Xan has kicking taunts. UT should really bring him back. Right along with being able to choose whatever voice pack you want to run. It rocked being a different character with xans voice
You can already have different voices, just choose a female or krall model and your hitsounds will still be that of DemoGuy. 
Official storyline stated that Malcolm became champion, but it didn't influenced single player ladder when you chose your character
What I don't get thought. is that the start up movie shows Brock, not Malcolm.
It's a shame about the robot class in UT1. Not compatible with most fun voicepacks. I've never heard xan kriegor with al bundy's voice...
UT1 Xan was awesome. Had an amazing voicepack (best in the entire series in my opinion), stood out from all the other characters in the ladder who used the same four human models (with the exception of the Skaarj Hybrids in the bonus packs), and was built up throughout the game as the Tournament's evil overlord through various mentions in character bios and billboards in the maps.
When you finally face him (and I think Hyperblast is the only map in the SP ladder to use the GoDown music), it feels epic and special.
Malcolm? I'll never understand how he became the Unreal posterboy. Talk about generic. They certainly gimped Xan in UT2004 though.

I'm just glad there was plenty of custom content made for this game. The default characters are indeed very generic.
I love the way Xan exploded, though Suddenly that head turned into a gigantic eh....bucket or so. Pretty sweet.

UT3 wins just for the hilarity alone as far as I'm concerned!
Although as far as UT3 custom content goes, the Carmine player from the Gears of War character pack is REALLY hilarious.
Though I still think my mix of System Shock 2 hybrids and Dawn of War Chaos/Space Marines, Orks, Berserkers, etc., Serious Sam, and Cole from GoW make for the best voice experience

Try these:
* Nanoblack, sustain me!
* I shall burn the flesh from your soul.
* Death gives you purpose.
* I am forever.
Ultimate stylishness IMO. Akasha is so smoking hot.

UT3 taunts ****ing own.
Akasha still remains the only interesting UT boss I've faced. Aside Selket, of course.

Too bad I never played UC2. Perhaps because I refuse to buy an XBox, for no matter which game. What I have to say to Epic for the Championship and GoW2 f**kup is this:
No one will ever force me to buy a console, just by publishing a console-exclusive title. If someone is indeed foolish enough to try this, they will not earn the money they would have earned if they published the game in a crossplatform manner. Their error, their fate. I do not have to play everything, and albeit I feel sad because of this, I absolutely refuse to be forced to buy an XBox just to play UC2, just because Epic was foolish enough to ignore PC players on this. Their idiocy, their price to pay. This will eventually get converted piece by piece (most models and a few maps already are), so PC players will get to play UC2 for free, so Epic WILL pay their toll.

Actually, it would make more sense to port UC2 assets to UT3 instead of UT2004, since UC2 was released after UT2004 and thus isn't covered by it's EULA. UC2004 did get express Epic permission, though.
I could do without "Nanoblack sustain me," as it tends to be a little long for its purpose, and the UC2 version of "My blood is black" is a lot more interesting.
Jester's still my favorite, though, like the evolution of the Fem1 voicepack from UT1.
If they bring back Xan as an interesting character again (ie: ditch the capture/reprogrammed story from 2k4) and keep going with the Ghost in the Shell stuff they've got going, where we're not sure if/to what extent he's still human, he could be fun.
I'd almost like to see him in an Alpha 152 / Magician type role, though the rampaging super-creation is probably too played-out.
I'm caught between wanting to do something more interesting with him, and wondering if the simple bad-assedness of, "I'm here to mop the floor with everything, so run, human!" is enough, and anything more complex would ruin what makes him cool, like giving Duke Nukem a moralistic side-plot.
Heavily implied in 2k4 when he led the robot revolution, was captured and reprogrammed. But, then, in UT it's never clear that the robots are 100% artificial, aside from the few that get such status specified.

In UT99, he was partially organic definitely. 1. Look at the gibs, 2. He screams with pain. Why implement a nerve system to a machine, it would only make it vulnerable? He is a cyborg, obviously, the nerve system is there because it wasn't totally removed.
It's a video game, guys. Called UNREAL Tournament. And the robots in UT3 grunt when they take hits, too
I tend to agree with Delacroix as a Liandri Archivist. Although that could have been laziness on the dev's side - all gibs are organic, making new ones + decals for a single model doesn't make that much sense. And screaming can be easily text-to-speeched in a future that distant, if not simply recorded.
Well, laziness is War Machines not being of Robot Class, but perhaps they are cyborgs with less machinery in them than Xan.

He was much cooler being mysterious and unclear whether he is man or machine.
