Perfect Dark has released version 2 beta. Check it out.

A few notes before you get started:
1) It is highly suggested that you re-download all the maps if you downloaded them before 11/5/04. There have been many changes to make them more suitable for play.
2) The slot system is implemented! You can choose what weapons to use through the mod menu.
3) New weapons! The Dragon, Combat Knife, and Falcon 2 are all included and have some functionality. The bot support isn't the best, but they DO fire at you.

Before you start reporting bugs, please check the forums and the bugs page. There are many bugs, mostly visual. If you find others that are not listed, please post them in the forums or e-mail me at mrbond113@hotmail.com.

The Action Unreal Tournament team has posted an update for the community.

First of all, there is no confirmed release date, however it will be before the 15th and I will be sure to let you know when the decision is made.

Secondly, it appears that the assault rifle will not make this release due to resource constraints amongst the team, we simply can not include it and promise the same high quality as the rest of our weapon models and skins. Don’t let this get you down though, as I can announce two more brand new maps that will make this release. ‘Office’ by Parkar is, unsurprisingly perhaps, a floor in an office building whereas ‘Docks’ by Gasmask, assisted by Seekm, is a dark dock based level. Expect to see map showcases sometime this week featuring them and the two other brand new R1 maps, ‘Wikked City’ and ‘Great Balls of Fire’.

The Red Orchestra mod has another update for us today. They are showcasing their Jucha map. View their website to see their awesome screenshots.

Welcome to Jucha, a town in eastern Poland that on the 15th July, 1944, held witness to a deadly dance between Soviet paratroopers and remnants of the 28th Jäger Division that had taken up position there as it recovered from heavy conflict from the previous weeks. The Soviet paratroopers, the Separate NKVD Airborne Company of the 1st Ukrainian Front, were all volunteers, eager to inflict revenge on their hated enemy in its weakened position. With orders to take and hold the village, these soldiers jumped into the annals of history.
