INSTALLATION
1. Quit all other applications and insert the Unreal® Tournament 2003 game CD into your CD-ROM drive.
2. If Windows® is set up to use the CD AutoPlay feature, Unreal Tournament 2003 will automatically display its
installation screen. If AutoPlay is disabled, you will need to start the installation manually. To do this, doubleclick on the My Computer icon, then on the Unreal Tournament 2003 icon, then on the Setup icon. This will open
the first installation window.
3. Follow the instructions in the installation windows to install Unreal Tournament 2003 on your computer.
You can also install several optional Unreal Tournament 2003 components. Choose from the following items:
Unreal Tournament 2003 Game: The Unreal Tournament 2003 game engine; installation is required.
Game Content: Select this component to install all game content onto your hard drive, which requires 3 GB
of free space. Select this for optimal performance. If you deselect this option, the game content will be loaded
from the CD each time you play, and performance will be slower.
DirectX®: Installs Microsoft’s DirectX® drivers for optimal rendering performance, audio support and joystick
support. This component is optional, but highly recommended if you do not already have it installed.
Open AL: Installs Open AL sound utilities required for Unreal Tournament 2003 to run.
After the game has been installed, the Unreal Tournament 2003 Options window will appear. It is highly recommended that you select and read the Release Notes for important information about Unreal Tournament
2003. After reading the release notes, select Play. You may be asked to restart your computer.
THE README FILE
The Unreal Tournament 2003 CD-ROM game has a ReadMe file where you can view both the License Agreement
and updated information about the game. To view this file, double-click on that file in the Unreal Tournament
2003 directory found on your hard drive (usually C:\Program Files\Infogrames\Unreal Tournament 2003). You
can also view the ReadMe file by first clicking on the START button on your Win98/2000/Me/XP taskbar, then on
Programs, then on Infogrames, then on Unreal Tournament 2003, and finally on the ReadMe file item. We
strongly encourage you to take the time to read this file in order to get the benefit of changes made after this
manual went to print.

Combat types
There are five modes of combat in Unreal Tournament 2003.
DEATHMATCH
Players are pitted against each other in a balls-to-the-wall free-for-all. Anything goes. The one with the most
kills wins.
TEAM DEATHMATCH
Join your teammates in the quest for battlefield supremacy. The team that kills the most enemy players is judged
the winner.
CAPTURE THE FLAG
Each level has two team flags. In order to score, one team must penetrate the opposing team’s defenses, ‘Capture
the Flag’ and return it to their home team’s flag. If the flag carrier is killed, the flag drops to the ground for anyone to pick up. If your team’s flag is taken, it must be returned before your team can take the opposing team’s flag.
DOUBLE DOMINATION
Each level has 2 Domination Points. In order to score, you must ‘capture’ each Control Point (by running over it)
and keep them in your team’s possession for 10 seconds. After scoring, the Control Points reset to neutral and
will become available to Dominate again after another 10 seconds.
BOMBING RUN
Each level has one ball in the middle of the play field. The objective is to pick up the ball, deliver it to the enemy
base and fire it through their goal. You must also defend your own goal to prevent the enemy from scoring. The
ball is dropped when a player is killed and can then be picked up by anyone on either team.

Multiplayer
HOST: If you’re connected to the Internet, this option allows you to host a game on your computer. You can
choose which maps to play and the type of combat. In addition, you can change the following options:
Choose Map/Game Type: Use this option to select maps and combat type. Select the maps you wish to use
from the list on the left. The list of maps will change depending on what type of combat you choose.
Game Rules: Adjust the rounds per map, maximum lives for each player, score limit and time limit. You can
set the maximum and minimum number of players, map defaults, or balance teams.
Server: Selecting the Dedicated Server option will make your computer function only as a host.
Game Settings: Adjust bot skill, friendly fire, game speed and weapon stay options.
Select Mutators: Mutators allow you to change different characteristics of the in-game experience. Turn
mutators ON or OFF by clicking on the icon next to each one.
Bot Config: You can configure or import bots here.
PLAY ONLINE/LAN: Clicking here will show you a list of servers hosting Unreal Tournament 2003 games and the
number of players. Choose a server from the list and click “Connect” to join that game. You can leave a game by
bringing up the in-game menu and selecting “Forfeit.”
NETWORK SETTINGS: Set your connection type depending on your method of connecting to the Internet: 33.6K
modem, ISDN, Cable/ADSL or LAN/T1. You can also enable the Stats function that will keep track of your game statistics at www.epicgames.com. If you choose to enable statistics, you can set your user name and password here.
Instant Action
Instant Action games are single-player games and allow you to choose any type of combat on any of the maps
available. You'll see the various combat types listed, and the names of the arenas available for each. Use the
menus to change Player settings and Game Rules, and choose which Mutators to activate.
MENUS
Single Player
Select Single Player to enter the Tournament and begin your trip up the Tournament ladders. (This is a singleplayer game that is played on your computer, not on the Internet.)
When starting a new game, you'll be asked to personalize your character by choosing a name, race, gender and
appearance. You can also choose your team name and team symbol.
Your first task is to display your skills in a Deathmatch tournament. Only the most skilled competitors are given
the right to draft a team and enter them in the Unreal Tournament. Once you have proven yourself, you'll be able
to draft players from a pool of free agents.
Only a portion of your team will play in any given tournament match. Certain kinds of players will be more useful on each level, and in each game type, so choosing a well-balanced team is key for winning the tournament.
But, before you can lead your team, you must prove you are worthy to lead them into battle by defeating them
all in combat.
When you begin a game, three menu options will be available:
Ladder: View your tournament progress, and select a match to play. There is a ladder for each game type. At
the beginning of a single-player tournament, only Team Deathmatch is available. As you work your way up
the ladder, Capture the Flag, Double Domination and Bombing Run games will become available. (See the preceding section on “Combat Types” for a description of each.) If you can win all four tournament ladders, you
will proceed to a championship round, for a chance to face the reigning Unreal Tournament champion.
Roster: View your current team members. You may use this menu to manage your lineup, and change your
teammates' orders for the upcoming match.
Play: Click here when you have chosen a match and you are satisfied with your lineup. While the match is
loading, you'll have an opportunity to view the competition's lineup and see a comparison of the two teams.
LOAD PROFILE: Your progress is saved automatically when you win a tournament match. This option lets you
pick from a list of previously saved games.
DELETE PROFILE: Delete a team and their progress in the tournament.
