Unreal Tournament 2004 Mods  by Scott H at 08:48

PC
Previous versions of UT have produced quite a few mods, and the 2004 version is no different. However ive noticed a couple of mods under development that bring back some good memories for me gaming wise.

UnrealAnnihilation

This one as you can probably guess from the name is based on the classic RTS game Total Annihilation. TA is the only game ive actually bothered taking the time to mess around with unit models, and scripts, and even more strange than that I actually played it quite a lot to. TA's downfall however was its poor performance on the net, LAN wise multiplayer was a treat.

Graphics wise as you can see from the images below, the unit renders arn't too different from the originals, whether this is intentional I dont know, either way they will certainly do the job.



Anyway this mod is still under development and we will probably be waiting quite some time for it, but I will certainly be keeping my eye on it.

Alien Swarm

Anyone remember an old Amiga game called Alien Breed? If you do then when you look at this mod, thats probably the game you'll be thinking of.

Having said that, the game isn't actually based on Alien Breed as far as I know. Its a multiplayer co-op top down mod. Im sure you can guess the scenario so I wont bother explaining it. Needless to say its something a little different from the usual mods out there, even if it is based on a game from long ago.

You can check out some screenshots on the official site, small screenies on here wont really do them justice.

I am sure there are many more mods out there that might be worth a look, in fact you could probably spend many a day testing UT 2004 mods, just like I used to with the original UT.

TA rocked, pity it's follow up was utterly shite.

Still, there are persistent rumours that TA2 is in the pipeline.

Something else in the pipeline TA wise is TA Spring a free RTS engine being developed that can use TA Unit files. Again this one is a long way off.
