UT2003 shipping.

I'm really glad to see that. MacSoft makes excellent ports. I'm currently enjoying their "Dungeon Siege" RPG game, although the game is frighteningly similar to the Diablo series.

But does it include UnrealED?

I'm itching to make some maps and models using Maya, but I'm hoping that there's finally a way to do this that doesn't involve Virtual PC.

I wish it were in stores on the 11th. I called my local Apple Store and they didn't have it.

No UnrealEd. Most likely never will be a Mac version anytime soon. The PC version is very Windows centric and porting it would be as much work (likely more) than porting the game itself. Considering only an extremely small fraction of the users would even use UnrealEd, the cost of porting the app just isn't worth it to the publishers. This holds true for many, many game editing tools.

I think UnrealED is written in VB, no?

I called around a few places and they said probably this weekend. I guess we shall see.

I'll be all over the stores this weekend, looking for this game. I really hope it arrives. This should be a hot seller on the Mac end.

Actually I have had this game for months (on my PC). I haven't played it more than a dozen times or so.

businezguy · Jun 15, 2003, 12:14 PM

Well, Comp USA didn't have the game. I'm going to check the Apple Store to see if I get lucky. I doubt it.

I got mine from IMG today also.

BUT, the installer craps out right after I enter in my CD key. MacSoft is closed so I can't play the game.

Did anyone else get the game installed?

Guess I was lucky. Mine installed without a problem. I left it loading from the first CD, came back a little while later, and it was asking for the second. D'oh!

Speed is ok, controls are a little jerky. Guess it's time to upgrade the system.
