<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->LOS ANGELES – March 4, 2004 – Atari and Epic Games are pleased to announce that development is complete on Unreal® Tournament 2004, the highly anticipated follow-up to last year’s smash Unreal Tournament 2003 and the third installment in the mega-selling Unreal Tournament franchise. The game is expected to be available at retail stores worldwide on March 15.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

So the wait is over! I have like most UT lovers played the demo, and I'm looking forward to playing the full version. Now I'll have something to play apart from NS while waiting for HL2 <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Yes, UT2004 features all old weapons from UT2003 plus the new ones. There's just no map in the demo which has an Ion Painter pickup.

    However it's great fun to play a 32 bot game in Onslaught, then cheat to get an Ion Painter with 999 rounds, enable godmode and have some fun <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    yup, plus a new thingy lots like it... a target designator. Dunno how the new one works but once you use it to select the target a fast flying bomber flies in and drops some cans of kablooie on the area. They can be shot down but they travel pretty fast supposedly so beyond expert raptor use or turrets they're meant to be nigh on unhittable =o

    Sounds like the "Ion Painter" from UT2K3. At first I fired this I was like "this is freaking ****" then I waited a few seconds and a HUGE beam incinerated everything within 50ft of where I fired it. Whoa.

    I pre-ordered mine 20 minutes after playing the Demo :-)
    I get 6 discs (CD-ROM's) which is going to make the install
    require alittle bit more effort.... should have got the 1 DVD ROM
    but 6 discs are ALWAYS better than 1... maybe <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    95 maps on install apparently. :-D
    I'll see you guys on the battlefield

    Good old Play.com (?17.99)

    if I get it's definitely the DVD version and I'm really gonna be buying it for modding fun rather than the actual game (though a couple of onslaught games wouldn't go amiss XD ).

    I know I've probably only got a year to make something before UT2kx moves onto the next incarnation but it reportedly comes with <b>hours</b> of video tutorial footage on everything mod related from modelling to coding plus a special version of <u>softimage</u> (this is the TOP modelling package... it's rated higher than even maya in the industry; production IG uses it, the people who are making the Ghost in the Shell Stand alone complex amongst other things for those who don't know them o.O ).
    Needless to say I think that might help =3

    I think Epic is deadly serious about taking on ye olde valve for the modding market =o

    Also, keep in mind that mods will apparently be portable, so work on 2K4 won't go amiss once 2K5 comes out, you'll just have to update a few details.

    same here, 19th... 7 days after crystal chronicles @.@
    Is it really worth buying a game just to mod though? I've already started a HL mod (though I'm loathing the limitations of the engine just about every step of the way) and I'm in two minds to finish first or just jump ship and start afresh on the infinitely friendlier Unreal engine ut2k4 build =/
