Unreal Tournament 3 is the next installment of the Unreal Tournament series. Developed by Epic Games and published by Midway, the game keeps the same fast action pace like the others in the series. A demo has been released for the public but the game will look and feel "real" only when the final version is out, says the developer.
The single player campaign features you as the last warrior of a clan massacred by the Necris, therefore you start to wipe out the invaders for revenge and humanity safety. Epic Games kept some of the old game modes like Death Match, Team Death Match or Capture the Flag, removed some of the old modes (Double Domination, Bombing Run, Assault) and introduced some new ones like Vehicle Capture the Flag and Warfare, which is a combination between Onslaught and Assault where players have to conquest point-nodes in their way to the enemy power core. You can also pursuit the Campaign online with your friends.
There are 9 vehicles for each side, Necris and Axon, having weaknesses and strengths against the "competition". Some are heavily armored but they move very slow while others are very fast and can be taken down real easily.
The weapon arsenal is relatively the same as UT 2004 when speaking of Bio Rifle, Shock Rifle, Link Gun, Flak Cannon, Rocket Launcher or the Sniper Rifle. Weapons like: the Enforcer (a pistol with one shot or burst fire rate; you can wield two at the same time), Impact Hammer (which can kill an enemy instant if applied well or can disable vehicles with the alternative function), and the Stinger Minigun (fires normal bullets or high caliber bullets that can pin an enemy to the wall) are new additions to the old arsenal. The Redeemer (that weapon that fires a devastating missile killing everything in the area) is back. Again you can control its missile with pin-point accuracy, but at the same time it can be destroyed by any opponent if he can target it in time (then you'll hear a voice saying "Denied!"). The second super weapon is the Target Painter, an auto-guided missile that follows the target you "paint" for destruction (only works on vehicles).
Benefiting from Unreal 3 Engine (from where the game gets his name), Unreal Tournament 3 has astonishing graphics. Beautifully shaped models that are fully customizable, real shadows, great textures and lighting effects are just a glimpse of what it will look like when it will be released in November this year.
Fans everywhere, be sure to keep an eye on this one, for we will keep you posted as always!
