UT - Mutators
Those are all Unreal Tournament mutators.
Perhaps with a little modification they might work on newer
versions of the game, but I can't help you there. Perhaps when
UT2005/6/7 has been released, and Epic has written a
cross-platform editor, I'll work further on them.
Only the latest versions of the (once) popular mods are listed
here. You can always take a look in the files
directory to see if it contains what you're looking for.
Monster Madness
Monster Madness is the most popular of the mutators here.
It adds monsters from Unreal's single player game
to any gametype. Killing them will give you a frag, killing a
Titan or a Warlord will give you 3 frags because they are so much
harder to kill.
There are a lot of configuration options, all accessable from a
nice GUI inside the game. This includes the ability to select
which monsters will show up.
This mutator was ranked a 9.3 of 10 by Modsquad.

External Sniper
You're a sniper on the red team. Zoomed in, and ready for your
fifth head-shot in a row. Suddenly, your view is totally blurred
by a blue haze, and before you can zoom out to actually see the
bad guy standing in front of you, his flak cannon has already
blown to pieces.
I guess this happened to everybody at some point. With this
mod, problems like these are gone. Your sniper rifle will
have a display with a nice zoomed-in view: the External
Sniper Display (ESD). I saw this in a demo of the game BattleZone,
and then I knew I had found a theme for a great mod.

Sticky grenades
This mutator replaces all Flak Cannons with Sticky
Cannons. The primary fire is the same as that of a flak
cannon, only it fires a little faster. The secondary fire spits
out pointy grenades that stick to players and
walls/floors/ceilings etc.
The cannon itself requires quite a different strategy, because
you can't really run after your grenades. It is quite nice though,
to stick a few of those pointy fellows into your opponent, and
see them blown to pieces from several yards away
:-) The grenades explode when damaged, so you can create a chain
reaction by placing multiple grenades together ie. on a wall, and
then shoot them with the rocket launcher.

Shrinker
I always liked Duke Nukem 3D. One of the nice things was the
shrink-gun. Well, here it is, for Unreal Tournament! You aren't
able to squish small opponents (yet), though. When a player is
shrunk, he:
- Walks slower
- Jumps lower
- Causes less damage
- Receives more damage
After a period of time a shrunk player will grow back to
his/her original size.

QHealth
A while before writing this mutator, I played Quake 3 Arena for
the first time. I noticed that all players start with 125% health,
and if you have more than 100% heath, it slowly drops. I think
it is fair to give a freshly spawned player a little more
time to find some useful items. Since I like Unreal
Tournament a lot more, I wrote a mutator which mimics this
behaviour.
I've also written a very small tutorial on QHealth. It is small,
for the simple reason this mutator is only 25 lines long!
