What will the basic story be?

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
Let's ask the serious question; did more story ever really help the Unreal Tournament games? The first UT sidestepped a lot of noise just by making it a reality TV show like Battle Royale of the future. No cutscenes, no Malcolm giving speeches, no revenge stories, no rebellion against some alien regime/dead people with guns through a series of Capture the Flag games (lol). Just give a guy a gun and tell him to look good on TV.

It should be a very intriguing story about the emotional highs and depths of the people from the 25th century, especially the gladiators of the blood stained arenas. Their pligths, grievances but unquestionably indomitable spirits which will lead them to victory, said being hundreds of millions of [liandri money] and breathtaking, shiny sprakling trophies on the mantlepiece.

And last but not least, the biggest surprise of all UT games:

The entire tournament, ranging from ut99 to ut3, has been taking place in a nalicow's ass

Hey, I have a cool idea for a background story:
In 2291, in an attempt to control violence among deep-space miners, the New Earth Government legalized no-holds-barred fighting. Liandri Mining Corporation working with the NEG established a series of leagues and bloody public exhibitions. The fight's popularity grew with their brutality. Soon, Liandri discovered that the public matches were their most profitable enterprise.

The professional league was formed. A cabal of the most violent and skilled warriors in known space, selected to fight in a Grand Tournament.

Now it is 2341, fifty years have passed since the founding of Deathmatch. Profits from the tournament number in the hundreds of billions. You have been selected to fight in the Professional League by the Liandri Rules Board. Your strength and brutality are legendary. The time has come to prove you are the best.

To crush your enemies.

To win the tournament.

:lol:

Yeah; you go that right.

And someone else said exactly that; all that is required is background. Leave story to Bioshock.
