Line #14 YMMV/UnrealChampionship2TheLiandriConflict


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[AwesomeMusic/{{Unreal}} Shares a page with the rest of the franchise]].
2	* BaseBreakingCharacter: [[Franchise/MortalKombat Raiden]]. Either he's a welcome GuestFighter, or he's an unnecessary addition which clashes with the rest of the game.
3	* BreatherLevel: The Hallway Ambush level in the Ascension Rites is placed between a Capture the Flag match where your team starts losing, and the Tournament's quarter finals.
4	* CultClassic: Despite carrying the ''Unreal'' name on it, few Unreal players know about it's existence due to the game being a console exclusive game (and a very obscure one, to boot). And those few who do, end up loving the game.
5	* EpilepticTrees:
6	** Was [[TheManBehindTheMan the man behind Selket]] [[VideoGame/UnrealTournament Jerl Liandri]] himself?
7	** Are the Nakhti and the Anubans the same civilization?
8	* GameBreaker: The Shock Rifle combo and the Sniper Rifle.
9	* HarsherInHindsight: MK- and especially DA-related: one of Raiden's taunts is ''"My patience for mortals has worn thin"''. The next game in the MK series, ''VideoGame/MortalKombatDeception'', deals with a dark version of Raiden being disillusioned with Earthrealm. And the line itself would later be used by the BigBad of [[VideoGame/UnrealTournamentIII the following game]]. After ''[[FranchiseKiller III]]'' there wouldn't be more Unreal games... [[VideoGame/UnrealTournament4 until the 2014 reboot]]. And ''then'' said reboot [[YankTheDogsChain got canned]] in favor of [[VideoGame/{{Fortnite}} another, more successful Epic Games franchise]].
10	* HilariousInHindsight:
11	** [[Franchise/MortalKombat Raiden]]'s appearance in the game, considering that every MK iteration, starting with 2008's ''VideoGame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse'' used a modified [[MediaNotes/GameEngine Unreal Engine]]... the same engine series which has been powering the Unreal games since the beginning.
12	** One of Raiden's taunts is [[YouFightLikeACow "You fight like Johnny Cage"]]. The game came out at the same year than ''VideoGame/MortalKombatDeadlyAlliance'', where Johnny's backstory tells us that he disliked the plot of a movie called "Mortal Kombat: The Death of Johnny Cage", where he repeatedly died and resurrected, a jab at past MK games having him dying and being resurrected.
13	** Raiden being confirmed as a playable character in ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX''. In [=UC2=] he has two exclusive adrenaline abilities called "Teleport" and "Stun Trap". In MKX, two of his variations ("Displacer" and "Master of Storms") are focused on these abilities. And there's also the countdown to his MKX reveal including a tweeted video of his [=UC2=] gameplay by Ed Boon himself.
14	** Outside of MK, Selket's wishes to rebuild the city in her own image by winning the Rites and being crowned Empress. [[VideoGame/UnrealTournament4 In 2014]], the Unreal community got the chance to collaborate with Epic Games in the free multiplayer reboot of the franchise, doing to the Unreal universe what Selket couldn't do with her hometown.
15	* RetroactiveRecognition: Anubis was voiced by Creator/DameonClarke, seven years before his StarMakingRole as [[Characters/BorderlandsHandsomeJack Handsome Jack]] from ''VideoGame/Borderlands2''.
16	* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound:
17	--> '''ADRENALINE FULL!!!'''
18	* ScrappyMechanic:
19	** Unusually for [[FirstPersonShooter an Unreal game]], the first-person mode is seen as an afterthought, at best. The extra peripheral vision being in third-person grants you, combined with the bigger emphasis on mobility this game has just makes it more practical to stay in third-person unless you're scoping with the Sniper Rifle for [[BoomHeadshot headshots]].
20	** [[FinishingMove Coup de Graces]] are almost non-existent in online play. ''Any'' sort of damage knocks an opponent out of freeze, and it's entirely too easy to have your Coup de Grace attempt interrupted with someone else's fire. If the enemy was frozen by melee attacks, chances are a strong melee hit will finish them off anyway and there are more practical ways of getting more adrenaline.
21	* SlowPacedBeginning: The Ascension Rites begin with a series of cutscenes meant to introduce the characters as well as some training levels with your partner. The first proper combat happens in ''the fourth rung''.
22	* ThatOneLevel: [[ThatOneLevel/{{Unreal}} Shares a page with the rest of the franchise]].
23	* VindicatedByHistory: The game is seen as way ahead of its time nowadays, especially because a lot of staples of the HeroShooter genre in general can be found in this game.
