The UT2 map format belongs to the Unreal Tournament games developed by Epic Games. A map file stores a level's geometry, game objects, lighting and other data used to create a playable environment.
Unreal Tournament 2003 and Unreal Tournament 2004 use these files for their maps. On Microsoft Windows, the files can be played with the corresponding game and edited with UnrealEd, the level editor used for Unreal Engine games.
Later versions of Unreal Tournament use different map formats. For example, Unreal Tournament 3 uses the ut3 extension.
On Microsoft Windows, open a .ut2 file with UnrealEd to edit the map. The map can also be loaded and played with Unreal Tournament 2003 or Unreal Tournament 2004.
UT2 files are also used in various games based on the Unreal Engine. If the file is not associated with an application, open it from UnrealEd or place it in the appropriate Maps folder for the game and load it from the game's map selection.
There is no standard conversion from the .ut2 format to another game-map format. UnrealEd can be used to edit and save the map in its native format, but adapting the map for a different Unreal Tournament release may require rebuilding parts of it.
