   Great news!! Also the fact that it is coming to the 360 is really no surprise when you consider how well Gears has been and continues to be received. I am glad to see them getting rid of the yearly madden like naming convention and going with something that is tied to the engine. I know that since it won’t be out until the second half of 2007 it is going to be killer … man talk about a great Holiday Season for 360 owners … Halo 3 AND UT3 … man now that is just friggin awesome. Not to mention the other great titles that will be available. But nothing beats out UT3 for me. Also that gives me more time to upgrade my PC … now I really don’t need to rush because the one game that was really driving me to upgrade was UT3.

   It’d be a lot more fun if you could play online together with PC, PS3 and 360 users…

   You can be sure they’ll at least put a few new weapons in there, they’re aware about the weapons issue. We’ll get vehicles as well

   Unless you can consistently beat PERFECT bots on Godlike (All stats at maximum … especially the Juggernauts when you have The Strategy Guide Species Stats enabled which gives when 190 health and you play as an Anuban with only 85 health) you can’t even think about saying you are really all that good. Plus instagib is cheap … play with real weapons and see if you don’t get owned. Few people are better than me in UT2K4 … not in DM not in TDM not in CTF and definitely not in ONS. I’ve been playing faithfully since UT2K3 and my skills are pretty elite.

   Also the online co-op mode is for the SP campaign … this time around the campaign is way more fleshed out and before you could not play the campaign online … now you can which is going to make that aspect of the game really fun as well. This is the one game I do sometimes play online … well I did a few times anyway and this will make me do so again. I am really curious how the co-op aspect is going to work in a twitch shooter like UT3.

   Instagib is for those who are too cowardly to face regular weapons and players that don’t really on one hit kills. I loathe Instagib and will never see it as a true test of someones skills. But that is just me. Anytime you really want to see how good you are play with just the standard weapons and if you are even half as good as you claim you should be able to win even easier. But I don’t think so. Me and my minigun and my lightning gun will more than handle you. And perfect bots on Godlike are waay harder than just choosing any of the bots that come with the game. Up the stats as high as they can be for Tactics, Accurancy, Agility and Aggressiveness and you won’t be saying that stuff about bots being easy. Especially with no instagib. But again this is just my opinion about Instagib. I think it blows. But if that is all you can play then I guess we will never meet. Maybe you don’t want to get UT3 because you are don’t want to get owned. But whatever the reason it doesn’t matter to me because I will definitely be one of the first to have this great game. And there are plenty of new vehicles and the weapons are actually different … there is no LG for example and the RL handles differently as well as the Flak cannon is now strictly for short range combat … the AI is improved … all kinds of great stuff. Anyway do what you want I really don’t care but stop saying how awesome you are if you can’t play the game the way it was meant to be played … without Instagib.

   Monarky:

   You will be very glad to hear that the PS3 version of UT3 comes with support for mouse andkeyboard via USB.

   “For all you PC gamers that are doubting that you’re computers will be able to hold up against the awesome specs of Unreal Tournament 3 will be pleasantly surprised… if they have a PS3. Epic have reportedly announced that the PS3 version of its upcoming mulitplayer FPS will indeed support mouse-and-keyboard via USB. Many feel that using a controller for the fast-paced nature of UT puts the player at an immediate disadvantage, something that Epic has been quick to address.”

   Maybe they will do it for the 360 version but who knows. This is definitely going to help sell some PS3s. But I will still be getting mine soley for the PC.
