"I want to edit the OP, but when I press the edit/del button it doesn't show the post but the textbox is empty, how come?"
No clue. Should work just fine.

Wasn't there already an official thread?
I misread something about this game a month or two ago and though the single player was the real sequel to Unreal 1 and expansion...
Not to be I guess (sigh).!!
Looks interesting anyway, always enjoyed the tournament games.
The demo should show how the game will run on your PC? All I really need to know...

The game runs superb on just about anything. And if you have high-ish end system (anywhere from an 8800GTS + Core 2 duo up), you'll get 60fps at 1900x1200 max settings flawlessly. CPU does seem to play a large role. If you've got a single core AMD or something, it's still very (very playable) on the lower end of settings and still looks decent. It scales pretty well.
For lower end systems, you absolutely HAVE to turn screen percentage up to 100% for the game not to look like utter shit, though. Most people are confused by this, it's at 100% for most systems except those on the lower end. If you're already running at 1024x768, screen percentage at 50% actually changes the resolution to 512x384 and scales it up to fill your screen, thus looking like COMPLETE GARBAGE.
"The demo should show how the game will run on your PC? All I really need to know..."
Yeah, it's an accurate representation of final performance. Some of the maps are more or less intensive than others, but marginally.

I posted a new topic, including the UE3.0 Wii story, before realizing that the Wii part was already under discussion, so i'm leaving the thread to die and posting the rest in here instead 
Kikizo interviewed Rein and he talks about the PS3 version, the 360 version, mods for both systems and getting the engine to run on lower end PC graphics cards. It's an interesting read.

44?48 something like that. Over 40. 12 DM maps, 6 CTF, 6 vCTF (They don't share maps), and something like 12 different warfare maps, but with a second theme so "technically" 24 of those.

Is there any media of the PS3 version yet?

Hopefully their work on Gears will be enough leverage to get this option on the 360 version. It would be a big help if this UT3 sold well on the PS3. If it bombs MS could say the IP is not worth the trouble of opening up their online platform, even if that was something they touted during the 360 launch.

"Hey Teknopathetic, what would be your favorite or what you consider the best top 5 maps for TDM?"
Ehhhh, Deck (obviously), maybe RisingSun, Defiance, Gateway, and CarbonFire.

*Massive* first patch notes. Some big leaps and bounds for the shit UI and server browser.
What I feel are most important:
- Added ping and connect time to scoreboard.
- Friends messages now saved until explicitly deleted.
- Finer control over mouse sensitivity, using an edit box instead of a
slider.
- Added framerate smoothing and FOV options to the advanced video menu.
- Implemented "Server History" tab page in server browser, with ability to
"lock" favorites on that page.
- Added 'Join as spectator' feature.
- Added filter option for dedicated servers.
- Fixed scaling of certain player meshes (increased in size some human and
robot meshes). Addresses meshes being smaller than collision box, as well as
eyeheight issues.
- Implemented STUN support (Simple Traversal of UDP Through Network Address
Translators) to enable clients and servers to connect from behind a NAT.
- Removed annoying confirmation menu when starting a game.
- Removed unnecessary top settings page (can use tabs at the top of the
settings to navigate).
"Tre, you say the game scales well, but how well would it scale to my dinosaur? (P4 2.4, 1gb ram, 6600GT)"
That's...rough. Try the demo. All settings on low, 1024x768, screen percentage 100%. I played for awhile on a 3700+ AMD64, 2GB of ram, and a 9800 Pro with World detail on 1 and texture detail on 2 and it was playable, however that was only because I was waiting on my 8800GT to come in. If upgrading's not an option and you do want significantly better graphics/performance, the inferior version may be your only choice.

i haven't tried it yet, but could ut3 be playable in minimum settings @ a intel gma x3100?

I was getting around 50fps on an AMD 3500+/x1950GT at 1360x768, and it never dropped below 30fps at any point. It's not as GPU dependent as F.E.A.R but it's close.Teknopathetic said:
That said, nothing in the demo made me want to immediately go out and buy a copy of UT3. If you didn't care for UT2k3/4 then you aren't going to go nuts over this game either. Personally, I think they should have brought bombing run back and fully incorporated it into Warfare. They're already halfway there, with the node carriers. That would have been much more exciting than a vanilla DM demo.

I'm not sure why they put 2 DM maps and a vCTF map in. vCTF is always, always a sideshow. 1 DM map (preferably non-Heatray. I know WHY they chose this map, but still), 1 vanilla CTF map, 1 Warfare map. That would've given a taste of everything that UT3 has, sans vCTF.
"If you didn't care for UT2k3/4 then you aren't going to go nuts over this game either"
Absolutely. If you're not a UT fan, a game that is essentially a mix of the best from the previous games is definitely not gonna change your mind.

Funny, I played that version, the PC version, on my couch in 1080p last night, without downgraded graphics. :lol

I just got the game yay(!) but my videocard sux too much and its unplayble for me
Everything on "low" and it runs fine, but I can't see anything. Hope I get my new card soon. So if you mean the lowest resolution the game its not playable. But if you mean min system specs I dont know.

I'm installing the demo right now to check it out.
1024 and all @ low is just fine for me on my notebook. I just want to play against my brother and sister at home, where I have nothing but this notebook

YES! THANKS GOD! I HEART YOU EPIC! That was my one HUGE complaint from the beta, and they were very mum about it on the boards. Glad to see it's getting fixed.

That would be the ever classic FacingWorlds which is actually absent in the maplist. That said, even the UT2K4 version FaceClassic, was fan made, so the likelihood of another fanmade remake authentic to the original is fairly high.

The lack of PS3 Cover in the Godlike thread disturbs me
I almost can't believe this is less than a month away for PS3 owners.
X-mass won't be to boring this year for me, family will be out west in B.C. & my g/f will be in Europe visiting family, so it'll be just me & my PS3 with UT3 battles! (Oh and my sisters dog snoops will be with me) :lol

I got it and didn't expect it all. When they guy brought out two game cases, I wanted to say I was only picking up one game today. Doubt I'll ever install the disc but oh well, can't complain about free stuff.
