AirBuccaneers
Unreal Tournament 2004 mod | Released Aug 30, 2006
AirBuccaneers (UT2004 total conversion) contains a new multiplayer game type with hot air balloons and cannons. The game is a compelling combination of graceful air ballet, fierce pirate-like action and 3D tactical manoeuvring. AirBuccaneers is targeted for team players who want to experience something unique.
Key features:
- New multiplayer type containing intense and strategic hot air balloon fights
- Heavy emphasis on teamplay and cooperation
- New player models, weapons, graphics and sounds to complete the unique atmosphere
- Different maps for diverse scenarios and objectives
- Unique game concept and original content
- Genre mix (airwar, tactical vehicle ops and "sea" battles)
- Simple control interface (action button, jump, walk, strafe, turn, throw "weapon", F1 for stats)
The game consists of highly original concept and content. The new type of multiplayer game involving intense and strategic hot air balloon fights is crafted by mixing the game genres of airwar and seat battles with FPS aspects.
AirBuccaneers offers simple enough control interface which enables low learning threshold. The players interact and experience their surroundings by using their player characters in the atmospherically engaging virtual world. Thematic player models, weapons, graphics and sounds complete the unique atmosphere.
The high concept of the game is the graceful control scheme of hot air balloons. Slow movement speeds and large-sized targets reduce the amount of hand-eye-coordination and leave more room for strategic and tactical thinking. The adrenalin rush provided by the intense smoke-filled battle of airborne hot air balloons is one of the most important gameplay aspects.

Nice mod.
If you live in the UK, you can save downloading it by buying a copy of PC Gamer. It appeared on the DVD (but there was no feature in the mag).
This is one of my favorite mods, in my oppion, funner than the origional game itself. Aside from some bugs, it works... for the most part, though I guess I can't complain, it IS a beta after all... Well I hope another patch comes soon (and hopefully it'll fix my problem of not being able to play Single Player on it... IE No Maps Avalable (Beta 4.1)) namely fixing AI bugs prehapse? And possibly the 2 blank spots under the Voice Command menu...
Ahoy, mateys!
Arrrrr, this be a fine mod! Shiver me timbers, it be so easy to play, and be lots of fun as well!
A must download, this be!
Arrrrr!
this mod looks frikkin amazing!
the idea is also really original and it looks like a lot of fun
good luck!
Impressive job. Fixes in latest BETA are well thought out. Wait til you get hit by a gust of wind. It's like you're actually there (but a lot more fun).
Explosions could be better but who am I kidding? This is a keeper if you like air battles.
It''s just like Wooden Ships and Iron Men but in the air!
A lot of effort went into this and it shows.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
It is time to heat up your balloons and load your cannons. The graceful air ballet and fierce pirate-like action is back with a vengeance. Something original, slightly weird and definitely loads of fun!
