I recommend all players take a look at this tutorial. This is not just for 1v1 and not just for DM. Read the text and watch the tutorial vids.
This is really good stuff to know for all game types and will help make you a better player.

Welcome to the community. Some gameplay tips for great start ..

You can learn alot by watching these guys play. Learn how they move, their tactics, and skills. See what is possible. These are almost like tutorials.

Thanks to LLonewolf for posting the thread and thanks to all the players who recorded these matches.

It's better to post this as a blog or web page or sticky thread. This thread is going to get buried into the 10th page soon and lots of info will be lost.

[Flak]

Sticky it is! Thank you so much Kawman for putting this together. Great work!

Great that there is 'finaly' a sticky to make up for the lack of a strategy and tactics, or beginers forum like the one in the 2K4 forums. I'll be making another guide soon, and try to link in as much stuff as i can find. Hope u continue to update the 1st thread oldkawman, and hopefully turn this into a really comprehensive resource. Good stuff.

I recorded a video about taking the damage amp in DM-Deck through wall dodge jumping http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzwvQORpRrs (all is said in the vid description).

In short the first three jumps are just for filling the count to ten. The last three jumps are kind of discovered by myself because I haven't seen anybody doing them before. Anyway, this is my little contribution to the community. Hope you enjoy it and take care!

[oldkawman1]

I updated the first post. A big thank you goes to rek and Benfica for the additional links.

An old ps3 player here. I recently upgraded my pc and wanted to try the game on pc. I suck azz with a kb and mouse. Is there a freaking tutorial for how to transfer your game from ps3 controler to to kb? I'll also accept tips. Seriously. I don't think I got a single kill in any of the 3 games I joined. On the positive side I figured out how to run Swith weapons and switch to the hover board.

You need a good mouse and mid-low sensivity.
Edit utweapons.ini and use
[UTGame.UTWeapon]
CrosshairColor=(R=255,G=0,B=255,A=255)
Gives you a very visible pink crosshair. Cyan works well too.

Switch weapons using the keys, the mouse-wheel will get you nowhere.
Lower dodge sensivity, so it becomes easier

I dont remember more atm, sorry

nice, thanks for the tips!

I think so

[Hades no1Minion]

I never played UT3 online. Didn't have Xbox Live at the time. Does it still have a good population? I'm thinking of giving it a go pretty soon.

Thanks for the guides too. I'll know exactly how good I am at the game when I jump into online mp for the first time.

Very important tip: calling hax on everyone makes you look like nub.

[Izan4gi]

trololol

I learned online something like 200 times what i learned playing offline.

[BoofBoof]

My biggest tip is rework your weapon preference order tier to match what you are best with and do best with... Mine has always had Flak at the top because i dominate with it
