Most of us that play Unreal Tournament 3 (UT3) do so because we get our ya-yas blasting total strangers into a fiery oblivion with the Necris DarkWalker. Or in my case, trying to see how long I can survive without having some form of death befall my virtual character. (In case you’re wondering, not long) But for Holland native Frederiek van Gammeren (aka Frantic), the UT3 launch party at Omega Sektor turned out to be a night to remember.

After all, it’s not every day you create a Guinness World Record for racking up 131 kills in half an hour. The first official UT3 tournament in Europe saw Epic’s Mark Rein, game journalists and top ranked UT3 players get together for a massive fragfest, as Stuart Remnant walked away with a high end SCAN PC and Frantic took the record for the most number of kills in a 30-minute UT3 deathmatch. At the event, Mark Rein confirmed the November 23rd European release date for the game, which comes as a sore issue for Xbox 360 owners, considering Epic has already announced that the Xbox 360 version of the game will be delayed to 2008 due to issues with the mods.

Hit the jump for pictures of the event, as I go and try to best my personal best of fragging 4 enemies before splattering all over the place.
