Thanks frogger187 for this one.

Unreal Tournament 2003 is the sequel to 1999's multiple 'Game of the Year' award winner. It uses the very latest Unreal Engine technology where graphics, sound and gameplay are taken beyond the bleeding edge.

But we all know that so here's what's new in the patch:

• Added Demo Recording

  GamePlay:

• friendly fire kills affect team scores

• made players a little brighter

• allow weapon throwing with weapon stay on (but can't pick up thrown weapon if already have that weapon), plus added configurable gameinfo property bAllowWeaponThrowing (default true) Read More For Complete List And Download

• don't spam "you are ready/not ready" messages to console before game starts

• fixed FFA DM overtime end conditions

• Ability to have custom announcer voices. Make a new announcer voice pack (with the same sound names as the original AnnounceMain.uax), named NewPackName.uax (where NewPackName = whatever you want to call it), and put it in the ut2003sounds directory. Then, in the User.ini file (in the UT2003system directory) change: [UnrealGame.UnrealPlayer] customizedAnnouncerPack="NewPackName"

• improved translocation (less failures)

• link alt no blood

• don't lose adrenaline if switch teams to team with less players

• added Gameinfo property bAllowBehindView, server option allows behindview in net games if true (default false)
