Call this the snowed-in release if you will but Epic didn’t let a few road closures stop them from getting a new release of the UT pre-alpha out this week.
Notable changes right off the bat are texturing on the flak cannon, new effects, many menu changes that make getting around easier, the beginnings of a robust training mode and a training videos link that will likely eventually incorporate Zaccubus’ awesome tutorials without having to watch them inside the Epic blog interface as you have to currently.
The full changelog wasn’t ready at the time of this post but I’m sure it will be up shortly. Check the left side menu link for updates.
