turn sideways when you are close to an opponent.
*[[Bio Rifle]]
*: This weapon fires a big slow arcing gob of sludge that can instantly take out a heavily armed opponent or stick to floors and walls, then break apart into smaller pieces creating an instant minefield. Players with a large amount of slime attached to them will get rapidly "chipped" in damage, but they will have a second or two to fight back before dying, giving them a chance to take out the enemy who hit them.
*[[Shock Rifle]]
*: A classic weapon, the Shock Rifle fires an instant-hit beam of energy when primary fire is used, and a floating ball of energy when secondary fire is used. Players can also shoot the ball of energy with the beam to create a shock combo, dealing intense amounts of damage in a small radius (enough to kill a player wearing even medium armor). When compared to past titles, the shock balls have been sped up from [[UT2004]] to be more closely match the rate of the original [[UT]]. The primary rate of fire has also been reduced. Shock combos will now suck up ragdolls in a small vortex, and gib them if it does so.
*[[Link Gun]]
*: The link gun shoots small fast moving plasma balls similar to those in the original [[UT]]. The secondary shoots a straight beam of energy that can kill foes, heal vehicles and charge power nodes.
*[[Minigun|Stinger Minigun]]
*: The stinger from the original [[Unreal]] replaces the [[Minigun]] as a fast firing semi-projectile weapon. The gun has two modes, a fast but inaccurate spread of [[Tarydium]] crystal shards that hits instantly, and a slower firing more powerful projectile shot that can also sometimes nail opponents to the wall with the killing blow.
*[[Flak Cannon]]
*: Primary fire for this weapon releases a number of chunks of metal, tearing enemies into shreds. The secondary fire releases an undetonated flak shell that detonates and turns to shrapnel on impact. Compared to past titles, the primary fire bounces more and has a much tighter spread, while the flak shell does not travel as far as it did in [[UT2004]], but it has a much higher upward arc.
*[[Rocket Launcher]]
*: The new rocket launcher combines the instant rockets ability from [[UT2004]], and the grenades from [[UT]]. As in [[UT2004]] primary fire shoots instant rockets, secondary fire loads rockets, and hitting primary while holding secondary will switch to spiral fire mode with a single tap, grenades with two, or back to a spread with three. As in UT2004, rockets can lock onto vehicles. This feature has been visibly improved to help take out vehicles, with much better locking and turning ability.
*[[Sniper Rifle]]
*: The classic sniper rifle has returned to replace the [[Lightning Gun]] as the primary long range weapon. It now features a red-colored tracer, and Bolt Action reloading. It's comparably as strong as UT's Sniper Rifle, however, the rate of fire is not as fast as UT's, but it is much faster than the Sniper Rifle or Lightning Gun in [[UT2004]].
*[[AVRiL|Longbow AVRiL]]
*: The AVRiL is now hand loaded. Its tracking beam can be used to "herd" [[Deployables#Spidermine_Trap|Spider Mines]], much like the alt-fire on the [[Mine Layer]] in [[UT2004]], and the tracking beam is also visible to combat problems where a person could get shot with AVRiLs and not know where the enemy is. If a friendly teammate fires an AVRiL and they have not locked onto a target after a few seconds, it is possible to use your own AVRiL to lock onto a target with the targeting beam, which will actually cause the missile to come flying back towards its new target!
*[[Redeemer]]
*: Acting as the sole super weapon in this title, the redeemer is a rocket-launcher type weapon that fires a small nuclear warhead, capable of killing anybody within range regardless of how they are protected. It takes a few seconds to fully prepare and arm, and it takes up a large portion of your visibility as it is doing so. Primary fire just releases the warhead, while secondary fire gives you the ability to guide it. If you are close to the epicenter, but not directly exposed to damage, you may be knocked off your feet for a moment, as if you had fallen off the hoverboard. As always, a good shot can take the redeemer down, giving both the firing player and the sharpshooter a "Denied!" award.

==Pickups==
===Powerups===
All Powerups are dropped when the player is killed, or if they are knocked off of the player with the Altfire of the Impact Hammer.
*[[Jump Boots]]
*:The Jump Boots return from UT, and are activated by double jumping. It is possible to dodgejump as you could in UT2004, if and only if you have these boots.
*[[Berserk]]
*:Increases weapon rate of fire speed. Combined with the Damage Amplifier, the game will give you a "Juggernaut" award. Some weapons will not fire faster (Stinger Primary), in which case they will be powered up as if they had a Damage Amplifier.
*[[Damage Amplifier]]
*:Gives double damage. Combined with the Berserk, the game will give you a "Juggernaut" award.
*[[Invulnerability]]
*:Grants you total invincibility from all things except for falling off the map or otherwise instant kill zones.
*[[Invisibility]]
*:Makes the player very difficult/impossible to see. Note that on Detail Level 1, players literally <i>ARE</i> completely invisible!

===Health===
*[[Health Vial]] - Small and Green. Heals 5 Health, up to a maximum of 199.
*[[Health Pack]] - Large, White Health Packs that somewhat resemble UT2004's Kegs, but a bit more rounded and without the blue. Heals 25 Health, up to a maximum of 100.
*[[Big Keg O' Health]] - As always, the Keg of health provides an instant +100 Health boost, up to 199 health.

===Armor===
*[[Shield Belt]]
*:The Shield Belt returns, although it provides only 100 points of protection. However, unlike the UT200x shields, the shield belt will absorb 100% of damage, until it is destroyed. If you are wearing a shield belt and in a vehicle when it is destroyed, you will not die instantly - instead, you will be ejected from the vehicle, but it will cost the Shield Belt.
*[[Armor Vest]]
*:The Armor Vest provides 50 points of protection, and absorbs 75% of taken damage.
*[[Thigh Pads]]
*:The Thigh Pads provide 30 points of protection, and absorbs 50% of taken damage.
*[[Helmet]]
*:The Helmet provides 20 points of protection, and absorbs 50% of taken damage. One feature this piece of armor has that is unique, is its ability to block headshots. Assuming you have at least 1 point of Helmet Armor on, if your character suffers a headshot, it will not affect him or damage him at all - however, the helmet will be destroyed.

==Vehicles==
===Axon===
*[[Scorpion]]
*: The primary fire shoots electrified balls that explode on contact; these are particularly effective against other vehicles, but especially against the [[Manta]], [[Viper]], and [[Hoverboard]], upon which they home in on. It also now features a speed boost feature. You can eject from the Scorpion when using it in this manner, and it will blow up and detonate upon impact. If it kills someone due to the explosion, the game will reward you with a "Bullseye!" award.
*[[Hellbender]]
*: The new rendition of the hellbender places the driver in control over the skymine turret, while the rear turret functions differently from [[UT2004]], being more like a standard turret instead of the twin-beam configuration. The rear turret can either be rapidly fired for low damage or given a brief moment to recharge for more power.
*[[Manta]]
*: In addition to a visual update, players will no longer be able to ride on top of the side fans. The Manta is also unable to hit players without crouching down anymore unless the player is on a hoverboard or a slope.
*[[Raptor]]
*: Besides the visual update, the Raptor now seems to be a bit more responsive to maneuvering, and both the rate of fire and locking ability for its missiles have dramatically improved.
*[[Cicada]]
*: Sporting a much bulkier and boxier look, the Cicada is mostly unchanged, however, ascending and descending seems even faster than before. Missiles can still be charged and held with the Altfire.
*[[Paladin]]
*: Visually much improved from it's UT 2004 debut. The shield will no longer remain deployed if it goes through buildings or other level geometry, and it will get dimmer with sustained damage to allow visual estimation of how charged the shield is. Furthermore, using the shield combo to knock away nearby infantry is now instantaneous, as well as will deplete the shield slightly, taking about six combos before the shield is down. It seems to be slightly faster, as well.
*[[SPMA|Hellfire SPMA]]
*: The skymine turret is now controlled by the driver when the paladin is undeployed. There is no longer a passanger/gunner seat. The camera can now crush and kill people if it hits them (or even if they simply run into it!) and it also cannot be launched as far upward - however, to compensate, the bombing is considerably more tightly packed. There is now a visual arc that shows what path the shell will roughly take, assuming that the area is strikeable - an area that cannot be bombed will not show this targeting arc.
*[[Goliath]]
*: The Goliath tank works effectively the same to its UT2004 equivalent. It can climb over small obstacles now, such as other vehicles, and has a much higher upward firing range than its UT2004 counterpart. Its shell range has been decreased somewhat, but they also have less randomness in each shot.
*[[Leviathan]]
*: This mobile fortress still features its devastating main cannon and has added distinct weapon fire to each of its four turrets rather than UT2004's link-like projectile. Each turret also has an alternate shield function. It has considerably more armor and the Ion Cannon takes nearly twice as long to deploy, compared to the UT2004 version. Each turret can be individually destroyed as well.

===Necris===
The Necris have six vehicles at their disposal:
*[[Viper]]
*: A single passenger speeder. The primary gun fires projectiles that bounce off walls, similar to [[Ripper]] projectiles in the original [[UT]]. The vehicle can also spread out like a real life viper to hover high in the sky. Like the Scorpion, it can be used on kamikaze missions, and ram vehicles or targets from the air.
*[[Darkwalker]]
*: This lumbering tripod has tendril-like legs that allow them to climb a wider variety of terrain compared to other vehicles. The primary weapon is an extremely powerful twin laser beam that shoots out a line of plasma. The secondary fire "screams" knocking players off their feet and out of some vehicles (Manta, Viper) or force others out of the way (Scavenger). The vehicle also features a secondary gunner position that functions similar to a Plasma Turret.
*[[Nemesis]]
*: The Nemesis is the Necris answer to the Goliath, and it features an instant hit twin laser beam with zoom. The vehicle also supports different modes. When you crouch down the vehicle moves faster, but it will completely lock your aim forward, with no motion at all except for vehicular manipulation. You can also rise up to attack, but this makes you more of a target. You can also rise up even more to increase the beams' rate of fire... but this makes you nearly immobile, roughly on par with the Leviathan, as well as a very large and obvious target.
*[[Fury]]
*: The Fury is a single-seated flying vehicle that specializes in shooting down other air units. This vehicle can dodge, allowing you to barrel roll out of the way. Primary fire is a hitscan beam attack, similar in nature to the Darkwalker but with less range, and with a lock-on ability once struck as well as a very quick recharge time. Altfire allows a quick burst of speed to get out of the way of missiles or shots heading your way.
*[[Nightshade]]
*: Seemingly the Necris answer to the Axon's Hellbender, this stealth-based vehicle primarily has [[Deployables#Unreal Tournament 3|deployables]] as weapons: [[Deployables#Spidermine_Trap|Spider Mines]], [[Deployables#EMP|EMP Mines]], [[Deployables#Shield_Generator|Shield Generators]], and the [[Deployables#Stasis_Field|Stasis Field]], commonly called the "Slow Volume." Its only other weapon is a short-range beam similar to the Link Gun's, with very limited range that heals vehicles and nodes at a greatly accelerated speed. It can uncloak to go faster, toggled with Altfire.
*[[Scavenger]]
*: This spherical vehicle can extend its legs and pull itself up terrain or retract them and roll on the ground like a ball. It also has a spinning attack that is effective against infantry. A small ball hovers around the vehicle; it is this orb that attacks directly and not the Scavenger, which acts more like a targeting device for this orb to attack. It can move at great speeds while rolling on the ground, but has little control as a result. Ramming into other vehicles at great speed while rolling as a ball damages them considerably.

===Other===
*[[Hoverboard]]
*: Pressing the translocator button will cause the player to hop on a hovering skate-board like device that is used mainly for transportation and is present only in Warfare and Vehicle Capture the Flag maps. The flag or orb may be carried on the Hoverboard, but any amount of damage, even one point, will send the player tumbling (this includes falling damage) in addition to dropping the orb or flag, if they carried it, unless the player is currently wearing a Shieldbelt. A player who falls off will be prone for a moment before being able to get up, which could naturally be fatal if there's opposition in the area. This also extends to grappling onto a vehicle, so if the carrier is shot from high up as they're attached to a raptor or other flying vehicle, it is generally lethal unless the player has lots of armor and health.
*[[Turrets#Unreal Tournament 3|Turrets]]
*: These formerly stationary one-man laser cannons are now equipped with rails, offering the turret limited mobility in order to help prevent attackers from taking advantage of the terrain by obtaining angles of shot that cannot be avoided. New to UT3 are Rocket Turrets.

Originally an [[Axon]] version of the [[Nightshade]], called the [[Stealthbender]], was planned. For some reason (maybe because the bots still don't care whether things are invisible) it was dropped from the game, though.

==Teams==
Teams present in UT3 are the following:
*[[Ronin]]
*: The only survivors of the infamous Twin Souls massacre, bound together out of a sense of duty, honor, and revenge.
*[[Iron Guard]]
*: A group of highly skilled and well trained mercenaries, experts in virtually any combat scenario.
*[[Krall]]
*: The Necris use these formidable reptilian beasts for the pacification of newly conquered planets.
*[[Necris]]
*: The secretive Phayder Corporation developed the Necris process to produce this elite group of assassins.
*[[The Corrupt|Liandri]]
*: Combat modified versions of the Liandri Mining Corporation's world-class security drones.

These teams have probably been in the game at one point, but appear to have been cut:
*[[Thunder Crash]]
*: Even though Malcolm is present in the game, he and his team of experienced fighters do not participate as opponents in the storyline. It is possible that at least Malcolm will return, since there is unused voice clips that include taunts on the [http://unrealtournament3.com official website].
*[[Juggernauts]]
*: These heavily armored, gene-boosted combatants would have returned from [[UT2004]]. They mostly consist of disgruntled prisoners and criminals.
*[[Nakhti]]
*: The Nakhti possess far advanced technology and are well skilled in fighting. They are featured in [[UC2]].

==Maps==
This time around, Epic chose to step away from the wildly different maps seen in previous tournaments, and instead create a few cohesive worlds and tie them together with their level design. 40 maps shipped with the game and 13 of them are [[Warfare]] maps.

==Bonus Content==
Before any official bonus content was released, Epic "cooked" a few user created maps and mutators for use with the PS3 version to give those users something to play with. (All custom content must be created on a PC.)

On the 27th of March 2008, Epic released their first bonus pack, which contains three maps: [[DM-Morbias]], [[CTF-FacingWorlds]] and [[CTF-Searchlight]].

The Xbox 360 version of the game has 2 new characters (Kana of the Twin Souls and Nova of the Liandri) as well as the Bonus Pack maps and 5 exclusive maps, which are: [[WAR-ColdHarbour]], [[DM-KoosBarge]], [[VCTF-Rails]] and 2 "Necrified" versions of VCTF-Suspense and WAR-DownTown.<br>
It is unknown if these exclusives will become available for the other platforms at a later date.

===Community===
Epic planned to use UT3 to bring more and more people into the Unreal community, with strong community integration out of the box. In-game lobbies were planned for Warfare, and game stats integration would have allowed you to find similarly-skilled opponents via the UT3 server browser. However, none of these elements shipped with the final game.

A global rankings system does exist to allow clans and other players to compare scores.

UT3 mod teams will, of course, be able to take advantage of the improvements in Unreal Engine 3's UnrealEd content creation tool, including the new UnrealKismet scripting environment, visual material editor and UnrealCascade particle engine.

PS3 users can now download specially cooked versions of various maps and mutators, provided the author supplies them. However, there are some limitations, and custom sounds or music cannot be supported in PS3 versions of the maps due to a proprietary sound codec being used.

The XBox 360 version does not appear to support custom content, but Epic might try to provide certain user-created content in the future. It does, however, currently have exclusive maps and characters not on the PC or PS3 versions, as well as a split-screen mode.

===Popularity In The PC Market===
Using the data collected from Xfire users, as of June 19th 2008, UT3 is ranked 91st in the list of most played PC games in the world; with a combined total of 97,000 minutes played per day by a total of over 1,500 Xfire users. On 13th October 2007, UT3's rank peaked at 19th place. Due to the constant change in number of players, these values change at peak periods, such as weekends and vacations. Recently UT3's rank usually remains between 90 and 100 in the list of the most played games in the world by Xfire users.

Interestingly, these statistics show that Unreal Tournament 3 is not as popular as its predecessor UT2004; with UT2004, as of June 19th 2008, being ranked the 53rd most played PC game in the world, with over 2,300 players per day playing for a combined total of over 215,000 minutes. Recently, UT2004's rank usually remains between 50th and 60th.

===AI & Voice===
{{cleanup|Section|This is still written in future tense. If you have any information about the AI & voice now, please rewrite this section.}}
UT3 will bring major advances in the artificial intelligence that controls UT bots, as well as the way in which players communicate with them. UT3 players will be able to give bots specific orders using their own voices. Whereas in UT or UT2004 you'd use the voice menu to tell your bots to "attack", you can now give orders like "There's a sniper on the tower, go get him". Bots will also respond to particular questions. For example, if you asked "Is there anyone in the cave?", they might reply "No, the cave is clear".

Apparently, this feature is quite buggy however. It is reported to work best for users who have a clear North American accent.

UT3 bots' personalities will also make them better suited to different in-game tasks.

Unreal Tournament 3

Jamesmarshall: /* Liandri / The Corrupt */ Matrix link

'''Unreal Tournament 3''', also known as '''UT3''' (previously codenamed '''Envy''' and also formerly named '''Unreal Tournament 2007''', '''UT2007''', or '''UT2k7''') is [[Epic Games]]' sequel to [[Unreal Tournament 2004]]. Published by [[Midway Games]], UT3 is powered by Epic's new [[Unreal Engine 3]]. The game was released in late November 2007 for the PC, December 2007 (NA) and February 2008 (EU) for PS3, and July 2008 for XBox 360. The Mac/Linux versions are currently scheduled for an undetermined date in 2008.

