So how is UT3 these days?

[IzaFly]

Alright guys. Still a shame, but I'll keep the 2k4 heart pumping and I'll keep starring at the UT3 SE tin box I have as a cool what it could have been token to my gaming history. In the mean time, we all can certainly hope for a UT4 that will fix everything, right?

[Ga-Reef]

Even on their worst day UT3 vehicles could kick UT2k4's vehicles' butts! I'm still waiting for someone to make UT3 vs. UT2k4 Mod so we can settle this once and for all. D=<
Bring it!

of course they would because they are either overpowered or silent in UT3

God what's with the UT3 bashing?

God what's with the UT3 bashing?

Have you played it? If so you'd understand


I have 3 copies of UT2004 (bought the second and third as I felt Epic were due some more cash for all the enjoyment I was getting from it), and 2 copies of UT3 (bought in hope that UT3 would be better than UT2004, as a thank-you for ut2004 but in the understanding that it might not be)

I still play more ut2004 than any other game.

I have no pirated games, but do understand the justification that people use "to check out" a game before buying. I've bought games which had had rave reviews but were rubbish. I felt cheated.

I own the game and play it regularly. It's not a bad game at all. I just find it disgusting how people continually over-exaggerate their hatred for the game merely because it isn't a carbon copy of their beloved UT2004.

It's like with Final Fantasy XIII. It's not a bad game but the group of people who are dissatisfied with it are very vocal and generally convey absurd statements about it (i.e.: "worst game ever made!!", "this game causes cancer!!").

Also, I find it a bit irrational to purchase multiple copies of the same game (for the same platform) unless you give away those extra copies to your friends.

Kaotrix, if you saw the condition UT3 was in when it was released back in November 2007, it might be easier to understand. When it was released you couldn't even add favorites to the server browser! It felt like an unpolished and half-finished buggy beta that was rushed by market in time for Christmas. (Ironically, this was an awful thing to do--to release a substandard product when there would be direct competition from other excellent titles such as COD4, The Orange Box, and Crysis.)

People are angry because they feel that Epic essentially killed the UT franchise by releasing what was, in essence, a heavily consolized version for the PC. Aside from problems with the user interface, server browser, and file structure, UT3's game play had its own problems. The basic game play and feel itself isn't bad, but it is inferior to that of UT99 and UT 2004 in various ways. (For example, the vehicles in UT 2004 are much better than those in UT3 and when it was released you couldn't reload almost empty guns by using the throw weapon command.) Whenever I load it up I am left thinking to myself, "What a shame."

I didn't realise it was released like that , now I at least understand a bit more now ...... regardless of all that , it's still awesome to play.

I love it , wish I started playing this game earlier
