I picked up the game a few days ago and no one seems to be playing online. Why is this?

dud! read B4 buy!
WOW, powned, you should have read "Im thinking of buying this game... " thread first, many of us ALREADY talked about this topic. (can you return that defective UT3?) Go and read it, it's informative, and perhaps you'll learn that PC gaming is WAY better than boX gaming.Comment

Not strictly true, but it certainly is with regards to UT3Originally posted by Punichan View Post

OK. In your opinion PC gaming is better that XBOX gaming, and hundreds of thousands of people will agree with this. In my opinion XBOX gaming is far superior to PC gaming, and once again hundreds of thousand of people will agree with this. To send a reply, which is shockingly childish and completely bias to the state of gaming as a whole is just plain ignorant. Before you post another reply on someone else's topic, learn how to construct and present a piece of written English.Originally posted by Punichan View Post
BTW I picked it up for £2.99 from my local Gamestation.Comment

Good to hear you didn't spend too much on it if you end up regretting the purchase.
Unfortunately, it is true that this particular game does not shine on the Xbox 360. Microsoft does not want to deal with custom content being spread over Xbox Live which leaves any game that thrives on free user-created content (like UT3) to be better played on any other platform, most notably the PC.Comment

Also the xbox version does not allow for mods and custom user made content (blame microsoft for this).
On top of all this unreal3 was released in what? 2008? A lot of people have moved onto other games (or on PC gone back to previous UT games).Comment

PC Gaming is far superior to console gaming in the areas of online multiplayer, custom content, FPS, RTS, and MMORPG. PC gaming is about freedom--the freedom to create and to download and install custom maps and mods. You just can't do that very well with a console and some console companies want to (laugh) charge people money to play online and control all of the game's content.Originally posted by saveuswesker View Post
PC Gaming also allows players to integrate their gaming experience with other aspects of gaming, such as organizing clan matches on XFire or Internet Relay Chat (IRC), using discussion forums, using sophisticated voice comm programs (such as Teamspeak and Ventrilo).
There must have been over 10,000 custom maps and mods were released for the original Unreal Tournament.
Now consider another game, Neverwinter Nights. Because of customization, this game took on a huge life of its own with enthusiasts creating persistent world servers (that could accommodate 75 players at a time) and mods that may have been unimaginable to the original developers. In contrast, look at the consolized game Dragon Age--no online multiplayer at all. (I suspect that the influence of consolization killed online multiplayer for Dragon Age.)Comment

People are playing consoles more now because its easy to aim in shooters, they are alot cheaper than gaming computers, and easier to use.
PC Gaming is superior in gaming, for shooters and esp Strategy games(RTS). Consoles are weak in custom content...and 97 percent of all pc games that support custom content, is unlimited and FREE!!! Consoles you have to pay 10 dollars or even 20 dollars for 3-5 maps, which is a compete ripoff. I can understand expansion packs being paid for, but little things like 5 maps is a waste of cash.
And PC gaming is more organized. Did I mention its 10 times more competitive than console Competition?Comment
