You heard correctly. Unreal Tournament went gold this morning. For those of you who don't know what this means, going gold means that they have started printing the CDs to ship to stores. For more info, go to here: http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=353897

i dont know, its fun to play but it has a lot of bugs... i hope the final version will not be that buggy...
and i dont get why they use so crappy textures and ugly glowing colors... makes the game look really bad!
and i hope they find a way to get rid of the weird lag... even when im playing with a 40 ping the game lags like cs with a 80+ ping

They used "crappy" textures in the demo to make it smaller. The full verison is supposed to ship with 1024x1024 textures. I've found the 'weird lag' only occurs in serves that show up with a ping of around 10, but I also hope that gets fixed.

What do you mean by lag?

Could have been a server problem with the lag.
There is a bug with the demo that causes the servers to lag for no reason when they start to go over 20players.
Went from 3x 24 players to 4x 20man to get around the problem for the time being...supposedly the full version will fix this.
Thats really the only lag I've ever noticed in the game, other then that, higher pings in UT04 feel better to me then a lower ping in CS etc...
Looking forward to the full release :D

They're under an "NDA" type of thing where they are not allowed to sell until a certain date even if they get it ahead of time.

Well if you got it early Monday morning consider yourself lucky because EB reported it being shipped out to stores Monday and arriving Tuesday...and the SE edition even a few days later! You must live in a great location for getting games early.

Got my SE copy on Tuesday at Future Shop in a small Canadian town. They had a rack full. For $49.99 CDN, I wasn't complaining :)

My DVD edition cost $39.99. Not a bad price. I even sent in my coupon for $10 off! 30 bucks isn't bad at all for this game, in fact, it's great.
its really nice.. i've played it a few times since I got it a couple days ago
