We reported yesterday that scans of a large UT2004 preview from the Dutch gaming magazine PC Gameplay had been posted over on the Atari Forums.
While the Dutch article doesn't reveal a wealth of new UT2004 info, Steve Polge's answer to this question is rather interesting (thanks to hans_vdc for the translation).
PCGP: will there be some other new weapons, next to the already annoucned spider mines?
SP: for now there will be four new weapons (spider mindes included). there will be a rocketlauncher specifically designed to take out vehicles. you'll be able to guide this rocket to the target. there are also sticky mines, which you can fire and so they stick on other players or vehicles and last but not least after popular demand, the traditional sniper rifle makes a comeback.
So there you have it -- a new rocket launcher for taking out vehicles, as well as the return of the trusty sniper rifle.
We also grabbed some screenshots from the scans posted on the Atari forums, cleaned them up a bit and have posted them below for your viewing pleasure .
