Unreal Tournament 2003 Demo Released

Damn it all to HELL!!!!!
For some reason my download just completed at 40MBs. Well as you can guess that is far from complete and stuffit couldn't open it. So now I have to reconnect.

I have BitTorrent, how should I proceed, I'm getting it from someone right now?

I have it... now how to host?
 
SF.net

Uuuh - Sourceforge?

If I put that on my project site, the bandwidth would skyrocket so high (no offense, guys) my project would get kicked without any warning whatsoever. Besides - I don't think there's that much room on the account. I'd host it myself, but I only have ADSL. Is there somewhere else I could upload it? someone with a T1? or someone on a lax school network?
 
oh great.
at long last, it finally came out.
and i am stuck at work without access to my computer at home...

If the performance benchmarks are anything to be believed, this and Doom III will rock on any 970. However, Apple will need to push to get the high-end GPU's on the mac at the ~time as the PC. You never know, the increase in high profile games and increase in gamers on the Mac platform will probably make ATI and nVidia take more notice of OS X as an respectable future gaming platform. Maybe this will spur their production on. Here's hoping. 😎

um... you must be delerious if you think we will see Doom III even six months after the pc release. Work has just begun (last month i think) on porting the engine to mac.
 
lol, u lot keep on downloading. i on the other hand have a side PC just for games, and when it comes to Unreal Tournament 2003...well been there, done that.

god i love to brag

I'm not sure that is completely correct. When John Carmack first started developing the new engine he was doing it with Mac OSX. The first time the world ever got a preview of Doom III it was previewed on a Mac. That was a couple years ago.

I didn't mean to suggest that I believe we'll see it released along side the PC version.

Anyway, JC's engines are all written in C (some ASM, but getting less), and I know that the engine has been designed to be as cross-platform as possible from the start, so it will not be a re-write like many of the Direct3D games that have been ported to OS X and OGL. JC has pledged support for ID games on OS X, at an expo or something a year or two ago.
 
If someone needs the torrent link post to tell me how to do it, I have godly cable upload speeds, around 700 usually... good enought for 10 users.
 
So I have been playing it for a while and it's a blast. What sort of frame rates are people getting. On my Dual/GHz/DDR PowerMac with the OEM G4MX 32MB I am getting a whopping 20FPS max at 800x600 at 32bit with all details turned on. With everything off and at 640x480 at 16bit I get 60-80FPS until I get in a fire fight and it drops to 20FPS. It is amazingly still playable at the low FPS and I was kickin ass but I want my ATI9700.
 
Talk about karma... My 1.42DP with 2GB ram was delivered TODAY! Let's rock. (why is it so darn heavy anyway? Gotta be twice my 867)

I just downloaded it from IMG pro ($20 a year - worth it, believe me) and on my machine, it works great with the default options set - I'll fiddle with them later. I have to finish some homework, then I'll play some more - but holy crap, is that a fun demo. Finally a FPS game that runs well on my comp, and with my Rev 7.1 sound card - (no news on surround yet - haven't checked.)
In any case - here's my machine specs for all those interested:

G4/933 Tower (single)
GeForce4 MX 64MB
768MB RAM
running at 800x600 so far - I'll try 1024 and report back

THE WAIT IS WORTH IT PEOPLE - or just pay $20 for IMG pro... 😀 😀 😀

Now THAT's what I wanna hear. I've got the same specs, plus my RAM is maxed out, so... basically, I'm stoked. Turned on. Moist with pleasure... shall I continue? 😀
 
Now that this is out,

Will Rainbow Six : Raven-shield come to the Mac, and soon?

Please oh please oh please oh please. 😉
 
How do you check your FPS? Lemme know and I'll tell you what I get on my Dual 1GHz w/ 512MB DDR RAM and a GeForce 4 Ti 128mb

Thank you again Bandit. Does it ever frustrate you how many incorrect assumptions there are about the Mac? Next someone's gonna tell us "yeah, but I bet you wish you had wireless networking!

"Or a GUI OS! Suckaz! Windows ROOLZ!"

gotta add 'MY computer Roxors because it has more GHZ'
 
for those people who are finding it very difficult to download from the mirrors on macgamefiles.com:
in safari option click all the download sites on macgamefiles and just wait...
or ask around for a link to an unauthorized mirror-which will be much faster.
 
Hey, this works...

I'm getting a copy from a buddy who shot it to me via iChat. Not bad. Just about done (it's taken about 30 minutes).

Coolio!

Time to say goodbye to my lovely wife. I'll miss her... (snif) ... Goodbye job... Goodbye friends...

HELLO KILL!!!
 
98MB completed!!!! 🙂 I have played the PC demo tons, but I am certain the Mac version will play better... 😀
 
this will be nice just to see what my powerbook can handle[15" 1ghz, 1gbRAM], or more like weather i can start a small brush fire from the display's hinges! but... fortunatly ive got mr big-loud-black-pc-box to my right with ut2k3 already loaded. 🙄

im skeptical about ut2k3's performance on my powerbook though, if warcraft 3 is any indicator, which started to slow up when the action got thick... though i was running in native resolution...😀
 
I think it has been asked, but how do you determine the FPS? I've been playing at 1280 X 1024 with a ATI Radeon 9000 Pro and it runs great (at least I think so-but what do I know, maybe it's 15 FPS 🙄 )

Yep, the Mac version is better.. 🙂

It plays Well on my TiBook 1 Ghz 1 Gig of Ram... 64 MB ATi

I will test frame rates and then edit my post..

FYI the command is "stat fps"

On the Bomberrun map I got 60 fps in the small rooms, and I got 30 fps in the wide open rooms. When I had 6 bots in view (in one room) I had high 30's. Very playable!

I've been meaning to say this for a while...

When something is not posted on Slashdot.org and the web site goes down from too many hits, it is NOT a "slashdotting." The term "slashdotting" is for sites that are taken down from hits specifically from slashdot.org.

Sorry, I just see this very frequently on this site. I had to clear it up. I'm not trying to sound rude; I apologize if it comes off that way.
