GameSpy and GameSpot have both thrown up previews on Epic's upcoming first person shooter, Unreal Tournament 2004, after getting a chance to check it out hands-on at Atari Editors' Day. Here's a blurb from GameSpy's:

One of the most memorable maps from the original Unreal Tournament was the moving train assault, and a spiritual sequel has been created in the form of a new map called "Convoy." The map is in every way bigger than its predecessor, featuring two huge trains running side by side, requiring the attacking team to jump trains, break through a series of obstacles and offload a series of missiles to the convoy. Instead of the old simple skymap, a highly detailed (and scenic) valley sets the stage for the action. Fixed turrets are available to help defenders, and jump pads allow quick access from one train to the other. Bleszinski also demonstrated a shortcut where players can make a death-defying leap off one train to one of the convoy vehicles, using it as a stepping stone to the other train.
