7. (Adrenaline Icon) The adrenaline icon is grayed out when a player is out or when a player is spectating another player. Note that the adrenaline icon only reflects the adrenaline of the local player in networked games. This is because the adrenaline amount for other players are not sent over the network.

13. (Scoreboard) The new scoreboard shows whether this is a Standalone Match, Ranked Match, or Unranked Match, and includes the match identifier.
14. (Awards) Awards have been consolidated into a single award, statistics and notification system. At most three awards are shown at a time. This is a shameless copy of the Gears of War style sidebar.

22. (Final Kill Slow-Motion) When a player kills the last player on the other team, the level is told to do a slow-motion death, like that mutator that comes with the game, but only for this death. This is a bit experimental. It works, but some karma ragdolls don't like certain damage types.

(Action Messages) Most in-game action messages such as "You killed Player Name," "You were killed by Player Name," "PLAYER NAME IS OUT," "Overkill," and so on, have been consolidated into one part of the screen which allows the player to control the common font size, and whether or not to use symbols by the messages.

39. (Team Resources) The team symbols are replaced with a recycling icon to indicate the number of lives all players on each teams have left.

    • Leave: PlayerName LEFT
    • Leave shortly after dying: PlayerName RAGE QUIT
45. (Improved Pickup Feedback) The pickup logic has been improved to show how much ammunition you pick up, rather than saying "You got the Rocket Launcher" when you pick up a dropped weapon.

    • [Shield] + 50
    • [Link Ammo] x 30
    • [Rocket Launcher] x 10
47. (Weapon Switch Feedback) When switching weapons, the player gets a visual feedback on how much ammunition remains. The player may also to choose between using a fixed color or the default weapon color, as well as use the icon of the weapon instead of the name.

49. (Console Messages) A variety of format changes have been made with regards to player names in chat messages.

51. (DeRez) The DeRez effect has been changed from green to a more neutral white with gold colored sparkles considering the custom colored skins.
52. (UT2004Fix) Sometimes team symbols would be the same. This has been fixed.
53. (UT2004Fix) When a player joined, the initial player start would not be respected with regards to the rotation of the view.
54. (UT2004Fix) When a player joined a match which was over, the player would not enter the GameEnded state.

56. (UT2004Fix) Players can no longer change behindview at the end of a match or on dead players.
57. (UT2004Fix) Attempted fix for skeleton attachment log spam because attached effects were not removed at death.
58. (UT2004Fix) The ToggleScreenShotMode command now restores handedness.
59. (UT2004Fix) TakeDrowningDamage would get called from an orphaned pawn, thus resulting in minor none-access attempts.
60. (UT2004Fix) PlayTakeHit had an error when checking the damage type, causing some sounds not to be played.
61. (UT2004Fix) Corrected player state changes when player becomes active participant.
62. (UT2004Fix) ClientVoiceMessage did not check Player.
63. (UT2004Fix) When a spectated player got destroyed, the camera would just hang around.
64. (UT2004Fix) SetName strips bad color codes and handles reserved characters correctly. Both clients and the server do the same checks, to eliminate uncessary calls.
65. (UT2004Fix) If the time limit was 2 minutes, CheckCountdown would announce that 2 minutes remain, even though the match had yet to start.
66. (UT2004Fix) Various state changes and forced replications have been added.
67. (UT2004Fix) Sometimes, in matches that require a level reset, the player would get killed shortly after spawning, because clicking the left mouse button at a certain point would have the PlayerController enter a Spectating state, ignoring ClientRestart calls and killing the pawn in the process.

ReTDM Changes

1. (Pickup Notifications) A server can optionally notify all players when a weapon or powerup gets picked up and by whom.
2. (Feedback|Respawns Depleted) In a match where players have a limited number of lives, the player will be notified once respawns have been depleted when spawning on its last life. Assumes a match where players have two or more lives.
