Digg story (for comments)
Before the original thread linked in the digg story is modified in pure 1984 retroerasure style, here's a quote.

I'm sure many of you already seen the new UT3 360 trailer, but what most of you don't know is that one of the maps shown there ( DM-ArcticShipment ) is actually a user created map done by a member that goes by EpicJon on the Epic Forums.
The map, while not being exactly the same, is a blatant rip off, it's a cargo boat, in the middle of the Artic ocean, with snow falling and with icebergs on the background. When EpicJon posted about his discontent in the Epic Forums he got banned and his thread deleted.
You guys can see the map in action in this trailer:

here is a shot of the user created one:
And the thread for the map on Epic Forums:

I wonder if this is what Epic means by getting MODs on the 360 version, stealing them from users and putting them on XBL without any notification. While they're most likely allowed to do that legally it's a very low blow for the modding community. |
PS: does anyone know if the Metalmurphy in the thread the same as 'ours' ?
