AFAIK voice chat is still broken, and from the looks of it, it may never be fixed
I don't think we have even gottin word that Epic thinks there is an issue so I would asume they think its fine...
This really really pisses me off but I guess if you want good voice chat you will have to wait for the 360 version or go PC with Teamspeak

I'm not speaking, actually. I can't hear anyone. I might have it muted. Should it play through my TV speaker?SpudBud said:

This made me laugh.
A caller to All Games Interactive the other day was talking about the issues he's facing with UTIII's voice chat. He said what he and his friends did to remedy this was they all logged onto CoD4 on Xbox Live and used the lobby chat there to talk as they played UTIII on PS3.
I just found that hilarious.

I just bout UT3 on Friday (absolutely amazing game!) and have had a lot of fun with it.
Just a few minutes ago, though, I was "forcibly removed" from a round of deathmatch that I was playing. I was up by about 4 kills on the host of the server.
Do people do stuff like this often?
I think I'm going to start playing with GAF instead. My PSN name is bearcatjosh if anyone is interested.

Good game, gents.
When hosting a game we should probably be making them mouse-ok in general. I went for a few games with fabcam but there was no mouse allowed and I'm pretty clumsey with a controller.
The Voice chat does work! Tips:
-In Settongs>audio there is an option to Mute Voice. I personally find this confusing. I can remember where I have it set right now but I'll be back with that info.
- On the friends list there is a checkmark under "voice". Im not sure what the mark actually means though.
- In Settings>audio turn up the voice volume and perhaps turn down the rest a bit.
- From the settings tab in the XMB (out of game) go to accessories and audio device for a mic test. Set the level and you can even set the voices to come out of your stgandard sound channel. That means non-mic users can hear stuff.
-Settings>input>press triangle for "controller". There is a function for "Toggle speaking". THIS IS NOT A "TOGGLE". This is a "PUSH TO TALK". Configure it somewhere you can reach.

Okay the option "mute voice" should be set to off. I know that probably obvious to some of you but it sure wasn't to me.
Also. Turn "auto taunt" off. Maybe thise will stop that incredibly obnoxious non-stop taunting at the end of every match.
Also something confusing: the control "show map" will actually lay down visual pathfinding for you in objective based maps. I find it very useful.

Mark Rein has experienced the issue first hand playing at home.
It is getting fixed. Epic had similar problems with GeOW if I remember correctly as the chat was fubar on that when it was released.

Crap did I miss it? who playing? I want in! : )
I'm going to totally disagree with the no jumping advice. Don't jump forwards and backwards thats correct, but if no one noticed, you jump to the side at nearly double speed. this speed dodge is my mainstay, if you can still hit them while flying sideways you're made. It works on an angle too, so you can turn slightly sideways, strafe and get down a long hallway faster so you don't get shot int the back.

Questions needing answers (PS3 version):
1.) In single-player campaign mode, is the intro sequence real-time (in-engine)?
2.) Are people actually playing this online? (just got it yesterday)

Yeah, we started talking about this. I've been a console gamer forever so I'm much more at home with two sticks and shoulder buttons than I would be with keyboard and mouse.Crayon said:

Well, I just had some good deathmatch rounds with BobTheFork (he won all of them and I was second ><), though he only beat me by one on Heat Ray
You should run a CTF/TDM room sometime. I don't know what happened after that Deck round, but it disconnected me. I might be back for more enforcer punishment later.

lol that was you? oh, I was wondering. Great game. Yeah heat ray was extremely close. The enforcer is my favorite weapon by far, and watch out if I ever grab a second : ) I stopped the server after that last round, I after to get ready for work. I'll add you when I get back on.

Bob and Hearse, I've added you both. I'm groovydoogles.
By next weekend we are going to have some nice games going.
Btw, Fabcam, probably won't be able to play in the morning. What timezone are you in?

Ok guys a friend of mine and myself are trying to go through Campaign mode, I set it up and send him an invite and no matter what it either says "Error Your connection to the server was lost" or it says unable to join match. WTF are we doing wrong??? This is irritating the hell out of us!!!

While playing Resistance, I can appreciate the extremly high quality of the game. But I don't really like it or play it all that much because I just don't like FPS.
I really havn't played many FPS at all besides since back in the day with the origional UT. Besides Halo, I've avoided every major console shooter.
What I'm saying here is that I don't really know my shooters. I don't know how UT3 REALLY stacks up to something like TF2 or COD4.
All I know is that I'm obsessed with UT3 deathmatch. >
And I know that I'm going to play a bit right now.

Yes, I have had that problem when trying to join certain games, in fact it was happening alot yesterday. Unfortunately I have no idea why it happens to some games and not others. The game had a low ping too.Synless said:

Yeah, I was. :lol
TF2 and UT3 are different animals. Whereas in UT3, you can just hop around and shoot everything that moves with no headset, TF2 requires coordination and strategy. Lag notwithstanding (TF2 really lags), both are good games, I just prefer the twitch-speed of UT3.Crayon said:

So what is the consensus on m/kb support in the PS3 version? I am getting the impression that the controls are so good that it is mostly unnecessary.

I have it on 360. My buddy's borrowing my copy of Orange Box since my 360 red ringed when we tried to play COD4 on Saturday.AKS said:
Sounds to me like the PS3's problem is framerate. It doesn't sound so bad that it would keep me from double-dipping so that I can finish the HL2 series on my preferred system, though. (That's the one that doesn't break.)

I took my mouse to a friend's house and tried it on his PS3 with the game. It worked. It also now works again on my PS3. Weird.
But more to the point... anyone having trouble connecting to Vehicle CTF matches? My PS3 has frozen about five straight times now trying to connect to a variety of midway servers (about the only ones allowing k/b + mouse).
