UT3 demo released

Demo is out and about, surprised it hasn't been posted.

It runs surprisingly well on older hardware.

AMD FX 55 (San Diego)
LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D
2x1 GB OCZ EL DDR PC-3200 Titanium (2-3-2-5)
Nvidia 7800 GTX (Beta 163.75)
Creative Soundblaster X-FI Fatality FPS (2.15.0003)
WD Raptor 150 GB
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate x64 (All windows update hotfixes)
Latest DX and OpenAL

That's at 1280x1024, and it feels very smooth, apart from some hiccups shortly after starting a match.

I didn't even expect UT3 to run on my machine, but instead it runs silky smooth. I really got to hand it to those guys, they have done a superb job optimizing their engine.

Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz
Memory: 1024MB PC3200 DDR
Hard Drive: 7,200 RPM 75GB HDD
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS AGPx8
Monitor: KDS Visula Sensations XF-9e/XF-9p
Sound Card: Realtek AC97 Audio
Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254)

Also, the gameplay and weapon balance seems a lot better in UT3 compared to the last few Unreal games.

Yea I dled it. Seems like it keeps with the classic action of all of Unreal Tournament games. Great demo but I'll be getting it for the PS3.
