Basics

Like the original Unreal Tournament, your primary goal is to kill or be killed. Most of the Tournament is deathmatch style, in which you and several other players (or computer controlled "bots") are placed in a small arena, and you kill everything you see. You begin with just a pistol, but you can find other weapons, ammo, health, and armor scattered throughout the arena. Use whatever weapons you can find to take out anyone in your way.

Weapons

Most of the weapons from the original Unreal Tournament have returned, such as the shock rifle, flak cannon, rocket launcher, minigun, and so on. New weapons include the shield gun, which can either create a powerful shock wave at very close range, or deflect enemy fire for a short period of time, and the lightning gun, which is a long distance high damage weapon that fires a bolt of lightning at your target.

Tip: Keep Moving

A predictable deathmatch player is a dead deathmatch player. Keep moving at all times, and try to zig-zag, jump or otherwise move such that you can't be easily tracked by your enemies.

Modes

When you begin UT2004, you can either play in the single player tournament or you can play multiplayer against others on the internet. In single player, you will begin with deathmatches and team deathmatches against the AI bots. Once you are through the preliminary matches, you will need to make your way up the tournament ladder in four different modes. As you move up the ladder, the bots will get more skilled and the battles more difficult. The other modes are double domination, in which your team has to hold both control points to score, capture the flag, assault, in which you must attack and then defend a base, and finally bombing run. In bombing run, you and your teammates must move a "ball" down the field to your enemies goal, more or less like soccer. When you have the ball, you are unable to fire, but you will gain health at a steady rate. Multiplayer includes all these modes, plus more, such as vehicle capture the flag.

Adrenaline

A new feature of Unreal Tournament 2004 is adrenaline. You gain adrenaline either by killing your opponents or by picking up the pill shaped powerups on the ground. When you reach 100 adrenaline, you will be able to perform a variety of useful maneuvers by entering in the correct movement sequence. For example, you can gain a burst of speed by hitting forward three times, and you can heal yourself by hitting backwards three times. Try other combinations to see what you can find.

Tip: Learn the Maps

Once you have played a given map a couple times, do your best to memorize the location of weapon and health spawns, as these will give you a definite leg up on your competition.
