Unreal Tournament 3 has Gone Gold!

**Lert** · 10-31-2007, 02:44 PM

Woot ! Excellent news. Thank you for all the hard work, team at Epic.

**DeMiZe28** · 10-31-2007, 03:06 PM

Woohoo I can't wait! Maybe I'll take Nov. 19th off and go get the game and play all day

**hawkwind** · 10-31-2007, 03:22 PM

Maybe I'll take Nov. 19th off

what do you mean maybe!

shipping nov 19th means available at retail stores nov 19th or nov 21?
i guess they can make enough copies of the master disks in 2 weeks to fill their orders.

**acidspaz** · 10-31-2007, 03:22 PM

Am off to preorder.

Thank you for making it playable on my "old" pc!

**drakeslayer** · 10-31-2007, 03:33 PM

IT's great, UT3 is gold.
That is a good news !!
Thanks a lot for all you have done !

**UndeadRoadkill** · 10-31-2007, 03:35 PM

Where can we get the single-player trailer besides filthy fileplanet? I'd like to see it, but I won't DL from fileplanet.

**ShadowRaptor** · 10-31-2007, 03:36 PM

Congrats Epic!!! YES! YES! GOLD! GOLD!

**woooo** · 10-31-2007, 03:38 PM

i will go pre-order it now, hopefully i can get it 22nd or 23rd (1 day before a local lan party). I will have something to do then when were not playing games.

**DarkSideofOZ** · 10-31-2007, 03:44 PM

w00t, now how bout an official demo

**{RU}Sirius** · 10-31-2007, 04:13 PM

I feel all tingly in meh nether regions

**Catzenjaeger** · 10-31-2007, 04:28 PM

Congrats Epic and this what i see last week in Munich to the fullversion test was very very good and i can say: this game rocks and will help to built a new ut community.
I cant wait but one think i find very bad.

Mark: why to hell release you this game not worldwide on a same date? You forget your words about a worldwide release?

**Atropos91** · 10-31-2007, 04:50 PM

Now the question is:

Did you listen the players petitions about the bugs/problems in demo and are they solved?

**Worlock** · 10-31-2007, 04:53 PM

LOL? Man, I'll put in a wish that all of the issues were actually addressed, but I'm extremely pessimistic about a gold announcement this soon after the problem plagued beta. If the server browser/UI/server side even resembles the beta, this will be my last Epic product.

**Brutal** · 10-31-2007, 04:54 PM

Yay we have an official release date now

!

They are not EA anyway what are you talking about? I just think this thread is for saying thanks and congrats ... not talking about fixing bugs ... don't you folks think that they already read all your posts talking about the bugs and the things you don't like about the game? Why bring that to this thread?

Well if you feel that way then why buy this version? You seem to have problems with the games they release. So skip this one and don't worry about it ... pretty simple solution. No way you will be a sucker if you just "walk on by".

Did you folks who are complaining about crap even read this? Epic is on top if this people ... this is the same folks that made Gears of War ... one of the best selling games of all time. So give them some credit. You are getting to amazing games from Epic in the same month ... Gears PC and UT3 ... stop complaining and be glad that a company like Epic even exists.

**Worlock** · 10-31-2007, 05:20 PM

Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

I'll never understand people's rabid need to blindly defend everything. Epic is a for-profit company. People show their appreciation by purchasing their products, not kissing their ass on a forum.

**Omnes Vulnerant** · 10-31-2007, 05:24 PM

Can we at least see what the menu looks like now?

So if you like a company, have been happy with their products, feel they do actually care about the community they have served so long and faithfully, and then decide to stick up for them in anyway that means you are a sycophant? Buddy you are waaaay off base ... what it means is you are supportive of a company that has always done right by you and brought you hours and hours of fun and enjoyment. Nothing more and nothing less.

**RogueLeader** · 10-31-2007, 05:59 PM

YEAH!!! Can't wait playing the full!

**Dark_Slayer** · 10-31-2007, 06:00 PM

Very good news !!!
I hope the menu, browser, mouse support, weapons and vehicles and of course the video settings are now improved

**WoLvErInE** · 10-31-2007, 06:33 PM

congrats EPIC! wow, time to put in for vacation. i had saved up 12 days for when ut came out. thank you so much! i wanna cry from joy

**Madmanxan** · 10-31-2007, 06:40 PM

any Aus dates? or would that be around the same times as Europe

**unrealkiller** · 10-31-2007, 06:44 PM

20 more days to go ... as sites post their benchmarks, i am ordering my PC.

**Epickiller** · 10-31-2007, 07:00 PM

alls cool, UT3's gone gold, eh? Well so much for my evergrowing fear (or want) for a sudden delay...

**MrLemur2U** · 10-31-2007, 07:01 PM

**mrthundercleese** · 10-31-2007, 07:21 PM

GM FTW! Whistles go WOOOO!

Seriously, congrats guys. Cant wait to give you money

!

**lecie** · 10-31-2007, 07:37 PM

Yay

....

**Skill** · 10-31-2007, 07:39 PM

Now i just need to convince my friends with good computer to buy it. Guessin my amd 1.01 ghz won't run it :P. I tried to install it on my computer (i knew i wouldnt be able to play, but i was hopin to check out the menus and stuff) and it basically laughed pityingly at my hardware, and closed out of spite.

**NitrousOxide** · 10-31-2007, 07:43 PM

"Hell, it's about time."

"Top drawer."

"Most excellent."

**3leggedFreak** · 10-31-2007, 07:48 PM

I am excited, really hope it will be a smash hit and make people realize how inferior the pea shooters really are. ^^

**Fedora.Pirate** · 10-31-2007, 07:49 PM

Awesome, rock on guys! To all at Epic HQ enjoy a well derserved break between now and the 19th; then you can start dealing with all the "OMG Epic fix pls!" :P
But I have one question; when do those of us who live outside of America and Europe get it; we still exist you know. I'd love an Australia/Oceania Release date, and I'm sure there are those who'd like an Asian one

**Porkinator** · 10-31-2007, 07:53 PM

Hot Dawg !!

I second that.

**dinwitty** · 10-31-2007, 08:46 PM

I think on some releases, including UT whatver version after gold, I have seen the games out about a week later like at Eb Games (Gamestop). But its difficult to get and find all the early releases and the game slowly trickles to the rest of the stores. I hope EPIC gets a really good supply out for everybody so theres no slam dango shortages and mad dashes for collectors versions etc...
"sorry, out of it, wait a little bit...)
I think some early releases got swiped up and hit ebay at accellerated prices....

Thanks for the clarification ... I knew it was something like that ... so there are no more verification testing then? I am sure there is just to make sure that the dups install correctly ... but maybe I am incorrect. So it is just being sent off to make millions of copies and get packaged and then ready for Nov. 19th ... is that what you are saying? Cool. I am happy camper then.