==History==
UT3 was revealed to the world in the May 2005 issue of Computer Gaming World magazine. The first news of it began to appear on or around March 27, 2005. The game was originally codenamed UT "Envy", but later, around May 29, 2005, it was revealed that the name had been changed to '''Unreal Tournament 2007'''. It was not until January 25, 2007 at the Midway Gamer's Day event in Las Vegas that it was revealed that the game's name had been changed to '''Unreal Tournament 3'''. This change was met with great enthusiasm from the Unreal fan base.

Many changes have been made to the originally announced design of the game. For example, a game mode named Conquest that was originally announced was later complemented by [[Unreal Warfare]] and then replaced by it altogether. There was also an Onslaught 2.0 announcement which has also been rolled into the all-encompassing [[Warfare]] gametype.

Unreal Tournament 3 promises a return to the "feel" of the original Unreal Tournament. Epic aims to make the game more in-your-face, fast-paced, and less "floaty". To accomplish this, gravity has been increased and dodge-jumping has been removed. However, dodging, double jumps, and wall dodging will remain with their effect somewhat diminished due to the newly increased gravity. Gameplay in UT3 stresses close combat more than its predecessors UT2003 and UT2004. Many of the weapons are more effective up close. Epic stresses that the aim of UT3 is to create a whole new - and better - game, rather than merely a prettier UT2004. In addition to this, old favorites from the original UT such as jump boots and the ability to feign death returned in UT3.

===Beta Demo===
At Midnight on Friday, October 12th, 2007, Fileplanet began preloading the game to its subscribers.

The demo was unlocked and released on FilePlanet at 12:35 PM on Friday, October 12th. The release was apparently several hours earlier than intended, probably in response to a Norwegian site, "IT Avisen", leaking the demo approximately 5 hours earlier than FilePlanet.

The demo, which is Version 3464 according to the startup logs, comes with 3 maps: [[DM-ShangriLa]], [[DM-HeatRay]], and [[VCTF-Suspense]]. Of note is that DM-HeatRay was the first taste of the [[Necris vehicles]], specifically, the [[Darkwalker]].

Epic called the release an "Open Beta Demo", and thus it represents just a glimpse of how the game will play. At the release of the demo, Epic promised to fix issues based on user feedback. Many issues that were reported during the beta demo period were fixed or began to be fixed in the first patch.

===Final Demo===
It is possible that Epic might not release an updated demo, as their current plans do not include one at this time. If it does occur it will likely be after Patch 4 at the earliest.

===Release Details===
On November 12th, 2007 (a full seven days prior to the NA release), the German version of the game was released to German retailers. In order to comply with German regulations for public game sales, the game has had blood, gibs and headshots removed from the game. Very little else was changed except for the localization to German.

The US retail release came on November 19th, 2007. This, however, was the "ship" date, and thus many stores did not receive physical product until November 20th, 2007. The Canadian release came on November 20, and stores put it on shelves the very next day. The European release came on November 23, 2007.

===Reception===
Reception to the beta demo was generally positive, with most people agreeing that Epic has "got it right." There is some notable dissension from the crowd who enjoyed UT2003 and UT2004 though, particularly about the removal of dodge-jumping.

Reception to the game on PC has been mostly favorable from the community and reasonably warm from reviewers, with an average score somewhere around 9/10. Warfare in particular has been praised for being a more strategic version of [[Onslaught]]. There were, however, several key complaints about the game.

* Lackluster Single-Player and no Tournament mode
*: While the Single-Player was hyped a lot, it failed to deliver. It was too long and it completely replaced the old Tournament mode. It also had awkward explanations for classic arena gametypes, like '''[[FLaG]]s''' ('''F'''ield '''La'''ttice '''G'''enerators) and that scoring points ran out enemy [[respawner]]s.
* Awkward and simple UI
*: The UI felt very awkward and was very simple compared to previous UT games. There were very little options available for common settings, and overall the UI felt very unfinished. Many settings can be changed via INI, however often these settings do not save, revert, or appear to have no effect. Epic has promised that the UI would receive some improvements from the first few patches.
* Astoundingly bad Server Admin launch
*: Perhaps the worst problem, UT3 being a multiplayer game primarily, are the problems with the server admin tools. The initial release of the Windows dedicated server package was littered with bugs preventing a significant number of hosts from running servers. The Linux dedicated server was released a month after the retail game, on December 18, 2007 which left many hosts without any UT3 package to offer. Web Admin was also missing from both the original release and the first patch, though it was released alongside Patch 2 and has recieved steady updates since.
* Modding support simpified
*: Another key complaint with the game is that much of what used to be done in UnrealScript has been moved to native code, supposedly as a way to improve performance on consoles. This, however, has made it increasingly difficult to develop proper mods and mutators for the game in many instances.

===Collectors Edition===
On October 26, 2007, a limited collector's edition of the game was announced to be released on PC. This version of the game features an exclusive collector's edition tin and a hardcover art book. A bonus DVD is also included, featuring more than 20 hours of Unreal Engine 3 Toolkit video tutorials, containing anti-WarHawK software (disabling video playback in isolated cases), the history of the Unreal Tournament series, and behind-the-scenes footage of the making of Unreal Tournament 3. The Limited Collector's Edition is being sold in the United States, Europe, South Africa, Australia and most other territories.

===Linux===
Epic has promised to release a Linux installer for the game in the future that would work with the standard Windows disc.

===System Requirements===
;Minimum System Requirements: Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista, 2.0+ GHZ Single Core Processor, 512 Mbytes of System RAM, NVIDIA 6200+ or ATI Radeon 9600+ Video Card, 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space
;Recommended System Requirements: 2.4+ GHZ Dual Core Processor, 1 GBytes of System RAM, NVIDIA 7800GTX+ or ATIx13000+ Video Card, 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space

==Game Content==
===Engine===
'''Unreal Tournament 3''' uses [[Unreal Engine 3]].

===Version History===
Currently (August 13th, 2008) the latest official version of UT3 is Version 1.3, AKA Version 3601.

Based on statements Epic have made on the UT3 Mailing Lists, we can safely assume there will be at least one more patch after Patch 3.

===Music===
[[Rom Di Prisco]] and [[Jesper Kyd]] composed the UT3 soundtrack. [[Kevin Riepl]] also had a major hand in music production for the game.

An official game soundtrack was released November 20, 2007. The 2-CD set contains the ingame music, done by Kyd and DiPrisco, which feature a number of remixes from previous Unreal Tournament games.
Not every track are present in the soundtrack. All cutscene music is missing, as are the themes to WAR-Downtown and CTF-Coret are missing, due to those tracks being composed by Kevin Riepl. These tracks are, however, [http://kevinriepl.com/ut.htm available from his site], along with some songs from E3 videos and other early demonstrations.

==Gametypes==
*[[UT3 Single Player|Single Player]]
*: A five act storyline takes the place of the old tournament ladder system from previous games. The campaign contains in-engine rendered cutscenes along with the ability to gather "cards" that can be used to gain certain advantages in maps by completing side objectives. Online four player co-op is available for the campaign.
*[[Deathmatch]]
*: A free for all killing match between multiple players, there are no hoverboards, only one specialized vehicle in specialized maps. The vehicle is the necris darkwalker. Everyone trying to get the most kills.
*[[Team Deathmatch]]
*: A deathmatch (see above) between two teams of players. Both teams trying to get the most kills.
*[[Capture the Flag]]
*: Both teams have to capture the other teams FLaG, or Field Lattice Generator. No vehicles usually symetrical maps.
*[[Vehicle Capture the Flag]]
*: It's CTF with vehicles and the hoverboard.
*[[Warfare]]
*: Both sides have to destroy the other sides core node. Capturing bonus nodes on the way. Has vehicles, hoverboard.
*[[Duel]]
*: Fight between two players or a player and a bot on a deathmatch map.

==Weapons==
*[[Deployables#Unreal Tournament 3|Deployables]]
*: Strategy-themed devices including a Stasis Field, Energy Shield, Spidermine Trap, EMP, and Shaped Charge. All are dropped by the [[Necris]] [[Nightshade]] vehicle except the Shaped Charge, which is carried by hand.
*[[Translocator]]
*: This [[Unreal series]] favorite returns to the [[Capture the Flag]] gametype, except for maps that contain vehicles, in which the hoverboard becomes the secondary method of transportation. There are more charges than UT2004 (7 compared to 6) and they refill faster. (About one per second.) Also, the disc has a flatter trajectory than UT2004 and it fires farther than UT, but not quite as far at UT2004.
*[[Impact Hammer]]
*: This favorite from [[Unreal Tournament]] makes a comeback with an EMP alt-fire that severely damages vehicles and can remove powerups from other players. One of the newer effects of the Impact Hammer is that if you get several kills with it, blood and gore smear over the hammer - eventually making it more red than orange.
*[[Enforcer]]
*: Your starting weapon, the Enforcer is a pistol with rapid fire. Secondary fire shoots a less accurate triple burst. You spawn with one enforcer, though if a player is killed while holding the weapon it is dropped, and picking up a second enforcer allows you to hold two at a time. As a homage to the original Enforcer's alternate fire, they now turn sideways when you are close to an opponent.
*[[Bio Rifle]]
*: This weapon fires a big slow arcing gob of sludge that can instantly take out a heavily armed opponent or stick to floors and walls, then break apart into smaller pieces creating an instant minefield. Players with a large amount of slime attached to them will get rapidly "chipped" in damage, but they will have a second or two to fight back before dying, giving them a chance to take out the enemy who hit them.
*[[Shock Rifle]]
*: A classic weapon, the Shock Rifle fires an instant-hit beam of energy when primary fire is used, and a floating ball of energy when secondary fire is used. Players can also shoot the ball of energy with the beam to create a shock combo, dealing intense amounts of damage in a small radius (enough to kill a player wearing even medium armor). When compared to past titles, the shock balls have been sped up from [[UT2004]] to be more closely match the rate of the original [[UT]]. The primary rate of fire has also been reduced. Shock combos will now suck up ragdolls in a small vortex, and gib them if it does so.
*[[Link Gun]]
*: The link gun shoots small fast moving plasma balls similar to those in the original [[UT]]. The secondary shoots a straight beam of energy that can kill foes, heal vehicles and charge power nodes.
*[[Minigun|Stinger Minigun]]
*: The stinger from the original [[Unreal]] replaces the [[Minigun]] as a fast firing semi-projectile weapon. The gun has two modes, a fast but inaccurate spread of [[Tarydium]] crystal shards that hits instantly, and a slower firing more powerful projectile shot that can also sometimes nail opponents to the wall with the killing blow.
*[[Flak Cannon]]
*: Primary fire for this weapon releases a number of chunks of metal, tearing enemies into shreds. The secondary fire releases an undetonated flak shell that detonates and turns to shrapnel on impact. Compared to past titles, the primary fire bounces more and has a much tighter spread, while the flak shell does not travel as far as it did in [[UT2004]], but it has a much higher upward arc.
*[[Rocket Launcher]]
*: The new rocket launcher combines the instant rockets ability from [[UT2004]], and the grenades from [[UT]]. As in [[UT2004]] primary fire shoots instant rockets, secondary fire loads rockets, and hitting primary while holding secondary will switch to spiral fire mode with a single tap, grenades with two, or back to a spread with three. As in UT2004, rockets can lock onto vehicles. This feature has been visibly improved to help take out vehicles, with much better locking and turning ability.
*[[Sniper Rifle]]
*: The classic sniper rifle has returned to replace the [[Lightning Gun]] as the primary long range weapon. It now features a red-colored tracer, and Bolt Action reloading. It's comparably as strong as UT's Sniper Rifle, however, the rate of fire is not as fast as UT's, but it is much faster than the Sniper Rifle or Lightning Gun in [[UT2004]].
*[[AVRiL|Longbow AVRiL]]
*: The AVRiL is now hand loaded. Its tracking beam can be used to "herd" [[Deployables#Spidermine_Trap|Spider Mines]], much like the alt-fire on the [[Mine Layer]] in [[UT2004]], and the tracking beam is also visible to combat problems where a person could get shot with AVRiLs and not know where the enemy is. If a friendly teammate fires an AVRiL and they have not locked onto a target after a few seconds, it is possible to use your own AVRiL to lock onto a target with the targeting beam, which will actually cause the missile to come flying back towards its new target!
*[[Redeemer]]
*: Acting as the sole super weapon in this title, the redeemer is a rocket-launcher type weapon that fires a small nuclear warhead, capable of killing anybody within range regardless of how they are protected. It takes a few seconds to fully prepare and arm, and it takes up a large portion of your visibility as it is doing so. Primary fire just releases the warhead, while secondary fire gives you the ability to guide it. If you are close to the epicenter, but not directly exposed to damage, you may be knocked off your feet for a moment, as if you had fallen off the hoverboard. As always, a good shot can take the redeemer down, giving both the firing player and the sharpshooter a "Denied!" award.

==Pickups==
===Powerups===
All Powerups are dropped when the player is killed, or if they are knocked off of the player with the Altfire of the Impact Hammer.
*[[Jump Boots]]
*:The Jump Boots return from UT, and are activated by double jumping. It is possible to dodgejump as you could in UT2004, if and only if you have these boots.
*[[Berserk]]
*:Increases weapon rate of fire speed. Combined with the Damage Amplifier, the game will give you a "Juggernaut" award. Some weapons will not fire faster (Stinger Primary), in which case they will be powered up as if they had a Damage Amplifier.
*[[Damage Amplifier]]
*:Gives double damage. Combined with the Berserk, the game will give you a "Juggernaut" award.
*[[Invulnerability]]
*:Grants you total invincibility from all things except for falling off the map or otherwise instant kill zones.
*[[Invisibility]]
*:Makes the player very difficult/impossible to see. Note that on Detail Level 1, players literally <i>ARE</i> completely invisible!

===Health===
*[[Health Vial]] - Small and Green. Heals 5 Health, up to a maximum of 199.
*[[Health Pack]] - Large, White Health Packs that somewhat resemble UT2004's Kegs, but a bit more rounded and without the blue. Heals 25 Health, up to a maximum of 100.
*[[Big Keg O' Health]] - As always, the Keg of health provides an instant +100 Health boost, up to 199 health.

===Armor===
*[[Shield Belt]]
*:The Shield Belt returns, although it provides only 100 points of protection. However, unlike the UT200x shields, the shield belt will absorb 100% of damage, until it is destroyed. If you are wearing a shield belt and in a vehicle when it is destroyed, you will not die instantly - instead, you will be ejected from the vehicle, but it will cost the Shield Belt.
*[[Armor Vest]]
*:The Armor Vest provides 50 points of protection, and absorbs 75% of taken damage.
*[[Thigh Pads]]
*:The Thigh Pads provide 30 points of protection, and absorbs 50% of taken damage.
*[[Helmet]]
*:The Helmet provides 20 points of protection, and absorbs 50% of taken damage. One feature this piece of armor has that is unique, is its ability to block headshots. Assuming you have at least 1 point of Helmet Armor on, if your character suffers a headshot, it will not affect him or damage him at all - however, the helmet will be destroyed.

==Vehicles==
===Axon===
*[[Scorpion]]
*: The primary fire shoots electrified balls that explode on contact; these are particularly effective against other vehicles, but especially against the [[Manta]], [[Viper]], and [[Hoverboard]], upon which they home in on. It also now features a speed boost feature. You can eject from the Scorpion when using it in this manner, and it will blow up and detonate upon impact. If it kills someone due to the explosion, the game will reward you with a "Bullseye!" award.
*[[Hellbender]]
*: The new rendition of the hellbender places the driver in control over the skymine turret, while the rear turret functions differently from [[UT2004]], being more like a standard turret instead of the twin-beam configuration. The rear turret can either be rapidly fired for low damage or given a brief moment to recharge for more power.
*[[Manta]]
*: In addition to a visual update, players will no longer be able to ride on top of the side fans. The Manta is also unable to hit players without crouching down anymore unless the player is on a hoverboard or a slope.
*[[Raptor]]
*: Besides the visual update, the Raptor now seems to be a bit more responsive to maneuvering, and both the rate of fire and locking ability for its missiles have dramatically improved.
*[[Cicada]]
*: Sporting a much bulkier and boxier look, the Cicada is mostly unchanged, however, ascending and descending seems even faster than before. Missiles can still be charged and held with the Altfire.
*[[Paladin]]
*: Visually much improved from it's UT 2004 debut. The shield will no longer remain deployed if it goes through buildings or other level geometry, and it will get dimmer with sustained damage to allow visual estimation of how charged the shield is. Furthermore, using the shield combo to knock away nearby infantry is now instantaneous, as well as will deplete the shield slightly, taking about six combos before the shield is down. It seems to be slightly faster, as well.
*[[SPMA|Hellfire SPMA]]
*: The skymine turret is now controlled by the driver when the paladin is undeployed. There is no longer a passanger/gunner seat. The camera can now crush and kill people if it hits them (or even if they simply run into it!) and it also cannot be launched as far upward - however, to compensate, the bombing is considerably more tightly packed. There is now a visual arc that shows what path the shell will roughly take, assuming that the area is strikeable - an area that cannot be bombed will not show this targeting arc.
*[[Goliath]]
*: The Goliath tank works effectively the same to its UT2004 equivalent. It can climb over small obstacles now, such as other vehicles, and has a much higher upward firing range than its UT2004 counterpart. Its shell range has been decreased somewhat, but they also have less randomness in each shot.
*[[Leviathan]]
*: This mobile fortress still features its devastating main cannon and has added distinct weapon fire to each of its four turrets rather than UT2004's link-like projectile. Each turret also has an alternate shield function. It has considerably more armor and the Ion Cannon takes nearly twice as long to deploy, compared to the UT2004 version. Each turret can be individually destroyed as well.

