Mods
Where to Download
Mods can be easily found through quick Google searches; there are many fan sites dedicated to Unreal Tournament 3 modding with the most popular being Beyond Unreal or Epic Games Official Forums. Epic Games Official Forums have a forum category for custom maps and mods. An Epic Games Forum post has the winners of the "Make Something Unreal" contest which list many great mods for different categories.
Maps
Maps are custom levels that are created using mod tools or editors.
- A forum user at Giant Bomb has compiled a list of essential maps, although some have broken links.
- A list of essential custom maps for Unreal Tournament 3 can be found on GameSpy's Planet Unreal website.
- Community Bonus Pack (CBP) is a famous map pack featuring many great high quality maps.

- The Unreal Old Friends Map Packs Volume 1 and Volume 2 contain a high amount of high quality maps in various game types.
Characters and Skins
Characters are unique custom races that can be downloaded, skins are different color schemes or textures for current existing races.
- Skins and characters can be downloaded from Beyond Unreal's Skin City website.
Total Conversion
Total conversion mods use the game's engine, while letting you play a whole new game, for example The Ball mod which is a single player total conversion mod.
- Total conversion mods can mostly be found in Mod DB's Unreal Tournament 3 page.
- The Haunted is the winner of the "Make Something Unreal" contest and one of many entries of the contest that have gone commercial as a stand alone game.

Multi-monitor
- The game is compatible with AMD/ATI's Eyefinity solution and NVIDIA's Vision Surround solution although the HUD elements are enlarged and disproportional. Increasing the FOV can help with multimonitor displays but the weapon view models and HUD elements get in the way. Widescreen Gaming Forum's article also has an FOV fix for multimonitor displays as well as more information.
Field of view (FOV)
- Unreal Tournament 3 supports an FOV view slider in the options menu, however the slider moves to a maximum of 100 which is roughly correct for 16:10 displays. As described in Widescreen Gaming Forum's article, a custom mutator, FreeFOV must be used to increase the FOV further for 16:9 displays.
Anisotropic filtering (AF)
- Unreal Tournament 3 does not have an anisotropic filtering option, it's changed through the "Texture Quality" option. Anisotropic filtering can be forced through AMD/ATI or NVIDIA driver settings.
Anti-aliasing (AA)
- Unreal Tournament 3 does not natively support anti-aliasing and must be forced through AMD/ATI or NVIDIA driver settings.
