The new free Unreal Tournament has come a long way in a short time, and it’s getting better with each new release!
I tried to grab a video of the new map, but their server list is lying to me, every game I joined that claimed it was on the new “Outpost23” map, wasn’t. Here’s a pretty video of it from someone else:

To get in on the action you need to go to this forum post as a registered and logged in user, and follow the Linux download link.
Once downloaded you can run it in terminal by doing this command (in the downloaded folder):
You don’t need the opengl4 argument, but it works a lot better for me!
Apparently it will crash x if you run it with mesa, so don't even try unless you like to reboot. I can't verify this, but it comes from a trustworthy source.
The launcher now makes everything easy, including finding a game with a “Quick Match” option, and using traditional server lists.
Remember it’s still very early, and there will be plenty of bugs and bland looking maps. Everything is still being worked on, but the combat already feels awesome.
Hop on it and tell us how it runs for you!
