The latest issue of PC Zone UK features a blowout on Unreal Tournament 2007 that features some terrific high-res assets and yields some interesting new details:
Feigning Death is back!
All maps will stream - not just Conquest. You'll be able to chat and strategize even as levels are loading up. Teams should stay set between rounds.
Hoverboard may include a grappling hook to attach to other vehicles.
Possible deployables (no gametypes specificed) such as a semi-solid Jelly Shield that will allow you to block entrances or trap others in, Spy Robots, Automatic Turrets.
A possible "insectoid" walker-vehicle.
Conquest gametype will include Tarydium resources - but will not slow down gameplay.
Survival gametype "sort of a 1 on 1".
Level-specific "superweapons" such as a collapsing roof, broken dam, earthquakes, falling boulders. (no gametype specified)
The most focus being placed on DM and CTF - getting just right.
The UT2007 name may change: "...at the moment we're calling it UT2007, but that could change. We might not do numbers.”
If you live in the UK, I'd rush right out and buy the mag as it is packed with art and details. We can't post the scans of the article, but we've cropped out a nice pic of the new Manta (right). Thanks Selerox!