===Necris===
The Necris have six vehicles at their disposal:
*[[Viper]]
*: A single passenger speeder. The primary gun fires projectiles that bounce off walls, similar to [[Ripper]] projectiles in the original [[UT]]. The vehicle can also spread out like a real life viper to hover high in the sky. Like the Scorpion, it can be used on kamikaze missions, and ram vehicles or targets from the air.
*[[Darkwalker]]
*: This lumbering tripod has tendril-like legs that allow them to climb a wider variety of terrain compared to other vehicles. The primary weapon is an extremely powerful twin laser beam that shoots out a line of plasma. The secondary fire "screams" knocking players off their feet and out of some vehicles (Manta, Viper) or force others out of the way (Scavenger). The vehicle also features a secondary gunner position that functions similar to a Plasma Turret.
*[[Nemesis]]
*: The Nemesis is the Necris answer to the Goliath, and it features an instant hit twin laser beam with zoom. The vehicle also supports different modes. When you crouch down the vehicle moves faster, but it will completely lock your aim forward, with no motion at all except for vehicular manipulation. You can also rise up to attack, but this makes you more of a target. You can also rise up even more to increase the beams' rate of fire... but this makes you nearly immobile, roughly on par with the Leviathan, as well as a very large and obvious target.
*[[Fury]]
*: The Fury is a single-seated flying vehicle that specializes in shooting down other air units. This vehicle can dodge, allowing you to barrel roll out of the way. Primary fire is a hitscan beam attack, similar in nature to the Darkwalker but with less range, and with a lock-on ability once struck as well as a very quick recharge time. Altfire allows a quick burst of speed to get out of the way of missiles or shots heading your way.
*[[Nightshade]]
*: Seemingly the Necris answer to the Axon's Hellbender, this stealth-based vehicle primarily has [[Deployables#Unreal Tournament 3|deployables]] as weapons: [[Deployables#Spidermine_Trap|Spider Mines]], [[Deployables#EMP|EMP Mines]], [[Deployables#Shield_Generator|Shield Generators]], and the [[Deployables#Stasis_Field|Stasis Field]], commonly called the "Slow Volume." Its only other weapon is a short-range beam similar to the Link Gun's, with very limited range that heals vehicles and nodes at a greatly accelerated speed. It can uncloak to go faster, toggled with Altfire.
*[[Scavenger]]
*: This spherical vehicle can extend its legs and pull itself up terrain or retract them and roll on the ground like a ball. It also has a spinning attack that is effective against infantry. A small ball hovers around the vehicle; it is this orb that attacks directly and not the Scavenger, which acts more like a targeting device for this orb to attack. It can move at great speeds while rolling on the ground, but has little control as a result. Ramming into other vehicles at great speed while rolling as a ball damages them considerably.

===Other===
*[[Hoverboard]]
*: Pressing the translocator button will cause the player to hop on a hovering skate-board like device that is used mainly for transportation and is present only in Warfare and Vehicle Capture the Flag maps. The flag or orb may be carried on the Hoverboard, but any amount of damage, even one point, will send the player tumbling (this includes falling damage) in addition to dropping the orb or flag, if they carried it, unless the player is currently wearing a Shieldbelt. A player who falls off will be prone for a moment before being able to get up, which could naturally be fatal if there's opposition in the area. This also extends to grappling onto a vehicle, so if the carrier is shot from high up as they're attached to a raptor or other flying vehicle, it is generally lethal unless the player has lots of armor and health.
*[[Turrets#Unreal Tournament 3|Turrets]]
*: These formerly stationary one-man laser cannons are now equipped with rails, offering the turret limited mobility in order to help prevent attackers from taking advantage of the terrain by obtaining angles of shot that cannot be avoided. New to UT3 are Rocket Turrets.

Originally an [[Axon]] version of the [[Nightshade]], called the [[Stealthbender]], was planned. For some reason (maybe because the bots still don't care whether things are invisible) it was dropped from the game, though.

==Teams==
Teams present in UT3 are the following:
*[[Ronin]]
*: The only survivors of the infamous Twin Souls massacre, bound together out of a sense of duty, honor, and revenge.
*[[Iron Guard]]
*: A group of highly skilled and well trained mercenaries, experts in virtually any combat scenario.
*[[Krall]]
*: The Necris use these formidable reptilian beasts for the pacification of newly conquered planets.
*[[Necris]]
*: The secretive Phayder Corporation developed the Necris process to produce this elite group of assassins.
*[[The Corrupt|Liandri]]
*: Combat modified versions of the Liandri Mining Corporation's world-class security drones.

These teams have probably been in the game at one point, but appear to have been cut:
*[[Thunder Crash]]
*: Even though Malcolm is present in the game, he and his team of experienced fighters do not participate as opponents in the storyline. It is possible that at least Malcolm will return, since there is unused voice clips that include taunts on the [http://unrealtournament3.com official website].
*[[Juggernauts]]
*: These heavily armored, gene-boosted combatants would have returned from [[UT2004]]. They mostly consist of disgruntled prisoners and criminals.
*[[Nakhti]]
*: The Nakhti possess far advanced technology and are well skilled in fighting. They are featured in [[UC2]].

==Maps==
This time around, Epic chose to step away from the wildly different maps seen in previous tournaments, and instead create a few cohesive worlds and tie them together with their level design. 40 maps shipped with the game and 13 of them are [[Warfare]] maps.

==Bonus Content==
Before any official bonus content was released, Epic "cooked" a few user created maps and mutators for use with the PS3 version to give those users something to play with. (All custom content must be created on a PC.)

On the 27th of March 2008, Epic released their first bonus pack, which contains three maps: [[DM-Morbias]], [[CTF-FacingWorlds]] and [[CTF-Searchlight]].

The Xbox 360 version of the game has 2 new characters (Kana of the Twin Souls and Nova of the Liandri) as well as the Bonus Pack maps and 5 exclusive maps, which are: [[WAR-ColdHarbour]], [[DM-KoosBarge]], [[VCTF-Rails]] and 2 "Necrified" versions of VCTF-Suspense and WAR-DownTown.<br>
It is unknown if these exclusives will become available for the other platforms at a later date.

===Community===
Epic planned to use UT3 to bring more and more people into the Unreal community, with strong community integration out of the box. In-game lobbies were planned for Warfare, and game stats integration would have allowed you to find similarly-skilled opponents via the UT3 server browser. However, none of these elements shipped with the final game.

A global rankings system does exist to allow clans and other players to compare scores.

UT3 mod teams will, of course, be able to take advantage of the improvements in Unreal Engine 3's UnrealEd content creation tool, including the new UnrealKismet scripting environment, visual material editor and UnrealCascade particle engine.

PS3 users can now download specially cooked versions of various maps and mutators, provided the author supplies them. However, there are some limitations, and custom sounds or music cannot be supported in PS3 versions of the maps due to a proprietary sound codec being used.

The XBox 360 version does not appear to support custom content, but Epic might try to provide certain user-created content in the future. It does, however, currently have exclusive maps and characters not on the PC or PS3 versions, as well as a split-screen mode.

===Popularity In The PC Market===
Using the data collected from Xfire users, as of June 19th 2008, UT3 is ranked 91st in the list of most played PC games in the world; with a combined total of 97,000 minutes played per day by a total of over 1,500 Xfire users. On 13th October 2007, UT3's rank peaked at 19th place. Due to the constant change in number of players, these values change at peak periods, such as weekends and vacations. Recently UT3's rank usually remains between 90 and 100 in the list of the most played games in the world by Xfire users.

Interestingly, these statistics show that Unreal Tournament 3 is not as popular as its predecessor UT2004; with UT2004, as of June 19th 2008, being ranked the 53rd most played PC game in the world, with over 2,300 players per day playing for a combined total of over 215,000 minutes. Recently, UT2004's rank usually remains between 50th and 60th.

===AI & Voice===
{{cleanup|Section|This is still written in future tense. If you have any information about the AI & voice now, please rewrite this section.}}
UT3 will bring major advances in the artificial intelligence that controls UT bots, as well as the way in which players communicate with them. UT3 players will be able to give bots specific orders using their own voices. Whereas in UT or UT2004 you'd use the voice menu to tell your bots to "attack", you can now give orders like "There's a sniper on the tower, go get him". Bots will also respond to particular questions. For example, if you asked "Is there anyone in the cave?", they might reply "No, the cave is clear".

Apparently, this feature is quite buggy however. It is reported to work best for users who have a clear North American accent.

UT3 bots' personalities will also make them better suited to different in-game tasks.

Unreal Tournament 3

2008-08-29T12:23:16Z

Jamesmarshall: /* Iron Guard */ Links

'''Unreal Tournament 3''', also known as '''UT3''' (previously codenamed '''Envy''' and also formerly named '''Unreal Tournament 2007''', '''UT2007''', or '''UT2k7''') is [[Epic Games]]' sequel to [[Unreal Tournament 2004]]. Published by [[Midway Games]], UT3 is powered by Epic's new [[Unreal Engine 3]]. The game was released in late November 2007 for the PC, December 2007 (NA) and February 2008 (EU) for PS3, and July 2008 for XBox 360. The Mac/Linux versions are currently scheduled for an undetermined date in 2008.

==History==
UT3 was revealed to the world in the May 2005 issue of Computer Gaming World magazine. The first news of it began to appear on or around March 27, 2005. The game was originally codenamed UT "Envy", but later, around May 29, 2005, it was revealed that the name had been changed to '''Unreal Tournament 2007'''. It was not until January 25, 2007 at the Midway Gamer's Day event in Las Vegas that it was revealed that the game's name had been changed to '''Unreal Tournament 3'''. This change was met with great enthusiasm from the Unreal fan base.

Many changes have been made to the originally announced design of the game. For example, a game mode named Conquest that was originally announced was later complemented by [[Unreal Warfare]] and then replaced by it altogether. There was also an Onslaught 2.0 announcement which has also been rolled into the all-encompassing [[Warfare]] gametype.

Unreal Tournament 3 promises a return to the "feel" of the original Unreal Tournament. Epic aims to make the game more in-your-face, fast-paced, and less "floaty". To accomplish this, gravity has been increased and dodge-jumping has been removed. However, dodging, double jumps, and wall dodging will remain with their effect somewhat diminished due to the newly increased gravity. Gameplay in UT3 stresses close combat more than its predecessors UT2003 and UT2004. Many of the weapons are more effective up close. Epic stresses that the aim of UT3 is to create a whole new - and better - game, rather than merely a prettier UT2004. In addition to this, old favorites from the original UT such as jump boots and the ability to feign death returned in UT3.

===Beta Demo===
At Midnight on Friday, October 12th, 2007, Fileplanet began preloading the game to its subscribers.

The demo was unlocked and released on FilePlanet at 12:35 PM on Friday, October 12th. The release was apparently several hours earlier than intended, probably in response to a Norwegian site, "IT Avisen", leaking the demo approximately 5 hours earlier than FilePlanet.

The demo, which is Version 3464 according to the startup logs, comes with 3 maps: [[DM-ShangriLa]], [[DM-HeatRay]], and [[VCTF-Suspense]]. Of note is that DM-HeatRay was the first taste of the [[Necris vehicles]], specifically, the [[Darkwalker]].

Epic called the release an "Open Beta Demo", and thus it represents just a glimpse of how the game will play. At the release of the demo, Epic promised to fix issues based on user feedback. Many issues that were reported during the beta demo period were fixed or began to be fixed in the first patch.

===Final Demo===
It is possible that Epic might not release an updated demo, as their current plans do not include one at this time. If it does occur it will likely be after Patch 4 at the earliest.

===Release Details===
On November 12th, 2007 (a full seven days prior to the NA release), the German version of the game was released to German retailers. In order to comply with German regulations for public game sales, the game has had blood, gibs and headshots removed from the game. Very little else was changed except for the localization to German.

The US retail release came on November 19th, 2007. This, however, was the "ship" date, and thus many stores did not receive physical product until November 20th, 2007. The Canadian release came on November 20, and stores put it on shelves the very next day. The European release came on November 23, 2007.

===Reception===
Reception to the beta demo was generally positive, with most people agreeing that Epic has "got it right." There is some notable dissension from the crowd who enjoyed UT2003 and UT2004 though, particularly about the removal of dodge-jumping.

Reception to the game on PC has been mostly favorable from the community and reasonably warm from reviewers, with an average score somewhere around 9/10. Warfare in particular has been praised for being a more strategic version of [[Onslaught]]. There were, however, several key complaints about the game.

* Lackluster Single-Player and no Tournament mode
*: While the Single-Player was hyped a lot, it failed to deliver. It was too long and it completely replaced the old Tournament mode. It also had awkward explanations for classic arena gametypes, like '''[[FLaG]]s''' ('''F'''ield '''La'''ttice '''G'''enerators) and that scoring points ran out enemy [[respawner]]s.
* Awkward and simple UI
*: The UI felt very awkward and was very simple compared to previous UT games. There were very little options available for common settings, and overall the UI felt very unfinished. Many settings can be changed via INI, however often these settings do not save, revert, or appear to have no effect. Epic has promised that the UI would receive some improvements from the first few patches.
* Astoundingly bad Server Admin launch
*: Perhaps the worst problem, UT3 being a multiplayer game primarily, are the problems with the server admin tools. The initial release of the Windows dedicated server package was littered with bugs preventing a significant number of hosts from running servers. The Linux dedicated server was released a month after the retail game, on December 18, 2007 which left many hosts without any UT3 package to offer. Web Admin was also missing from both the original release and the first patch, though it was released alongside Patch 2 and has recieved steady updates since.
* Modding support simpified
*: Another key complaint with the game is that much of what used to be done in UnrealScript has been moved to native code, supposedly as a way to improve performance on consoles. This, however, has made it increasingly difficult to develop proper mods and mutators for the game in many instances.

===Collectors Edition===
On October 26, 2007, a limited collector's edition of the game was announced to be released on PC. This version of the game features an exclusive collector's edition tin and a hardcover art book. A bonus DVD is also included, featuring more than 20 hours of Unreal Engine 3 Toolkit video tutorials, containing anti-WarHawK software (disabling video playback in isolated cases), the history of the Unreal Tournament series, and behind-the-scenes footage of the making of Unreal Tournament 3. The Limited Collector's Edition is being sold in the United States, Europe, South Africa, Australia and most other territories.

===Linux===
Epic has promised to release a Linux installer for the game in the future that would work with the standard Windows disc.

===System Requirements===
;Minimum System Requirements: Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista, 2.0+ GHZ Single Core Processor, 512 Mbytes of System RAM, NVIDIA 6200+ or ATI Radeon 9600+ Video Card, 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space
;Recommended System Requirements: 2.4+ GHZ Dual Core Processor, 1 GBytes of System RAM, NVIDIA 7800GTX+ or ATIx13000+ Video Card, 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space

==Game Content==
===Engine===
'''Unreal Tournament 3''' uses [[Unreal Engine 3]].

===Version History===
Currently (August 13th, 2008) the latest official version of UT3 is Version 1.3, AKA Version 3601.

Based on statements Epic have made on the UT3 Mailing Lists, we can safely assume there will be at least one more patch after Patch 3.

===Music===
[[Rom Di Prisco]] and [[Jesper Kyd]] composed the UT3 soundtrack. [[Kevin Riepl]] also had a major hand in music production for the game.

An official game soundtrack was released November 20, 2007. The 2-CD set contains the ingame music, done by Kyd and DiPrisco, which feature a number of remixes from previous Unreal Tournament games.
Not every track are present in the soundtrack. All cutscene music is missing, as are the themes to WAR-Downtown and CTF-Coret are missing, due to those tracks being composed by Kevin Riepl. These tracks are, however, [http://kevinriepl.com/ut.htm available from his site], along with some songs from E3 videos and other early demonstrations.

==Gametypes==
*[[UT3 Single Player|Single Player]]
*: A five act storyline takes the place of the old tournament ladder system from previous games. The campaign contains in-engine rendered cutscenes along with the ability to gather "cards" that can be used to gain certain advantages in maps by completing side objectives. Online four player co-op is available for the campaign.
*[[Deathmatch]]
*: A free for all killing match between multiple players, there are no hoverboards, only one specialized vehicle in specialized maps. The vehicle is the necris darkwalker. Everyone trying to get the most kills.
*[[Team Deathmatch]]
*: A deathmatch (see above) between two teams of players. Both teams trying to get the most kills.
*[[Capture the Flag]]
*: Both teams have to capture the other teams FLaG, or Field Lattice Generator. No vehicles usually symetrical maps.
*[[Vehicle Capture the Flag]]
*: It's CTF with vehicles and the hoverboard.
*[[Warfare]]
*: Both sides have to destroy the other sides core node. Capturing bonus nodes on the way. Has vehicles, hoverboard.
*[[Duel]]
*: Fight between two players or a player and a bot on a deathmatch map.

