I believe that Microsoft got into talks with Epic about buying the unreal engine so that THEY could get a nice bundle from licensing it out to all the other companies.

Most likely Epic themselves will end up jammed in the trash, and Microsoft can not only then make certain that no freeloading linux user can’t play it unless they buy windows, but that no more sexy ue3 engine games come out on other rival platforms such as PS3 forcing owners of that machine into a similar position to PC users choosing not to use windows.

Wouldn’t be the first, and certainly won’t be the last company that Microsoft buys up just to throw away in order to make life for it’s competitors more difficult.

A year? It
s like going to be 2 years .. When will the UT3 Linux Client be finished? I’ll not wait another years.
I want to play it NOW!
Unfortunately EPIC seems to have dropped their Linux support..
I guess I’ll return my DVD.

Boring!

I have do the same. Bought the Game in hoped to play it a week later the Box was released, like with Quake 4. But this delay is awful. I will not blame someone for this it’s just going wrong.

If i looking forward, i suppose the client will release in six more month :/ Because there will be huge issues. Not just these legal.

After a while i bought Vista to play this game but’s not really nice there. The game work’s slow and it’s not funny to dual Boot just for this. So i don’t play it. With ETQW i found one Game i really love. But it’s just nice to play with friends in a Teamplay. It’s not the same short Instant Action i loved in UT. But the third is different. From Windows i like to drive with the Hoverboard. But’s thats after a while boring. And the Campaign-Mode is Boring too. As i saw the preview Videos i supposed a Story like Half Life 2 But thats wrong its the same as in UT2004. And this is sad too. After a while you replay the maps again different Computers and as these point it gets more and more boring.

ETQW have a nice design of the maps and balanced team play its different but i like it more. But there not enough maps.

BUT i want CTF, instand Gib

My last hope is that this game will run with wine! The installer works now and just some Lightning Effects won’t work. And some Textures.

Yeah true that. You want me to be humble when it’s something that was originally promised on the original discs, then delayed for a week?

Read or listen to the interview with John Knottenbelt – he’s convinced that Linux ports are worth doing.

Same with iD Software, they have no problem doing ports.

EPIC has gone down the wrong path as of late, just look at the lawsuits they’ve been getting into – accused of releasing a non-complete engine (UE3) and working on Gears of War instead of living up to their expectations.

@Perzy: What are you mumbling about? There are no legal issues to put out a Linux client. Just look at how easily iD does it time after time.

How about some humbelness…? Is Linux such a great system if Epic has so much problem with legal issues just to sell the da*n game?

I’m just glad I gave my copy away so somebody could enjoy it.
