Unreal Tournament 2004 Ultimate Edition

This guide compiles game fixes, all community bonus packs and some carefully selected extras to enhance your UT2004 experience.
With the dawn of UT4 it is best we do not forget our origins, so that we can guarantee the future.

Introduction

The Steam edition of Unreal Tournament 2004 is but a shell of the full experience, the Editor's Choice Edition only includes a handful of maps taken from the Community Bonus Packs.

The editor's choice edition of Unreal Tournament 2004 was a 2-DVD special edition of the game with some bonus content, including four Onslaught maps, three Onslaught vehicles, six new characters, and eleven mods. The second disc included the same video tutorials included with the special edition of the initial release.

Soon after the ECE went on sale, the bonus game content - minus the tutorial videos - was made available for download by existing owners of the game. The three new vehicles, the SPMA, Cicada, and Paladin, are able to be used in stock and XP maps through the Bonus Vehicles mutator. Also included were four new maps using the vehicles, ONS-Adara, ONS-IslandHop, ONS-Tricky, and ONS-Urban. Most of the mods included in the ECE were winners or finalists in Epic's Make Something Unreal Contest. The user created mods included in this release were:

• Air Buccaneers
  
• Alien Swarm
  
• Chaos UT2
  
• Clone Bandits
  
• Deathball
  
• Domain 2049
  
• Frag.Ops
  
• Jailbreak
  
• Red Orchestra
  
• Rocketeer
  
• UnWheel

These mods are not present in the Steam version.

___

ONS-Aridoom + ONS-Ascendancy

[community.pcgamingwiki.com]
Two maps were released by Epic mappers Clawfist and Nathillien through Gamespot using an installer that limited limited itself to Windows XP. The maps were soon redistributed by others without the installer, allowing anyone to use them. The maps in this package were ONS-Aridoom and ONS-Ascendancy.

Community Maps

The Community Maps section contains professional grade custom maps, skins and mutators sanctioned by Epic Games.

___

Community Bonus Pack 1: UT2004 Re-Release

UT2004 version of developer-certified fan maps for UT2003. This map pack is re-release of the critically acclaimed Community Bonus Pack - originally released for UT2003. All of the maps have been converted in one way or another from very subtle changes to new layouts and designs, along with various bug fixes.
___

Community Bonus Pack 2: Volume 1

Developer-approved fan-made maps. Contains 21 new maps, 4 characters, and a mutator.
___

Second half of the map pack. Contains 20 new maps, 4 skins and 2 mutators to play with.
___

___

Ultimate Community Map Packs (Vol. 1-4)
Have been purposefully omitted, I have personally tried all 44 maps and they do not hold a candle to the original / community maps not in quantity nor in quality. They were never acknowledged by Epic Games.
___

UT2004 Mega Pack
Contains latest official patch (3369), all of the Editor's Choice Pack's bonus content, as well as 9 new maps. These 9 maps are included in the Community Bonus Pack 2.

Fan Maps

I scourged through all the websites I could find and compiled the best of the best, it's the content that surely came out too late to be included in a Community Bonus Pack.

This list is regularly updated, check back sometime for more UT2004 content.

Notes and Appeal to the Community

I tried making a package with these maps, dubbing it "Ultimate Edition Bonus Pack" or "UEBP" for short, unfortunately I can't get in touch with some of the maps' creators, so there is no point in making an half crippled pack.

You can try and contact them if you want, to make this package a reality, but please remain civil and respectful.

If you know some copyright loop that could help out, you're welcome to suggest it.

UPDATE: It has come to my attention that there is no legality stopping me from creating a map pack out of maps uploaded to mapraider.com

If you love the Unreal Tournament Series, I urge you to play the free Pre-Alpha Unreal Tournament 4. You can suggest changes, bug test, map test, design characters, etc; Helping the development of the game, so hopefully the series goes on for a long time.

thns for killing this games development fortnite been playing since classic ut

[ma meeshka mow skwoz]

July 26, 2017: "hopefully the series goes on for a long time"
2023: Epic kills all UT master servers, delists all Unreal games from all storefronts (Steam, GOG, and even Epic Store itself), makes them abandonware, announces UT3X, then cancels it half a year later
feels bad man

[Codrex]

Does anybody know what the maps shown under 'Fan Maps' are?

THANKS A LOT MAN FOR THE UPDATES AND THE MAPS!!! unfortunately the Models and the Mutator section needs an update because I get re-directed to websites without the desired results. But thanks any how. Now I and my best man can play these amazing maps and the UT2004 Ultimate Edition version as we had it on CD-rom or DVD-rom with the old skool FileFront website with every mod, map, skin, mutators and other sjizzle from this amazing serie of games. UT99 GOTY, UT2004, UT3. All amazing in my opinion and they bring back memories of my childhood and teen life. Again. Thanks a lot and cheers to you man!

Best wishes from the Netherlands,
