Unreal Tournament 3 For Linux Confirmed

[hoser]

While everyone was expecting UT 3 for Linux based upon Epic Games providing native Linux clients for their past Unreal Tournament titles, this week it was officially confirmed by Epic's Mark Rein that there will be a Linux client for UT3. Mark Rein is the VP of Epic Games as well as being their forum administrator. He had stated earlier this week: "We're a multi-platform company folks please come to grips with that. We like the PC. We like the 360. We like the PS3. We like the Macintosh. We like Linux. We will deliver UT3 for all of these platforms and it will rock on every one." You can read this statement in this Epic thread. Unreal Tournament 3 (previously known as Unreal Tournament 2007) is scheduled for release towards the end of this year.

If only they could confirm the game for Windows. That would be a plus.

If this ran on Linux this would run faster and better because it wouldnt have to compete for the resources like windows does right?

MAYBE.... if it were coded right you would think, but alot of linux native "windows" games are really ports and usually run slower on linux

All the UT series were able to run on linux. They run flawlessly and installlation is a breeze. All you peeps still using winblows get a life and try
other platforms for the PC you will be shocked what is out there. I like Unbutu so easy a caveman can run and install it.
