Some sad news today from one of the more promising UT2003 modifications. The UT2003 Troopers project will not be released under the current name, but will instead be released as 'Troopers: Dawn of Destiny'. Here's what BadKarma, former Trooper Lead Developer had to say:
It is my sad duty to inform you that troopers rise of the rebellion will not be released.
Team members have pretty much stolen the mod from under me. The plan is to change the name and release it, erase me from the modification totally. I fail to see how you can erase someone who conceived the mod concept 3 years ago, pore his heart into it. Fought for it, brought the team together, and has guided it through leadership until its first demo release.
I am sure that there will be a lot of posts over the next few days about who did what and why, and as I did not agree to sign over the mod and all my maps to members of the team, I will be in for some public harassment as they stated in their transfer document.

The second reason it's taken so long to post an update has been the unfortunate leave BadKarma has taken from the team. The Project Lead of Troopers: Rise of the Rebellion since its inception, BadKarma has moved on from Troopers, and will be working on a new modification with his time. Many individuals may be afraid for the future of Troopers, so the developers he has left behind are adamant about giving you all a very important message: the Troopers Development Team is stronger than it has ever been. Working day and night to release this mod, no details have been spared the final release of the Demo. Everything we said we were going to release, we ARE going to release, and that's just the demo.
