UT2003 Gone Gold, Ships with Linux Support

SiW writes "This announcement should be music to a Linux gamer's ears: Unreal Tournament 2003 has just gone gold, and supports Linux (client and server) out of the box!" It's not often that I get to play a new game without rebooting. I'm really looking forward to this.

Just what we need...

UT2003 is a 3 CD set. Of course you know it's a huge game with a ton of content (over 35 levels), great characters, awesome gametypes, incredible AI, cool mutators, etc. But there's also some great tools including the following:

(...)

2. The Karma Authoring Tool (KAT) that allows you to set up character joint constraints for use with MathEngine's Karma real-time physics system which is incorporated into UT2003. (...)

It already costs me a day-job just to keep my slashdot-Karma positive, I think I'll give up op Unreal tournament for now....

Re:got counter-strike?

[Dark Lord Seth]

played the demo for a bit, graphics are nice, went back to the old favorite. i may eat my words by next month, but this ain't no counter-strike killer.

Of course it isn't, you can not kill that which is already dead.

Or the American Football mode!

Picture rugby with guns and you've got the basic idea.

Rugby is a good comparison. If it was to be like American Football, whenever a player dropped the ball, you'd have to stop the game and cut for an ad break for 5 minutes.
