* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: The final battle in DM-HyperBlast2 becomes really easy, unlike in [[Unreal Tournament (Video Game)|the first installment]], since the player can get frags by pushing his/her enemies to the void. Plus, the match has a [[Timed Mission|time limit]] of 20 minutes to win, and it's possible to win via timeout.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: The Gen Mo'Kai. The race is just next to the Skaarj in terms of non-human characters' popularity.
* [[Gameplay Derailment]]:
Line 9 ⟶ 10:
** Also, in the first UT, the Translocator had no limits. This changed here with the charges.
* [[Good Bad Bugs]]: A bug while playing with the "Weapon Stay" option disabled allows to keep a [[Charged Attack]] (BioRifle's and Rocket Launcher's alt. fires, Impact Hammer's primary fire) while picking up another weapon instantly. Your actual weapon changes to the picked one, and when you switch back, you fire the [[Charged Attack]].
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: In the [[Ascended Fanon|canonized]] map AS-BP2-Jumpship, you'll lead an Izanagi team who hijacks a Liandri's jumpship in order to enter to any space they want without a jumpgate. The Bonus Pack 2 was released in 2005. Fast-forward [[Unreal Tournament III (Video Game)3|two years later]], and {{spoiler|an Izanagi team, the Ronin team, hijacked at one point a spaceship and used a jump portal to enter in Necris territory}}.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: One of the announcements of the [[Announcer Chatter]] is "[[Flawless Victory|Flawless]] [[Shout -Out|Vict]][[Mortal Kombat|ory]]", which you obtain by endimg a Deathmatch game with nobody fragging you. Gets funny when you know that the later games of the franchise, ''[[Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict (Video Game)|Unreal Championship 2 The Liandri Conflict]]'', and ''[[Unreal Tournament III (Video Game)3|Unreal Tournament III]]'' were published by [[Midway Games]], the house (until Netherrealm Studios took over) behind the [[Mortal Kombat]] franchise.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: [http://liandri.beyondunreal.com/Unreal_Tournament_2003#History Two weeks]. Later lampshaded by Epic.
<!-- %% Don't add Narm here. It's DarthWiki, and, as such, it should be left even of the YMMV page. -->
* [[Porting Disaster]]: ''Championship'' is a cut-down version of ''2003'', lacking many of it's maps. It didn't work out very well.
* [[The Scrappy]]: Mr. Crow.
** [[Take That, Scrappy!]]: In ''2004'', he loses the leadership of the Nightmare Black Legion. Then, when you finish the Single-Player as him, you unlock the TC-1200 for the Vehicle Arena mutator. For the record, the TC-1200 is a motorized... toilet.
* [[That One Level]]:
** Due to your teammates being incredibly retarded and the fact you can't be everywhere at once, any CTF level in single player quickly becomes an irritating hassle.
** The fourth level of the single player, DM-1on1-Desolation is played with 5 bots. The level is very intrincate, with lots of things in your way such as pillars, narrow passages (which makes them as frag bait when someone shoots with splash damage weapons like the Flak Cannon, the Rocket Launcher or the BioRifle) extremely few options to trickjump, as the name implies it's really small, and the only way to get some armor is by using the Booster adrenaline combo with enough health. There's also an [[Quad Damage|UDamage]], which the bots will steal if you don't know how to time it well. Oh, and if that wasn't enough, the bots have a tendency of annoying you unless you react quickly.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: The general reaction towards ''2003''. ''2004'' fixed it. This was mocked on their [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20101012062928/http://www.unrealtournament2004.com/general/timeline.html old website for UT2004], noting that "many fans of the Tournament complain at these changes".
* [[Vindicated Byby History]]: ''Unreal Tournament 2003''. In it'sits release moment, it was heavily bashed for having plastic graphics (people, this game is called '''''Unreal''' Tournament 2003''!) and for "not being Unreal Tournament enough". But nowadays, a lot of people are looking at ''2003'' with better eyes. Sadly, there're no master servers for the game. (All of these went to ''2004'')
