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."
