UTIII disc to feature Gears 2 video?

360 News from N4G | Unreal Tournament III

360 - Unreal Tournament III - UTIII disc to feature Gears 2 video?

Eurogamer reports:

Had you been on Play.com this morning, looking to purchase a copy of Unreal Tournament III for Xbox 360, you might have spotted something interesting.

The packshot shown on the site featured a sticker advertising that the disc includes a Gears of War 2 video.

The packshot is still there, but the sticker has since mysteriously disappeared.

This isn't the first time such a bonus has been hinted at. Back in April Mark Rein told Eurogamer, "You might want to keep a close eye on the Unreal Tournament 3 disc. There might be something Gears of War 2 related on that."

When asked if that something might be a new trailer he replied, "Might not be! Might be. Whatever!"

Unreal Tournament 3 Achievements Revealed

360 News from N4G | Unreal Tournament III

360 - Unreal Tournament III - Unreal Tournament 3 Achievements Revealed

The achievements for Unreal Tournament 3 have been officially revealed by Xbox360achievements.org. The list contains 50 achievements in order to get the full 1000 points. At first look, the achievements have a Gears of War feel to them, with achievements for completing each chapter, completing the chapters on isane, as well as in co-op. On top of that, "Get a life.." is very reminiscent to the all so popular "Seriously.." achievement. Instead of getting 10,000 kills online, however, the task is to get 200 kills on 50 seperate days. Of course, that equals 10,000 kills, but with a bigger twist. For the entire list of achievements, hit the jump.

UT3 map competition for beginners

360 News from N4G | Unreal Tournament III

360 - Unreal Tournament III - UT3 map competition for beginners

Eurogamer writes: "Level design hotspot 3D Buzz has decided to run its very own map-making competition for Unreal Tournament 3.

It aims to give beginners a shot at the big time by disallowing any custom content such as home-grown textures, models, and all that. The only bits you can use come as standard with the level editor.

Star prize is an impressive bounty of USD 1000, a PlayStation 3, plus an Epic-autographed copy of the game.

Better still, silky-haired Epic poster-child Cliff Bleszinski will do a video review of your level. As will the 3D Buzz team. Runners-up get a PS3 and an autographed game.

The very first contest is to design a deathmatch arena, and you must keep a work-in-progress diary on the 3D Buzz forum."
