- wlesieutre 9y agoYeah, I honestly hate that name. Just by the meaning of words, Unreal Tournament is an "online multiplayer battle arena" but somehow it came to mean specifically "top-down Warcraft 3 custom map with fighting in 3 lanes" now. But the lane fighting genre has been all downhill since Monday Night Combat anyway, so I'm happy to ignore it :P
- delecti 9y agoA number of genre names are only meaningful because people already know what they refer to. Probably the best example is RPG, which ostensibly applies to effectively every game where the player controls a character with a persona.
