 Unreal Tournament is practically one of the forefathers of online shooters. You know sounds like "HEADSHOT!" or "MULTIKILL!" from [[Counter-Strike|CS]] servers? The originals actually come from UT... It's a really funny game, considering how old it actually is. The game was developed in 1999 by [[Epic Games]].

 ===== Purchasing =====
 Unreal Tournament, also known as UT or UT99, is still available at [[http://www.gog.com/game/unreal_tournament_goty|GOG]], with alleged compatibility up to Win 10, but not in good old Germany. Because there the game is still on the so-called index. Therefore it is not allowed to advertise the game freely in Germany.
 ===== Installation =====
-First install from CD/Image. You should install the patch (it's the last one anyway, so you don't have to install another one anyway). The patch can only be installed with a CD (or image) inserted. The game does not need its CD after the installation. So you won't need a crack. However, the game will possibly cause certain problems on current computers, which should (allegedly) be solved with [[http://www.rechner-support.com/6375-tipps-tricks-ut-classic-%C2%B499-on-moderner-hardware-to-run.html?s=ae255618f4258a39e9e298d54510ee8e44620473|these notes]]. It has already been reported that the game on Win 7 x64 would not play smoothly on current computers, but also that it works completely without problems.
+First install from CD/Image. You should install the 436 patch (it's the last one from Epic). Its client is compatible with all older servers. The server however requires clients to have at least version 432. The patch can only be installed with a CD (or image) inserted. The game does not need its CD after the installation and longer. So you won't need a crack. However, the game will possibly cause certain problems on current computers, which should (allegedly) be solved with [[http://www.rechner-support.com/6375-tipps-tricks-ut-classic-%C2%B499-on-moderner-hardware-to-run.html?s=ae255618f4258a39e9e298d54510ee8e44620473|these notes]]. It has already been reported that the game on Win 7 x64 would not play smoothly on current computers, but also that it works completely without problems.
+Many of these problems might also be fixed with the community patch version 469v, which can get here: [[https://github.com/OldUnreal/UnrealTournamentPatches/releases|https://github.com/OldUnreal/UnrealTournamentPatches/releases]]. Newer versions might be available in the meantime as well.
+===== Game Types =====
+The game offers various game modes:
+^  Game Type  ^  Description  ^
+| Deathmatch | [[Deathmatch]] |
+| Team Deathmatch | [[Team Deathmatch]] |
+| Capture the Flag | [[Capture the Flag]] |
+| Domination | [[Domination]] |
+| Assault | [[Assault]] |
+| Last Man Standing | [[Last Man Standing]] |
 ===== Network/Internet Servers =====
 ==== Basic Settings ====
-For your own UT server you have to enable ports 7777 and 7778 (UDP). 7777 is necessary for the actual joining, 7778 is for the server data query (map, player and such stuff are queried via it).
+=== Internet Server ===
+For your own UT server you have to forward the set UDP port. The defaults are 7777 to 7780. 7777 is necessary for the actual joining/playing while 7778 is for the server data query (map, player and such stuff are queried via it).
+=== LAN Server ===
+As the server uses different ports for LAN and online play, additional ports might have to be allowed in a blocking firewall of the LAN server. By default that would be 8777 (UDP). This port is used to find out about the actual ports, mentioned in the above section. Clients will send a broadcast on ports 8777-8786 (UDP) and listen for answers. So when setting the LAN port, make sure to use a port within this range. The actual internet play port is then told to the client by the server and participation is possible. It is //not// recommended, to forward that port on your NAT router, as it is solely meant for LAN play.
+=== Query Details ===
+Read article [[Unreal Tournament 99 Query Protocol]] on details about that subject.
 ==== Do not Use Stats ====
 When starting a server, you should set your game stats value to false (''?gamestats=false''). Also set the [[cvar]] ''SendStats=False'' in section //[IpDrv.MasterServerUplink]// of your ini file. On 13.11.2018 the stats servers went offline. As [[https://www.reddit.com/r/unrealtournament/comments/9qg784/ut99_and_ut2004_stats_database/|Epic's stats servers will not return]], it does not make any sense to require players to use the stats with a pseudo account for this feature.
