Today, Epic released a Bonus Pack for Unreal Tournament 3. Arriving on PlayStation 3 and PC, the free map pack brings back two classics and one new creation. The classics are of “Morbias” and “Facing Worlds”, from the original Unreal Tournament. The new map, designed specifically for Capture the Flag, is “Searchlight.”
There has been no word about these maps coming to the Xbox 360 version. I suspect that it has something to do with Microsoft wanting to charge for them; however, that is just speculation.
To get these maps, PlayStation 3 users can pull it off the PlayStation Network. PC gamers can head over to the Unreal Tournament 3 site and download them there.
The crew over at ClanBase has interviewed superstar game designer CliffyB about e-Sports, the gaming industry, and his gaming background. This is the first of many more mainstream interviews that ClanBase plans, so check this excerpt and head over there for the full story.

Turn on ESPN late at night and tell me what you see. Trick shot pool. Log cutting. Poker. I believe that if a part of your body is moving, your brain is engaged, and people are willing to watch then it’s a sport.
This may not necessarily be gaming-related, but it’s pretty much the only non-lethal chaingun you’ll ever get your hands on. I basically relived my Quake and Unreal Tournament fantasies through this video.
This thing kicks so much ass, with 24 barrels a 288 band capacity and the ability to shoot at 40 bands per second cats and kids alike will quiver at the sight of this magnificent creation.

Hot off the heels of beta patch 3 comes beta patch 4 for Unreal Tournament 3. Changes are as follows:
Demo playback:
- Fixed demo playback not working if the PlayerController didn’t get recorded into the first frame
Server Administration:
- Added new IdleServerTickRate property to IpDrv.TcpNetDriver. If not set, IdleServerTickRate defaults to MaxTickRate. Can be set to lower values to reduce server CPU utilization when 0 players. Reported ping will increase if set lower.
