The Ball
Unreal Tournament 3 mod | Released May 7, 2009
The Ball is a singleplayer action and puzzle mod for Unreal Tournament 3. It competes in the MakeSomethingUnreal Contest, and it has won three first prizes in so far (Best Gametype - 2 x Best Use of Physics), and one 3rd place (Best Mod). Additionally it has won the ModDB MOTY Best Singleplay Mod of 2008 award. The Ball offers an adventure that puts you in the boots of a geologist who gets stuck in a cavern and bumps onto an ancient and Mesoamerican complex holding a mysterious ball. While making your way through the internal workings of ancient ziggurats, golden cities, and huge caverns, your only companion is a giant gold and metal-shelled ball, a mysterious artifact in its own right, that you use to make your way through a series of rooms and caverns, and to crush enemies with. As you progress through the mod, slowly the real purpose of this gigantic complex becomes clear, and you are sucked into a thousands of years old story of betrayal and secrecy.
The Ball - Teotl - Released
The Ball - Teotl has finally been released! Following the success of Oztoc and Pehua, Teotl continues the story and offers over four hours of singleplay gameplay.

It took our team 7 months, but we have finished and released the third installment of The Ball - Teotl!
- At least twice as big as the previous release
- We have redone large parts of the first three levels
- More than 4 hours of singleplay gameplay
- 100 Percent all new art and content
- Over 16 secret to discover and one very hard to find shortcut.
- Solve puzzles and fight monsters in a mysterious world deep inside a volcano!
- Previous installments have won a triple first prize in the Make Something Unreal contest and was awarded "Best Singleplay Mod of 2008" by ModDB.
You must have Patch 2.0 for UT3 installed or above. You must manually remove any previous versions of the mod you may have installed.
The previous (and updated) releases of this mod are also included in Teotl - there is no need to download Oztoc and Pehua separately if you have not played those yet. In fact, it will not function if you try to combine this version with the two previous ones.
And some new screenshots - showing off the boss fight with our zombie gorilla.

Too bad I can't beat 2 because I get stuck and no one will help...
cant wait to grab this once home!
That's one awesome looking ape!
The puzzles in this one actually made me think D:... But I still loved it :) and the Boss at the end was GREAT.
Hmm, maybe i should buy UT3 just to play this (?).
You probably should, yeah, and for some other mods that'll be coming out(Some time)
Yes and for many others :D
O.o The ball.
Righto, well, apart from the name I bet it's pretty fun.
Lets start this f**r up and see what it can do eh?
Is this mod working with the DD version of UT3? (Steam,Impulse,Direct2Drive)
It should yes. We have only tested it with regular and steam. There is no reason why it shouldn't work with other versions.
Thanks.
The video is awesome! Very atmospheric.
For some reason I can't get this to work...whenever I click on the shortcut it just opens UT3.
Hehheh, whenever I get UT3 for my PS3 (my PCs performance is degrading...) I'm going to be sure to d/l this. :D Thanks for making The Ball PS3 compatible!! ;)
