HWarrior

Just wanted to update ya. I have had it since 6AM. Still encrypted. As soon as the download manager unlocks it I will upload it to my server and everyone can go crazy.

as found on BU

That's just a fancy way of saying once he has it from FilePlanet he'll mirror it for us to download... -Fk Well, duh!

Mine's queued on my FilePlanet subscription. I click the check availability button on the download manager about every hour or so just to drive myself crazy. If you haven't seen them already, the BU write-ups are up and a have little bit of new info. Sir_Brizz gives good info on movement and game feel. Even though at first I thought it was solely a marketing ploy (keep a gem for the release), leaving Warfare out of the demo makes a lot of since. Warfare can play like ONS or Assault or completely unique. They would have had to include 3-4 Warfare maps for you to get a sense of things and not have everyone flame. If they only inclued Islander (Assault-like) they would have had a bunch of ONS diehards complaining. Either way, I just can't wait to play me some UT3.

Free up da HD space. 800MB demo so who knows how much once uncompressed.

No click me!

If I was 100% sure it was this Friday, I would blow off all my clients and take the day off. What could be better... Nep Last Call until midnight and then hey look boys & girls, its the UT3 Demo!!! A man can dream...

Pics from Epic Game day yesterday. No screenshots or anything just basically a tour of their office with some concept art and sweet nerd lounge.

As of today, the decision is to have no Warfare in demo (courtesy of BU)

Temerity goes away on Oct 26

If you aren't into overclocking, then going from 4400+ (2.2Ghz) to 6000+ (3Ghz) is an 800mhz boost for $160 minus whatever you sell your 4400+ for. THG CPU charts will give you some benchmarks on improvement. Note that on the 4400+, 2.6Ghz is easily attainable with good cooling. So comes down to is your time spent overclocking and tweaking worth more than the cost difference above. If you want to overclock, then the 5000+ black edition is unlocked and cheaper and should go to 3Ghz easy. Also keep in mind that AM2 Quads are later this year. Depending on your setup you may be able to pop in one of those with just a motherboard bios update.

For those of us still rocking AMD setups... AMD Processor Pricing (newegg closely matches these) Gotta love the cpu market - I bought an x2 4000+ for $200 14 months ago and now its equivalent is only $68.

Hey Primus you considering this... New Nostromo from Belkin & Razor Make sure you check out the gallery. Looks purty.

Haha Minimum & Recommended specs almost match my 2 current rigs. Minimum System Requirements vs my Work PC * Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista (yep) * 2.0+ GHZ Single Core Processor (2.0 OC'd) * 512 Mbytes of System RAM (2Gig) * NVIDIA 6200+ or ATI Radeon 9600+ Video Card (9800 XT) * 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space (yep) Recommended System Requirements vs my HTPC * 2.4+ GHZ Dual Core Processor (2.0 stock; 2.4 OC) * 1 GBytes of System RAM (2Gig) * NVIDIA 7800GTX+ or ATI x1300+ Video Card (x1300 xt) * 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space (yep) After looking at these specs some more, it seems that the Recommended specs would mean Medium detail for all settings. 4 cores + 8800 GTS and I think you could probably run at Max settings with high average fps.

Mark Rein response - "The PC version is still on track for November with a downloadable demo to be made available prior to retail release." For anyone wanting to play this on PS3 just know you won't get cross-platform (consoles + patches = big hurdle) but you may end up getting all the PC maps.

About 250 in there for the pre-event at 2:30PM. Saw some names/tags in there I haven't seen in a while.

Is blasting Corinne Bailey Rae while I play bad then? HAHAHA!

Well, I joined for a sec to add in a question about server requirements. Hopefully it gets accepted and asked.

Rumors abounding about possible demo tomorrow. I'll believe it when I see it. Looks like the basis for all the commotion is that Epic's having an IRC Q&A with BeyondUnreal tomorrow at 8PM. Some saying that when they did this last time we got UT2K4 demo. We'll see...

FREON, eh?

Well I tried searching during the 1st quarter of the game and no luck on those Omnipotents maps. I'll try and jump on a server using the maps one day and get the missing one that way. Here are the known missing files: FireHound_Tex BioAegis_Tex Omnitaur_Tex

Yep. Just checked the logs. Unfortunately, omnipotents made the unwise decision to not zip up their maps and they only have the maps themselves on their website. If someone can find zips of these maps it would be appreciated. Otherwise you will have to wait on these until I can track down all the packages.

Maps added: ONS-Alien2 ONS-Midworld ONS-CBP2-Argento ONS-Icarus VCTF-Basically VCTF-BinarySpace][ VCTF-Zoned VCTF will have to chosen from webadmin before maps will be available. Maps on hold: ONS-Scorched-)o(-V3 ONS-Dria-)o(-V7 ONS-MinusTankMeUp-)o(-Gorz-RC3 These maps won't show up for some reason. I'll have to dig through logs later.

With Epic saying over 50% don't play online, I don't see them going that route.
