A detailed, evidence-led view of the product—not a generic sales summary.

Enhanced Bot AI - Bots in Unreal Tournament play as if they're jacked up on a big old shot of steroids. Their basic deathmatching skills have been virtually perfected, their understanding of the game rules is professorial, their ability to navigate levels is GPS-like, and their threat to your existence is very real.

New Command Line Options - For the hardcore server masters,
