As expected the Unreal Tournament 3 modding community has already launched a variety of promising projects, of which the first few can already be downloaded and played online! Most notable amongst these is the oldschool favorite gametype of ‘Invasion’, of which a team of modders had made a UT3 v1.1 compatible alpha release. You can find this modification here. This mod is receiving constant updates, as is evident by the fact that the most recent release dates to… yesterday.

Meanwhile another, more imaginative, team of modders has actually managed to design and code a full-scale new mod project in the month since release. Fleet Wars, as it’s called, introduces various gamemodes in which you can launch your space fighter and shoot down your mates in intense space combat. Unreal Tournament 3 owners can already enjoy this mod’s version 0.1 alpha release as of two days ago.

More mod news further in!

The American UT modder and player Lotus has created CustomUT. A mod that transforms the game into one that is more suitable for competitive play, with proper voting menu’s, crosshair changing, hitsounds, etc. This mod is already in use on many clanservers and pick-up servers. Do note that there are several similar mods on their way for UT3, so this might not be the eventual mod chosen for competition - if any mod does get chosen as a standard.

Of course these are just the highlights. Many others small mutators have been released, as well as dozens of maps. And plenty of modders are still hard at work on their own projects, like the return of Domination to UT! Checking the official forums for some good mods and maps might be a good idea if you’re interested in playing or hosting a few of them.

Now get back to playing!
