Anyone else notice this?

Nah actually what we're doing is simply de-emphasizing some of the crazy jumping around stuff that you could only really justify doing if you could turn 180 degrees almost instantly like you can with a mouse. So yeah, we're removing a little bit of the crazy mobility that got added with 2003 and 2004 and going back to the core of the original UT which we think will actually mesh better with controllers.

???

Glad to see they're dumbing down the controls to make this a consol port! O.o

IGN: Lastly, we were just curious about your thoughts about whether you'll be going the way of Bethesda and charging for downloadable content or if you'll stick with your history and give it away for free?

Mark Rein: We've built our reputation on giving content away for free and giving back to our customers and keeping them coming back and playing and I don't see us changing that anytime soon.

Yay! Screw Bethesda and EA for charging for trivially small bits of content!

well, the jumping thing is surely an issue that deserved to be looked at (I loved to frenetically jump around, on the other hand I understand it's frustrating to try to hit someone who's doing it...), but it's odd that they only noticed while trying to (overly?) adjust the game to console controls...

More to the point, we have to consider how much fun a game is going to be if there's forty guys in a game and you have a controller in your hand instead of a mouse and keyboard. It's just the gameplay considerations we have to think about. Some games are at their best with four players and some are at their best with forty players. It's hard to say where we'd end up but it probably won't end up being a hundred person game because it's just too fast.

So is there anyone out there making a good multiplayer PC focused game that doesn't have to change to be controller friendly?
