Hi ...

Game engine initialized

Resolved master0.gamespy.com (216.177.89.34)
UdpGameSpyUplink: Master Server is master0.gamespy.com:27900
UdpGameSpyUplink: Port 8899 successfully bound.
Sending GameSpy heartbeat: \heartbeat\8898\gamename\ut2
MasterServerUplink: Connection to ut2003master1.epicgames.com established.
Master server requests heartbeat 0 with code 15492
Master server requests heartbeat 1 with code 15492
Master server requests heartbeat 2 with code 15492
Master server assigned our MatchID: 0
