I've had issues with lag before online _but_ this was fixed by hosting my own games, or jumping on games with low pings. Once I figured that out I've had 0 issues with the game. It's fantastic if you like the twitch shooter vibe of an Unreal Tournament.
The patch fixed up most of the problem. Online is now quite good. I do get lag from time to time, but that is probably from my room mates stealing my bandwidth.
Theres lots of user created maps and mutators which add much enjoyment to the game. I've downloaded over 50 custom skins, maps, and mutators, (like a camera thats behind the back like Gears of war)
Just don't expect much for the single player, it is really more of a tutorial than a real story.
does the online still have a low population or has it risen a lot in the past few monthsULTIMATEZWARRIO
Well I've had 0 problems having games I've hosted fill up. Within 5 minutes of hosting a game I'd have the maximum amount of players connected, and it has been like that from day 1.
The game is pretty good. The mods add alot to it. Its feels alot like playing Q3 Arena it moves so fast. Its pretty fun. Just sucks it doesn't have splitscreen and co/op.
The game has the better Team Deathmatch and Capture The Flag modes of any fps allarround; the graphics are superb taking in account how fast is the game pace and the support to 16 players at time (Resistance supports up to 40, but the visuals are much worse; COD 4 is ok but with much smaller maps and no vehicles involved).
Also, the network is fine and let us to play with standard USB keyboard and mouse. Good visuals + k&m control + free downloable contents = very good game, UT III FTW!
UT3 is definetly worth the purchase if you have other games to play as well. It's not one you can play over and over and over, but in small doses the game is awesome. The mods especially make it fun. Some of them make it almost like playing a brand new game all over again. UT3 is a game that when your done with R6:Vegas, COD4, Resistance, etc.. you will always be able to go back to and have a fresh new experience..
The online matches are all based on ping, the lower the ping the better. so if your at 200 ping or more it starts getting lag so dont join those matches. If your a fan of the Unreal series you will love this game, if you dont care for fast paced fps action then maybe pass on this one.
