I found that in another forum, could be only a big rumor:
Epic just announced that they are currently working on a second bonus pack for UT2003.
The second bonus pack will contain at least the following:

* 3 New deathmatch maps
* 2 New CTF maps
* 3 New bombing run maps
* 3 New double domination maps
* New player models: Skaarj, Nali and Nali cow
* New gametypes: (Team) Hunt, players have to hunt down a nali rabbit, and in the team variant they have to return it to their base
* New mutator: Darkmatch, every player is equiped with a flash light and plays in almost completely dark maps
* New weapon: Spider bombs, aim for a player and release the spider bomb, it will then chase that player and explode on impact


No word on when it's done or what the current status is.
But if true or not it sounds interesting... ;)

Sounds interesting. I just hope they're going to re-model the Skaarj, Nali and Nali cow...
Oh, hey, and spiderbombs vs. proxies could be fun!

At the rate they are going, there won't be many old UT mods/muts left. They are putting them all in the game. 8O

It's free, I know I know, ....but only 2 CTF maps?? And 3 DDOM and 3 BR maps included? Geez. :roll:

Don't worry, I inquired a little bit about the seriousness of this piece of info...

It turns out, that this was an April Fool's joke... Some Unreal News sites took this too serious and posted today/yesterday this info again...

So in the end it is a very delayed April Fool's joke...
This BP2 info is true like R.Flagg's retirement from Chaos UT... ;)
