Unreal Tournament 3 "Titan Pack" Expansion Coming In March 67

An anonymous reader writes with news that Unreal Tournament 3 will be getting a free expansion called Titan Pack on March 5th. It will contain a variety of new maps, and two new game modes: Greed and Betrayal. There will also be new weapons, deployables, and achievements. IGN's preview of the expansion mentions a few more improvements, such as an improved voting system and client-side demo recording for the PC version. Quoting: "... the most obvious addition to the series is the new Titan. As you play through the game, killing enemies, completing goals and generally avoiding damage, you'll build up your Titan meter. Once it fills up, you can instantly mutate into a 15' tall Titan. The Titan has massive health, a decent shield belt and can fire homing rockets. Oh, and he can also pound the ground to knock back any enemies that get too close. In short, the Titan is a real game changer."

If they need to try to Idiot-proof a system take out the "Idiot". If these companies hire more technology inclined workers (people who read /.) they they won't have this problem as often.

Maybe, but then they'd have to deal with everyone putting goatse links all over the company newsletter and sending out gay porn featuring the CEO of the company, so there's a little bit of a downside too.

On the other hand, most Slashdotters never leave the basement, so you would save on office space.

Ensemble Studios' Canceled Project Was Halo MMO 118

simoniker writes "Following the recent announcement that Microsoft-owned Age Of Empires creator Ensemble Studios would close after the completion of Halo Wars, Gamasutra has discovered that a now-canceled Halo MMO was in development at the studio, unearthing prototype UI and level screenshots of the Ensemble-developed project. The prototype art, which was at one point made available on an Ensemble-linked online artist portfolio website, further confirms previous rumors that the studio was working on an MMO based on the Bungie-created sci-fi franchise." We discussed the future closing of Ensemble Studios a couple weeks ago. The set of pictures which seem to be screenshots and graphic models from the canceled Halo MMO has been posted on Flickr. In other Halo news, Bungie may be teasing the announcement of the next game on their website.

It's not being treated like an object. It's basic respect for the one you are with. I respect our (my wife and I) relationship, so I won't go out alone with a female. My wife respects our relationship, so she won't go out alone with a male. She won't get into trouble if she doesn't put herself in a situation that could lead to a problem and I won't do that to her either.
