I fuckin' loved Unreal Tournament. I remember it was the first video game intro that really got me pumped up, too. I used to watch the UT intro every time I started the game.
I really want to find the text of the intro. Don't suppose any of you web experts out there could find it. I believe the corporation was Liandri Corp.
EDIT: found it, finally.

I guess the wording isn't that powerful. I think it was the combination of the cinematic and the narrator's voice.. although it did give me a chill reading it again.
Quote:
"In 2291, in an attempt to control violence among deep space miners the New Earth Government legalized no-holds-bared fighting.
Liandri Mining Corporation, working with the NEG, established a series of leagues and bloody public exhibitions.
The fight's popularity grew with their brutality. Soon, Liandri discovered that the public matches were their most profitable enterprise.
The professional league was formed; a cabal of the most violent and skilled warriors in known space, selected to fight in a Grand Tournament.
Now it is 2341, 50 years have passed since founding of DeathMatch. Profits from the Tournament number in the hundreds of billions.
You have been selected to fight in the professional league by the Liandri Rules Board. Your strength and brutality are legendary.
The time has come to prove you are the best; to crush your enemies; to win the Tournament."
