While there's obviously still tons of work for Epic to undertake, including thorough balancing and playtesting, I can confidently say that Unreal Tournament 3 is on course to be the best of the entire series.
Read on The CTF map I played is called Corruption - a gorgeously rendered Far Eastern environment, complete with golden lion sculptures, orange lanterns, water features, rolling hills, ornate wooden temples and, erm, large robotic tentacles pumping poisonous goop into the Earth's crust.
Here, the human Izanagi Corporation are attempting a last-ditch effort to repel the evil Nccris Black Legion alien invaders who are slowly turning the idyllic rural setting into a poisoned, otherworldly nightmare. Beginning on the goody-goody Blue team, I storm straight into a round of CTF and attempt to make it to the enemy temple at the opposite end of the map, grab their banner and return it to base without getting gibbed.
Tricky, when you start to appreciate the huge array of weapons that both teams have at their disposal - the classic UT gibsplattering collection of Flak Cannon, Rocket Launcher, Shock Rifle and BioRifle joined by others including the Stinger and Link Gun. All feel substantial, with detailed animated parts on-screen, and each has alternative fire modes for varying kills - the Rocket Launcher, for example, again has the ability to launch multiple projectiles or deadly bouncing grenades, simply by holding the right mousebutton until the on-screen receptacle changes to the mode you require.
One problem in UT was getting around the larger levels quickly without a vehicle, an issue that's been neatly solved by the Hoverboard. Accessible at all times, this device can be used to I grapple onto faster-moving vehicles or even pull yourself into them, as well as various Tony Hawk-style tricks. However, the highlight of this first playtest was the vehicle combat, and although a few of the aerial craft weren't available including the tentacled and menacing Necris Fury shown opposite , UT3 was still a blast.
Highlights from the opposing Axon team include the two-person Hellbender truck that launches lethal sky mines, Goliath tank for pounding enemy positions into dust, and a extremely nimble Scorpion fast car that unleashes bouncing blue balls of death, reminiscent of the weaponry of the clumsy CG twats the Gungans in Star Wars: Episode 1. Yet nothing can prepare yon for the fun you can have with the awesome Necris Dark Walker, a War Of The Worlds-style killer tripod with snaking legs, a beam weapon that destroys all in its path and an extremely cool sonic blast reminiscent of the "Ullah" from HG Wells' classic novel.
In fact, it's so good, it's in danger of dominating vehiclebased multiplayer in UT3 as players inevitably flock to the evil Reds for the chance to climb in the cockpit and unleash Martian-inspired devastation. So the big question - when will UT3 be released? There are rumblings of a multiplayer demo release in autumn to allow Epic to fully test the online capabilities a few months before release Christmas , but for Epic's lead producer Jeff Morris, UT3 will only be released when it's completely finished: We think we're going to be done by the end of this year, but we're not going to ship it if it isn't ready.
One of the reasons for the name change is that we wouldn't want to sell a game called UT in Somewhat Belying The fact that I'm an evil badass from space intent on puncturing a planet with giant alien vertebrae and dripping blackened tentacles, I'm currently more occupied with giggling like a schoolgirl. Skimming over charred hill and craggy dale in my personal Viper hover-bike with a joy previously reserved for nuns singing atop the Alps, I tumble over the crest of a hill beneath the sunny skies of the Izanagi Corporation's base of operations.
I see a tank in front of me, and instinctively raise the Viper's suicide hackles - slowing down and bringing up its sides so that my craft looks like a mixture of Batman in flight, a Cobra about to strike and an angry short man leaning back and arching his shoulders so that he can spit into the face of a provincial bouncer.
I release the payload and the body of my craft jets into the innocent wall next to the tank while I'm flung backwards and neatly scythed in half by the blades of a passing Scorpion buggy. The tank, it seems, was empty. As I suppress manic laughter at my ineptitude, a door behind me inches open and the beaming face of Epic boss Mark Rein pokes through and stage-whispers to his cohorts: "You're not showing them that crappy game are you?
Today is a good day. What missions you embark on and whether or not you defect to a rival corporation will remain up to you -Epic are designing the game so you'll be able to see the ramifications of your decisions in the world at large. It's from here, or a screen very like it Epic are still fine-tuning that most of your decisions will be made as you play through the game. The dots spiral up and over the globe alongside the story arc, eventually leaving terra firma for a few orbital frag-fests, then to another planet entirely for the final set of face-offs.
The Necris faction, yon see, with their devastating Darkwalker tripods and flying Furies aren't just sitting around the multiplayer maps looking menacing. Partway through the singleplayer campaign they invade the planet of the bickering corporations and start transforming it to their own needs, hungry for Tarydium. For a while you'll be able to ignore it, carrying on with the petty squabbles and demands of your faction, but it's not something you can ignore forever.
To begin with, the Necris send in the Krall - horned reptilian chaps who thrive on outnumbering UT squads -and then the Necris and the big guns of their terrifying armoury start to hit the ground.
After the invasion, you return to familiar maps that have become infected with the goopy nanoblack that not only runs in the Necris' veins, but also is pumped through their lands. Dark clouds hang over Necris bases, black bony tentacles punch through walls and viscous black liquid oozes where clear water once ran. In short, in single-player and multiplayer alike, it's pretty bloody obvious at which end of the map the goodies and baddies live.
In the single-player campaign you won't be alone in your fight either, since Epic don't want you to feel like you're relentlessly fighting alongside barking Al bots.
