Under-rated Tournament 3: [56k]

Yes, Unreal Tournament 3, a massively fun and incredibly fast shooter with great visuals and an excellently optimized engine. Yet nobody talks about. Quietly released last year around this time, the long time await game was released, though it seems it's tech demo turned full game brother has caught most of the attention, people tend to overlook what UT3 is. Now released on all major platforms (sorry wii), I was hoping to pump some new interest into the game.
New graphics cards push the game to unbelieveably incredible amounts of eye candy as can be seen from these screens. I play the game at 1680x1050, no AA, Motion Blur, and full graphics settings. I have a hard time getting it to stutter on my 280GTX. Of course, graphics don't make the game, and while the mutiplayer is somewhat dull compared to GoW, the multiplayer is just unbelievably massive amounts of fun. While it can be easy to get into, there is a huge possibility for honing your skills. Nothing says "I am better than you" than constantly whipping your friends effortlessly in an online shooting cluster-fuck.
And of course the game has it's awesome mods. Some of which tweak weapons to crazy hyper fucking settings, others add fun ass new levels, awesome looking characters, or even adding in an RPG of sorts in which you can level up and spend points for bonuses.
Then there is also the fact that the game is fucking dirt cheap.
PC: $20
PS3: $20
360: $40 (came out earlier this year, which is why it still has not dropped down too much.)
Want more eye candy?
Well see about organizing a game on. I tried before but it seemed that many people were divided up amongst the platforms. What do you guys think about UT3?

Oh my dear lord zombie kittens that is fantastic. haaaaahaaa
Well, it is $20...
Plus there are a shit ton of awesome mods. The game is a bit different in some respects but the entire thing is one huge improvement....
I just wish they would make Unreal 3... Not the tournament but the actual shooting game.
I'd love to play with some of you people, my name on there is the same as my Live tag.
But, for only $20 ...
This one broke my heart
Whats the word on the mods? Anything that must be checked out?
Final Fantasy XI -> Carbuncle - Samash
I get off of work in an hour and a half, I'll get back to you on it
Ah man, gotta love Unreal tournament. I heard that the bots in 3 aren't as good as classic or 2k4 though?
On a completely off-topic note though,
Hahahaha, what?
Just pick it up, for $20, I doubt you will complain.
Fuck yes! They had a $1M competition for making cool mods called "Make something Unreal". There is a listing at Makesomethingunreal.com I think. Just check out what seems interesting, download, read the readme, and enjoy.
Guys, I'm telling you, go out there and check out some of these awesome player made maps. There is even a community map pack and servers that run that shit.
As for UT3 on the PS3, I played the hell out of it...
Loss of assault was a deal-breaker for me. YES LAUGH AT ME. But DAMN I loved me some assault.
UT3 is fucking awesome. I'm not an FPS connoisseur or anything, but this was exactly what I was looking for: Brainless, arcadey, fast-paced killing. It feels eerily similar to the original UT with a Gears of War skin over it, and that's all I could ask for.
There was a number of mods IIRC. Just search the forums, they have all sorts of crazy game type mods.
Sorry, a bit of a necro post, but checking out the unreal forums is crazy. There are literally mods for every square inch of the game.
Nothing's forgotten, nothing is ever forgotten
I'm building a new computer very soon as I just ordered some parts (yay i7 920 cpu!) and I'll reinstall on that
The one thing they need to do is get the U4E team to put there weapon and class based mods on this. The Quantum Singularity Generator was the mother fucking best weapon
I'm glad a thread was made but tbh it is too late for UT3 for whatever reason. Apparently a new expansion is due but meh I'm quite happy with it as it is. I don't really understand what the big deal is, i find it miles better than ut99 and ut2k4 (and I played both, albeit not a hardcore fan).
I'm just enjoying the mods and some single player botting action. Although, for the last week or so, online has picked up on a few servers.
It is one of the few games that I don't uninstall after a month of playing (along with tf2 and cod4).
Edit: Thanks shitloads for the Elitemachines mutator - so damn fun. Also, any recommendations on announcer replacement voices?
