I'm not sure about what I'm saying because I didn't read it from Reakktor but I heard someone saying in the forums that the devs are happy that it looks like UT because it was their intention to make it look like so.

and one member of Reakktor said somewhere that they're making a game that THEY want to play, not just sell.

UT3 was too small and offered no interesting use for movement, while the explosive weapons could level an entire room because of how large their aoe was and how small the rooms were. There were a few good maps, but that's not enough to salvage an arena shooter.

Uhm, I didn't play UT3 in all maps and shit, the ones I played had a pretty good size, most of them were actually bigger than I was expecting after reading player reviews

anyways, the update went out yesterday but I slept the whole day, these are the new features:

new features



I'm downloading it at the moment and I'll join a private game as soon as it finishes so I can post screenshots about vehicles, guns, the new map, anything I can remember taking photos of.


also this

The PHANTOM is a medium sized assault bomber, equipped with a minigun as its primary fire and unguided missiles as secondary fire. It's excellently suited to give air support to infantry units.

makes me think the map is gonna be big enough, since it will have air units.

All screenshots I took so far (game is not on ultra, but its 1920x1080 at least)
