Unreal Tournament 3 / Game Types & Mods / The Crucible

Since the dawn of time, just beyond the veil of the known, souls of the dead have gathered in battle to determine their fate. It is on this plane, the gateway between the realms, the bridge between Heaven, Hell and the mortal realm, that Angel, Demon and mortal will battle to decide their fate.

A place where you will fight for your very soul. A place Where the weak will perish and the strong will prevail. A place where mortals and the forces of Heaven and Hell collide in a titanic battle.

This is the Crucible: the ultimate trial.

The mod is NOT a TC, and comes as a collection of mutators, the primary one being the "Crucible Weapons" mutator. There is also a "Road Rage" gametype, which features maniacal vehicle combat.
