"The public perception of the UT200X series outside of the UT community isn't great. So why the hell did they name it 2007? What's wrong with UT3 or UT4? Nothing. It works, it gives the new game a place in the series, and excorcises the UT200X series' many demons. But no, they give it a name that ties the game back to the screw-ups Epic have already admitted they made with UT200X."
I agree with Selerox and Anuban, etc. on this point. TossMonkey, it's too late to call it UT2 because the map file names for UT2003/2004 end with .ut2 and the ones for the new game will be .ut3. If you called it UT2 and the map names ended with .ut3, then it would be very confusing. I'll also be one to not upgrade my system until 2007, so I might be playing the new game on low detail for a while.