==Weapons==
*[[Deployables#Unreal Tournament 3|Deployables]]
*: Strategy-themed devices including a Stasis Field, Energy Shield, Spidermine Trap, EMP, and Shaped Charge. All are dropped by the [[Necris]] [[Nightshade]] vehicle except the Shaped Charge, which is carried by hand.
*[[Translocator]]
*: This [[Unreal series]] favorite returns to the [[Capture the Flag]] gametype, except for maps that contain vehicles, in which the hoverboard becomes the secondary method of transportation. There are more charges than UT2004 (7 compared to 6) and they refill faster. (About one per second.) Also, the disc has a flatter trajectory than UT2004 and it fires farther than UT, but not quite as far at UT2004.
*[[Impact Hammer]]
*: This favorite from [[Unreal Tournament]] makes a comeback with an EMP alt-fire that severely damages vehicles and can remove powerups from other players. One of the newer effects of the Impact Hammer is that if you get several kills with it, blood and gore smear over the hammer - eventually making it more red than orange.
*[[Enforcer]]
*: Your starting weapon, the Enforcer is a pistol with rapid fire. Secondary fire shoots a less accurate triple burst. You spawn with one enforcer, though if a player is killed while holding the weapon it is dropped, and picking up a second enforcer allows you to hold two at a time. As a homage to the original Enforcer's alternate fire, they now turn sideways when you are close to an opponent.
*[[Bio Rifle]]
*: This weapon fires a big slow arcing gob of sludge that can instantly take out a heavily armed opponent or stick to floors and walls, then break apart into smaller pieces creating an instant minefield. Players with a large amount of slime attached to them will get rapidly "chipped" in damage, but they will have a second or two to fight back before dying, giving them a chance to take out the enemy who hit them.
*[[Shock Rifle]]
*: A classic weapon, the Shock Rifle fires an instant-hit beam of energy when primary fire is used, and a floating ball of energy when secondary fire is used. Players can also shoot the ball of energy with the beam to create a shock combo, dealing intense amounts of damage in a small radius (enough to kill a player wearing even medium armor). When compared to past titles, the shock balls have been sped up from [[UT2004]] to be more closely match the rate of the original [[UT]]. The primary rate of fire has also been reduced. Shock combos will now suck up ragdolls in a small vortex, and gib them if it does so.
*[[Link Gun]]
*: The link gun shoots small fast moving plasma balls similar to those in the original [[UT]]. The secondary shoots a straight beam of energy that can kill foes, heal vehicles and charge power nodes.
*[[Minigun|Stinger Minigun]]
*: The stinger from the original [[Unreal]] replaces the [[Minigun]] as a fast firing semi-projectile weapon. The gun has two modes, a fast but inaccurate spread of [[Tarydium]] crystal shards that hits instantly, and a slower firing more powerful projectile shot that can also sometimes nail opponents to the wall with the killing blow.
*[[Flak Cannon]]
*: Primary fire for this weapon releases a number of chunks of metal, tearing enemies into shreds. The secondary fire releases an undetonated flak shell that detonates and turns to shrapnel on impact. Compared to past titles, the primary fire bounces more and has a much tighter spread, while the flak shell does not travel as far as it did in [[UT2004]], but it has a much higher upward arc.
*[[Rocket Launcher]]
*: The new rocket launcher combines the instant rockets ability from [[UT2004]], and the grenades from [[UT]]. As in [[UT2004]] primary fire shoots instant rockets, secondary fire loads rockets, and hitting primary while holding secondary will switch to spiral fire mode with a single tap, grenades with two, or back to a spread with three. As in UT2004, rockets can lock onto vehicles. This feature has been visibly improved to help take out vehicles, with much better locking and turning ability.
*[[Sniper Rifle]]
*: The classic sniper rifle has returned to replace the [[Lightning Gun]] as the primary long range weapon. It now features a red-colored tracer, and Bolt Action reloading. It's comparably as strong as UT's Sniper Rifle, however, the rate of fire is not as fast as UT's, but it is much faster than the Sniper Rifle or Lightning Gun in [[UT2004]].
*[[AVRiL|Longbow AVRiL]]
*: The AVRiL is now hand loaded. Its tracking beam can be used to "herd" [[Deployables#Spidermine_Trap|Spider Mines]], much like the alt-fire on the [[Mine Layer]] in [[UT2004]], and the tracking beam is also visible to combat problems where a person could get shot with AVRiLs and not know where the enemy is. If a friendly teammate fires an AVRiL and they have not locked onto a target after a few seconds, it is possible to use your own AVRiL to lock onto a target with the targeting beam, which will actually cause the missile to come flying back towards its new target!
*[[Redeemer]]
*: Acting as the sole super weapon in this title, the redeemer is a rocket-launcher type weapon that fires a small nuclear warhead, capable of killing anybody within range regardless of how they are protected. It takes a few seconds to fully prepare and arm, and it takes up a large portion of your visibility as it is doing so. Primary fire just releases the warhead, while secondary fire gives you the ability to guide it. If you are close to the epicenter, but not directly exposed to damage, you may be knocked off your feet for a moment, as if you had fallen off the hoverboard. As always, a good shot can take the redeemer down, giving both the firing player and the sharpshooter a "Denied!" award.

==Pickups==
===Powerups===
All Powerups are dropped when the player is killed, or if they are knocked off of the player with the Altfire of the Impact Hammer.
*[[Jump Boots]]
*:The Jump Boots return from UT, and are activated by double jumping. It is possible to dodgejump as you could in UT2004, if and only if you have these boots.
*[[Berserk]]
*:Increases weapon rate of fire speed. Combined with the Damage Amplifier, the game will give you a "Juggernaut" award. Some weapons will not fire faster (Stinger Primary), in which case they will be powered up as if they had a Damage Amplifier.
*[[Damage Amplifier]]
*:Gives double damage. Combined with the Berserk, the game will give you a "Juggernaut" award.
*[[Invulnerability]]
*:Grants you total invincibility from all things except for falling off the map or otherwise instant kill zones.
*[[Invisibility]]
*:Makes the player very difficult/impossible to see. Note that on Detail Level 1, players literally <i>ARE</i> completely invisible!

===Health===
*[[Health Vial]] - Small and Green. Heals 5 Health, up to a maximum of 199.
*[[Health Pack]] - Large, White Health Packs that somewhat resemble UT2004's Kegs, but a bit more rounded and without the blue. Heals 25 Health, up to a maximum of 100.
*[[Big Keg O' Health]] - As always, the Keg of health provides an instant +100 Health boost, up to 199 health.

===Armor===
*[[Shield Belt]]
*:The Shield Belt returns, although it provides only 100 points of protection. However, unlike the UT200x shields, the shield belt will absorb 100% of damage, until it is destroyed. If you are wearing a shield belt and in a vehicle when it is destroyed, you will not die instantly - instead, you will be ejected from the vehicle, but it will cost the Shield Belt.
*[[Armor Vest]]
*:The Armor Vest provides 50 points of protection, and absorbs 75% of taken damage.
*[[Thigh Pads]]
*:The Thigh Pads provide 30 points of protection, and absorbs 50% of taken damage.
*[[Helmet]]
*:The Helmet provides 20 points of protection, and absorbs 50% of taken damage. One feature this piece of armor has that is unique, is its ability to block headshots. Assuming you have at least 1 point of Helmet Armor on, if your character suffers a headshot, it will not affect him or damage him at all - however, the helmet will be destroyed.

==Vehicles==
===Axon===
*[[Scorpion]]
*: The primary fire shoots electrified balls that explode on contact; these are particularly effective against other vehicles, but especially against the [[Manta]], [[Viper]], and [[Hoverboard]], upon which they home in on. It also now features a speed boost feature. You can eject from the Scorpion when using it in this manner, and it will blow up and detonate upon impact. If it kills someone due to the explosion, the game will reward you with a "Bullseye!" award.
*[[Hellbender]]
*: The new rendition of the hellbender places the driver in control over the skymine turret, while the rear turret functions differently from [[UT2004]], being more like a standard turret instead of the twin-beam configuration. The rear turret can either be rapidly fired for low damage or given a brief moment to recharge for more power.
*[[Manta]]
*: In addition to a visual update, players will no longer be able to ride on top of the side fans. The Manta is also unable to hit players without crouching down anymore unless the player is on a hoverboard or a slope.
*[[Raptor]]
*: Besides the visual update, the Raptor now seems to be a bit more responsive to maneuvering, and both the rate of fire and locking ability for its missiles have dramatically improved.
*[[Cicada]]
*: Sporting a much bulkier and boxier look, the Cicada is mostly unchanged, however, ascending and descending seems even faster than before. Missiles can still be charged and held with the Altfire.
*[[Paladin]]
*: Visually much improved from it's UT 2004 debut. The shield will no longer remain deployed if it goes through buildings or other level geometry, and it will get dimmer with sustained damage to allow visual estimation of how charged the shield is. Furthermore, using the shield combo to knock away nearby infantry is now instantaneous, as well as will deplete the shield slightly, taking about six combos before the shield is down. It seems to be slightly faster, as well.
*[[SPMA|Hellfire SPMA]]
*: The skymine turret is now controlled by the driver when the paladin is undeployed. There is no longer a passanger/gunner seat. The camera can now crush and kill people if it hits them (or even if they simply run into it!) and it also cannot be launched as far upward - however, to compensate, the bombing is considerably more tightly packed. There is now a visual arc that shows what path the shell will roughly take, assuming that the area is strikeable - an area that cannot be bombed will not show this targeting arc.
*[[Goliath]]
*: The Goliath tank works effectively the same to its UT2004 equivalent. It can climb over small obstacles now, such as other vehicles, and has a much higher upward firing range than its UT2004 counterpart. Its shell range has been decreased somewhat, but they also have less randomness in each shot.
*[[Leviathan]]
*: This mobile fortress still features its devastating main cannon and has added distinct weapon fire to each of its four turrets rather than UT2004's link-like projectile. Each turret also has an alternate shield function. It has considerably more armor and the Ion Cannon takes nearly twice as long to deploy, compared to the UT2004 version. Each turret can be individually destroyed as well.

===Necris===
The Necris have six vehicles at their disposal:
*[[Viper]]
*: A single passenger speeder. The primary gun fires projectiles that bounce off walls, similar to [[Ripper]] projectiles in the original [[UT]]. The vehicle can also spread out like a real life viper to hover high in the sky. Like the Scorpion, it can be used on kamikaze missions, and ram vehicles or targets from the air.
*[[Darkwalker]]
*: This lumbering tripod has tendril-like legs that allow them to climb a wider variety of terrain compared to other vehicles. The primary weapon is an extremely powerful twin laser beam that shoots out a line of plasma. The secondary fire "screams" knocking players off their feet and out of some vehicles (Manta, Viper) or force others out of the way (Scavenger). The vehicle also features a secondary gunner position that functions similar to a Plasma Turret.
*[[Nemesis]]
*: The Nemesis is the Necris answer to the Goliath, and it features an instant hit twin laser beam with zoom. The vehicle also supports different modes. When you crouch down the vehicle moves faster, but it will completely lock your aim forward, with no motion at all except for vehicular manipulation. You can also rise up to attack, but this makes you more of a target. You can also rise up even more to increase the beams' rate of fire... but this makes you nearly immobile, roughly on par with the Leviathan, as well as a very large and obvious target.
*[[Fury]]
*: The Fury is a single-seated flying vehicle that specializes in shooting down other air units. This vehicle can dodge, allowing you to barrel roll out of the way. Primary fire is a hitscan beam attack, similar in nature to the Darkwalker but with less range, and with a lock-on ability once struck as well as a very quick recharge time. Altfire allows a quick burst of speed to get out of the way of missiles or shots heading your way.
*[[Nightshade]]
*: Seemingly the Necris answer to the Axon's Hellbender, this stealth-based vehicle primarily has [[Deployables#Unreal Tournament 3|deployables]] as weapons: [[Deployables#Spidermine_Trap|Spider Mines]], [[Deployables#EMP|EMP Mines]], [[Deployables#Shield_Generator|Shield Generators]], and the [[Deployables#Stasis_Field|Stasis Field]], commonly called the "Slow Volume." Its only other weapon is a short-range beam similar to the Link Gun's, with very limited range that heals vehicles and nodes at a greatly accelerated speed. It can uncloak to go faster, toggled with Altfire.
*[[Scavenger]]
*: This spherical vehicle can extend its legs and pull itself up terrain or retract them and roll on the ground like a ball. It also has a spinning attack that is effective against infantry. A small ball hovers around the vehicle; it is this orb that attacks directly and not the Scavenger, which acts more like a targeting device for this orb to attack. It can move at great speeds while rolling on the ground, but has little control as a result. Ramming into other vehicles at great speed while rolling as a ball damages them considerably.

===Other===
*[[Hoverboard]]
*: Pressing the translocator button will cause the player to hop on a hovering skate-board like device that is used mainly for transportation and is present only in Warfare and Vehicle Capture the Flag maps. The flag or orb may be carried on the Hoverboard, but any amount of damage, even one point, will send the player tumbling (this includes falling damage) in addition to dropping the orb or flag, if they carried it, unless the player is currently wearing a Shieldbelt. A player who falls off will be prone for a moment before being able to get up, which could naturally be fatal if there's opposition in the area. This also extends to grappling onto a vehicle, so if the carrier is shot from high up as they're attached to a raptor or other flying vehicle, it is generally lethal unless the player has lots of armor and health.
*[[Turrets#Unreal Tournament 3|Turrets]]
*: These formerly stationary one-man laser cannons are now equipped with rails, offering the turret limited mobility in order to help prevent attackers from taking advantage of the terrain by obtaining angles of shot that cannot be avoided. New to UT3 are Rocket Turrets.

Originally an [[Axon]] version of the [[Nightshade]], called the [[Stealthbender]], was planned. For some reason (maybe because the bots still don't care whether things are invisible) it was dropped from the game, though.

==Teams==
Teams present in UT3 are the following:
*[[Ronin]]
*: The only survivors of the infamous Twin Souls massacre, bound together out of a sense of duty, honor, and revenge.
*[[Iron Guard]]
*: A group of highly skilled and well trained mercenaries, experts in virtually any combat scenario.
*[[Krall]]
*: The Necris use these formidable reptilian beasts for the pacification of newly conquered planets.
*[[Necris]]
*: The secretive Phayder Corporation developed the Necris process to produce this elite group of assassins.
*[[The Corrupt|Liandri]]
*: Combat modified versions of the Liandri Mining Corporation's world-class security drones.

These teams have probably been in the game at one point, but appear to have been cut:
*[[Thunder Crash]]
*: Even though Malcolm is present in the game, he and his team of experienced fighters do not participate as opponents in the storyline. It is possible that at least Malcolm will return, since there is unused voice clips that include taunts on the [http://unrealtournament3.com official website].
*[[Juggernauts]]
*: These heavily armored, gene-boosted combatants would have returned from [[UT2004]]. They mostly consist of disgruntled prisoners and criminals.
*[[Nakhti]]
*: The Nakhti possess far advanced technology and are well skilled in fighting. They are featured in [[UC2]].

==Maps==
This time around, Epic chose to step away from the wildly different maps seen in previous tournaments, and instead create a few cohesive worlds and tie them together with their level design. 40 maps shipped with the game and 13 of them are [[Warfare]] maps.

==Bonus Content==
Before any official bonus content was released, Epic "cooked" a few user created maps and mutators for use with the PS3 version to give those users something to play with. (All custom content must be created on a PC.)

On the 27th of March 2008, Epic released their first bonus pack, which contains three maps: [[DM-Morbias]], [[CTF-FacingWorlds]] and [[CTF-Searchlight]].

The Xbox 360 version of the game has 2 new characters (Kana of the Twin Souls and Nova of the Liandri) as well as the Bonus Pack maps and 5 exclusive maps, which are: [[WAR-ColdHarbour]], [[DM-KoosBarge]], [[VCTF-Rails]] and 2 "Necrified" versions of VCTF-Suspense and WAR-DownTown.<br>
It is unknown if these exclusives will become available for the other platforms at a later date.

===Community===
Epic planned to use UT3 to bring more and more people into the Unreal community, with strong community integration out of the box. In-game lobbies were planned for Warfare, and game stats integration would have allowed you to find similarly-skilled opponents via the UT3 server browser. However, none of these elements shipped with the final game.

A global rankings system does exist to allow clans and other players to compare scores.

UT3 mod teams will, of course, be able to take advantage of the improvements in Unreal Engine 3's UnrealEd content creation tool, including the new UnrealKismet scripting environment, visual material editor and UnrealCascade particle engine.

PS3 users can now download specially cooked versions of various maps and mutators, provided the author supplies them. However, there are some limitations, and custom sounds or music cannot be supported in PS3 versions of the maps due to a proprietary sound codec being used.

The XBox 360 version does not appear to support custom content, but Epic might try to provide certain user-created content in the future. It does, however, currently have exclusive maps and characters not on the PC or PS3 versions, as well as a split-screen mode.

===Popularity In The PC Market===
Using the data collected from Xfire users, as of June 19th 2008, UT3 is ranked 91st in the list of most played PC games in the world; with a combined total of 97,000 minutes played per day by a total of over 1,500 Xfire users. On 13th October 2007, UT3's rank peaked at 19th place. Due to the constant change in number of players, these values change at peak periods, such as weekends and vacations. Recently UT3's rank usually remains between 90 and 100 in the list of the most played games in the world by Xfire users.

