Unreal Tournament 2004 plot

And it was decided to replace the thirst for spectacles with gladiatorial battles! Fatal, between volunteers. But! Spectators could only witness the action in the broadcast, and not in a closed arena. Almost the restoration of the entertainment of Ancient Rome, the only difference is in the size of arenas and weapons, and even in terms of power and appearance, the arsenal is simply amazing.
Game Features
"Unreal Tournament 2004" is called a unique series, although, it would seem, there is nothing special about it. Create a team, go through dozens of tournaments and win. Such a multiplayer first-person shooter, but! With 10 game modes, a huge selection of weapons and cool gameplay.

Modes and Features in Unreal Tournament 2004
The game was compiled according to the canons of spectacular shows: teams from all over the galaxy, strong corporations as sponsors, striking the imagination of the arena. The developers admit that they have taken the best from the early games, improved the visuals, added interesting modes.
These are just the modes provided for every taste: from the classic ones, where you need to capture the flag and conduct a common battle, to the original assaults, when different scenarios and unusual goals are introduced. A characteristic feature can be called changes in the course of the game, for example, when a pure shooter instantly turns into a space simulator. And you need to be ready for this too!
The authors compensated for the lack of a plot by developing a single company. You need not only to fight until victory in the arenas, but to be your team, as they say, a family father. Or a mother. This means keeping track of income and expenses, treating the wounded, accepting and even challenging the leaders of other teams. Also - buy the best fighters, and here you should not skimp. Because there is such a thing as a one-on-one challenge, when you can put up any of the best warriors. And if your own wins, then you can take the best fighter from the enemy team to your team. The method is interesting and even very unpredictable if you play in Instagram mode.
There is also a linkgan duel, players love the adrenaline rush. Especially if the beam regime and plasma firing clash. What's cooler? Many people say that the beam is more effective, but in close combat.
The dominance mode is also popular, when the player paints the neutral markers on the cards in the color of the team, then this will give points. Until, of course, the enemy intercepts.
It is also worth noting such popular entertainments:
- Bombing Run. You need to kick the ball into someone else's goal, almost football, but not really. The ball needs to be thrown into the portal at the enemy base; the team that scored a goal three times wins. By the way, you can break through with a fight, which gives a special novelty to the well-known rules.
- Assault. It is required to complete the assigned tasks, one team attacks, the other defends.
- Invasion. The task is to fight off waves of monsters, the most drive - at maximum difficulty.
- Mutant. The fighter who shed blood first becomes a mutant, long jumps, invisibility, acceleration and other cool features are available to him. But immediately the countdown of lives starts. And then other players begin to hunt for the transformed.
- Onslaught. Each team is assigned a strongpoint with a Power Core machine to defend. Control points are scattered around the map, if you capture them, a path to the car will appear, and you will be able to carry out an attack. They usually play 8 by 8, to defend the base, equipment is allocated to the soldiers, for example, Hellbringer - for firing energy balls or Goliath - a powerful siege weapon. You can also use fighters and tanks, plus heavy infantry. In this situation, a crazy battle unfolds around the bases, when it is necessary to repulse attacks both from the air and from the ground. And since the maps are huge, that is, where to turn.
Weapons and more
The Arsenal is very powerful and wide, as they say, one barrel is steeper than the other. The same enforcer on a unit can compete with the beam of a pulse rifle or a combined fire from a shock rifle. Or the same Redeemer, one rocket - and half a map is cleared. Or a fragmentation cannon ... It is allowed to choose a weapon without any problems, another question is to have time to use it. Matches pass quickly, you need to think with lightning speed, if you are a little confused or gape - you flew out of the battle. You should focus not only on the card, but also on audio and video signals. So the school in "Unreal Tournament 2004" is powerful, before going online it is worth practicing with bots in a single player game.
Summing up

The music is well chosen and sets a certain drive. All this, perhaps, explains the interest in "Unreal Tournament 2004" even now, with a rich selection of battle battles.
