Chaos: UT

Third-party mod
This article is about an officially-released third-party mod. Only mods that have been part of official Unreal releases are allowed on this wiki. Third-party mods are not considered canon to the Unreal Universe unless an Epic Games or Digital Extremes employee (past or present) stated otherwise.

Chaos: UT is a custom game modification (mod) for Unreal Tournament. It comes with the Game of the Year Edition, but it's also available as a free download.

Synopsis[]

Overview[]

The GOTY version of the mod consists of four mutators: ChaosUT, Sword Arena, Sword Melee and No Health. Version 1.1 retains the ChaosUT, Sword Melee and No Health mutators while adding Arena Mutator and Grapple Only.

Sword Arena removes every weapon and pickup from the map and gives the players the Bastard Sword. Sword Melee replaces the Impact Hammer with the Bastard Sword as the melee weapon, and No Health removes every health pickup (Health Vial, Health Pack and Big Keg o' Health) from the map. Grapple Only allows the players to use the Hook on non-Chaos maps.

Development history[]

The first beta of the mod was released on June 17, 2000. It came with the Bastard Sword, the Crossbow with two of the three types of ammo (Regular and Explosive, only Poisonous was missing), the Proximity Mines and the Chaos Sniper V2, as well as the Armor Shard. Other features added were the Kamikaze, Kick and Spawn Protection. The second beta included the Poisonous Arrows for the Crossbow, as well as introducing The Claw and the mutators Sword Melee, Sword Arena and No Health.

Gamemodes[]

Starting with version 1.1, there are CUT variants of the six regular gametypes, plus new gametypes King of the Hill, Team KOTH, Sword Arena and Team Sword Arena. The game's take on KOTH is more similar to Domination than Unreal's KOTH, as the players must stay inside of a zone for a determined amount of time in order to win. The maps come with the UT: Game of the Year Edition and the GOTY Mappack for non-GOTY editions of UT.

Trivia[]

The GravBelt is a nod to CTF-LavaGiant, which specifically says that combatants are issued these belts in order to be able to fight.
The Grappling Hook and Armor Shard are taken from the Quake series.

Accolades[]

The mod was one of the very few to win Cliff Bleszinski's CliffyB's Ownage award:

"This mod is pure and total...well, Chaos! Just like the name says this mod is the epitome of chaotic combat. From the moment you pick up the (very badass looking) Bastard Sword and run someone through, you'll know you're in for a great time.

With the recent excitement about "real world" mods, it's nice to see these kinds of "insane weapon" mods still being built.

I'm surprised at the quality of the weapon models in this mod. They're near commercial quality, especially the crossbow. The Proximity Mines show a great sense of humor on the part of the developers. These evil little grenades laugh and bounce and chase your foes - and are a hell of a lot of fun!

I've only seen one level that was built for this mod and, while the layout is good, the lighting and architecture are a bit bland. I hope more people are able to make maps for this ass-kicking mod!"