Interestingly, these statistics show that Unreal Tournament 3 is not as popular as its predecessor UT2004; with UT2004, as of June 19th 2008, being ranked the 53rd most played PC game in the world, with over 2,300 players per day playing for a combined total of over 215,000 minutes. Recently, UT2004's rank usually remains between 50th and 60th.

===AI & Voice===
{{cleanup|Section|This is still written in future tense. If you have any information about the AI & voice now, please rewrite this section.}}
UT3 will bring major advances in the artificial intelligence that controls UT bots, as well as the way in which players communicate with them. UT3 players will be able to give bots specific orders using their own voices. Whereas in UT or UT2004 you'd use the voice menu to tell your bots to "attack", you can now give orders like "There's a sniper on the tower, go get him". Bots will also respond to particular questions. For example, if you asked "Is there anyone in the cave?", they might reply "No, the cave is clear".

Apparently, this feature is quite buggy however. It is reported to work best for users who have a clear North American accent.

UT3 bots' personalities will also make them better suited to different in-game tasks.

Unreal Tournament 3

Jamesmarshall: /* Izanagi / Ronin */ Fixed link

'''Unreal Tournament 3''', also known as '''UT3''' (previously codenamed '''Envy''' and also formerly named '''Unreal Tournament 2007''', '''UT2007''', or '''UT2k7''') is [[Epic Games]]' sequel to [[Unreal Tournament 2004]]. Published by [[Midway Games]], UT3 is powered by Epic's new [[Unreal Engine 3]]. The game was released in late November 2007 for the PC, December 2007 (NA) and February 2008 (EU) for PS3, and July 2008 for XBox 360. The Mac/Linux versions are currently scheduled for an undetermined date in 2008.

==History==
UT3 was revealed to the world in the May 2005 issue of Computer Gaming World magazine. The first news of it began to appear on or around March 27, 2005. The game was originally codenamed UT "Envy", but later, around May 29, 2005, it was revealed that the name had been changed to '''Unreal Tournament 2007'''. It was not until January 25, 2007 at the Midway Gamer's Day event in Las Vegas that it was revealed that the game's name had been changed to '''Unreal Tournament 3'''. This change was met with great enthusiasm from the Unreal fan base.

Many changes have been made to the originally announced design of the game. For example, a game mode named Conquest that was originally announced was later complemented by [[Unreal Warfare]] and then replaced by it altogether. There was also an Onslaught 2.0 announcement which has also been rolled into the all-encompassing [[Warfare]] gametype.

Unreal Tournament 3 promises a return to the "feel" of the original Unreal Tournament. Epic aims to make the game more in-your-face, fast-paced, and less "floaty". To accomplish this, gravity has been increased and dodge-jumping has been removed. However, dodging, double jumps, and wall dodging will remain with their effect somewhat diminished due to the newly increased gravity. Gameplay in UT3 stresses close combat more than its predecessors UT2003 and UT2004. Many of the weapons are more effective up close. Epic stresses that the aim of UT3 is to create a whole new - and better - game, rather than merely a prettier UT2004. In addition to this, old favorites from the original UT such as jump boots and the ability to feign death returned in UT3.

===Beta Demo===
At Midnight on Friday, October 12th, 2007, Fileplanet began preloading the game to its subscribers.

The demo was unlocked and released on FilePlanet at 12:35 PM on Friday, October 12th. The release was apparently several hours earlier than intended, probably in response to a Norwegian site, "IT Avisen", leaking the demo approximately 5 hours earlier than FilePlanet.

The demo, which is Version 3464 according to the startup logs, comes with 3 maps: [[DM-ShangriLa]], [[DM-HeatRay]], and [[VCTF-Suspense]]. Of note is that DM-HeatRay was the first taste of the [[Necris vehicles]], specifically, the [[Darkwalker]].

Epic called the release an "Open Beta Demo", and thus it represents just a glimpse of how the game will play. At the release of the demo, Epic promised to fix issues based on user feedback. Many issues that were reported during the beta demo period were fixed or began to be fixed in the first patch.

===Final Demo===
It is possible that Epic might not release an updated demo, as their current plans do not include one at this time. If it does occur it will likely be after Patch 4 at the earliest.

===Release Details===
On November 12th, 2007 (a full seven days prior to the NA release), the German version of the game was released to German retailers. In order to comply with German regulations for public game sales, the game has had blood, gibs and headshots removed from the game. Very little else was changed except for the localization to German.

The US retail release came on November 19th, 2007. This, however, was the "ship" date, and thus many stores did not receive physical product until November 20th, 2007. The Canadian release came on November 20, and stores put it on shelves the very next day. The European release came on November 23, 2007.

===Reception===
Reception to the beta demo was generally positive, with most people agreeing that Epic has "got it right." There is some notable dissension from the crowd who enjoyed UT2003 and UT2004 though, particularly about the removal of dodge-jumping.

Reception to the game on PC has been mostly favorable from the community and reasonably warm from reviewers, with an average score somewhere around 9/10. Warfare in particular has been praised for being a more strategic version of [[Onslaught]]. There were, however, several key complaints about the game.

* Lackluster Single-Player and no Tournament mode
*: While the Single-Player was hyped a lot, it failed to deliver. It was too long and it completely replaced the old Tournament mode. It also had awkward explanations for classic arena gametypes, like '''[[FLaG]]s''' ('''F'''ield '''La'''ttice '''G'''enerators) and that scoring points ran out enemy [[respawner]]s.
* Awkward and simple UI
*: The UI felt very awkward and was very simple compared to previous UT games. There were very little options available for common settings, and overall the UI felt very unfinished. Many settings can be changed via INI, however often these settings do not save, revert, or appear to have no effect. Epic has promised that the UI would receive some improvements from the first few patches.
* Astoundingly bad Server Admin launch
*: Perhaps the worst problem, UT3 being a multiplayer game primarily, are the problems with the server admin tools. The initial release of the Windows dedicated server package was littered with bugs preventing a significant number of hosts from running servers. The Linux dedicated server was released a month after the retail game, on December 18, 2007 which left many hosts without any UT3 package to offer. Web Admin was also missing from both the original release and the first patch, though it was released alongside Patch 2 and has recieved steady updates since.
* Modding support simpified
*: Another key complaint with the game is that much of what used to be done in UnrealScript has been moved to native code, supposedly as a way to improve performance on consoles. This, however, has made it increasingly difficult to develop proper mods and mutators for the game in many instances.

===Collectors Edition===
On October 26, 2007, a limited collector's edition of the game was announced to be released on PC. This version of the game features an exclusive collector's edition tin and a hardcover art book. A bonus DVD is also included, featuring more than 20 hours of Unreal Engine 3 Toolkit video tutorials, containing anti-WarHawK software (disabling video playback in isolated cases), the history of the Unreal Tournament series, and behind-the-scenes footage of the making of Unreal Tournament 3. The Limited Collector's Edition is being sold in the United States, Europe, South Africa, Australia and most other territories.

===Linux===
Epic has promised to release a Linux installer for the game in the future that would work with the standard Windows disc.

===System Requirements===
;Minimum System Requirements: Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista, 2.0+ GHZ Single Core Processor, 512 Mbytes of System RAM, NVIDIA 6200+ or ATI Radeon 9600+ Video Card, 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space
;Recommended System Requirements: 2.4+ GHZ Dual Core Processor, 1 GBytes of System RAM, NVIDIA 7800GTX+ or ATIx13000+ Video Card, 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space

==Game Content==
===Engine===
'''Unreal Tournament 3''' uses [[Unreal Engine 3]].

===Version History===
Currently (August 13th, 2008) the latest official version of UT3 is Version 1.3, AKA Version 3601.

Based on statements Epic have made on the UT3 Mailing Lists, we can safely assume there will be at least one more patch after Patch 3.

===Music===
[[Rom Di Prisco]] and [[Jesper Kyd]] composed the UT3 soundtrack. [[Kevin Riepl]] also had a major hand in music production for the game.

An official game soundtrack was released November 20, 2007. The 2-CD set contains the ingame music, done by Kyd and DiPrisco, which feature a number of remixes from previous Unreal Tournament games.
Not every track are present in the soundtrack. All cutscene music is missing, as are the themes to WAR-Downtown and CTF-Coret are missing, due to those tracks being composed by Kevin Riepl. These tracks are, however, [http://kevinriepl.com/ut.htm available from his site], along with some songs from E3 videos and other early demonstrations.

==Gametypes==
*[[UT3 Single Player|Single Player]]
*: A five act storyline takes the place of the old tournament ladder system from previous games. The campaign contains in-engine rendered cutscenes along with the ability to gather "cards" that can be used to gain certain advantages in maps by completing side objectives. Online four player co-op is available for the campaign.
*[[Deathmatch]]
*: A free for all killing match between multiple players, there are no hoverboards, only one specialized vehicle in specialized maps. The vehicle is the necris darkwalker. Everyone trying to get the most kills.
*[[Team Deathmatch]]
*: A deathmatch (see above) between two teams of players. Both teams trying to get the most kills.
*[[Capture the Flag]]
*: Both teams have to capture the other teams FLaG, or Field Lattice Generator. No vehicles usually symetrical maps.
*[[Vehicle Capture the Flag]]
*: It's CTF with vehicles and the hoverboard.
*[[Warfare]]
*: Both sides have to destroy the other sides core node. Capturing bonus nodes on the way. Has vehicles, hoverboard.
*[[Duel]]
*: Fight between two players or a player and a bot on a deathmatch map.

==Weapons==
*[[Deployables#Unreal Tournament 3|Deployables]]
*: Strategy-themed devices including a Stasis Field, Energy Shield, Spidermine Trap, EMP, and Shaped Charge. All are dropped by the [[Necris]] [[Nightshade]] vehicle except the Shaped Charge, which is carried by hand.
*[[Translocator]]
*: This [[Unreal series]] favorite returns to the [[Capture the Flag]] gametype, except for maps that contain vehicles, in which the hoverboard becomes the secondary method of transportation. There are more charges than UT2004 (7 compared to 6) and they refill faster. (About one per second.) Also, the disc has a flatter trajectory than UT2004 and it fires farther than UT, but not quite as far at UT2004.
*[[Impact Hammer]]
*: This favorite from [[Unreal Tournament]] makes a comeback with an EMP alt-fire that severely damages vehicles and can remove powerups from other players. One of the newer effects of the Impact Hammer is that if you get several kills with it, blood and gore smear over the hammer - eventually making it more red than orange.
*[[Enforcer]]
*: Your starting weapon, the Enforcer is a pistol with rapid fire. Secondary fire shoots a less accurate triple burst. You spawn with one enforcer, though if a player is killed while holding the weapon it is dropped, and picking up a second enforcer allows you to hold two at a time. As a homage to the original Enforcer's alternate fire, they now turn sideways when you are close to an opponent.
*[[Bio Rifle]]
*: This weapon fires a big slow arcing gob of sludge that can instantly take out a heavily armed opponent or stick to floors and walls, then break apart into smaller pieces creating an instant minefield. Players with a large amount of slime attached to them will get rapidly "chipped" in damage, but they will have a second or two to fight back before dying, giving them a chance to take out the enemy who hit them.
*[[Shock Rifle]]
*: A classic weapon, the Shock Rifle fires an instant-hit beam of energy when primary fire is used, and a floating ball of energy when secondary fire is used. Players can also shoot the ball of energy with the beam to create a shock combo, dealing intense amounts of damage in a small radius (enough to kill a player wearing even medium armor). When compared to past titles, the shock balls have been sped up from [[UT2004]] to be more closely match the rate of the original [[UT]]. The primary rate of fire has also been reduced. Shock combos will now suck up ragdolls in a small vortex, and gib them if it does so.
*[[Link Gun]]
*: The link gun shoots small fast moving plasma balls similar to those in the original [[UT]]. The secondary shoots a straight beam of energy that can kill foes, heal vehicles and charge power nodes.
*[[Minigun|Stinger Minigun]]
*: The stinger from the original [[Unreal]] replaces the [[Minigun]] as a fast firing semi-projectile weapon. The gun has two modes, a fast but inaccurate spread of [[Tarydium]] crystal shards that hits instantly, and a slower firing more powerful projectile shot that can also sometimes nail opponents to the wall with the killing blow.
*[[Flak Cannon]]
*: Primary fire for this weapon releases a number of chunks of metal, tearing enemies into shreds. The secondary fire releases an undetonated flak shell that detonates and turns to shrapnel on impact. Compared to past titles, the primary fire bounces more and has a much tighter spread, while the flak shell does not travel as far as it did in [[UT2004]], but it has a much higher upward arc.
*[[Rocket Launcher]]
*: The new rocket launcher combines the instant rockets ability from [[UT2004]], and the grenades from [[UT]]. As in [[UT2004]] primary fire shoots instant rockets, secondary fire loads rockets, and hitting primary while holding secondary will switch to spiral fire mode with a single tap, grenades with two, or back to a spread with three. As in UT2004, rockets can lock onto vehicles. This feature has been visibly improved to help take out vehicles, with much better locking and turning ability.
*[[Sniper Rifle]]
*: The classic sniper rifle has returned to replace the [[Lightning Gun]] as the primary long range weapon. It now features a red-colored tracer, and Bolt Action reloading. It's comparably as strong as UT's Sniper Rifle, however, the rate of fire is not as fast as UT's, but it is much faster than the Sniper Rifle or Lightning Gun in [[UT2004]].
*[[AVRiL|Longbow AVRiL]]
*: The AVRiL is now hand loaded. Its tracking beam can be used to "herd" [[Deployables#Spidermine_Trap|Spider Mines]], much like the alt-fire on the [[Mine Layer]] in [[UT2004]], and the tracking beam is also visible to combat problems where a person could get shot with AVRiLs and not know where the enemy is. If a friendly teammate fires an AVRiL and they have not locked onto a target after a few seconds, it is possible to use your own AVRiL to lock onto a target with the targeting beam, which will actually cause the missile to come flying back towards its new target!
*[[Redeemer]]
*: Acting as the sole super weapon in this title, the redeemer is a rocket-launcher type weapon that fires a small nuclear warhead, capable of killing anybody within range regardless of how they are protected. It takes a few seconds to fully prepare and arm, and it takes up a large portion of your visibility as it is doing so. Primary fire just releases the warhead, while secondary fire gives you the ability to guide it. If you are close to the epicenter, but not directly exposed to damage, you may be knocked off your feet for a moment, as if you had fallen off the hoverboard. As always, a good shot can take the redeemer down, giving both the firing player and the sharpshooter a "Denied!" award.

==Pickups==
===Powerups===
All Powerups are dropped when the player is killed, or if they are knocked off of the player with the Altfire of the Impact Hammer.
*[[Jump Boots]]
*:The Jump Boots return from UT, and are activated by double jumping. It is possible to dodgejump as you could in UT2004, if and only if you have these boots.
*[[Berserk]]
*:Increases weapon rate of fire speed. Combined with the Damage Amplifier, the game will give you a "Juggernaut" award. Some weapons will not fire faster (Stinger Primary), in which case they will be powered up as if they had a Damage Amplifier.
*[[Damage Amplifier]]
*:Gives double damage. Combined with the Berserk, the game will give you a "Juggernaut" award.
*[[Invulnerability]]
*:Grants you total invincibility from all things except for falling off the map or otherwise instant kill zones.
*[[Invisibility]]
*:Makes the player very difficult/impossible to see. Note that on Detail Level 1, players literally <i>ARE</i> completely invisible!

===Health===
*[[Health Vial]] - Small and Green. Heals 5 Health, up to a maximum of 199.
*[[Health Pack]] - Large, White Health Packs that somewhat resemble UT2004's Kegs, but a bit more rounded and without the blue. Heals 25 Health, up to a maximum of 100.
*[[Big Keg O' Health]] - As always, the Keg of health provides an instant +100 Health boost, up to 199 health.

===Armor===
*[[Shield Belt]]
*:The Shield Belt returns, although it provides only 100 points of protection. However, unlike the UT200x shields, the shield belt will absorb 100% of damage, until it is destroyed. If you are wearing a shield belt and in a vehicle when it is destroyed, you will not die instantly - instead, you will be ejected from the vehicle, but it will cost the Shield Belt.
*[[Armor Vest]]
*:The Armor Vest provides 50 points of protection, and absorbs 75% of taken damage.
*[[Thigh Pads]]
*:The Thigh Pads provide 30 points of protection, and absorbs 50% of taken damage.
*[[Helmet]]
*:The Helmet provides 20 points of protection, and absorbs 50% of taken damage. One feature this piece of armor has that is unique, is its ability to block headshots. Assuming you have at least 1 point of Helmet Armor on, if your character suffers a headshot, it will not affect him or damage him at all - however, the helmet will be destroyed.

