hey, I'm really in decision on whether or not I should buy Unreal Tournament 3. To start it off, I'm aware that they took out some of the good game modes like bombing run and onslaught and I'm alright with that, I mostly want just a classic online death match game to play. I just got a ATI HD3870 which ran best for this game. Just the game is $60, which I find is over priced for a pc game. Most pc games are $50, like cod4, world in conflict, supcom etc...

What I mainly want to know if this game is worth buying if I just want to play a deathmatch style game online and good graphics.

The game is 50 dollars. The version you are looking at is the Special Edition that comes in a tin.

About actually buying it...I dont have it, but I want it. I liked UT2k4, and people say they are very similiar, so I suppose if you like UT2k4 you will like UT3.

I have a copy of UT3 and to be honest with you, I regret buying it. The online community is tiny, really hard to find servers with people in them with decent pings. Don't me wrong here, I love the graphics, gameplay, etc.... but I did buy this game for online multiplayer and it just quite isn't big enough for my taste. Some might think otherwise but that's just my 2 cents.

They screwed up the AI with the 1.1 patch that fixed other things, now there's a 1.2 patch the AI is still wonky, imo. I would wait until they come out with some more patches and the price goes down. It would be a great game for lan parties though. Only uber players are online. Plus later on there will be a lot more user created content.

The above poster is right wait for a price drop + more patches, if you are a die hard UT fan I guess there is really no reason to not buy UT3, sure the MP community is small... the game itself is tones of fun (many good mods so far it Elite Weapons mod comes to mind) and of course many user creatd maps to download and so on. I have spent countless playing matches against the bots and have to yet to get bored it. I personally luv my UT3 copy. :D

It's a very good game and has good classic deathmatch if that's what you like. It would be nice if there were more servers available though. They kind of get divided with all the game modes.

Get it. UT3 is freakin amazing and once you set your 'favourite' servers you don't have to search very long to join a decent game. Mods are starting to get really good, too. You won't regret it.

If there are other games that you haven't played yet, you might want to get those instead. UT3 is just average.

Onslaught is still there, by the way. They just gave it a new name.

Not.

Check the stats. Where is UT3 on that list? Notice there are 2 other Unreal games above it.

Buy UT2K4 if you must, or just get a better game.

SKaREo mind your own there are plenty of servers 24h/7 it just proves you never played the game. BTW are you remotly a fan of arena shooters? Do you have any idea how much skill is required to compete at a higher level in UT? It's unique and stands above the ocean of generic idiot-filled modern shooters that conglomerate 80% of the recent offerings.

"Just get a better game" lol. Yeah, if he's a fan of CTF, TDM and 1vs1 he'd better get a better game... which one is it again?

The only thing that compares is 2k4... The author of the thread is a fan of the series, he's sure to remotly enjoy UT3.

Ehh, it's alright.. the main issues I have can easily be fixed by patches though, except for maybe the console-ized menu system.

yeah, I'm actually a pretty big fan of the series, spent a good amount of hours on 2k4, took a break for a year or two and now I'm feeling like coming back for more. And yeah, _7h0m_ is probably right, i got a good server browser, HLSW, so I could just find a couple nice 24/7 DM servers and be good to go. Hmm I think I'm gonna get it. I think I can put aside the fact that the online community isn't as big as I would want it to be, I don't care about AI because I'm not gonna bother with the single player. And there does seem to be alot of content coming out for this game, alot of new maps n such, so it should be awesome! I can't wait to get this game :D

Don't care about AI? Not going to bother with single-player?

Enjoy!

They fixed most of the AI problems in the patches.

what do u mean by that. if you wanna say u need a 3rd party server browser to find any servers cause the in game browser is crap then yes, you are right

btw i was a big fan of ut but ut3 is the lamest in series. better get ut2k4 if u dont have it already.
