IMO, Unreal Tournament 3 is one of most underappreciated, underrated PS3 games out there. Its a shame more people don't play it.... its a freakin great game.

But its only selling for $20 on Amazon...... so a great oppurtunity to get a great game for cheap.

Here's details on the mega-patch:


Epic Games has been holding a press event this week to promote the upcoming Titan Pack for Unreal Tournament 3. Andrew Burnes of has been covering the event for Planet Unreal and is currently somewhere over the Atlantic, having spent the past three days at Epic HQ putting the new levels, gametypes, weapons, vehicles and deployables through their paces.

Today, Epic has made available the first screenshots and details of what's to come in the much-anticipated free bonus pack, which we can reveal will be coming to PC and PS3 on March 5th 2009.

Scroll down for screenshots and more goodies, including a PU-exclusive shot of the return of Darkmatch!

"Unreal Tournament 3: Titan Pack" is a major expansion to the award-winning "Unreal Tournament 3." The "Titan Pack" gives players a substantial amount of enhanced features and new content, including many original environments, new gametypes, the namesake Titan mutator, powerful deployables and weapons, new characters, and the Stealthbender vehicle.

Also included are sweeping enhancements to AI, networking performance, UI usability and mod support, plus the addition of 57 PS3 Trophies and Steam Achievements to make the UT3 experience even more satisfying. The "Titan Pack" also brings client-side demo recording, major Server Browser enhancements, a new maplist system, plus mid-game mutator and gametype voting functionality to the PC, while additional PS3 upgrades include split-screen support, mod browsing and Trophy support.

"Unreal Tournament 3: Titan Pack" includes:

* 16 environments - four Warfare, three vCTF, six Deathmatch, and three CTF maps - that are new to the PC and PS3 versions
* Three bonus pack maps, CTF-Face, CTF-Searchlight and DM-Morbias
* The namesake Titan mutator, which lets players overwhelm opponents as a 15 foot tall titan, or crush them as a 30 foot tall Behemoth
* Greed and Betrayal, two gametypes that breed new-found fervor throughout the competitive UT3 arena
* Two powerful weapons, the Stinger Turret and Eradicator Cannon artillery
* Two valuable deployables, the X-Ray Field and Link Station
* The Slow Field power-up, a portable version of the Slow Field deployable
* Stealthbender, a new vehicle that carries two spidermine trap deployables, one EMP mine, and one each of the new Link Station and X-Ray Field deployables
* Two new characters, Nova and Kana
* 57 awards attainable as Steam Achievements and PS3 Trophies
* Broad improvements for PC and PS3: Significant AI enhancements, especially in vehicle gametypes; networking performance upgrades; greatly improved menu flow and UI usability; better mod support
* Client-side demo recording, highly improved Server Browser, a new maplist system, plus mid-game mutator and gametype voting functionality for PC
* High demand PS3 features including PS3 Trophy support, two-player split-screen support, and mod browsing

Wow, that's really surprising given how poorly the game was received in retail. I would agree with you though and it's something I've been thinking about while playing other multiplayer shooters. On consoles, UT3 is probably the essence of skillful shooting. It incorporates good movement-skills coupled with the need for precise aiming, choosing the right weapon for the appropriate situation, knowledge of the map you're playing on and where the items are.

i would classify it as a twitch shooter... its almost as much luck as it is skill... although weapon choice and map familiarity goes for any shooter..

If it's as much luck as skill, why are some people much better at it than others? As for weapon choice and map familiarity, in something like Call of Duty you're mostly choosing among a set of machine guns, sniper rifles or shotguns and since many of these games limit you to 2 guns at a time, there's really not much to think about. In Unreal, you can carry all weapons at the same time, so if you see an enemy far of, you should obviously switch to a shock rifle or sniper where as closed-quarters favours a flak or to lesser extent a rocket launcher. Also, most other games don't offer respawnable items like health packs and armor and in Unreal or Quake, timing these respawns can be extremely helpful.

Wow what a pleasant suprise. I bought this back when blockbuster has their holiday b1g1f 14.99 and under used game sale. With my employee discount came out to about 6 bucks a game. I was suprised when this game got dualshock support. I vaugly remember epic saying they would not be patching the ps3 version anytime soon. This time i am glad they went back on their word!:D
