After last nights UT 2003 Demo leak! Here's what Mark Rein from Epic Games Inc had to say about it on the Epic Messagesboards .

leaked early test version of UT2003 is floating around the internet. It is not representative of the quality or performance of the final game. Infogrames' job in situations like these is to go after the people who are leaking or passing-along this version. They also need to suppress conversations about the leaked version on web forums to avoid pointing at it and tempting innocent people, who normally don't traffic in stolen software, to download it to find out what people are talking about. Their duty to their shareholders is to protect the value and marketability of their products to the fullest extent possible. They HAVE to do that, they're a public company and their shareholders would expect no less because Infogrames is invests a lot of money to bring games like UT2003 to the marketplace.

I wanted to address a few of related comments I saw on this forum.

Xp-erience.org have got their hands on the release notes and more screenshots from last nights UT 2003 leaked Demo! hit read more for the link!

I was just over @Thedigitalresource.com and guess what I saw a bucket load of screenshots and Info of last nights UT 2003 leaked Demo! Here's a byte from their article.

That's right, some dude leaked this thing on the net. It is currently floating around various FTP adresses. It's a 247 Mb download and there are still some bugs in it like invisible walls and textures that appear white sometimes. Also the models don't have proper skins yet. Though it's nice to test it, I suggest you wait for the official release which shouldn't take too long now.The demo doesn't support any resolution changes, though editing the ut2.ini file makes it possible anyway, along with some other options like high res textures and the controls, which aren't redefinable in the game menu itself. You can play 7 maps in the game (2 CTF, 3 DM and 2 DOM maps) And I must say they look incredible! lights, shadows, models, fog effect. Everything is looking good and there are a lot of little details.

Ok peeps - Yes it's TRUE. Some muppet has leaked the full UT2003 demo which is 238Mbyte and no we will not be posting links to it coz Rancho said he would kill me and by the look in his eyes I think he means it. LoL : (

Here's a word of warning from Ibelite.com Thank you for your bug report for this old, obsolete and PIRATED version of UT2003. We have recorded your IP address. Have a nice day.

The demo is also not working with Kyro II video board, which was the the reason for the bug report.

Update: After Degger just kicked Rancho in the nuts am able to get this out! Hehe

Just saw this @ Xp-erience.org

While the official release is imminent (I will post the official link when it appears), I have found a page that offers the 90 meg trial a little early.

This could be another first person shooter, my first impressions are that it looks like another pretty fine game, IGN said "It will stand out because it will be very realistic and fun at the same time, while looking stunningly good. Your mind won't be able to determine anymore whether you are out there or behind your computer. I think it will appear most to players of tactical realistic first person shooters, but we aim for a very broad audience at the same time."

I saw this @ Shacknews and here is a snippet. We actually screwed up at E3 -- we should have been running it at high quality settings (uncompressed textures, anisotropic filtering), but we were chasing some problems the first day, and it got set back to medium quality. The problems had gone away, so we left it that way, rather than risk changing it back. So the game looks even MORE beautiful @ high quality! Click on Read More... for a link to more information.

I saw this @ IGN.com and this is what they said:
