Being an avid fan of UT and wasting many evenings fragging online (I said fragging), I've been waiting for this game for an eternity.
I managed to get a hooky version/advanced demo today and It's looking mighty fine. The maps are totally with an insane amount of texture and detail including grass, waterfalls and great particle effects. Many of the weapons have been kept over from the previous game albeit in a funked up way. In terms of the gameplay, it seems to have veered slightly away from the complete hectic bloodbath of before, with it being slightly harder to kill an opponent easily.....Apparently there are more evasive manouvres to be found but I've only had an hour on it so I haven't found out what there are, although tapping the strafe buttons seems to make your character cartwheel away from danger! Graphically, it is superb.Each weapon having great effects - especially the lightning gun!!
On the downside, the music is on the poor side and even though it was being run on one of the fastest machines you can buy, there was a lot of slowdown when the action picked up - especially in capture the flag. Anyway I'm sure these glitches will be ironed out before release - otherwise we'll all have to trade in our existing PCs!!!

S'funny really. It was only when Sniper was playing UT that you could really communicate with him in more than just monosyllabic grunts. He'd actually 'converse', using strings of words (sentences), often forming two or more of these at once. I've never known him to be so vocal in any other format except for that time he did his infamous review of Final Fantasy IX.
Plus, I gotta give him credit, he could really pick off some great headshots with the sniper-rifle when he held it the right way round.
