[ut3] Official release date

[Mitch]

Well, I think that there's never gonna be a linux-client release.
Current releases of cedega and wine have shown that CoD 4 (game based on 
the unreal engine 3)
and other modern games are currently working very well under linux.
It is highly possible that not too far from now games like ut3 will follow.
If Epic hasn't already made the linux-client, I don't think that they 
will spend extra money in that type of production.
Especially if the people from wine do the trick and get the game to work.

But there is a possibility that openGL 3 could turn the paper.
The current 3.0 release, which many developer are disapointed about, 
could change something if image-quality and performance
surpass dx10 (at this moment I doubt it a bit), like in UT some years 
ago. But what i have red untill now doesn't soung very optimistic.
Also I suggest that Epic is working relatively strong with microsoft in 
terms of directx and maybe games for windows live (another, in my 
opinion, useless application where i'm forced to register if i want to 
play online). I also red that the engine is based on directX.

It does not look very good for linux or windows xp (for those sticking 
to dx9 because of  bad bad vista) in terms of a client and or the
maximum image-quality at this moment.
But Unreal Engine 4 is in development and Mr. Sweeny expects that 
next-gen-consoles will soonest be shown or released in 2011/2012 and so 
I think titles with the new engine.
So there is still a little bit of time and who knows maybe we will see a 
linux-client and or an opengl 3.1 release.

In this round I'm gonna go All-in (Poker) for wine & cedega.
