Another entry in Epic's UT2003 mod contest is Jupiter Effect: Influx, a full multiplayer conversion of Unreal Tournament 2003. JEI is a very fast paced game with large robots that can do large amounts of damage very quickly. Jupiter Effect was taken from a scientific theory claming that the alignment of planetary bodies can create massive disturbance on our surface such as tidal waves and earthquakes.

What is JEI?
Jupiter Effect: influx is a full multiplayer conversion of Unreal Tournament 2003. Although JEI uses the core engine for game play little else remains of the original Unreal game.
Why the name Jupiter Effect: Influx?
JEI is a very fast paced game with large robots that can do large amounts of damage very quickly. We wanted to portray this power and energy in our title. Jupiter Effect was taken from a scientific theory claming that the alignment of planetary bodies can create massive disturbance on our surface such as tidal waves and earthquakes. We thought this immense power represented out characters well. Influx was later added to give the title a bit of an edge and provide a good abbreviation.
