History Trivia / UnrealChampionship2TheLiandriConflict

* RoleReprise: Chase Ashbaker and Herman Sanchez reprise their roles as [[Characters/MortalKombatRaiden Raiden]] and [[Characters/MortalKombatShaoKahn Shao Kahn]] by way of ''VideoGame/MortalKombatDeadlyAlliance'' and ''VideoGame/MortalKombatDeception''.

* DoingItForTheArt: For a multiplayer-based game, it's so full of little details... Each individual ladder isn't just a bunch of matches done randomly. It takes every character through their own journey to achieve their objective, be it searching for a great warrior for your cause, just winning the Tournament, getting revenge on your rival... And the Rites themselves take distance from the rest of the Tournament/Championship saga (sans ''VideoGame/UnrealTournamentIII'' perhaps) as ''the'' single-player mode.

* RelationshipVoiceActor: The BattleCouple of [[Creator/StephanieYoung Selket]] and [[JimForonda Apophis]] are also [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Olivier Mira Armstrong and Denny Brosh]].

* RefittedForSequel:
** The manual for ''VideoGame/{{Unreal|I}}'' mentions the Rifle having a three-shot burst as an AlternateFire. This feature was replaced by a zooming feature in the retail game, however the idea was reused in this game as one of the many features of its version of the SniperRifle.
** Visse's description in the Deathmatch ladder of ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament'' mentions that the female Necris (the "Blademaiden") favor cruelly formed bayonets and energy swords. While the game doesn't feature bayonets, said energy swords were made the melee weapon of the female Necris in this game.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** This game started as ''[[WorkingTitle Unreal Tournament 2005]]'', due to Atari wanting an VideoGame/UnrealTournament game with FIFA-esque regularity, in order to emphasize the "sport" part of the franchise. Then, the title changed and it became an Xbox exclusive game.
** Also, this game was going to be the first game using Epic’s Unreal Engine 3, but it was changed early in the dev cycle to use the Unreal Engine 2X and be an Xbox exclusive.
** Xan Kriegor was going to be playable, with a feet-less concept. This feature alone cut him out of the game, as the dev team couldn't find a solution to the concept which clashed with the gameplay.
** According to another developer, a vehicle-based gametype was created, with even specialized maps, but they clashed with the core mechanics of the game, so it didn't made the cut for the game.
