First of all UT3 is great imo, but there are too many bugs and issues that I can't overlook.
What I didn't like about UT3:
1) Canadians like me didn't get a printed manual it seems.
2) Campaign is seriously bugged, it crashed during the opening cinematic, and when I changed the .ini so it stops crashing, it stutters during the movie (this is not a hardware issue) then it crashes while loading the first map.
3) Multiplayer is bugged. I get disconnected, and logged out almost every map I play, and I CTD once (for 2.5hrs of playtime, 1 CTD is a lot). This may be a firewall issue, but since I have no idea what ports UT3 uses, I can't fix it.
4) Why have so many things from games like UT2k4 been discarded? Specifically Assault mode.
So, I am stuck playing instant action until the next patch comes out. This is by no means a bad review, you have done a lot of positive things with the game, including no copy protection and a Linux client in the future, if only more games would follow your lead with those 2 things. Hopefully Epic can get a patch out quickly, although I would have thought it wouldn't be this buggy at release. I'm probably just paranoid, but my DVD label was UT3_RC7, I hope I didn't get a beta RC build or something.
