Yap, thats right UT2003 has gone gold. It will be out on shelves about 2 weeks later, can’t wait for it. Sure a great game with fantastic graphics. Here is the forum post about it:

Just before 5AM Eastern Standard Time this morning we shipped the release version of Unreal Tournament 2003 to manufacturing. It should be in production later today and in stores before the end of the month. We want to thank everyone on the forum for all of the valuable feedback. In the week since we shipped the demo we worked pretty much non-stop to squash a lot of bugs and incorporate some of the great feedback we got from players all around the world.

Steve Polge is going to post a list of some of the gameplay changes we made since the demo in the demo feedback forum.

UT2003 is a 3 CD set. Of course you know its a huge game with a ton of content (over 35 levels), great characters, awesome gametypes, incredible AI, cool mutators, etc. But theres also some great tools.

Just came back from Funan, got my copy of Warcraft 3, I thought there will not be so much people there as later on students need to go to school. To my surprise there are ALOT of people queueing already. There are 4 shops selling Warcraft 3, 1000 copies are available to a shop for today only, more stocks will be coming later in the afternoon. You need to register at the counter to get a sticker, there is no limit to how many stickers a person can take. Each sticker is enittled to only 1 game.

Lucky for me, I got the Human box, those who get the Orcs box not really lucky from my POV, as the Orcs box is the default design for Warcraft 3 box. Channel News Asia team was there also, interviewing people and fliming the scene, 2 or 3 of the people which was interviewed was very closed to me, lucky I was not interviewed. Hehe

The goodies bag come with:

»Warcraft 3 Game Box
» Warcraft 3 Poster
» Warcraft 3 T-Shirt in XL
» Warcraft 3 Mouse Pad
» Warcraft 3 Stickers

Even the carrier has also Warcraft 3 prints on it, very nice indeed.

Yes, thats right the game we have been waiting for, for the pass 2 years had gone gold. It will start shipping to retailers worldwide on July 3 2002. So guys, start saving your money now, from what I know, the collector’s edition will be about S$110 and the normal edition will be about $60. Not confirm though.

Here is a scoope from its press release:

In Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, players revisit the war-torn world of Azeroth a generation after the end of the Second War between the Orcs and the Humans. The fragile peace that had since settled over the land is now on the verge of being shattered, for a dark power has returned after thousands of years to carry out its nefarious plans. Two new races – the Undead Scourge and the Night Elves – emerge to join the fray, as players follow a single epic storyline through four successive campaigns. Players can also take the battle into their own hands in an enhanced multiplayer mode, playable on local area networks and exclusively over the Internet on Battle.net®, the largest online service of its kind in the world.
