From the horse's mouth aka Mark Rein at Epic Games: http://www.ina-community.com/forums/showthread.php?s=c77f15d2fe7de00b0a43a61ae2235733&threadid=353898

Hmmmm. I think this is the first time I've started a thread here... Anyway, prepare to get your frag on gents. Mark's word on the full version:

"I think UT2004 is the best Unreal game yet and I hope you guys love playing it as much as we do. If you've been playing the demo I can tell you that you ain't seen nothing yet!"

Im definately buying this game, theyve made up for UT2003s lack of luster.

battlefield vietnam is being released the same day. should be interesting

 

[ElFenix]

i already bought it 🙂

 

[Extrarius]

I've already bought it, but I definitely hope the performance is improved some over the demo. In 2k3, I get ~100 fps on highest details at 800x600, but in 2k4 I get ~50 on lowest settings at the same res =-(

Onslaught!

 

[simms]

Score. Love that Raptor.

Don't forget to order your Special Edition DVDs!

I can't wait to see if there are some new vehicles, and I'm looking forward to both new Assault and Onslaught maps as well as playing some UT2k3 maps again.

 

[Reliant]

Sweet! Good thing I pre-ordered it!

Most people seem to order from ebgames but I ordered from gamestop because eb was blocked at work.


Special Edition DVD at Gamestop You'll need a DVD Rom drive of course, but dig the free Logitech headset for chatting with your teammates.

 

[SaturnX]

Yeah, I highly recommend pre-ordering, other than the fact that the standard CD release is 6 CDs.. I'd rather have just one DVD and a headset, all the for the same price.

Edit: Oh yah, I've already pre-ordered mine up

Nope. Just about never.

I just pre-ordered from GoGamer.com (I couldn't remember the name, that's why I asked).

$37.99 for the DVD set, $5.99 for Fedex 2-day.

FYI. It seems that this is the headset that comes with the SE:

Logitech Internet Chat Headset

There's going to be Double Domination

Double Domination
Each level has 2 Domination Points. In order to score, you must 'capture' each Control Point (by running over it) and keep them in your team's possession for 10 seconds. After scoring, the Control Points reset to neutral and will become available to Dominate again after another 10 seconds.

 

[CaseTragedy]

looks good to me--not a lot of people have been using voice.
I only remember 1 person using it in the AT server.
