Unreal Tournament 3 Confirmed For Xbox 360
The game formerly known as Unreal Tournament 2007 is now Unreal Tournament 3. And it’s coming to the PC, PlayStation 3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360 in the second half of 2007. Using the Unreal Engine 3 (what other engine would it really use?), Epic’s seminal first-person shooter will douse gamers with gorgeous, life-like graphics, arm them with unbelievable futuristic and brutal weaponry, and hurl them into online deathmatches like never before. Run and gun (and swear like a sailor) like never before in UT3. The new game comprises a vast number of changes from increased aggressiveness and intelligence in the AI to better, more ridiculously powerful weapons to new characters, game modes, and online improvements. New weapons are highlighted by the long-range Shock Rifle and the shorter range Flack Cannon, and more than two dozen weapons will be ready to wield when UT3 is ready in the second half of 2007. The new single-player campaign is deeper and more engaging than before, and players will be happy to know that old favorite characters have returned and are joined by several new ones. Epic plans to provide advanced online changes to suit all three platforms, bringing seamless loading, improved matchmaking and co-operative campaign online play. Yes, cooperative online play indeed. Familiar online modes such as Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag will be joined by an all-new Warfare mode among others. And PC gamers will be happy to get their sweaty mitts on the bundled Unreal Engine Toolset, enabling them to build their own levels, game types, rules, mods, and more. We’ll have more on Unreal Tournament 3 soon.Source: http://www.ign.com
