Mouse

Although you can rely solely on your keyboard to move around in and interact in Unreal Tournament's 3D universe, using both the keyboard and mouse simultaneously gives you much more fluid and responsive control.

When you use the mouse to control your rotational movement and aiming you gain a degree of precision and speed that players using keyboard-only controls can't touch. The keyboard is best used for easy lateral and forward/backward movement, and for jumping.

To master the default controls in Unreal Tournament, keep your left hand on the keyboard, using the arrow keys for movement, the 0-9 keys for weapon selection, and the space bar for jumping. Your right hand operates the mouse, controlling rotation, aiming, and firing. Of course, you can customize these controls to suit your preferences via the Options Menu.

Speech Menu

Press and hold the V key to open the speech menu. While you hold V your mouse will become activated and you can select various commands and taunts. Under the Orders submenu you can select a job to assign to a teammate. If your bot is a teammate they will automatically carry out your orders. The available orders are:

Defend the Base.
The ordered bot will immidiately make his way to your base and protect it from enemy attack.
Cover Me.
The bot will find you and follow you attacking enemies that you encounter.
Assault the Base.
Orders the bot to go offensive. In CTF this order is replaced with "Capture the Enemy Flag."
Hold this Position.
The bot will find your current location and try to protect it from enemy attack.
Freelance.
Releases the bot from previous orders. A freelancing bot will make their own battlefield decisions.

If you give an order to "All" then every bot on your team will attempt to complete the order. If you look at a bot the speech menu will have the option to "Order This Bot."
