Unreal Tournament(UT) is a
multiplayer online first person shooter. It came out competing head-to-head with
Quake3. Many people purchased both. Others are rabid fans of just one. The truth is the two are extremely similar.
The
models and
skins in
UT are
lacking, compared to
Paul Steed's impressive work in
Q3.
It does have more gameplay types out of the box than
Quake3, however.
In
truth, although you will find few in either game's
community to admit it, the two games,
UT and
Q3, are nearly
identical, and both very
unoriginal.
That is
REALLY IT, besides extremely minor physics and mechanics differences. Overall, it ends up just being a random matter of your taste in FPSs.
The
smart people are still playing the good
mods for
Quake2 or
Half-Life, and waiting for any
must-have mods to be released for either
UT or
Q3. Chances are the same mods will be released under different names for both. The real test will be to see which of Q3 and UT provides better support to the
mod-making community.
