UT2K3 Bonus Pack News -- 1:13 pm CST, Update by The Master

There's a blurb from Steve Polge in this Infogames forum thread discussing the delay on the Unreal Tournament 2003 bonus pack release. Here ya go:

A lot of unexpected issues have come up that have delayed the release of the bonus pack. We had to release patch 2186 before the bonuspack, because the bonuspack relies on some functionality added in 2186. Testing and releasing that patch took a little longer than expected. Then, we had to make a new version for Germany to satisfy the German requirements to avoid having the game "indexed". After that, we had to make another patch (2199) to address the server exploits that were published.

We've been working on the bonus pack at the same time as these other things, but they have certainly been a distraction, and we are a small company. These other items in particular took testing resources away from the bonuspack.

We never promised a release date for the bonus pack- just estimates, and certainly its taken longer than we expected. We are still testing and fixing bugs for the bonus pack. Providing estimates for a release date is dangerous, because I'll be accused of lying if we don't make that date (I'm not sure what our motivation for taking longer than needed would be, though).

A.T. Hun comments: In a related story, J and I played some bombing run in UT2K3 last night. I hosted and he joined. A good time was had by all. We experimented quite a bit with the link gun and found its linking feature to be tremendously entertaining.
