Unreal Tournament 3 "Titan Pack" Expansion Coming In March 67
An anonymous reader writes with news that Unreal Tournament 3 will be getting a free expansion called Titan Pack on March 5th. It will contain a variety of new maps, and two new game modes: Greed and Betrayal. There will also be new weapons, deployables, and achievements. IGN's preview of the expansion mentions a few more improvements, such as an improved voting system and client-side demo recording for the PC version. Quoting: "... the most obvious addition to the series is the new Titan. As you play through the game, killing enemies, completing goals and generally avoiding damage, you'll build up your Titan meter. Once it fills up, you can instantly mutate into a 15' tall Titan. The Titan has massive health, a decent shield belt and can fire homing rockets. Oh, and he can also pound the ground to knock back any enemies that get too close. In short, the Titan is a real game changer."

Agreed. I'll buy it when we get our Linux client.
Meanwhile, I have other things to do.

It's not just marketing. They have always released Linux versions of the UT series and it has been great. This is why I bought the game soon after it was released. I had no reason to think there would not be a Linux client.
The last Linux release was back in the Quake days though, I guess without competition they don't mind stuffing the Linux version in the closet.
What pisses me off most is how if you even mention the Linux client on the Epic forums your post will be deleted and you will get banned. The whole history is erased and no one on the outside is the wiser. There is a huge community and uproar that has been oppressed.
I don't use Windows other than in a VM. I want my money back. Maybe we should all put our games together on a big truckload and ship them back to Epic with a demand for our money back.
What about the promised assault mode? (Score:2, Interesting)
I bought UT3 and was disappointed with the changes they made it. The new onslaught replacement is rather confusing, and allows one good person to totally unbalance the teams with the stupid ball thing to take over a node on Warpath.
They dropped assault mode which is what I played exclusively with UT2k4. It was supposed to be possible with Warpath mode, but I've not seen any assault style maps yet--although I've yet to play in awhile. Or much at all really.
And they remove m-m-m-m-monster kill. That's an unreal staple man. They also removed the cussing, presumably to make it xboxable.
