History Trivia / UnrealTournamentIII

*** [=CTF-SearchLight=] was going to be included in the retail version. It didn't made the cut, though it was released later as a free addon.

* CreatorKiller: While the game initially sold well, it quickly dropped off the sales charts thanks to the releases of ''VideoGame/{{Bioshock}}'' and Epic's own ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar''. Creator/MidwayGames, who published the game in a last-ditch effort to prevent financial collapse, saw little profit from sales, effectively marking the point of no return for Midway. The company filed for bankruptcy two years later.

** Tanika Cato voiced Lauren in ''Unreal Championship 2''. Sirena Irwin takes the role for ''Unreal Tournament III''.
** PatrickAmos voiced Malcolm in ''Unreal Championship 2''. GregEagles took the role for ''Unreal Tournament III''.

** Some teams from [=UT2004=] were supposed to be here, but never appeared.

* WorkingTitle: ''Unreal Tournament 2007'' (there was a trailer which had a logo with this entry) and ''Envy''.

* {{Vaporware}}: The Linux and Mac ports. Since it's release date, EpicGames stated time and time again that they had contracted Ryan "Icculus" Gordon (who created or at least took a part in the ports for these platforms of many other games, including past Unreal installments) to create the Linux and Mac ports of the game. Screenshots showed up, [[DevelopmentHell there were messages about the development]], but it wasn't until December 2010 that it was confirmed that those ports will never happen. Couple this with Epic giving lower priority to a PC game (they were more involved in the next VideoGame/GearsOfWar games and VideoGame/{{Bulletstorm}}) and we have a sad cocktail.

** Earlier previews showed that the "Canister Gun" was planned to be ported over from UC2 as a Grenade Launcher/Mine Layer/Bio Rifle hybrid, but then they realized it was going to be super complicated implementing 2 different possible ammo types simultaneously on the same gun.
