Watch this short 5 min video from Epic, narrated by Tim Sweeny showing the latest developments from the Unreal 3.0 engine. I am astounded by the hardware requirements for this engine to run at a respectable frame rate, Athlon 64 and NV40 eeek, start saving now.

Thanks to Beyond Unreal for the link.

On a sadder note we lost an awesome player this week

Light has decided to help his old teammates in |GG| with getting the clan going again.

Good Luck Light (and |GG|)


Knowing his extremely good aim we decided to keep his gun, just in case we meet again

Karma, the physics engine used in UT2003 and UT2004 is to be ditched for the next incarnation of the Unreal engine, in favour of a better, more realistic physics engine.

If you want to check the new engine out, download this 20MB file ( http://www.novodex.com/downloads/NovodeX_SDK_Personal_2.02.exe ) and install. The vector graphics are very simple, but it gives an excellent idea of what the new physics engine can do, and it certainly handles impressively.

Were happy to announce or newest member, Muppet.
Welcome aboard m8.

I hope youll have as fun as i had last year (which was a very enjoyable gaming year imo)

We have decided to play in both the ONS and CTF UT2004 European ladder on Clanbase.

Feel free to challenge us

The Dedicated server package was released today,
--------------------------------------------
These files allow anyone to run a dedicated UT2004 server, even if they do not own a retail copy of UT2004. Once installed, it will occupy around 2.0 GB of disk space, significantly smaller than the 5.5GB required for a retail installation. Server admins wanting to advertise their server to the official master server list, and be included in UT2004 stats will require a dedicated server key. Go to http://unreal.epicgames.com/ut2004server/cdkey.php to generate a dedicated server key.
