I just got the collectors edition the other day. I was fairly well acquainted with UT2004, and I find myself looking for a lot of the same 'features' in UT3. Some stuff that you guys may know, but that I don't, I'd like to ask about. If there's a thread that explains it, it became buried and I can't see it 
1) Team command keybindings. In most of the UT games, you could bind a key that would automatically order all your bots to either attack, defend, freelance or hold position, WITHOUT having to go through the 'voice menu' thing. I haven't seen any game menu choices to do that, so I presume you have to set it up in the CONFIG files. But I'm not sure which changes to make and such. That would be helpful.
2) Music menu. UT2004 had a neat little in-game music menu where you could point to MP3s on your hard drive and set up a playlist, giving you a choice of tunes during your matches. It was the "F11" key in UT2004. Does it exist in UT3 or was it removed and we no longer have choice?
3) I do 3d player models (and hope to start converting some of my UT2004 models over to UT3 soon). A handy feature in UT2004 was the 'behindview 1' console command, which still works in UT3. However, UT2004 had another command called 'freecamera 1'. Used in conjucntion with 'behindview', the freecamera command would let you rotate the camera from it's 3d perspective and let you look at your character from any angle. This was very useful in seeing how it looked in game. Is there a similar command in UT3?
4) A total list of custom keybinds would be nice too, including how to bind keys to give text commands to team mates and such.
Any info would be welcome. I've got the Unreal 3 editor 'how to DVD'. I don't know how much or how many of it's tutorials will teach users how to import custom character models. I hope it's a LOT. If not, are there any good tutoral sites? The UDN website is very hard to find UT3 tutorials that don't require a developer password...
