You might want to try out the demo first. I don't own the full game, but I heard that the community is somewhat small.

They took out assault mode, which was one of the big draws UT2K4 had (they took it out of UT2K3 and everybody flipped out, it's beyond me as to why they took it out again). But for a couple extra bucks you can get a physical copy from Amazon's resellers.

If you're not that into modding, I'd say try the demo first, but if you are, full access to the toolset for ~30$ is a pretty sweet deal.
That's the only reason I bought it, anyway.

Yea if you haven't played any of the UT games before, you should be able to have a blast with UT3. I played UT04 extensively, and 30 minutes into UT3 and I felt like I've been through all this a million times before. I really didn't like the game.

You should try the demo first. Some people like it and some people don't. You have to see for yourself if you are going to enjoy it or not.

Get the demo, and if you like it, buy it. No point in wasting your money if you don't like it.

The community is very small, so I don't think that the modding will get to 2k4 level.

And the modding is the only thing that can save this trainwreck.

You know there's something horribly wrong when a game that sold over a million copies has only a few thousand players.

^^^^ it's hard to get into, it takes skills (and time) to master every maps and weapons.

I'm a huge fan of UT, I've played UT2k4 for 1500 hours. I can safely say that I prefer the feel of UT3 even if I was a defender of the movements from 2k3 and 2k4. UT3 is great, the only major problem is the size of the community... while you can find a game for every mode any given moment of the day/night, it's still limited. I would recommend to download the demo and see if you like it.

I really hope you do get the game and convince other people to buy it, we need fresh blood to squash ;)

Maybe you played GoW ?

You should feel right at home, UT3 is a great game. ;)

Never really played any UT games before huh?? Well, I would say in that case you might want to start off with UT2K4. That's easily the best in the series. Now, I for one liked UT3, but still think it falls short on what it could have and should have been.
