all major game sales outlets.
According to statistics tracked by Web sites offering

Graphics card maker, NVIDIA®, which hosts the

“Fan reaction has been over-the-top, demonstrating
that the Unreal Tournament franchise is still the
King of the Hill for online multiplayer games,” said
Peter Wyse, executive producer at Atari. “Epic’s excellent
work at reinventing its own masterpiece continues
to impress gamers worldwide. The introduction of
Onslaught mode, the reemergence of Assault mode
and the all-new vehicles in Unreal Tournament 2004
have created exactly what action fans have been
waiting for – the definitive multiplayer experience on PC!”
Unreal Tournament 2004 is developed by Epic
Games in conjunction with Digital Extremes. The
Unreal Tournament 2004 official demo includes
five playable game modes, and offers fans their
first taste of Unreal Tournament 2004’s two new
gameplay styles: the introduction of the hyper-charged
Onslaught mode and the return of the fan-favorite
Assault mode, which last appeared in the origina
Unreal Tournament. The demo also features established
game types like Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and Bombing Run.
“We are really proud and excited to see the fans
of the Unreal franchise embracing the all new gameplay
elements in Unreal Tournament 2004 in such
overwhelming numbers,” said Tim Sweeney,
founder of Epic Games. “As a company, we focused
hard on making a game that was more than just
an incremental improvement and could meet our
standards for breaking new ground in terms of
gameplay innovation and multiplayer competition.
Clearly, as PC gamers everywhere have demonstrated,
Unreal Tournament 2004 stands to redefine what
it means to compete online.”
Some of the new features showcased in the
Unreal Tournament 2004 demo include:
-- Onslaught Mode: Onslaught is an epic-in-scope
team-based challenge that pits two teams in bitter
warfare across massive terrain maps in a frag-filled
battle to destroy, capture and hold key power nodes.
Vehicles play a major role as war-hardened flying and
driving machines transport combatants to the “front”
and serve as mobile platforms to launch devastating
attacks on the enemy.
-- Assault Mode: In the completely redesigned Assault
mode, gamers are challenged to complete a variety
of mission objectives to attack or defend bases in a
bigger and badder version of the Unreal Tournament
classic; many Assault maps require the use of vehicles
as a critical gameplay element.
-- Vehicles: Unreal Tournament 2004 features a variety
of land-, space- and air-based vehicles, including
buggies, tanks, hovercraft, aircraft and more
-- Voice Technology: Integrated voice communications,
including voice-over-IP technology to allow real-time
chat during gameplay; voice recognition, allowing
players to issue orders to computer controlled bots;
and, text-to-voice conversion of typed chat
Unreal Tournament 2004 is expected to release in
March, in both a standard and a “Special Edition” format
. The game will feature more than 100 environments
and 80 characters as well as all the action and excitement
that made the original Unreal Tournament a smash hit.