==Vehicles==
===Axon===
*[[Scorpion]]
*: The primary fire shoots electrified balls that explode on contact; these are particularly effective against other vehicles, but especially against the [[Manta]], [[Viper]], and [[Hoverboard]], upon which they home in on. It also now features a speed boost feature. You can eject from the Scorpion when using it in this manner, and it will blow up and detonate upon impact. If it kills someone due to the explosion, the game will reward you with a "Bullseye!" award.
*[[Hellbender]]
*: The new rendition of the hellbender places the driver in control over the skymine turret, while the rear turret functions differently from [[UT2004]], being more like a standard turret instead of the twin-beam configuration. The rear turret can either be rapidly fired for low damage or given a brief moment to recharge for more power.
*[[Manta]]
*: In addition to a visual update, players will no longer be able to ride on top of the side fans. The Manta is also unable to hit players without crouching down anymore unless the player is on a hoverboard or a slope.
*[[Raptor]]
*: Besides the visual update, the Raptor now seems to be a bit more responsive to maneuvering, and both the rate of fire and locking ability for its missiles have dramatically improved.
*[[Cicada]]
*: Sporting a much bulkier and boxier look, the Cicada is mostly unchanged, however, ascending and descending seems even faster than before. Missiles can still be charged and held with the Altfire.
*[[Paladin]]
*: Visually much improved from it's UT 2004 debut. The shield will no longer remain deployed if it goes through buildings or other level geometry, and it will get dimmer with sustained damage to allow visual estimation of how charged the shield is. Furthermore, using the shield combo to knock away nearby infantry is now instantaneous, as well as will deplete the shield slightly, taking about six combos before the shield is down. It seems to be slightly faster, as well.
*[[SPMA|Hellfire SPMA]]
*: The skymine turret is now controlled by the driver when the paladin is undeployed. There is no longer a passanger/gunner seat. The camera can now crush and kill people if it hits them (or even if they simply run into it!) and it also cannot be launched as far upward - however, to compensate, the bombing is considerably more tightly packed. There is now a visual arc that shows what path the shell will roughly take, assuming that the area is strikeable - an area that cannot be bombed will not show this targeting arc.
*[[Goliath]]
*: The Goliath tank works effectively the same to its UT2004 equivalent. It can climb over small obstacles now, such as other vehicles, and has a much higher upward firing range than its UT2004 counterpart. Its shell range has been decreased somewhat, but they also have less randomness in each shot.
*[[Leviathan]]
*: This mobile fortress still features its devastating main cannon and has added distinct weapon fire to each of its four turrets rather than UT2004's link-like projectile. Each turret also has an alternate shield function. It has considerably more armor and the Ion Cannon takes nearly twice as long to deploy, compared to the UT2004 version. Each turret can be individually destroyed as well.

===Necris===
The Necris have six vehicles at their disposal:
*[[Viper]]
*: A single passenger speeder. The primary gun fires projectiles that bounce off walls, similar to [[Ripper]] projectiles in the original [[UT]]. The vehicle can also spread out like a real life viper to hover high in the sky. Like the Scorpion, it can be used on kamikaze missions, and ram vehicles or targets from the air.
*[[Darkwalker]]
*: This lumbering tripod has tendril-like legs that allow them to climb a wider variety of terrain compared to other vehicles. The primary weapon is an extremely powerful twin laser beam that shoots out a line of plasma. The secondary fire "screams" knocking players off their feet and out of some vehicles (Manta, Viper) or force others out of the way (Scavenger). The vehicle also features a secondary gunner position that functions similar to a Plasma Turret.
*[[Nemesis]]
*: The Nemesis is the Necris answer to the Goliath, and it features an instant hit twin laser beam with zoom. The vehicle also supports different modes. When you crouch down the vehicle moves faster, but it will completely lock your aim forward, with no motion at all except for vehicular manipulation. You can also rise up to attack, but this makes you more of a target. You can also rise up even more to increase the beams' rate of fire... but this makes you nearly immobile, roughly on par with the Leviathan, as well as a very large and obvious target.
*[[Fury]]
*: The Fury is a single-seated flying vehicle that specializes in shooting down other air units. This vehicle can dodge, allowing you to barrel roll out of the way. Primary fire is a hitscan beam attack, similar in nature to the Darkwalker but with less range, and with a lock-on ability once struck as well as a very quick recharge time. Altfire allows a quick burst of speed to get out of the way of missiles or shots heading your way.
*[[Nightshade]]
*: Seemingly the Necris answer to the Axon's Hellbender, this stealth-based vehicle primarily has [[Deployables#Unreal Tournament 3|deployables]] as weapons: [[Deployables#Spidermine_Trap|Spider Mines]], [[Deployables#EMP|EMP Mines]], [[Deployables#Shield_Generator|Shield Generators]], and the [[Deployables#Stasis_Field|Stasis Field]], commonly called the "Slow Volume." Its only other weapon is a short-range beam similar to the Link Gun's, with very limited range that heals vehicles and nodes at a greatly accelerated speed. It can uncloak to go faster, toggled with Altfire.
*[[Scavenger]]
*: This spherical vehicle can extend its legs and pull itself up terrain or retract them and roll on the ground like a ball. It also has a spinning attack that is effective against infantry. A small ball hovers around the vehicle; it is this orb that attacks directly and not the Scavenger, which acts more like a targeting device for this orb to attack. It can move at great speeds while rolling on the ground, but has little control as a result. Ramming into other vehicles at great speed while rolling as a ball damages them considerably.

===Other===
*[[Hoverboard]]
*: Pressing the translocator button will cause the player to hop on a hovering skate-board like device that is used mainly for transportation and is present only in Warfare and Vehicle Capture the Flag maps. The flag or orb may be carried on the Hoverboard, but any amount of damage, even one point, will send the player tumbling (this includes falling damage) in addition to dropping the orb or flag, if they carried it, unless the player is currently wearing a Shieldbelt. A player who falls off will be prone for a moment before being able to get up, which could naturally be fatal if there's opposition in the area. This also extends to grappling onto a vehicle, so if the carrier is shot from high up as they're attached to a raptor or other flying vehicle, it is generally lethal unless the player has lots of armor and health.
*[[Turrets#Unreal Tournament 3|Turrets]]
*: These formerly stationary one-man laser cannons are now equipped with rails, offering the turret limited mobility in order to help prevent attackers from taking advantage of the terrain by obtaining angles of shot that cannot be avoided. New to UT3 are Rocket Turrets.

Originally an [[Axon]] version of the [[Nightshade]], called the [[Stealthbender]], was planned. For some reason (maybe because the bots still don't care whether things are invisible) it was dropped from the game, though.

==Teams==
Teams present in UT3 are the following:
*[[Ronin]]
*: The only survivors of the infamous Twin Souls massacre, bound together out of a sense of duty, honor, and revenge.
*[[Iron Guard]]
*: A group of highly skilled and well trained mercenaries, experts in virtually any combat scenario.
*[[Krall]]
*: The Necris use these formidable reptilian beasts for the pacification of newly conquered planets.
*[[Necris]]
*: The secretive Phayder Corporation developed the Necris process to produce this elite group of assassins.
*[[The Corrupt|Liandri]]
*: Combat modified versions of the Liandri Mining Corporation's world-class security drones.

These teams have probably been in the game at one point, but appear to have been cut:
*[[Thunder Crash]]
*: Even though Malcolm is present in the game, he and his team of experienced fighters do not participate as opponents in the storyline. It is possible that at least Malcolm will return, since there is unused voice clips that include taunts on the [http://unrealtournament3.com official website].
*[[Juggernauts]]
*: These heavily armored, gene-boosted combatants would have returned from [[UT2004]]. They mostly consist of disgruntled prisoners and criminals.
*[[Nakhti]]
*: The Nakhti possess far advanced technology and are well skilled in fighting. They are featured in [[UC2]].

* Facemask

==Maps==
This time around, Epic chose to step away from the wildly different maps seen in previous tournaments, and instead create a few cohesive worlds and tie them together with their level design. 40 maps shipped with the game and 13 of them are [[Warfare]] maps.

==Bonus Content==
Before any official bonus content was released, Epic "cooked" a few user created maps and mutators for use with the PS3 version to give those users something to play with. (All custom content must be created on a PC.)

On the 27th of March 2008, Epic released their first bonus pack, which contains three maps: [[DM-Morbias]], [[CTF-FacingWorlds]] and [[CTF-Searchlight]].

The Xbox 360 version of the game has 2 new characters (Kana of the Twin Souls and Nova of the Liandri) as well as the Bonus Pack maps and 5 exclusive maps, which are: [[WAR-ColdHarbour]], [[DM-KoosBarge]], [[VCTF-Rails]] and 2 "Necrified" versions of VCTF-Suspense and WAR-DownTown.<br>
It is unknown if these exclusives will become available for the other platforms at a later date.

===Community===
Epic planned to use UT3 to bring more and more people into the Unreal community, with strong community integration out of the box. In-game lobbies were planned for Warfare, and game stats integration would have allowed you to find similarly-skilled opponents via the UT3 server browser. However, none of these elements shipped with the final game.

A global rankings system does exist to allow clans and other players to compare scores.

UT3 mod teams will, of course, be able to take advantage of the improvements in Unreal Engine 3's UnrealEd content creation tool, including the new UnrealKismet scripting environment, visual material editor and UnrealCascade particle engine.

PS3 users can now download specially cooked versions of various maps and mutators, provided the author supplies them. However, there are some limitations, and custom sounds or music cannot be supported in PS3 versions of the maps due to a proprietary sound codec being used.

The XBox 360 version does not appear to support custom content, but Epic might try to provide certain user-created content in the future. It does, however, currently have exclusive maps and characters not on the PC or PS3 versions, as well as a split-screen mode.

===Popularity In The PC Market===
Using the data collected from Xfire users, as of June 19th 2008, UT3 is ranked 91st in the list of most played PC games in the world; with a combined total of 97,000 minutes played per day by a total of over 1,500 Xfire users. On 13th October 2007, UT3's rank peaked at 19th place. Due to the constant change in number of players, these values change at peak periods, such as weekends and vacations. Recently UT3's rank usually remains between 90 and 100 in the list of the most played games in the world by Xfire users.

Interestingly, these statistics show that Unreal Tournament 3 is not as popular as its predecessor UT2004; with UT2004, as of June 19th 2008, being ranked the 53rd most played PC game in the world, with over 2,300 players per day playing for a combined total of over 215,000 minutes. Recently, UT2004's rank usually remains between 50th and 60th.

===AI & Voice===
{{cleanup|Section|This is still written in future tense. If you have any information about the AI & voice now, please rewrite this section.}}
UT3 will bring major advances in the artificial intelligence that controls UT bots, as well as the way in which players communicate with them. UT3 players will be able to give bots specific orders using their own voices. Whereas in UT or UT2004 you'd use the voice menu to tell your bots to "attack", you can now give orders like "There's a sniper on the tower, go get him". Bots will also respond to particular questions. For example, if you asked "Is there anyone in the cave?", they might reply "No, the cave is clear".

Apparently, this feature is quite buggy however. It is reported to work best for users who have a clear North American accent.

UT3 bots' personalities will also make them better suited to different in-game tasks.

'''The Corrupt''' are a team of [[cybernetic]] [[Liandri Grand Tournament]] competitors. They are [[Humans|human]]-built and are entered and owned by the [[Liandri Mining Corporation]].

Members all look robotic, but are based on diverse designs. Many were defeated and reprogrammed rebels from the [[LBX-7683 Robot Uprising]]. These were originally designed for mining and heavy labor. Others were originally built for advertisement or entertainment purposes; their designs were usually inspired by the human female shape. Some were designed to be warriors from the ground up.

The Corrupt are perhaps best known for their leader, [[Xan Kriegor]].

'''The Corrupt''' are a team of [[cybernetic]] [[Liandri Grand Tournament]] competitors. They are [[Humans|human]]-built and are entered and owned by the [[Liandri Mining Corporation]].

Members all look robotic, but are based on diverse designs. Many were defeated and reprogrammed rebels from the [[LBX-7683 Robot Uprising]]. These were originally designed for mining and heavy labor. Others were originally built for advertisement or entertainment purposes; their designs were usually inspired by the human female shape. Some were designed to be warriors from the ground up.

The Corrupt are perhaps best known for their leader, [[Xan Kriegor]].

'''Bio:''' Quantum reaction times, an alloyed grid support frame, and S-PLG targeting software make the Nova model a fearsome opponent.

'''Nova:''' One of the two new characters introduced in the Xbox 360 version of UT3, Nova brings a middle-ground to the Liandri bot chassis options, looking more substantial than the almost skeletal Cathode look, but more toned and combat-ready than the overweight look of the Aspect design. His new head design brings a more fierce, and somewhat skull-like look and a narrow, pointed, almost Xan-like visor.

=Jihan Nyhn=
Jihan Nyhn is a powerful arms smuggler not much is known about, as he mostly functions as a background story for the Iron Guard team in [[UT]]. He was known to be a supporter of guerillas fighting [[NEG]] oppression on other planets. Because of his line of work, he hired a team of personal bodyguard. This didn't prevent an unknown assassin to kill Nyhn somewhere before 2293, the year of [[UT]].

After Nyhn's assassination, his team of bodyguards was left without a job. To vent their aggression they joined the [[Liandri Grand Tournament]] as the "Iron Guard". [[Lauren]], said to be Jihan Nyhn's lover at the time, suspected the [[Liandri Mining Corporation]] to be behind his death. She joins the Iron Guard to fight in the Liandri sponsored Tournament, hoping to come close enough to uncover the truth.

By 2302, the year of [[UT2003]], it becomes known Lauren was in fact involved with [[Brock]] since high school, suggesting the rumor of her relationship with Nyhn was incorrect. By this time Nyhn seems all but forgotten, and exactly how he was assassinated, and by whom, remains unclear.

:Trivia: ''jihan'' is the code that unlocks Ariel in [[UT3]]. See [[Unreal Tournament 3#Characters|this]] for details.

Unreal Tournament 3

2008-08-29T01:17:39Z

Jamesmarshall: /* Iron Guard */ Ariel link

'''Unreal Tournament 3''', also known as '''UT3''' (previously codenamed '''Envy''' and also formerly named '''Unreal Tournament 2007''', '''UT2007''', or '''UT2k7''') is [[Epic Games]]' sequel to [[Unreal Tournament 2004]]. Published by [[Midway Games]], UT3 is powered by Epic's new [[Unreal Engine 3]]. The game was released in late November 2007 for the PC, December 2007 (NA) and February 2008 (EU) for PS3, and July 2008 for XBox 360. The Mac/Linux versions are currently scheduled for an undetermined date in 2008.

==History==
UT3 was revealed to the world in the May 2005 issue of Computer Gaming World magazine. The first news of it began to appear on or around March 27, 2005. The game was originally codenamed UT "Envy", but later, around May 29, 2005, it was revealed that the name had been changed to '''Unreal Tournament 2007'''. It was not until January 25, 2007 at the Midway Gamer's Day event in Las Vegas that it was revealed that the game's name had been changed to '''Unreal Tournament 3'''. This change was met with great enthusiasm from the Unreal fan base.

Many changes have been made to the originally announced design of the game. For example, a game mode named Conquest that was originally announced was later complemented by [[Unreal Warfare]] and then replaced by it altogether. There was also an Onslaught 2.0 announcement which has also been rolled into the all-encompassing [[Warfare]] gametype.

Unreal Tournament 3 promises a return to the "feel" of the original Unreal Tournament. Epic aims to make the game more in-your-face, fast-paced, and less "floaty". To accomplish this, gravity has been increased and dodge-jumping has been removed. However, dodging, double jumps, and wall dodging will remain with their effect somewhat diminished due to the newly increased gravity. Gameplay in UT3 stresses close combat more than its predecessors UT2003 and UT2004. Many of the weapons are more effective up close. Epic stresses that the aim of UT3 is to create a whole new - and better - game, rather than merely a prettier UT2004. In addition to this, old favorites from the original UT such as jump boots and the ability to feign death returned in UT3.

===Beta Demo===
At Midnight on Friday, October 12th, 2007, Fileplanet began preloading the game to its subscribers.

The demo was unlocked and released on FilePlanet at 12:35 PM on Friday, October 12th. The release was apparently several hours earlier than intended, probably in response to a Norwegian site, "IT Avisen", leaking the demo approximately 5 hours earlier than FilePlanet.

The demo, which is Version 3464 according to the startup logs, comes with 3 maps: [[DM-ShangriLa]], [[DM-HeatRay]], and [[VCTF-Suspense]]. Of note is that DM-HeatRay was the first taste of the [[Necris vehicles]], specifically, the [[Darkwalker]].

Epic called the release an "Open Beta Demo", and thus it represents just a glimpse of how the game will play. At the release of the demo, Epic promised to fix issues based on user feedback. Many issues that were reported during the beta demo period were fixed or began to be fixed in the first patch.

===Final Demo===
It is possible that Epic might not release an updated demo, as their current plans do not include one at this time. If it does occur it will likely be after Patch 4 at the earliest.

===Release Details===
On November 12th, 2007 (a full seven days prior to the NA release), the German version of the game was released to German retailers. In order to comply with German regulations for public game sales, the game has had blood, gibs and headshots removed from the game. Very little else was changed except for the localization to German.

The US retail release came on November 19th, 2007. This, however, was the "ship" date, and thus many stores did not receive physical product until November 20th, 2007. The Canadian release came on November 20, and stores put it on shelves the very next day. The European release came on November 23, 2007.

===Reception===
Reception to the beta demo was generally positive, with most people agreeing that Epic has "got it right." There is some notable dissension from the crowd who enjoyed UT2003 and UT2004 though, particularly about the removal of dodge-jumping.

Reception to the game on PC has been mostly favorable from the community and reasonably warm from reviewers, with an average score somewhere around 9/10. Warfare in particular has been praised for being a more strategic version of [[Onslaught]]. There were, however, several key complaints about the game.

