i've been noticing epic isnt releasing alot of info on this game, im just hoping it wont end up in the dark corner position with an awesome score like unreal championship 2 did.

epic made alot of money off gears, so should they also on unreal tournament 3.

gimme your opinion

Microsoft was the publisher, thats why there was a big advertising campaign

i think UT3 is being published by Midway (correct me if im wrong)

No. Everyone who wants to play UTIII is going to play it, and I don't want the casual players and the little kids clogging up the community. Besides, since it's going to be awesome, word of mouth of how good it is will go around soon enough and more people will buy it.

Yes Midway is publishing the game, and I think it will help UT3 out allot because it will be fighting Halo 3.

exactly, if it's advertised like GOW then you're going to get the same type of community.
they'll make a lot of money on UT3, dont worry.

UC2 was horrible. Most unreal fans were still playing UT2k4 when that game came out, so there's no wonder why it failed. However UT3 is going to be a true successor, so there's going to be tons of people playing regardless of advertising.

That being said I won't be getting this for the 360 anyways, there'll be no way to mod it on the console and the mods are the majority of the fun.

even after the great success of Gears, I don't think they even need to bend over backwards to sell gamers on UT3. Thefranchise already has its own following who is nothing but stoked about a new version, while Gears was totally fresh and new, so everything will work itself out.

Yeah, and you know they'll be nothing like what the PC gets. I had 10gb worth of mods/maps/skins for UT2k4 until my hard drive died. Epic will probably release their standard map packs and that'll probably be it. I can't see anyone actually paying for anything other than maps.
