PlayForGG has posted some new screenshots of a low poly map he’s making for UT3. This is definitely one to watch. Check out the full set of screenshots HERE.

Okay I know we’re all starved for a new UT that seems less and less likely to happen. The good news is, it seems like others are looking to pick up the slack.
First there was the news of CliffyB talking about a new arena-style game, now Fetid on the Epic forums has pointed out a game called Reflex which has as their tag line “A competitive first person shooter that combines modern tech with the speed and precision of 90s shooters.” Count me in! 😛
Here’s a video of some very early footage. Notable is the fact that they are developing their own engine. They’ve got a long way to go but it’s great to know that there are developers out there that miss the 90’s game-play as much as I do.
Happy New Year to all of my fellow UT/Unreal diehards! I might not be able to get much mapping in this year but I will definitely be on the MCC server having a good time a couple of times a week.
My UT New Years resolution is to score one point against Enoch in a one-on-one match. I know it’s a lofty goal but I think I can do it with a little luck :D.
Now that he has been away from Epic for a while, Cliff Blezinski is hinting at a new arena style shooter developed for PC. I for one will keep my eyes peeled for this one since Epic has left us high and dry without an Unreal or UT for so many years.
Cliffy’s influence can be felt all over UT99 which is one of the reasons it was such a great game in my opinion. People are jumping on the Cliffy hate bandwagon these days just because they are bored, but I’m definitely going to be rooting big time for a Cliffy designed arena shooter!

Wizd3m is going after another one of our faves on the MCC server, Andrew “Mclogenog” Yoder’s DM-UOF-LP-Genki. The first paragraph of the map review will have you LOLing guaranteed!
I think the popularity of this map on the server is due to the, ahem, the older crowd that regularly hits the server :P. I not only enjoy the fun layout of Genki but the ease of seeing my targets makes it a keeper for sure.
Wizd3m does point out some salient points regarding things like the use of the stock jump pads which I have to agree with. However, having made custom pads myself in DM-MCC-SpaceNoxx, I can definitely understand not wanting to take the extra time! Check out the review HERE.
Here’s a sweet new frag movie from LoRD with high production values and excellent use of Rypel Cam. He is calling this his last UT3 movie.
Hourences has been working on a new game called Solus using Unreal Engine 4. Anything he does gets my immediate attention, such an uber talent the man is. Here’s a video of pre-alpha work on it:
I had the physical server that the MCC server is hosted on rebooted to see if we can fix the lag issues. At the moment it looks like it has taken care of the problem but we will have to test it out further under load :P.
PlayForGG has released an updated version of his pro-style Malevolence which is definitely server worthy. It’s already installed on the server and can be voted for under the HOLP section. A download link is available under the Maps menu above and also on the Epic release thread HERE.
Wizd3m has a new review up of another UOF LP map, DM-UOF-LP-Diabolical. This map surprised me personally. My first thought when I saw the first screenshots is that it wouldn’t be much fun and I’d be falling off all of the time.
Surprisingly, the thing the makes the map for me was added in a post release fix! I’m referring to the variable fog which makes the map very dynamic and keeps up the interest level. Sure it’s a gimmick map but it’s surprisingly fun for me to mix things up between the usual maps.
Taken on its own, as a traditional UT map, it probably won’t get as high of marks which is how Wizd3m reviews it. Always entertaining to read, check out his new review HERE.