* Lackluster Single-Player and no Tournament mode
*: While the Single-Player was hyped a lot, it failed to deliver. It was too long and it completely replaced the old Tournament mode. It also had awkward explanations for classic arena gametypes, like '''[[FLaG]]s''' ('''F'''ield '''La'''ttice '''G'''enerators) and that scoring points ran out enemy [[respawner]]s.
* Awkward and simple UI
*: The UI felt very awkward and was very simple compared to previous UT games. There were very little options available for common settings, and overall the UI felt very unfinished. Many settings can be changed via INI, however often these settings do not save, revert, or appear to have no effect. Epic has promised that the UI would receive some improvements from the first few patches.
* Astoundingly bad Server Admin launch
*: Perhaps the worst problem, UT3 being a multiplayer game primarily, are the problems with the server admin tools. The initial release of the Windows dedicated server package was littered with bugs preventing a significant number of hosts from running servers. The Linux dedicated server was released a month after the retail game, on December 18, 2007 which left many hosts without any UT3 package to offer. Web Admin was also missing from both the original release and the first patch, though it was released alongside Patch 2 and has recieved steady updates since.
* Modding support simpified
*: Another key complaint with the game is that much of what used to be done in UnrealScript has been moved to native code, supposedly as a way to improve performance on consoles. This, however, has made it increasingly difficult to develop proper mods and mutators for the game in many instances.

===Collectors Edition===
On October 26, 2007, a limited collector's edition of the game was announced to be released on PC. This version of the game features an exclusive collector's edition tin and a hardcover art book. A bonus DVD is also included, featuring more than 20 hours of Unreal Engine 3 Toolkit video tutorials, containing anti-WarHawK software (disabling video playback in isolated cases), the history of the Unreal Tournament series, and behind-the-scenes footage of the making of Unreal Tournament 3. The Limited Collector's Edition is being sold in the United States, Europe, South Africa, Australia and most other territories.

===Linux===
Epic has promised to release a Linux installer for the game in the future that would work with the standard Windows disc.

===System Requirements===
;Minimum System Requirements: Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista, 2.0+ GHZ Single Core Processor, 512 Mbytes of System RAM, NVIDIA 6200+ or ATI Radeon 9600+ Video Card, 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space
;Recommended System Requirements: 2.4+ GHZ Dual Core Processor, 1 GBytes of System RAM, NVIDIA 7800GTX+ or ATIx13000+ Video Card, 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space

==Game Content==
===Engine===
'''Unreal Tournament 3''' uses [[Unreal Engine 3]].

===Version History===
Currently (August 13th, 2008) the latest official version of UT3 is Version 1.3, AKA Version 3601.

Based on statements Epic have made on the UT3 Mailing Lists, we can safely assume there will be at least one more patch after Patch 3.

===Music===
[[Rom Di Prisco]] and [[Jesper Kyd]] composed the UT3 soundtrack. [[Kevin Riepl]] also had a major hand in music production for the game.

An official game soundtrack was released November 20, 2007. The 2-CD set contains the ingame music, done by Kyd and DiPrisco, which feature a number of remixes from previous Unreal Tournament games.
Not every track are present in the soundtrack. All cutscene music is missing, as are the themes to WAR-Downtown and CTF-Coret are missing, due to those tracks being composed by Kevin Riepl. These tracks are, however, [http://kevinriepl.com/ut.htm available from his site], along with some songs from E3 videos and other early demonstrations.

==Gametypes==
*[[UT3 Single Player|Single Player]]
*: A five act storyline takes the place of the old tournament ladder system from previous games. The campaign contains in-engine rendered cutscenes along with the ability to gather "cards" that can be used to gain certain advantages in maps by completing side objectives. Online four player co-op is available for the campaign.
*[[Deathmatch]]
*: A free for all killing match between multiple players, there are no hoverboards, only one specialized vehicle in specialized maps. The vehicle is the necris darkwalker. Everyone trying to get the most kills.
*[[Team Deathmatch]]
*: A deathmatch (see above) between two teams of players. Both teams trying to get the most kills.
*[[Capture the Flag]]
*: Both teams have to capture the other teams FLaG, or Field Lattice Generator. No vehicles usually symetrical maps.
*[[Vehicle Capture the Flag]]
*: It's CTF with vehicles and the hoverboard.
*[[Warfare]]
*: Both sides have to destroy the other sides core node. Capturing bonus nodes on the way. Has vehicles, hoverboard.
*[[Duel]]
*: Fight between two players or a player and a bot on a deathmatch map.

==Weapons==
*[[Deployables#Unreal Tournament 3|Deployables]]
*: Strategy-themed devices including a Stasis Field, Energy Shield, Spidermine Trap, EMP, and Shaped Charge. All are dropped by the [[Necris]] [[Nightshade]] vehicle except the Shaped Charge, which is carried by hand.
*[[Translocator]]
*: This [[Unreal series]] favorite returns to the [[Capture the Flag]] gametype, except for maps that contain vehicles, in which the hoverboard becomes the secondary method of transportation. There are more charges than UT2004 (7 compared to 6) and they refill faster. (About one per second.) Also, the disc has a flatter trajectory than UT2004 and it fires farther than UT, but not quite as far at UT2004.
*[[Impact Hammer]]
*: This favorite from [[Unreal Tournament]] makes a comeback with an EMP alt-fire that severely damages vehicles and can remove powerups from other players. One of the newer effects of the Impact Hammer is that if you get several kills with it, blood and gore smear over the hammer - eventually making it more red than orange.
*[[Enforcer]]
*: Your starting weapon, the Enforcer is a pistol with rapid fire. Secondary fire shoots a less accurate triple burst. You spawn with one enforcer, though if a player is killed while holding the weapon it is dropped, and picking up a second enforcer allows you to hold two at a time. As a homage to the original Enforcer's alternate fire, they now turn sideways when you are close to an opponent.
*[[Bio Rifle]]
*: This weapon fires a big slow arcing gob of sludge that can instantly take out a heavily armed opponent or stick to floors and walls, then break apart into smaller pieces creating an instant minefield. Players with a large amount of slime attached to them will get rapidly "chipped" in damage, but they will have a second or two to fight back before dying, giving them a chance to take out the enemy who hit them.
*[[Shock Rifle]]
*: A classic weapon, the Shock Rifle fires an instant-hit beam of energy when primary fire is used, and a floating ball of energy when secondary fire is used. Players can also shoot the ball of energy with the beam to create a shock combo, dealing intense amounts of damage in a small radius (enough to kill a player wearing even medium armor). When compared to past titles, the shock balls have been sped up from [[UT2004]] to be more closely match the rate of the original [[UT]]. The primary rate of fire has also been reduced. Shock combos will now suck up ragdolls in a small vortex, and gib them if it does so.
*[[Link Gun]]
*: The link gun shoots small fast moving plasma balls similar to those in the original [[UT]]. The secondary shoots a straight beam of energy that can kill foes, heal vehicles and charge power nodes.
*[[Minigun|Stinger Minigun]]
*: The stinger from the original [[Unreal]] replaces the [[Minigun]] as a fast firing semi-projectile weapon. The gun has two modes, a fast but inaccurate spread of [[Tarydium]] crystal shards that hits instantly, and a slower firing more powerful projectile shot that can also sometimes nail opponents to the wall with the killing blow.
*[[Flak Cannon]]
*: Primary fire for this weapon releases a number of chunks of metal, tearing enemies into shreds. The secondary fire releases an undetonated flak shell that detonates and turns to shrapnel on impact. Compared to past titles, the primary fire bounces more and has a much tighter spread, while the flak shell does not travel as far as it did in [[UT2004]], but it has a much higher upward arc.
*[[Rocket Launcher]]
*: The new rocket launcher combines the instant rockets ability from [[UT2004]], and the grenades from [[UT]]. As in [[UT2004]] primary fire shoots instant rockets, secondary fire loads rockets, and hitting primary while holding secondary will switch to spiral fire mode with a single tap, grenades with two, or back to a spread with three. As in UT2004, rockets can lock onto vehicles. This feature has been visibly improved to help take out vehicles, with much better locking and turning ability.
*[[Sniper Rifle]]
*: The classic sniper rifle has returned to replace the [[Lightning Gun]] as the primary long range weapon. It now features a red-colored tracer, and Bolt Action reloading. It's comparably as strong as UT's Sniper Rifle, however, the rate of fire is not as fast as UT's, but it is much faster than the Sniper Rifle or Lightning Gun in [[UT2004]].
*[[AVRiL|Longbow AVRiL]]
*: The AVRiL is now hand loaded. Its tracking beam can be used to "herd" [[Deployables#Spidermine_Trap|Spider Mines]], much like the alt-fire on the [[Mine Layer]] in [[UT2004]], and the tracking beam is also visible to combat problems where a person could get shot with AVRiLs and not know where the enemy is. If a friendly teammate fires an AVRiL and they have not locked onto a target after a few seconds, it is possible to use your own AVRiL to lock onto a target with the targeting beam, which will actually cause the missile to come flying back towards its new target!
*[[Redeemer]]
*: Acting as the sole super weapon in this title, the redeemer is a rocket-launcher type weapon that fires a small nuclear warhead, capable of killing anybody within range regardless of how they are protected. It takes a few seconds to fully prepare and arm, and it takes up a large portion of your visibility as it is doing so. Primary fire just releases the warhead, while secondary fire gives you the ability to guide it. If you are close to the epicenter, but not directly exposed to damage, you may be knocked off your feet for a moment, as if you had fallen off the hoverboard. As always, a good shot can take the redeemer down, giving both the firing player and the sharpshooter a "Denied!" award.

==Pickups==
===Powerups===
All Powerups are dropped when the player is killed, or if they are knocked off of the player with the Altfire of the Impact Hammer.
*[[Jump Boots]]
*:The Jump Boots return from UT, and are activated by double jumping. It is possible to dodgejump as you could in UT2004, if and only if you have these boots.
*[[Berserk]]
*:Increases weapon rate of fire speed. Combined with the Damage Amplifier, the game will give you a "Juggernaut" award. Some weapons will not fire faster (Stinger Primary), in which case they will be powered up as if they had a Damage Amplifier.
*[[Damage Amplifier]]
*:Gives double damage. Combined with the Berserk, the game will give you a "Juggernaut" award.
*[[Invulnerability]]
*:Grants you total invincibility from all things except for falling off the map or otherwise instant kill zones.
*[[Invisibility]]
*:Makes the player very difficult/impossible to see. Note that on Detail Level 1, players literally <i>ARE</i> completely invisible!

===Health===
*[[Health Vial]] - Small and Green. Heals 5 Health, up to a maximum of 199.
*[[Health Pack]] - Large, White Health Packs that somewhat resemble UT2004's Kegs, but a bit more rounded and without the blue. Heals 25 Health, up to a maximum of 100.
*[[Big Keg O' Health]] - As always, the Keg of health provides an instant +100 Health boost, up to 199 health.

===Armor===
*[[Shield Belt]]
*:The Shield Belt returns, although it provides only 100 points of protection. However, unlike the UT200x shields, the shield belt will absorb 100% of damage, until it is destroyed. If you are wearing a shield belt and in a vehicle when it is destroyed, you will not die instantly - instead, you will be ejected from the vehicle, but it will cost the Shield Belt.
*[[Armor Vest]]
*:The Armor Vest provides 50 points of protection, and absorbs 75% of taken damage.
*[[Thigh Pads]]
*:The Thigh Pads provide 30 points of protection, and absorbs 50% of taken damage.
*[[Helmet]]
*:The Helmet provides 20 points of protection, and absorbs 50% of taken damage. One feature this piece of armor has that is unique, is its ability to block headshots. Assuming you have at least 1 point of Helmet Armor on, if your character suffers a headshot, it will not affect him or damage him at all - however, the helmet will be destroyed.

==Vehicles==
===Axon===
*[[Scorpion]]
*: The primary fire shoots electrified balls that explode on contact; these are particularly effective against other vehicles, but especially against the [[Manta]], [[Viper]], and [[Hoverboard]], upon which they home in on. It also now features a speed boost feature. You can eject from the Scorpion when using it in this manner, and it will blow up and detonate upon impact. If it kills someone due to the explosion, the game will reward you with a "Bullseye!" award.
*[[Hellbender]]
*: The new rendition of the hellbender places the driver in control over the skymine turret, while the rear turret functions differently from [[UT2004]], being more like a standard turret instead of the twin-beam configuration. The rear turret can either be rapidly fired for low damage or given a brief moment to recharge for more power.
*[[Manta]]
*: In addition to a visual update, players will no longer be able to ride on top of the side fans. The Manta is also unable to hit players without crouching down anymore unless the player is on a hoverboard or a slope.
*[[Raptor]]
*: Besides the visual update, the Raptor now seems to be a bit more responsive to maneuvering, and both the rate of fire and locking ability for its missiles have dramatically improved.
*[[Cicada]]
*: Sporting a much bulkier and boxier look, the Cicada is mostly unchanged, however, ascending and descending seems even faster than before. Missiles can still be charged and held with the Altfire.
*[[Paladin]]
*: Visually much improved from it's UT 2004 debut. The shield will no longer remain deployed if it goes through buildings or other level geometry, and it will get dimmer with sustained damage to allow visual estimation of how charged the shield is. Furthermore, using the shield combo to knock away nearby infantry is now instantaneous, as well as will deplete the shield slightly, taking about six combos before the shield is down. It seems to be slightly faster, as well.
*[[SPMA|Hellfire SPMA]]
*: The skymine turret is now controlled by the driver when the paladin is undeployed. There is no longer a passanger/gunner seat. The camera can now crush and kill people if it hits them (or even if they simply run into it!) and it also cannot be launched as far upward - however, to compensate, the bombing is considerably more tightly packed. There is now a visual arc that shows what path the shell will roughly take, assuming that the area is strikeable - an area that cannot be bombed will not show this targeting arc.
*[[Goliath]]
*: The Goliath tank works effectively the same to its UT2004 equivalent. It can climb over small obstacles now, such as other vehicles, and has a much higher upward firing range than its UT2004 counterpart. Its shell range has been decreased somewhat, but they also have less randomness in each shot.
*[[Leviathan]]
*: This mobile fortress still features its devastating main cannon and has added distinct weapon fire to each of its four turrets rather than UT2004's link-like projectile. Each turret also has an alternate shield function. It has considerably more armor and the Ion Cannon takes nearly twice as long to deploy, compared to the UT2004 version. Each turret can be individually destroyed as well.

===Necris===
The Necris have six vehicles at their disposal:
*[[Viper]]
*: A single passenger speeder. The primary gun fires projectiles that bounce off walls, similar to [[Ripper]] projectiles in the original [[UT]]. The vehicle can also spread out like a real life viper to hover high in the sky. Like the Scorpion, it can be used on kamikaze missions, and ram vehicles or targets from the air.
*[[Darkwalker]]
*: This lumbering tripod has tendril-like legs that allow them to climb a wider variety of terrain compared to other vehicles. The primary weapon is an extremely powerful twin laser beam that shoots out a line of plasma. The secondary fire "screams" knocking players off their feet and out of some vehicles (Manta, Viper) or force others out of the way (Scavenger). The vehicle also features a secondary gunner position that functions similar to a Plasma Turret.
*[[Nemesis]]
*: The Nemesis is the Necris answer to the Goliath, and it features an instant hit twin laser beam with zoom. The vehicle also supports different modes. When you crouch down the vehicle moves faster, but it will completely lock your aim forward, with no motion at all except for vehicular manipulation. You can also rise up to attack, but this makes you more of a target. You can also rise up even more to increase the beams' rate of fire... but this makes you nearly immobile, roughly on par with the Leviathan, as well as a very large and obvious target.
*[[Fury]]
*: The Fury is a single-seated flying vehicle that specializes in shooting down other air units. This vehicle can dodge, allowing you to barrel roll out of the way. Primary fire is a hitscan beam attack, similar in nature to the Darkwalker but with less range, and with a lock-on ability once struck as well as a very quick recharge time. Altfire allows a quick burst of speed to get out of the way of missiles or shots heading your way.
*[[Nightshade]]
*: Seemingly the Necris answer to the Axon's Hellbender, this stealth-based vehicle primarily has [[Deployables#Unreal Tournament 3|deployables]] as weapons: [[Deployables#Spidermine_Trap|Spider Mines]], [[Deployables#EMP|EMP Mines]], [[Deployables#Shield_Generator|Shield Generators]], and the [[Deployables#Stasis_Field|Stasis Field]], commonly called the "Slow Volume." Its only other weapon is a short-range beam similar to the Link Gun's, with very limited range that heals vehicles and nodes at a greatly accelerated speed. It can uncloak to go faster, toggled with Altfire.
*[[Scavenger]]
*: This spherical vehicle can extend its legs and pull itself up terrain or retract them and roll on the ground like a ball. It also has a spinning attack that is effective against infantry. A small ball hovers around the vehicle; it is this orb that attacks directly and not the Scavenger, which acts more like a targeting device for this orb to attack. It can move at great speeds while rolling on the ground, but has little control as a result. Ramming into other vehicles at great speed while rolling as a ball damages them considerably.

===Other===
*[[Hoverboard]]
*: Pressing the translocator button will cause the player to hop on a hovering skate-board like device that is used mainly for transportation and is present only in Warfare and Vehicle Capture the Flag maps. The flag or orb may be carried on the Hoverboard, but any amount of damage, even one point, will send the player tumbling (this includes falling damage) in addition to dropping the orb or flag, if they carried it, unless the player is currently wearing a Shieldbelt. A player who falls off will be prone for a moment before being able to get up, which could naturally be fatal if there's opposition in the area. This also extends to grappling onto a vehicle, so if the carrier is shot from high up as they're attached to a raptor or other flying vehicle, it is generally lethal unless the player has lots of armor and health.
*[[Turrets#Unreal Tournament 3|Turrets]]
*: These formerly stationary one-man laser cannons are now equipped with rails, offering the turret limited mobility in order to help prevent attackers from taking advantage of the terrain by obtaining angles of shot that cannot be avoided. New to UT3 are Rocket Turrets.

