As of today, UnrealSP.Org has been serving the Unreal community for no less than seven years! Since the site first opened in June 2001, the Unreal single player community seems to have gone from strength to strength. I would like to think that the continued availablility of this site and forum community has in part allowed that to happen.
Site updates may be fewer and further between nowadays than they were a couple of years ago, but then there is generally less news these days, with most of the community's energies channeled into a small number of larger mapping and modding projects. The anticipation of these major releases is probably what allows the community to survive.
We haven't, however, been completely idle in the run-up to our seventh anniversary, as today I am pleased to announce the opening of a new site section. UBerserker's detailed descriptive walkthrough of the Unreal 1997/8 Beta, first undertaken on the old forums last year, now has a new home in an edited and polished final form in the new Beta Guide section of the site. The Beta Guide is a major undertaking and the new section remains 'Under Construction' at the present time, containing descriptions of about half the maps, but more will be added gradually over the coming weeks and months.
If you would like to mark the occasion of our seventh anniversary, or alternatively that of the Summer Solstice here in the UK, which also happens to be today, click on the 'Comment' link below to access the anniversary forum thread.

I really am waiting for what will be offered, and no matter what comes, I will never leave Unreal from my memory as a FPS. I didn't forget about USP.org, I just don't have much to contribute besides the very occasional constructive criticism, as I tried UnrealEd but unfortunately everything I did ended as epic fail.
I hope that this anniversary can be commemorated by at least one release this year, or at least the fixed gameplay version of Project Zephon(maybe I didn't notice it as it is a quite long time since I last visited these forums). BfNP, TCO and Amnesiac are definitively in my "waiting for" list. Good luck. It's actually quite interesting to see how this community survived all these years.
Now, how do I say...

TCO and Firestorm seem like sure bets for '08. Maybe RD too (we're really really trying).
