Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
The caveat is that you're not even aware you're downloading the 'virus' if it's embedded in flash; it can already have executed everything it wants to on your machine before you've had a clue and unless it does something obvious you may never know it was there at all - your virus scanners probably won't pick it up either since there is no foreign executable for them to pick at; the flash executable does all the legwork there.
Most importantly though, the exploits are well known - really well known. There are more than a hundred (if not two hundred) well documented critical vulnerabilty exploits out there that you can just look up.
To an experienced flash developer, this is the exact opposite. They're used to working with a completely different set of tools, what we have here is a set of tools that can be used by someone to enter the flash market with no real flash experience.
Not bad points at all! Flash deserves its reputation, and anyone who doesn't want to play in a leaky sandbox shouldn't. I just don't think there's necessarily a strong correlation between giving Flash a new feature and a worsening of the evils pointed out about Flash. In this instance, it's unlikely that someone who wishes to use Flash as an attack vector would bother using the UDK to do so... then they'd have pay Epic for royalties earned by their malware, right?
So then what's left is that this might extend the life of Flash, making it a relevant attack vector for a longer time, but if Flash is really dying, I don't think UE3 is enough to really make a difference. I guess I was just being more obnoxious in my previous post because the internet is the place to be like that. 
That's not saying much.But UT2k4 has the most active players of all UT games.

Retail players can join demo servers, of course it's going to be the most active.
fair enough, was a much better game anyway
Now get your ass back in the game and make us some nice new balanced vehicles like you did with the Badger.
