thats what im talking about, the gameplay mechanics have been already designed for ut3, and in ut3 dodge jump was chosen to be removed,
so ut3 != dodgejump,
dodge jump could return in a different new game, for example ut4, ut5, but ut3 has not been designed with dodge jump in mind, (different thing is somebody adds it as a non official mutator)
its not a debate, not an opinion, its a fact.

I hope that this is like UT 2003 ---> UT 2004 with the result being a bona fide UT99-2.
The question in my mind is:
Do they sincerely want to resurrect the UT series on the PC?
OR
Are they just looking for an inexpensive way (less expensive than making a UT4) to fulfill their contract with Midway and just write off the UT series? Do they really want to invest any more time, money, and energy in the Unreal franchise after the UT3 debacle?
If the purpose of the expansion is indeed to transform UT3 into a real PC game and improve it ala UT 2003 ----> UT 2004 then I think they'd need to release an updated and very polished demo where people could see the new user interface and see that all of the user interface, server browser, keybinds, and tweaking features they enjoyed in UT 2004 will be there in the UT3 expansion.

NO! It is NOT "wonderful news" yet. It's just news. Anything Epic produces (for PC gamers) is now heavily suspect and we cannot call it "good news" until we've seen a finished product that is worthy of the Unreal Tournament name.

The community is spread out between three games (mostly just two games, UT99 and UT 2004)) because Epic failed to release a high quality UT sequel that was worthwhile for all of the people happily playing UT99 and UT 2004. If Epic were to produce a real, bona-fide UT99-2, giving UT3 the UT 2003 ----> UT 2004 treatment and making people WANT to play the new game exclusively because it is better and fresher and more populated online than the older games then the community could be united.
Epic's focus should not be on how to unite the greater UT community but rather on making a spectacular UT-for-the-PC game that would be so good that anyone who ever liked any Unreal game would want to play it exclusively. That's what they need to do. If they can do that then problem of having a spread-out, split-up fanbase will take care of itself.

I think Epic should simply get rid of the UI complete.y Start the game and you are in the game right away, ready to press fire. No hassle to find a server or people to play against, no hassle to set up anything, or to start a single player compgain. True instant action!
A UT99-Live would be a good idea to revitalize the franchise some along with just making UT99 available as a free download. It's not like it would cut into UT3 or UT 2004 sales at this point and I doubt that they're selling many copies of UT99 these days. By releasing UT99 as a free public download or as a UT99-Live they would generate publicity for the game and introducing new players to what is widely regarded as the best of the UT games. Getting people who are new to the franchise to play UT99 might be a great way to increase the UT fanbase.

Is it dead because no one is interested in online multiplayer FPS or is it dead because the FPS scene lacks a kick-ass online multiplayer FPS that could make people as enthusiastic and as hardcore as UT99 did?
I think it's the later of two.

Ditto. I think we've already had enough bad news from epic to be at least cautiously suspicious when we see some new announcement for UT3.

That is one of the most retarded ideas I've ever read and it would make the game worse than UT3 is today. What if you wanted to adjust some settings? What if you wanted to open up the server browser and choose what server you want to play on? (The real UT game is online multiplayer, btw.)

It isn't. Breaking version compatibility has happened before and the sky didn't fall.
Low player numbers on UT3 has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Whenever I have tried to get a game there haven't been any populated servers near me or else the few that were populated were full. So, now I've pretty much given up looking. The last time that I fired up UT3 was August.
All that is by way of saying, Brizz is right, there is very little left to lose and much to gain.
As for the general announcement, it's so vague that I will follow WarTourist's sage advice and wait and see:
I hope it comes good and I'm willing to pay for a good UT3.5 but I have to recognise that we have been here before - only to have our hopes dashed by the reality of the end product.
Rightly or wrongly, UT3 has strained and even broken the loyalty of many of us. Even for those for whom it proved to much to bear, I think we (I'm only in the "strained" category
are still looking for an excuse to abandon our heretical ways and return to the one true faith. I really do hope that Epic manage to provide us with that excuse.
Ohhh an expansion to something that is already not worth playing. I am so excited!
Wait, no.
To be honest, there needs to be a gigantic leap in the games quality, playability, and feel for me to buy this. Something along the lines of UT2003 -> UT2004. Otherwise I just am not going to waste my money.
