> It's a shame later multiplayer games didn't pick up on the mutator concept.

The terminology didn't catch on, but the idea is out there. Compare "game modes" in Overwatch, for example:

Skulls in halo are probably a good example too
Let's just call mutators as 'mixins' :)
overwatch is essentially the anti-UT. there’s no simplicity, just complexity and toxicity.
Just hide quickchat and don't join voice, its a fine game.

The workshop is really cool though, tons of cool modes. Only downside is you can't do any map modifications or anything like that.

Not saying it's a good game (or otherwise), just saying the idea's out there.
