Yup. It's out.
It's about time there was an alternative to Halo. Looks like this is it, and judging from the early insight given by the 200+ MB Demo, i'd say it kicks halo's ass in almost every way.
The vehicles kick ass, and I can see some similarities between It and Halo.
Halo had the banshee, UT2k4 has the Raptor - two very similar aircraft, both with plasma style weapons and explosive secondary attacks. Heck, the wings on both craft even leave little air trails...
Halo had the Warthog, UT2k4 has the HellBender - two very similar vehicles, with a driver, gunner, and secondary gunner.
Halo had the Scorpion, UT2k4 has the Goliath. Two tanks, both with cannons and MG's.
Halo had the Ghost, UT2k4 has the Manta. Again, two hovercraft, both with light weaponry.
Ut2k4 also has the Scorpion (I think that's the name), a Buggy type car with a top-mounted turret that fires electric 'ropes', a very inventive weapon, might I add.
Thankfully, it runs just as fast as UT2k3, has a nice new-ish look to things, and has great gameplay too, in my opinion.
Unlike Halo, which was sluggish and buggy, and lacked the 'Aaahhh, having a PC is worthwhile' feeling.
As always, some nice new weapons are included, and the assault mode is back with spectacular style. It really is so VERY impressive.
I Personally think that we're looking upon a game that'll make a bigger impression than we think. Definitely worth checking out.

I'm downloading it now. One hour left. What am I going to do for an hour?
This Demo is kicking ass. I love the fact that the specs needed arnt too steep either. I can run the thing maxed out with the exception of shadows and decals @ 1280x1024 and still getting a very steady mid 40s range. (no benchmark, just can sorta tell... sorta) but very playable with no skipping. And im only running a Athalon xp 2400 @ 2ghz with a 128meg geforce fx 5200 4xagp, and only 384 meg of ram. Older system still great results. Let me know how your other systems are handeling it.
I need broadband...
Yeah, I noticed it on Gamespy this morning. I'll give it a download :)
