CVG has learnt that Midway will rename Unreal Tournament 2007, Unreal Tournament III, even though the upcoming shooter is the fourth game in the series.

First there was Unreal Tournament, then Unreal Tournament 2003, which was followed a year later by Unreal Tournament 2004. Count 'em, that three UT games already out there, with UT 2007 on the horizon.

CVG has learnt that Midway and developer Epic will be announcing a slightly confusing name change for the hotly-anticipated Unreal shooter soon, possibly later today. We believe that the name change is to coincide with the game using the latest Unreal engine, cleverly dubbed Unreal Engine III.

Midway is currently holding a Gamers' Day press event in the US. CVG is there (not me, I'm still in the office) but we'll get confirmation as soon as we can.

Epic already stated before that "UT2007" may not be the final name. Actually I like the name change. It makes a lot of sense:

Unreal Tournament (1) - based on the UnrealEngine 1

Unreal Tournament 2003 - based on the UnrealEngine 2

Unreal Tournament 2004 - based on UnrealEngine 2.5 (UT2.5 fits here, it's basically UT2 with a lot more content)

Unreal Tournament 3 - based on UnrealEngine 3

Source: Epic Forum (Wormbo).

Still no 100% official news from Epic Games to this date.

I'm glad they changed the name. Now it authenticates the statement that the game is not tied to a year. Still seems logical to go with Unreal Tournament IV because it's the fourth game. Just how many of your average gamers who just want a game to play are going to say, "Yeah, this thing is decked out with the Unreal 3 engine." *friend looks at him :blink: *

Unreal Tournament 2003, as I recall, is what Unreal Tournament 2004 should have been and they pulled 2003 from the shelves and replaced it with 2004.

Erm no. UT2004 was everything 2003 was, but had more than twice as much content in the form of maps and characters. 6 cds (or 1 dvd) vs 3 cds. The graphics were also tweaked too. It may not seem like much of an improvement over 2003, but remember it was released only a year after 2003.

It's pretty obvious that's what he meant :p

Oh woops. I meant the other way around. UT2004 is what UT2003 should have been.

The mode they added in 2004 with the vehicles and stuff was awful. I really hope it doesn't make another appearance in this title.

WHAT!

Onslaught is THE best game mode ever!!! Of course, in UT3 it'll be called Conquest and much larger maps. The only reason I play UT2004 is for ONS, so I'm hoping in UT3, the CON will be even better.

I am a huge Onslaught fan as well.

It's a voluntary gametype. If you don't like vehicles then go play DM, CTF, etc. How can you criticize something that you have the option not to play? :laugh:

Because I've played it? The concept was there, it was just poorly executed. Although I only played early versions of the game, and those experiences were generally annoying. Maybe it's changed.

But yeah, 4v4 CTF is my crib.

Proficient

I wasn't really directing my post at you ynnoj. More towards NegaC who said he didn't like vehicles in multiplayer shooters. Which doesn't make sense to me considering there are several gametypes sans vehicles that he could choose.

But specifically regarding your comment, it all comes down to opinion. I'm not saying you're bad at Onslaught but I don't see why you wouldn't enjoy it. At least, I don't think it was implemented poorly. I find the online experience with Onslaught to be great especially nowadays. Maybe everytime you play the teams and matches were poorly balanced. I've never had a problem vehicle spamming but it does happen occasionally. Then again, it still comes down to opinion. You simply may not enjoy it. :p

As for CTF, I play on the Wrath Instagib CTF server. Awesomeness for sure.

Yeah, vehicle spam was the thing that generally angered me. That and just being randomly run down from behind by those hovercraft things, and then being continuously raped by the flying vehicles which were impossible to take down. Maybe I just sucked.

I'll stick to CTF ;)

    • Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns

      By zikalify · Posted

      Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels The UK consumer rights organization, Which?, is claiming that “potentially lethal knock-off chargers” are still being sold on online marketplaces seven years after it exposed the danger of these chargers. In its latest investigation, it bought 15 USB phone chargers from several online marketplaces and found they were missing key information, meaning they cannot be legally sold in the UK. Which? bought the 15 chargers from seven online marketplaces. These were Amazon (including Amazon Haul), AliExpress, B&Q Marketplace, Debenhams Marketplace, and eBay. It said that the chargers were so badly made that anyone using them was at risk of electric shock. Over half the chargers also posed fire and explosion risks. Of the chargers purchased, one was a fake Apple USB-C 35W power adaptor charger. To confuse buyers, the box was branded with an Apple logo, but testing found it to be a fake. Further testing picked up arcing sounds after 10 seconds of use, where a current jumps between two parts of the electrical circuit, which can cause fires, explosions, or electric shock. The manufacturers of this particular charger also put modeling clay inside it to make it feel more weighty, robust, and genuine. Not all of the chargers were technically faulty; however, some were missing key packaging, markings, and documentation, meaning they can’t be sold in the UK legally. Which? said that it is now campaigning alongside a coalition of safety groups and businesses for new laws that make online marketplaces responsible for ensuring the safety of products that they choose to list on their websites. It also said the government needs to start using powers under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act, which was adopted last July, to impose safety requirements on online marketplaces via secondary legislation, but so far, there have been delays. No matter what country you are in, be sure to properly research what you are buying and only buy authentic chargers to prevent fires. You can read more about Which?’s research here.
    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love by Usama Jawad Visual Studio Code is Microsoft's popular, lightweight, open-source code editor, it is actually Visual Studio that is the company's flagship integrated development environment (IDE). Although the IDE already offers a boatload of useful features for developers, Microsoft has finally introduced a long-requested capability that will be loved by many. While developers have already been able to create Git pull requests (PRs) directly within Visual Studio for the past couple of years, it had not been possible to review a PR without switching to the browser, until now. Microsoft revealed in December 2025 that it is working on UX that enables developers to do just that, and fast-forward to June 2026, and Visual Studio finally has native capabilities to open and inspect a PR, discuss feedback, and wrap up the review, all without switching to the browser. This integration works for both GitHub and Azure DevOps (including on-prem). Developers have access to multiple surfaces to open a PR, including Git Repository, Git Changes, and the Git menu in Visual Studio. Once you open a PR, all the important details will be immediately visible to you, from where you can navigate to various levels of granularity and branch states, depending on the reviews that you are engaged in. As you would expect, you also get a diff view that enables you to see code changes inline or side-by-side in a separate panel. You can also review commit-by-commit. Additionally, this UX fosters collaboration as you can leave comments, reply to threads, and resolve conversations easily. Naturally, you can also leverage Copilot to apply a code suggestion to fix a potential issue. When you are done, you have the ability to approve, complete, and merge the PR. This is a pretty major feature as it has been requested heavily for the past few years. You can try it out in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, made available here recently. Microsoft plans to enhance this experience further in future releases with comment filtering, a timeline of PR activity, and more.
