Here's a bit from the BOFH: ""In THEORY it sort of works like that," I say, drawing a quick diagram on the Boss's whiteboard, "but in ACTUALITY, it's a lot more complicated than that . You've got CPU temperatures to consider - if a higher spec is supported by the board - along with bus speeds, interoperability with other components of lesser spec, not to mention power supply requirements!" "Yes, yes, but all this stuff has a certain amount of leeway built into it which we could take advantage of," The CEO burbles, having been fully indoctrinated into the ancient order of overspeccing .

A new build of UT2003 (Build 927)has been leaked and this time it looks like it is a leak of the full game (See the description below) . The Digital Resource got a copy of it and has posted up a swag of screenshots . read below for what they had to say: A couple of days ago, there was a new leak of Unreal Tournament 2003 . This time it's build #927 and it's filesize is 921 Mb to download . The build contains 50 maps and also the detailed characters and the amazing karma physics . I must say, the levels look awesome and the amount of detail is just cunning . lights and shadows are even more realistic in this build, and I can sense and improvement of the gameplay . There is one thing about this though; it's timebombed . After 15 days the trial will expire, unless you have a crack, that is ;-) It requires about 4 gig of free hard disk space and it actually installs 2,27 gigabyte . Though the enormous amount of disk space it takes in, the loading times are no more then 10 to 20 seconds for a big level, which I think, is a great achievement . Great engine guys :-) I made some screenshots (289 of them) of each map and also included are screenshots of the improved menu and every gameplay setting . Have fun watching them!
