Unreal Tournament 3 has been released in Germany last Monday. The release date for Europe is the 22nd of November. (And 19th of November for North America.)
One of our German players, Cobra, was kind enough to provide me with some screenshots of UT3 as well as some input regarding the game itself.
So, how does the game compares with UT?

General feeling

The general feeling of UT3 ressembles a lot more to UT than to UT 200x. Movements are pretty much like in UT, with some extras like the double-jump and the wall-dodge. The dodge-jump from UT 200x has been removed.
Dodging against a ramp seems to behave like in UT. So that would be a good news for BT fans out there. Smile
Taunting is also inspired from UT - and you can wave again! Very Happy


The issues that bothers me the most (and should bother also a lot of UT players) is the model scaling problem. Models are small in UT3. They are actually smaller than their hitbox. Also, a player would be able to shoot without being seen - as his head would be too much below the eye-line and top of hitbox. That problem has been discussed here for quite a while now. It is unfortunate that Epic didn't fix this. Here is how models look:


Update: This is going to be fixed in the first patch.

Maps remakes

3 maps have been remade from UT to UT3: Coret, Hydro16 (as Hydrosis) and Deck.

CTF-Coret:



CTF-Hydrosis:



DM-Deck:




Conclusion

Unreal Tournament 3 should be considered by many the expected sequel of UT. Some of the issues like the model scale or the user interface can hopefully be fixed in an upcoming patch.

i4Games will most certainly host a couple of UT3 servers as soon as the Linux dedicated server is available.
So, stay tuned!

Downloading full German version xD
6,6 GB Shocked
(srry but i never bought a game Embarassed )

Also got a hint (not tested Razz):
In the demo you can copy the INT map (Unreal Tournament 3 Demo\UTGame\Localization\INT)
and replace it in the full version...
Tadaa!!
You've got the English Version of UT3 xD
