In Unreal Tournament 2003, the warriors of the arena are as varied as their technique in battle. 'Normal' humans go up against gene-boosted juggernauts - all power armour and brute force. Then there are the alien races enslaved by the same oppressive force that conquered humanity.

Artificial lifeforms in the shape of combat droids kill efficiently and without emotion while nightmare creatures that were once human take pleasure in nothing but the thrill of the kill. As opponents, they are remorseless in their ferocity and as teammates, unswerving in loyalty.

When the battle calls for team play, you will captain a squad of elite warriors. Select their role in the arena and call out orders on the fly.

Since the original Tournaments were held, there has been a huge advance in technology, both human and alien. There are weapons that target and fire on the enemy before you can think about it and they're probably smarter than you. However, the powers that control the Tournament understand the necessity of balance and tradition - therefore, these 'smart' weapons are banned in the arena.

Other game features include the ability to wield multiple weapons, six different races and over 35 characters, 30 maps, class-specific combos, role assignments, teamwork directives, and recharge stations for ammo and health.