Originally an [[Axon]] version of the [[Nightshade]], called the [[Stealthbender]], was planned. For some reason (maybe because the bots still don't care whether things are invisible) it was dropped from the game, though.

==Teams==
Teams present in UT3 are the following:
*[[Ronin]]
*: The only survivors of the infamous Twin Souls massacre, bound together out of a sense of duty, honor, and revenge.
*[[Iron Guard]]
*: A group of highly skilled and well trained mercenaries, experts in virtually any combat scenario.
*[[Krall]]
*: The Necris use these formidable reptilian beasts for the pacification of newly conquered planets.
*[[Necris]]
*: The secretive Phayder Corporation developed the Necris process to produce this elite group of assassins.
*[[The Corrupt|Liandri]]
*: Combat modified versions of the Liandri Mining Corporation's world-class security drones.

These teams have probably been in the game at one point, but appear to have been cut:
*[[Thunder Crash]]
*: Even though Malcolm is present in the game, he and his team of experienced fighters do not participate as opponents in the storyline. It is possible that at least Malcolm will return, since there is unused voice clips that include taunts on the [http://unrealtournament3.com official website].
*[[Juggernauts]]
*: These heavily armored, gene-boosted combatants would have returned from [[UT2004]]. They mostly consist of disgruntled prisoners and criminals.
*[[Nakhti]]
*: The Nakhti possess far advanced technology and are well skilled in fighting. They are featured in [[UC2]].

===Characters===
New to the Unreal Tournament games, UT3 now includes the option to fully customize your character. Players are able to switch out several armor pieces:
* Facemask
* Helmet
* Goggles
* Shoulderpads
* Torso
* Arms
* Thighs
* Boots

==Maps==
This time around, Epic chose to step away from the wildly different maps seen in previous tournaments, and instead create a few cohesive worlds and tie them together with their level design. 40 maps shipped with the game and 13 of them are [[Warfare]] maps.

==Bonus Content==
Before any official bonus content was released, Epic "cooked" a few user created maps and mutators for use with the PS3 version to give those users something to play with. (All custom content must be created on a PC.)

On the 27th of March 2008, Epic released their first bonus pack, which contains three maps: [[DM-Morbias]], [[CTF-FacingWorlds]] and [[CTF-Searchlight]].

The Xbox 360 version of the game has 2 new characters (Kana of the Twin Souls and Nova of the Liandri) as well as the Bonus Pack maps and 5 exclusive maps, which are: [[WAR-ColdHarbour]], [[DM-KoosBarge]], [[VCTF-Rails]] and 2 "Necrified" versions of VCTF-Suspense and WAR-DownTown.<br>
It is unknown if these exclusives will become available for the other platforms at a later date.

===Community===
Epic planned to use UT3 to bring more and more people into the Unreal community, with strong community integration out of the box. In-game lobbies were planned for Warfare, and game stats integration would have allowed you to find similarly-skilled opponents via the UT3 server browser. However, none of these elements shipped with the final game.

A global rankings system does exist to allow clans and other players to compare scores.

UT3 mod teams will, of course, be able to take advantage of the improvements in Unreal Engine 3's UnrealEd content creation tool, including the new UnrealKismet scripting environment, visual material editor and UnrealCascade particle engine.

PS3 users can now download specially cooked versions of various maps and mutators, provided the author supplies them. However, there are some limitations, and custom sounds or music cannot be supported in PS3 versions of the maps due to a proprietary sound codec being used.

The XBox 360 version does not appear to support custom content, but Epic might try to provide certain user-created content in the future. It does, however, currently have exclusive maps and characters not on the PC or PS3 versions, as well as a split-screen mode.

===Popularity In The PC Market===
Using the data collected from Xfire users, as of June 19th 2008, UT3 is ranked 91st in the list of most played PC games in the world; with a combined total of 97,000 minutes played per day by a total of over 1,500 Xfire users. On 13th October 2007, UT3's rank peaked at 19th place. Due to the constant change in number of players, these values change at peak periods, such as weekends and vacations. Recently UT3's rank usually remains between 90 and 100 in the list of the most played games in the world by Xfire users.

Interestingly, these statistics show that Unreal Tournament 3 is not as popular as its predecessor UT2004; with UT2004, as of June 19th 2008, being ranked the 53rd most played PC game in the world, with over 2,300 players per day playing for a combined total of over 215,000 minutes. Recently, UT2004's rank usually remains between 50th and 60th.

===AI & Voice===
{{cleanup|Section|This is still written in future tense. If you have any information about the AI & voice now, please rewrite this section.}}
UT3 will bring major advances in the artificial intelligence that controls UT bots, as well as the way in which players communicate with them. UT3 players will be able to give bots specific orders using their own voices. Whereas in UT or UT2004 you'd use the voice menu to tell your bots to "attack", you can now give orders like "There's a sniper on the tower, go get him". Bots will also respond to particular questions. For example, if you asked "Is there anyone in the cave?", they might reply "No, the cave is clear".

Apparently, this feature is quite buggy however. It is reported to work best for users who have a clear North American accent.

UT3 bots' personalities will also make them better suited to different in-game tasks.

=Jihan Nyhn=
Jihan Nyhn is a powerful arms smuggler not much is known about, as he mostly functions as a background story for the Iron Guard team in [[UT]]. He was known to be a supporter of guerillas fighting [[NEG]] oppression on other planets. Because of his line of work, he hired a team of personal bodyguard. This didn't prevent an unknown assassin to kill Nyhn somewhere before 2293, the year of [[UT]].

After Nyhn's assassination, his team of bodyguards was left without a job. To vent their aggression they joined the [[Liandri Grand Tournament]] as the "Iron Guard". [[Lauren]], said to be Jihan Nyhn's lover at the time, suspected the [[Liandri Mining Corporation]] to be behind his death. She joins the Iron Guard to fight in the Liandri sponsored Tournament, hoping to come close enough to uncover the truth.

By 2302, the year of [[UT2003]], it becomes known Lauren was in fact involved with [[Brock]] since high school, suggesting the rumor of her relationship with Nyhn was incorrect. By this time Nyhn seems all but forgotten, and exactly how he was assassinated, and by whom, remains unclear.

:Trivia: ''jihan'' is the code that unlocks Ariel in [[UT3]]. See [[Unreal Tournament 3#Characters|this]] for details.

Talk:Necris Black Legion

2008-08-29T01:12:47Z

Jamesmarshall: /* Alanna */ Added unlock code

==U2004 Necris==
I added UT2004's Necris to this article. I don't remember if they are technically Black Legion, but they are minor characters undeserving of their own team article, but they should be mentioned somewhere. (Actually I'm not even sure if they are introduced as a "team" or just individuals scouting the competition.) We still need to find an intro text for the team/"team" and the individual, classification (in their tables), and birth dates if available maybe? [[User:Retodon8|Retodon8]] 11:22, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

:The individuals added in ECE are the only true Necris in UT2004 I'm aware of. The Black Legion in 2k4 isn't the Necris Black Legion, but is rather composed of various human subspecies (Homo Sapiens Medusae, etc) and carried over from 2k3. And, well, 2k3 is 2k3. [[User:Gryph|Gryph]] 14:26, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

::UT2004's Necris Character descriptions:

::'''Kragoth''' - After an absence of several years, the Necris are preparing a return to the Tournament. Known as the 'Star Slayer,' Kragoth is a dread Necris Phayder assassin. He is rumored to have single handedly killed the entire crew of an ICV Star Cruiser.

::'''Thannis''' - After an absence of several years, the Necris are preparing a return to the Tournament. Thannis is participating to scout the competition.

::This is indeed nice foreshadowing for UT3, huh? :)

::To answer the question though, no, the 2k4 Necris are not Black Legion - they might be [[Necris Black Legion]] though (Kragoth definitely is, since his description is nearly identical to the one in UT), but only time will tell. In 2k4, AFAIK, they're "unaffiliated".--[[User:Dark Pulse|Dark Pulse]] 16:20, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

:::Thanks for looking up the info, but I had already found and added it. I didn't think about writing about it here after that, sorry. :( The only things still missing (I think) are their weapon preferences.

:::When I say "Black Legion", I was referring to the "NBL". (Actually I thought they were both called simply "BL" in the games, but someone added "N" here for the purpose of disambiguating, which I figured was a good idea.) It probably would've been better if Epic realised they'd already used that name. At least, I assume they didn't, because it's somewhat confusing now. I added them to the NBL because of (see above), for simplicity's sake, because like you said Kragoth is a returnee. Compare with [[Iron Guard]] and Mercenaries (and Brock and Lauren) which are equivalents, sort of. Kragoth probably still works for the Phayder in UT2004, so... it makes sense to me.

::::(Edit inbetween: I just check in UT, and I was right, they are just called the "Black Legion", without the Necris. Both teams are identically named. [[User:Retodon8|Retodon8]] 11:01, 18 August 2007 (EDT))

:::And yes, it was a nice thing to add by Epic, the foreshadowing of UT3 you mentioned. :) (Maybe in UT3 the Necris will simply be called "Necris" because it doesn't seem like they'll be in the Tournament as much as fighting their war, meaning they are no "team" as such. If so, these two loose guys that would better fit on that page than on NBL... but we can always move them if that happens, and then I'm still not sure if that would be for the better. [[User:Retodon8|Retodon8]] 17:56, 17 August 2007 (EDT)
==UT - Necris Phayder - Leeb==
There is a character called Leeb in the UT DM single leader, his bot classifications is Necris Phayder.
:"Liandri suspects Leeb to be behind Phayder operations in the Sol sector. Believed to be responsible for over 543 politically motivated killings. Terminate with extreme prejudice."
:should i add it to this page??? or somewhere else? (dunno much about Necris).
--[[User:Pwyzpk|Pwyzpk]] 07:04, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

:Since he has his own background story, I say he should be added. Gopher it! :) [[User:Retodon8|Retodon8]] 09:11, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

but no information show that he is in this team from the description... i'm not sure if add or not.
any suggestion? (where is better to add this character? or just here?)--[[User:Pwyzpk|Pwyzpk]] 10:12, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

:It mentions he was behind Phayder operations, and since the Phayder sent the Black Legion as well... I suppose it makes sense, although that doesn't necessarily mean he's part of the team of course. Actually generally teams have 8 members, and he'd be the 9th, but... it wouldn't make sense to create a new article just for one bot either. Maybe just add a "Notes: May not be part of Black Legion" or something like that. [[User:Retodon8|Retodon8]] 11:01, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

== Another Kragoth and another Visse ==

Kragoth and Visse both appear in the single player ladder, sporting different biographies than their team counterparts. They use the same skins, but the SP characters have slightly different info, like a favorite weapon, and where they appear in the SP ladder. Should I put the biographies under the Other Characters heading under the same names? ---[[User:Angelofdeath|Angelofdeath]] 16:20, 30 August 2007 (EDT)

you mean they are not the Kragoth and Visse in Necris Black Legion? aren't they the same??
if they are not the same we better not add anything. it causes confusion--[[User:Pwyzpk|Pwyzpk]] 23:38, 30 August 2007 (EDT)

:It seems unlikely they're different characters story-wise. Because of that I say the additional info should be added to what's already there in the team section. (I'm assuming the different descriptions don't actually clash.) [[User:Retodon8|Retodon8]] 20:05, 31 August 2007 (EDT)

== Alanna ==

Should I put the unlock code for Alanna in the article? It's all over the internet anyway. Is there a policy for this sort of thing? [[User:Jamesmarshall|jamesmarshall]] 20:23, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

:As the unlock code for [[Iron Guard#Ariel|Ariel]] is given on the [[Iron Guard#Jihan Nyhn|Iron Guard page]], I assume it's ok to add the unlock code for Alanna, so I have. [[User:Jamesmarshall|jamesmarshall]] 21:12, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

=Jihan Nyhn=
Jihan Nyhn is a powerful arms smuggler not much is known about, as he mostly functions as a background story for the Iron Guard team in [[UT]]. He was known to be a supporter of guerillas fighting [[NEG]] oppression on other planets. Because of his line of work, he hired a team of personal bodyguard. This didn't prevent an unknown assassin to kill Nyhn somewhere before 2293, the year of [[UT]].

After Nyhn's assassination, his team of bodyguards was left without a job. To vent their aggression they joined the [[Liandri Grand Tournament]] as the "Iron Guard". [[Lauren]], said to be Jihan Nyhn's lover at the time, suspected the [[Liandri Mining Corporation]] to be behind his death. She joins the Iron Guard to fight in the Liandri sponsored Tournament, hoping to come close enough to uncover the truth.

By 2302, the year of [[UT2003]], it becomes known Lauren was in fact involved with [[Brock]] since high school, suggesting the rumor of her relationship with Nyhn was incorrect. By this time Nyhn seems all but forgotten, and exactly how he was assassinated, and by whom, remains unclear.

:Trivia: ''jihan'' is the code that unlocks Ariel in [[UT3]]. See [[Unreal Tournament 3#Characters|this]] for details.

=Jihan Nyhn=
Jihan Nyhn is a powerful arms smuggler not much is known about, as he mostly functions as a background story for the Iron Guard team in [[UT]]. He was known to be a supporter of guerillas fighting [[NEG]] oppression on other planets. Because of his line of work, he hired a team of personal bodyguard. This didn't prevent an unknown assassin to kill Nyhn somewhere before 2293, the year of [[UT]].

After Nyhn's assassination, his team of bodyguards was left without a job. To vent their aggression they joined the [[Liandri Grand Tournament]] as the "Iron Guard". [[Lauren]], said to be Jihan Nyhn's lover at the time, suspected the [[Liandri Mining Corporation]] to be behind his death. She joins the Iron Guard to fight in the Liandri sponsored Tournament, hoping to come close enough to uncover the truth.

By 2302, the year of [[UT2003]], it becomes known Lauren was in fact involved with [[Brock]] since high school, suggesting the rumor of her relationship with Nyhn was incorrect. By this time Nyhn seems all but forgotten, and exactly how he was assassinated, and by whom, remains unclear.

:Trivia: ''jihan'' is the code that unlocks Ariel in [[UT3]]. See [[Unreal Tournament 3#Characters|this]] for details.

=Jihan Nyhn=
Jihan Nyhn is a powerful arms smuggler not much is known about, as he mostly functions as a background story for the Iron Guard team in [[UT]]. He was known to be a supporter of guerillas fighting [[NEG]] oppression on other planets. Because of his line of work, he hired a team of personal bodyguard. This didn't prevent an unknown assassin to kill Nyhn somewhere before 2293, the year of [[UT]].

After Nyhn's assassination, his team of bodyguards was left without a job. To vent their aggression they joined the [[Liandri Grand Tournament]] as the "Iron Guard". [[Lauren]], said to be Jihan Nyhn's lover at the time, suspected the [[Liandri Mining Corporation]] to be behind his death. She joins the Iron Guard to fight in the Liandri sponsored Tournament, hoping to come close enough to uncover the truth.

By 2302, the year of [[UT2003]], it becomes known Lauren was in fact involved with [[Brock]] since high school, suggesting the rumor of her relationship with Nyhn was incorrect. By this time Nyhn seems all but forgotten, and exactly how he was assassinated, and by whom, remains unclear.

:Trivia: ''jihan'' is the code that unlocks Ariel in [[UT3]]. See [[Unreal Tournament 3#Characters|this]] for details.

[[Lauren]], said to be Jihan Nyhn's lover at the time, suspected the [[Liandri Mining Corporation]] to be behind his death. She joins the Iron Guard to fight in the Liandri sponsored Tournament, hoping to come close enough to uncover the truth.

By 2302, the year of [[UT2003]], it becomes known Lauren was in fact involved with [[Brock]] since high school, suggesting the rumor of her relationship with Nyhn was incorrect. By this time Nyhn seems all but forgotten, and exactly how he was assassinated, and by whom, remains unclear.

:Trivia: ''jihan'' is the code that unlocks Ariel in [[UT3]]. See [[Unreal Tournament 3#Characters|this]] for details.

Hey there

== How I got into UT ==
I first got a taste for arena FPS games from the Quake III Arena demo, and although I had heard of the UT series I hadn't played it till I downloaded the nVidia PhysX pack, which came with a PhysX mod for UT3, which prompted me to try UT3. Now I'm hooked on the game :D.

[[Image:Izarian_concept.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Izarian concept art]]
'''Izarians''' are intelligent aliens that make an appearance in [[Unreal 2]]. Friendly characters in the game sometimes refer to them as "space monkeys".

==Physiology==
Izarians are humanoid, with four arms and a dark blue skin. Parts of their skin seem transparent, showing lighter pieces of skin that glow a lighter shade of blue, perhaps because of their blue blood. They have long heads and mouths filled with sharp teeth. Despite their aggressive appearance, Izarians aren't particularly tough.

==History==
The Izarians used to form a small empire that enslaved other races to do their bidding. Somewhere before Unreal 2 begins, the [[Skaarj]] enslave the Izarians themselves and use them as warriors. For this purpose, the Skaarj put a limiter on their weapons, called the [[Energy Rifle]], or Shock Lance, to make controlling them less dangerous. The weapon is based on [[Shock Rifle|ASMD technology]], suggesting earlier contact with [[Humans]]. Izarian troops don't wear any armor. Small groups of Izarians accompany one Skaarj commander in the battlefield.
