Will UT2003 come with a new version of the UnrealEd map editor?
Hell, yes! And with a new prefab system. As mentioned in several previews and interviews, UT2003 will definetly come with a new version of UnrealEd (2.x?). Furthermore in this video DE are showing off their new and easy-to-use prefab mapping system. Pancho Eeekels in http://ina-community.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=167974 : Nope, you don’t need any 3d app to make levels. As soon as you get your copy of UT2003 you can start making levels. Also, we plan to do some tutorials for you guys to add prefabs and whatnot to the game. I will do a Lightwave7 step by step tutorial from start to finish that I will put up on our website, around the time we ship.
