BeyondUnreal - Covering Unreal Tournament 2004, Unreal Tournament 2007 & Gears of War
Description
First, a little history...
Way back in the summer of 1998, Unreal 1 was released. The Unreal-engine website scene was relatively new, and there were a large number of community-run sites doing a great job of imparting Unreal-engine files and information to the gaming public. Some we were particularly fond of, the original Org, Shadows, and Max's Unreal News, the venerable Unreal Nation, Unreal Kingdom, Demigod's Unreal map site and many, many more.
In the fall of 1998, PlanetUnreal, which was originally UNA out of Australia, featuring the likes of San, Arcane, Mia'cova and Mek, began to assemble a number of absolute Unrealaholics as their administration team. Yellow5, Stallion, QAPete, Alien8, Zaccix, Prophetus, Sparky, Hal, Rojazz and others began building what became the biggest Unreal-engine gaming site in the world. Traffic to the site increased seven-fold, and the boys even hosted the official Unreal Tournament Release Party live on the internet in November of 1999.
The Beginning of the End
In early 2000, PU lost the free use of CDROM.COM, which was GameSpy's main file mirror. The complaints flooded in, and there was nothing the admin team could do about it. Around the same time, GSI began implementing its plan for gaming domination, which included 'genre' sites like 3DActionPlanet, FilePlanet, ForumPlanet and, ultimately, Giant Ad Banners of Death and pay download servers. The PU team also lost the ability to run the site the way they saw fit. Numerous GSI ads and links were included on the site, and basically, PU turned away from being a community-run site to being a part of the corporation.
