This is a sub-page of Proto:Unreal Tournament (PC, 1999)/Version 222.

Sub-Pages#

DM-LiandriDM-Liandri is a completely different level in this prototype! DM-TutorialV222's DM-Tutorial has very little in common with its final version. DM-BarricadeDM-Barricade couldn't hold out from map makers changing it. DM-CodexThe CliffyB secret and a chunk of the level are missing! DM-ConveyorThe Shock Rifle section goes MIA. DM-FetidYou can still see this level's differences, despite the Superman 64-caliber levels of fog. DM-GrinderDM-Grinder gets the texture makeover it deserves, not wants. DM-KGalleonWho put all of these crates and wooden boards in the middle of the level? DM-OblivionDM-Oblivion has a completely different skybox in this build. DM-PeakDM-Peak's texturing gets grimdark with dark bricks on every wall. DM-PressureThe pressure chamber is tiny and there's a Sniper Rifle in the level. DM-PyramidOoohh, pretty-looking weapon stands and strange ammo placement. DM-TurbineThis version is cleaner looking than it is in the final. DM-ZetoSomeone hates red lights.

Missing Levels#

DM-Deck16 II, DM-Hyperblast, DM-Morbias II, DM-Morpheus, and DM-Phobos do not appear in this prototype.

Unreal Deathmatch Levels#

The most common distribution of this prototype comes with all of Unreal's deathmatch levels, including the ones used as promos for various Unreal-related goodies. The person who repackaged them seems to have thought that these levels were meant to be included with the prototype for some reason. However, a look through the game's code shows that the default deathmatch level list never lists any of Unreal's deathmatch levels. In addition, this video, which shows an earlier build, has DM-Barricade listed as the first Deathmatch level around 1:00 instead of DmAriza, an Unreal deathmatch level, which would be the first level shown in the level select menu if the Unreal deathmatch levels were included with Unreal Tournament at one point.

Therefore, it is very likely that the Unreal deathmatch levels included in the most common distribution are not an actual part of the prototype and were added by a third party under a mistaken belief that this prototype had them at one point, but were removed by someone else.

DM-Fractal#

Bots#

DM-Fractal will quickly crash after loading if there are any bots in the level. The only way to explore the level is to play it without bots.

Lower Computer Screens#

The computer screens on the lower floor are a scrolling and futuristic-looking wall texture with various shapes on them.

DM-Stalwart#

Props#

All of the props in the level, such as the traffic cones and wheels, are missing in this prototype. This makes getting the Body Armor a bit trickier, as there isn’t a mechanic tool box for the player to stand on before they jump to the Body Armor.
