Unreal Tournament 2007 (Name Changed)


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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 ;)

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
