''Unreal Tournament 2003'' or '''''UT2003''''' is a '' was released as a sister product to the game, however, was developed for single-player only. Later, ''Unreal II'' would receive an add-on that would enable a multiplayer mode. ''UT2003'' was followed by Unreal Tournament 2004 released in March of 2004 . ''UT2004'' is not a brand new game or a conventional expansion pack, rather "''UT2004'' is what ''UT2003'' should have been". ''UT2004'' completely replaced ''UT2003'' on store shelves and ''UT2004'' boxes sold in the United States include a voucher that along with proof of having bought ''UT2003'' gives a discount for ''UT2004''. ''UT2003'' set a record for the number of downloads (1.2 Million) when the demo was released. In addition, the game engine has been widely licensed for games such as Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell, and America's Army. ''UT2003'' has received mostly positive reviews although it has not had the impact that its 1999 predecessor had. One reason was increased competition, with Halo: Combat Evolved, Operation: Flashpoint, Battlefield, and the Grand Theft Auto series raising the bar for shooter expectations by including vehicles. ''UT2003'' also received a lukewarm reception from some fans of its predecessor, who accused it of altering the pace and gameplay adversely. The main target of criticism was because ''UT2003'' missed out on the Assault game mode present in its ''Unreal Tournament'' predecessor although game designers later included Assault with ''UT2004''. Both gamers and developers agreed that ''UT2003'' was a watered-down game in its current form, however it was ''not'' rushed in order to be released upon time (so ''UT2003'' was not plagued by bugs that are typical of "rushed games"). There are several Easter Eggs (i.e. a hidden vehicle) to hint of ''UT2003'''s future potential; it was obvious that Epic Games had very ambitious plans for the sequel to UT 1999 and the stripped-down ''UT2003'' was due mostly to time constraints. In addition to buying more time to implement their plans for Assault and Onslaught game modes, the developers attempted to resolve many issues gamers had with ''UT2003''. As a result, ''UT2003'' served as a polished foundation upon which ''UT2004'' was built up and ''UT2004'' met a very favourable reception. GAMEPLAY The available combat modes are:
WEAPONS ''UT2003'' features 11 weapons:
In addition, ''UT2003'' features the Translocator that allows your player to quickly teleport across the map by shooting a small disc where the player wants to go. There are also alternate weapons/weapon sets which are available for download as 'mutators' (explained below). These will replace other weapons' places on maps in the game e.g. if downloaded and activated, the "Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch" will take the place of the redeemer and ion painter on the map. MUTATORS Mutators are addons to the game which 'mutate' the style of gameplay.
