Unreal Tournament III (or UT3 to its friends) is primed to be an absolute mind blower. We checked it out at last week's E3 and it's absolutely stacked with the sort of ideas that are going to help springboard it way over the heads of the competition. Amongst the highlights were our first look at the stealth-bender vehicle, which is cloaked when stationary; the Slow Volume deployable - a gelatinous blob that decelerates the velocity of projectiles (watching the flak cannon's fiery spit crawl ...

E3 07: Unreal Tournament 3 footage

PC News | Unreal Tournament III

Here's some extremely promising new footage of Unreal Tournament 3, Epic Studios' deathmatch-focused shooter for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. And it's looking like a game that's capable of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the best of the UT series. It stars gutsy explosions, crinkly lasers, flashy colors and, crucially, a phenomenal sense of speed with the smoothness to please those twitchy, headshot-hunting triggerfingers. Massive environments, dirty with detail, and lots of chunky vehicles ...

Unreal Tournament 3 infos from OXM: 3 to 4 dozen multiplayer maps

PC News from N4G | Unreal Tournament III

PC - Unreal Tournament III - Unreal Tournament 3 infos from OXM: 3 to 4 dozen multiplayer maps

Beyond Unreal cracked open the most recent issue of OXM and discovered that Unreal Tournament 3 will ship with a good 3-4 dozen multiplayer maps.

Aside from the gameplay shown in the video, it offered a few details about the game. It was said that the original idea was to make gigantic maps utilizing UE3's streaming technology for up to 64 players at once. They decided that it didn't feel like a UT game and went back to improving the original formula. Each map starts out as a basic BSP layout and is play tested until they think it is fun and then it is handed over to have static meshes and the rest of the artistic assets created. There will be 3 to 4 dozen multiplayer maps in the retail version of the game. The single player portion will have even more maps than multiplayer.
