[Sterile_D]

Thanks Sterile_D

PC version has been patched more and is far more polished, it's faster, and it has more support for mods

PS3 version is a very faithful port, still rather buggy, slower movement speed, some mods aren't/can't be cooked for it and nobody plays custom maps online

If you have a choice get the PC version, if you don't the PS3 version is a good alternative

I would strongly advise downloading the PC Demo to make sure your PC is up to the task.

Yeah if yo got a PC that can handle it then its PC hands down. If yo have an entry level dell then you might wanna get the ps3 version.

The PC and PS3 versions have quite a few differances
PC Features:

• Has the Unreal Editor and is capable of making mods(THe MSUC will make many quality mods for sure and not all will be able to play on the ps3)
• Has a larger selections of mods and additional content
• Capable of 64 player online
• Now able to have web admin, compression and redirect(only took 2 patches...)

PS3 Features:

• Mouse and Keyboard support*
• Easy setup
• Runs UT3 smooth at 1280x720
• 12 player online

Differances:

• PS3: Cannot double tap to dodge like in the PC versions, even with Mouse and KB
• PS3: has aim assist
• PS3: cannot crouch, will autocrouch if needed by map restrictions
• Unlike what was claimed in early talks, servers for PS3 cannot be hosted on PC
• PS3 version is slower
• PC: while being a highly scalable engine some setups require tweaking to run stable and smooth

* Mouse & KB limitations on PS3:

• Cannot bind mouse buttons past the standard three
• while some keys are bindable its still not fully configuable
• Aim assist it still on even with mouse
• No way to disable/ configure mouse acceleration

If you have played the earlyer games and are a fan of fast action shooters like Quake and UT get the PC version
If halo feels fast to you and this is the first UT your buying and you already have PS3....Get the PS3 version

As far as the PS3 game speed is concerned, there is a mod enabling it to run 20% faster than the PC version and it can handle faster.

If you got the cash for a top of the range PC, then get it for that. If ot, get it for the PS3. Alternatively, do what many of us have done and purchased both versions (Collectors Edition for PC).

Great advice there RoadKillGrill.

I would strongly advise going for the PC version if you can.

The 12 max for Multiplayer on ps3 is not true. It should Be 16.

Though its a bit of a ping problem on ps3 at the moment, Midways servers are giving like 150-200 in ping at the moment. Though other servers handle 16 players with 50 ping. So I think that will be fixed soon.

But I agree, the pc version is better more players better servers etc. better community.

Just hope we can get some kind on community on the ps3.

PC version is definitely the superior version at the moment, but you really can't go wrong either way. Just make sure your system is up to snuff before throwing down the dollars on it. It can be something of a resource hog.
