Unreal Tournament 2007 Officially Announced

Midway has officially announced the next Unreal Tournament title, naming it UT 2007. Additionally, Gamespot reports on the Conquest mode expected to be a focus of the next title. From the article: "The idea behind conquest is to create huge, expansive levels that take advantage of the engine's new content-streaming technology and use onslaught-style instant transport to jump to hot spots on the map where the action is. Epic apparently feels that one of the greatest strengths of onslaught was the way it could accommodate large groups of players in vehicles but also drive them to congregate around specific areas with the control point system, rather than have them wandering around the map aimlessly."

You can ALREADY voice-control the bots in UT2004. If you install the Speech SDK you are able to address bots by codename (Alpha, Bravo) and issue then Defend or Attack orders. You cn even order them to dance...

With continious loading, like WoW, people should start looking into better harddrives. In WoW, the 1 minute delay referenced to in parent post, is due to the delay in loading the characters' textures from off the harddrive. This is why once they load, it runs very smoothly. Some people think it's their processor or RAM, but the 1 minute delay has to do with the speed of the harddrive. I recommend getting two harddrives and running them in RAID 0, it did wonders for me. If UT2007 is going to be of this type, I'd recommend looking into a harddrive upgrade before purchasing UT2007.
