this script runs beautifully on the GOG version of the game. Without it, using POL 4.2.2 and Wine 1.7.51 (32-bit prefix), the GOG installer would freeze with an error at the end of the installation. With this script, the installation finished just fine and the game launched normally afterwards.
You don't need to, but to enjoy the full arensal of vehicles, you can download Unreal 2004 FULL version for as low as $9.99 from GOG. Or buy at Amazon.com from $12.95 or as low as 2.49 from Amazon UK.

The full version offers many more maps, vehicles, mutators (things you can add to modify the game behavior including new vehicles and effects), various new game types and most importantly, more multiplayer servers! And yes, you can still play on existing demo servers.
I tried the demo and even bought the full version. Sad to say, the game is missing many useful UI elements (e.g. font size adjustment and Tab key to display score board) and gameplay (e.g. many weapons and vehicles removed) from Unreal 2004. No doubt the graphics are good, but the overall game still sucks.
Returning from the PC version of Unreal Tournament 2003, UT Classic is a mutator that modifies the attributes of certain weapons to be more in-line with their original Unreal Tournament counterparts. While most of the weapon updates from the UT2003 version were streamlined into base UT2004, this version provides four weapon updates:
All of the modes of play and maps from Unreal Tournament 2003, along with the downloadable mission packs from 2003, more than 20 original maps, and a number of other features can be found in Unreal Tournament 2004. One major addition to the Unreal Tournament series is the inclusion of vehicles. Both land and air-based vehicles are accessible, as are a number of new weapons, including land mines, rocket-propelled grenades, and stationary gun turrets.
Unreal Tournament 2004 isn't just for playing against your buddies, either. As in previous games, there's a full set of ladders to fight through, simulating a player's career in the futuristic tournament. After starting out with a simple 1v1 match and then a few free-for-all qualifiers, you get to draft your own players and become captain of your own team before moving on to team deathmatch. After the qualifiers, the full ladder opens up, which consists of mini-tourneys for Double Domination, Capture the Flag, Bombing Run and Assault.
It's worth pointing out that Unreal Tournament 2004 includes a plethora of team communication options, from simple text chat to preset macros to full-on voice-over-IP communication. (There's even a goofy text-to-speech converter that turns chat into Stephen Hawking-like broadcasts.) I actually went as far as to buy a USB headset to use with the UT 2004 demo, and from the looks of things, I'll be getting a lot of use out of it. You can assign keys to open up public and team channels, and you can always disable it if you don't want to hear all the chatter. Like just about everything else in UT 2004, it's polished and has a purpose. 2ff7e9595c
