Unreal Tournament 3 (UT3) is a first-person shooter and online
multiplayer video game by Epic Games and is the next installment of the
Unreal series after Unreal Tournament 2004. It is published by Midway
Games and was released in North America for Windows on November 19,
2007. It was released in North America for the PlayStation 3 on
December 10, 2007,. The Linux installer is planned to be released later
as a downloadable installer that works with the Windows disc.
Unreal Tournament 3 is actually the fourth game in the Unreal
Tournament series and the eighth Unreal game, but it has been numbered
in terms of the engine it runs on. The original Unreal Tournament uses
the original Unreal Engine, while UT2003 and UT2004 use the Unreal
Engine 2, and 2004 incorporates all of the content from 2003; therefore
they are considered as the same generation. UT3 is subsequently part of
the third generation, because it runs on the Unreal Engine 3, and does
not reuse any content. In March 2008, Midway announced that UT3 had
sold over a million copies worldwide.
Similar to the previous entries of the series, the game is primarily
an online multiplayer title offering several game modes, including
large-scale Warfare, Capture-the-Flag, and Deathmatch. It will also
include an extensive offline single-player game with an in-depth story,
advancing from the simple tournament ladder to such concepts as team
members with their own individual personalities The following game
modes are included:
Deathmatch
