CliffyB CPL Status Report

[Mozartt]

Avault has an interview with Epic's CliffyB at the CPL, and he talks a lot about the upcoming Epic Bonus pack, among other things:
Cliff also let us in on what we can expect to see as part of the Unreal Tournament 2003 Bonus Pack 1 (note - Cliff was quick to mention that this does not mean there will be a Bonus Pack 2). In the first Bonus Pack, gamers can expect to see three new game types, three new announcers (one "god"-like male, with a deep voice; one female voice; and one very seductive female voice), nine new maps which are designed for a good mid-range of players, the ability to add your own MP3 music to the game, and
a load of new textures.

Lastly as a bit of an inside joke, Cliff told us of the placebo patch effect - where a number of gamers thought that Epic modified the weapons in the first Unreal Tournament 2003 patch, when in reality, they weren't changed at all.

As for those three new gametypes, those will be the following:

Last Man Standing - Just like UT's LMS, but improved.

Mutants - The player that gets first blood becomes the mutant and is given regenerating health and increased speed. When you kill the mutant, you become the mutant. The person who is the mutant for the longest amount of time at the end of the match wins.

Invasion - A coop mode that pits you against monsters from the original Unreal, like Skaarjs'
