A "complete" source leak for the first Unreal Engine 3 has been found. It contains some of the stuff shown at the engine's unveiling in 2004. It contains three .exes, DemoGame.exe (demo), WarGame.exe (Gears of War), and UTGame (UT3), each with their own content. WarGame appears to be empty, but the other two have content in them.2004-era Gears of Wars proto and very early Unreal Tournament

From what I can tell, the GoW code is really incomplete, but there are some interesting things, such as a player model, what appear to be two levels for single player (a grassy field and a ruined city, both found in the DemoGame content)), dodge and cover animations for the player, a broken Assault Rifle, coding for an unused Magnet Gun, coding for the Locus (known as the Geist back then). Unfortunately, it seems that the actual game can't compile correctly, leaving you with the GoW resources used in the demonstration game and the source code to look through. There's still a treasure cove of stuff in the source, so its not all lost. Based on the code, I'm pretty sure they were starting to shift from GoW being a FPS to a third-person game because there are a lot of references to things like cover, and DemoGame.exe runs in third person.

The Unreal Tournament "3" prototype is actually a bit further along than the GoW one because you can actually play it. The Insta-gib, Rocket Launcher, Shock Rifle, and Flak Cannon are in the game and are usable. The Shock Rifle has a completely different texture and model, but the RL and Flak seem similar to their UT2004 versions. There are a few extremly rough test levels, some of which correspond to UT1/2004 levels, while others are all new. There's also a strange-looking player model named "Sobek" that looks nothing like a model you'd see in UT2k4 or UT3. Its pretty much the definition of a pre-alpha.

A quick Google reveals a couple things of note. BetaArchive has some stuff on it (appears to be the original leak post, can someone confirm?). People seem to be calling the game "Unreal Warfare". If this is the "Unreal Warfare" game concept presented back then, we could have something interesting on our hands (incomplete single-player Unreal story on UE3 anyone?).

The betaarchive post is where I first learned about it. There's a normla download link, but the guy put a PW on the archive for some reason. I have a .RAR that doesn't need a password, but I'm not sure if the place I got it from will let me redistribute it, because they've managed to put a .txt file inside the passwordless .rar stating where it came from.

I have the files from them, but no access to the passwords or the PM system. If you could shoot me the password if you have access I'd appreciate it.

Sent a PM on Betaarchive to somebody that knows it. Should be getting the password soon.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
