the person who said she was porting it litterly says that she will be done soon.

1 person, porting a game.

Translation= Massive doubt.

good news for all.

...

They drop the development of the carbon port. I think the rumors were that they wanted to focus on UT2K3. I dunno.

Ah yes, the redeemer.... the wonderful memories.

Glenda has been working on the UT port when she has a few moments. There haven't been many since she's been working on EverQuest.

She and Westlake have nothing to do with UT 2003--that's only Epic.

I knew I got that from someone here, hehe. Just get the game out already.

BTW, you've got a PM.

yeah, sorry for the misinformation. I couldn't remember where or when I had heard that.

Sorry peoples!

Thanks for the clarification.

Maybe a llittle of topic:
Does anybody know in Red Faction is multi-platform?
I love the game and I was wondering if I am playing against to maccers only.
cheers

Also I heard the requirements are steep.

Even if the game is not MP-enabled, advantages of an MP system will be felt. For instance, any sound calls made by the game are almost certainly OS-level calls and the OS would throw these onto the processor not burdened with executing the main application code, so some advantage would be felt.

I'm not into computer games, more of a console kind of guy, but I wouldn't mind blowing up my (peecee) roomate with a tank from the comfort of my mac.

Back on topic: UT would be cool too! But by the time we (mac users) get it... will the rest of the game world still be playing it? I have a feeling there will be something else... some new hot title that we'll again "can't wait" for.

If they've only created separate threads for each bot, it could be consider MP-enabled. The O.S. will assign them advantageously to the processors.
