If you came here looking for Unreal Tournament: the list labels ut.pieter.com as "Unreal Tournament", but the site runs Urban Terror, the free tactical shooter by FrozenSand. The "ut" stands for Urban Terror.
It is still worth a try. It is multiplayer on the ut4_casa map, loads with no install, and Urban Terror itself is free.
Listed in the post as Unreal Tournament.
The original post calls this link "Unreal Tournament", but the site is Urban Terror, the free tactical shooter by FrozenSand. It is a different game.

If you searched for Unreal Tournament and landed here, this is why: the Radiant Optimizer list labels ut.pieter.com as "Unreal Tournament", but the site runs Urban Terror in browser. The "ut" stands for Urban Terror. Unreal Tournament, Epic's 1999 arena shooter, is not on the list.
Urban Terror is a good find anyway. It is a free tactical shooter with realistic weapons and very fast movement, and the browser version loads with no install or game files.
Urban Terror started around 2000 as a Quake III Arena mod by a team called Silicon Ice and later became a standalone free game maintained by FrozenSand on the open-source ioquake3 engine. It mixes realistic modern firearms with movement tricks like wall jumping, sprinting and ledge climbing. That combination gives it a style often described as Counter-Strike speed with Quake mobility.
The desktop version of Urban Terror is still a free download from FrozenSand with many more maps and modes, including bomb and capture the flag. The browser version is a slice of it, one map, ready in seconds. It is ideal for a quick match on a machine where you cannot install anything.
There is no Unreal Tournament link in the viral list. For the closest experience available here, try Quake III Arena on the Quake in browser page, which offers the same kind of fast arena deathmatch. The Quake browser games page also lists Return to Castle Wolfenstein in browser.
Urban Terror models real firearms rather than science fiction guns. Expect assault rifles like the M4 and the AK-103, the LR-300, the G36, sniper rifles, the SPAS-12 shotgun, submachine guns and pistols. Gear such as kevlar vests, helmets, laser sights and medkits changes how much damage you take or deal. Bleeding is a mechanic: wounded players keep losing health until they bandage, which adds a pause to every fight.
The browser server focuses on one map. The free desktop game has the full set of modes and maps.
Urban Terror runs on an engine from 1999, so even modest laptops and Chromebooks can keep a smooth frame rate in the browser. The limiting factor is usually the connection rather than the graphics card. If movement feels jerky, close other tabs, avoid Wi-Fi congestion where you can, and keep the browser window focused. Wall jumps and sprint timing depend on smooth input, so a steady frame rate matters more than high resolution. Lowering the browser zoom or shrinking the window are quick ways to gain a few frames if needed.
Urban Terror rewards movement as much as aim. Wall jumping lets you climb onto rooftops and change direction mid-air. Power sliding, crouching while sprinting, keeps your speed low to the ground and makes you harder to hit. Ledge grabbing pulls you up onto edges you would otherwise miss. On ut4_casa, these tricks open up routes across rooftops that most new players never find.
