The greatest gladiator sport ever created is redefined for 2004. Now, experience more than double the content of the earlier model with massive additions like land, air, and space vehicles, an arsenal of new weaponry (including mines, rocket-propelled grenades and stationary gun turrets), two new game modes, more than 95 arenas and battlefields, and the return of the mighty Skaarj race.
Unreal Tournament 2004 is a multiplayer first-person shooter that combines gladiatorial combat with cutting-edge technology. Ten game modes - both team-based and "every man for himself" -- provide action gamers with palm-sweating challenges through unbelievably detailed indoor arenas and vast outdoor environments. As the ultimate techno-gladiator of the future, you take your fate into your own hands, battling up to 32 Mac, Windows, and Linux players online in action-packed, frag-filled arenas.

NEW GAME MODES
Assault Mode: Assault mode returns! Redesigned for UT2004, this fan-favorite mode sees teams face off to defend and attack fortified bases -- from fast-moving trains barreling across an arid alien desert, to a Skaarj mother ship poised to attack the human home world.
Onslaught Mode: Team combat on the next level! Opposing teams are pitted against each other to capture and hold strategic points. Taking place in massive outdoor environments, here is where vehicular combat comes into its own. Flying and driving machines take combatants to the front line and gigantic mobile battle stations serve as a platform from which to launch devastating attacks.
95 DIFFERENT MAPS More than 95 maps will be available immediately, including more than 45 brand-new maps for every existing and new gameplay mode. Vast outdoor environments, deep space combat areas and tightly packed indoor techno-arenas are all waiting for the latest entrants to the Tournament.
UNREAL TV Hundreds of spectators can log on and watch famous combatants and rival clans duke it out.

Unreal Tournament, all of them, other than the console release of UT3, were great. Online death match was a blast. The level of user created content was and probably still is SICK! Along with the staggering list of battle ship and space ship and old refinery and far away forest planet and castles and dungeons and anything else you can think of in the realm of running around on or in a static or moving surface and blasting the crap out of your friends there was also this crazy amount of super sized levels where you were the size of an action figure and you were playing inside of a living room or a diner or inside of the Sponge Bob Square Pants set. Every day it seemed that users had uploaded tons of new levels and mods. UT is by far one of the best death match style shooter experiences I have had. My brother and I played it all the time. I'm sure the Mac or PC version of UT3 had to be better than the console version... I hope so anyway. I never played the desktop port Of UT3. Anyway, Unreal Tournament 2004 was great!
At first, I had a problem with the CD key, and so I went to Mac Soft's Web site to figure it out. Apparently, my installer would quit after I entered the CD key and you have to download the updated version. They have a link for the download in their "Support" section.
Even then, you still have to download a couple of patches for the online gaming, which in my opinion, is the only reason to purchase the game. The single Player Game Type is plain boring. The map editing on this game and being able to play your created map along with others online is what makes this unique from the other FPS games.
Besides that, there is an article I have read about a study that tested 22 players and how their vision sensitivity has improved. The article specifically mentions Unreal Tournament 2004. Here is the link below: [...]
This version of Unreal 2004 is not supported by later versions of Mac. The way you find this out is to open the package and try to install the game. You will receive an error message telling you that you just wasted $30.00. Because now, since you needed to open the software, it can not be returned.
I liked Halo one, and I enjoyed Decent, and this came has been fun for years. There are so many different ways to have fun with this game. I wish I could get this to work on Linux.
THIS GAME IS AWESOME! AND ITS SO BLOODY! THE GRAPHICS ARE AWESOME! YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING!! WORTH ALL THE SPACE IT TAKES UP! (a couple gigs...not bad) But overall A++++++
