I would say don't bother. Get orange box instead. I actually spent time on there. UT3 is great if you like mutli- fast paced shooting but the action is so fast paced if you're not hardcore into it you'll be dying a lot and you won't play much.

It did not sell very well. But as an hardcore ut player I'd say go get it. It's a great game with the latest patch and you will always find a server that fits your need, you just won't find dozens for every game type.

I found Unreal Tournament 3's visuals to be completely awesome. But honestly, I think The Orange Box is probably the better game, as far as gameplay is concerned (not to mention that it scales pretty well and performs better as a result, on my system at least).

I am unaware of server activity though.

Im sure UT3 is a great game, but is it a complete flop? It sure seems like it you hardly ever hear it mentioned. And nobody seems to stick up for it.

CoD 4 online is freking amazing, along with a very well rounded (but short) still fun SP.. I'd say go for CoD instead of UT

I enjoy playing the singleplayer as a time-waster. It's pretty damn good looking and really optimized.

You guys are missing the point. He wants a final confirmation on UT3, not other recommendations. I just got UT3 a couple days ago with every unreal game in that steam pack. It is interesting and ut2004 is a lot of fun. Unlike the other games people are mentioning, there is not a single game that matches the frantic pace/ unparalleled level of fps skill that comes from UT. You are looking at an old community that has twitch skills that make new kids cry. I am still getting the hang of it but you will get your ass handed to you. A lot. I recommend getting it if you can find it for cheap.

LOL you should have mentioned COD 4 from the start :). Go for COD 4 it is awesome in every way. UT3 is boring (not because i get owned) has an awkward feeling and has good graphics. I played UT3 for 6 or 7 hours max and that isn't in one day...nooo....it is in 6 days, if i wouldn't collect games and if UT3 wan't part of Unreal and the Unreal collection would be complete without it, i would give it for free to the first strager i see on th street :)it's that good. If you really want an UT game get the UT Anthology it has all the UT games, 2K3 not included + the soundrack from all the games.

Very very few play and most of the occupied servers seem to be outside NA. You can always get a game going with bots.

Hardly anyone plays it. Simple as that.

God knows why, it's put together pretty well.

It didn't seem worth the money to me when I tried it out. I could just get the same fast-paced action off a free game like Nexiuz or Warsow. Maybe if the price drops below $20, I'll snatch it. I just don't think it's worth full price.

To put it bluntly, it's not worth the full price. I got it for 30 bucks, which is now what it is on steam, I think. The reason I say it's not worth full price is because it is essentially UT2k4 minus a few gametypes and the same amount of maps on disc. Assault was one of my favorites, I was going to make an Assault-based gametype mod, but now I have to make it from scratch instead of borrowing from it.

Join the club. I finally founda couple servers where I fit in...and now have a good time.

Some of those die hard guys are just pathetic. You can't even get a shot off and 6 of them gang rape you.
