GOTY is the Unreal Tournament multiplayer game. Gold is the original Unreal singleplayer game + the Return to NaPali expansion.

In unreal tournament you fight against human players earth

Both games also have different weapons and maps

Thanks very very mulch, so Unreal Gold is like Half-Life 1998 and focuses on story and offline multiplayer (but mainly singleplayer), and Unreal Tournament is like Halo and focuses mainly on online multiplayer?

i guess comparing Unreal to Halflife makes sense. both a mainly singleplayer games, in both you are mostly alone fighting against all kinds of aliens and avoiding traps while exploring.
and there is a multiplayer feature, but no one plays it anymore because Unreal turnament is far better at that.

also the game's name is just "Unreal". the 'gold' was added later because the game is bundled with an expansion pack, so it's a gold edition

the one weapon i miss from Unreal, is a minigun that shoots crystals, and secondary fire launches them like a shotgun, pretty damn neat...
but hey, Unreal turnament has a flak cannon which is bascially a shotgun, with bouncy pellets, and a grenade launcher...

Unreal-Turnament is mostly about multiplayer yes. but there's still a pretty fun singleplayer campegin where you fight against bot players in athe "grand turnament"



P.S halo always focused on singelplayer... so its not like Unreal Turnament.
best comparsion to unreal turnament wolud be Quake 3, and left4dead

Thanks best answer I've gotten (or second best not sure which)
I watched my friend play Half-Life on Twitch, we were both very bored, all you do in that game mainly is platforming, which I'm horrible at but the game did a good job of it for 1998, I never enjoyed jumping on objects all day though, so I much prefer Unreal/Quake

That's very cool thanks for that info, very informative

I never knew there was a crystal chaingun @c@
The flak cannon is pretty cool, and good (the grenade launcher part of it is weak though), seems like most people use rocket launcher, I do miss Unreal 2004 though, my laptop now overheats while playing it and to me it's way better, I don't even want a good laptop I just want one that can play old or indie games without overheating (also I want to play them on max settings not medium)

Thanks very much, the tournament mode is a nice addition (for single player), but since it's not story based it feels like it'is not worth the effort, unless you don't have internet then it seems like a great idea for 1998 (or whenever Unreal Tournament came out), btw is there an Unreal Tournament Vanilla or is 'Unreal Tournament GOTY' the only Unreal Tournament?

Halo's emphasis was always multiplayer, ask anyone, that's not to say that the single player wasn't good, whether it was split-screen, 4-Player PvP, LAN (16 player) or XBOX LIVE Halo was the main reason XBOX survived all the way up to the 360 (then died when the XBONED came out because by that point everyone was sick of tired ass Halo and wanted the PS4 exclusives)

The bots themself in Unreal Tournament are great, you couldn't customize bots in Timesplitters, I didn't have a PC when I was young, back then no one in my family knew anything about computers or internet and no one could afford it anyway, plus they weren't portable like consoles so my family avoided comptuers until the late 2000s
I had family consoles, any consoles I had throughout my childhood I bought with my own money (that was usually given to me by my brother or grandmother), so I had a family PS2, I had games very similar to Unreal Tournament and Quake that I bought used from GameStoppo, the ones I had were TimeSplitters: Future Perfect (the best FPS I've ever played til this day, to me it's like Unreal Tournament on steroids) and Red Faction II (it was okay, I enjoyed it considering the fact that it's a clone of Quake, and its saving grace was the fact that 5% of the time you shot terrain it would be destroyed ), those 2 are the only ones I could think of, ironically I had Quake 3: Arena on PS2 and it wasn't good, same as Unreal Tournament on PS2, I didn't have online until I was 20, so the bots themselves could have provided good entertainment if they weren't so easy after a while, TimeSplitters FP reached a point to where I was fighting like 15 bots alone on hard and still winning with only a few deaths, nowadays the only shooters people will touch are Overwatch and Call of Duty

BTW unreal tournament does have a pretty nice story.

The Liandry mining coprporatoon hosted bar fightings to reduce violence among their low class workers

Eventually the fights stated to attract many viewers to the point Liandry started to focus just on organizing these fights until proffesinal leuge was formed andva grand tournament was declared

You are just one of the contenders in hopes of beating the enigmatic champion Can kriegor

Actually you do
The game opening narration
And the character and map level descriptions before every new mission give a lot of interesting lore and backstosry

The intro is very short. In terms of story you get backstory, that's it. Character and map descriptions are incredibly short and add absolutely nothing to make any sort of narrative. Backstory and nothing else doesn't make a story, it's just history.

Unreal Tournament has no singleplayer portion. The halo comparison isn't accurate

Unreal Gold was a singleplayer game with an optional multiplayer component. Unreal Tournament is a multiplayer game with no singleplayer component, you just have bots and a ladder. It's like comparing Half-Life to Overwatch.

I technically does since you can play the game the way it was meant to be played alone. They also purposely made the ladder to be the campaign side of the game. It's gameplay identical to multiplayer portions of FPS games of the time but due to the inclusion of bots it's also possible to be played in single-player. Comparing Halo or Unreal to it isn't accurate though, you're right, but comparing UT to Overwatch, although it makes more sense gameplay wise isn't a good comparison since Overwatch doesn't have bots and therefore is impossible to properly play the game alone.

Yet the ladder was so importnant because it was build up towards 2003's/2004's and ultimately 2007's.Its about the lore in UT's singleplayer, not a whole storyline.
