alright I'm on the verge of buying this. Tried out my cousins version tonight loved it. It's tough, but I already started getting a little better. What I was wondering is... will this game last? I played tonight and there were very few servers, it was late though (4 AM). I was wondering what's it like during the day? When released in PAL will servers be worldwide so we can get more players involved?

Really? I mean, I see a decent amount off servers for most game types except warfare and VCTF. But I consider seeing about 8 listings to be good. If you like it play it, and if you can add to the server pool; host your a match from time to time (With mouse and Keyboard enabled).

I've been playing this on PC and boy oh boy are the deathmatch servers dead. There were only like 3 servers with a total of 25 people last night.

That's what I hated about UT2004, a dozen playmodes and nobody on the old-school deathmatch servers.

I've imported and I can only play on EU servers, if I want to play on US servers I get pings around 500/600. So I hope that they can fix this one way.

I give up on this game. I cannot even get into a multiplayer match or even the fucking menu because im still getting the message that i need to be signed in to play EVEN THOUGH I FUCKING AM. This shit is going on ebay right now.
 
The ps3 version has server of all types bumping all night : )

I am having one problem that is PISSING ME OFF and ruining it for me right now. IT KEEPS SWAPING MY WEAPONS WHILE IM SHOOTING AT SOMEONE!! I turned weapon swap off, but thats only for pickup anyway. Sometimes its right when I press fire, sometimes its while im shooting, but it happens all the time. It switches to a weapon thats farther up on my list. Ill be shooting someone with the link gun and BAM it switches to the enforcer, and I'm not out of link ammo. Anyone else having this? Its driving me crazy. It might be my controller but its the only one I have so I can't check : (

Are you hitting L2 by accident or something? Never had it happen to me, the only time I get weapons changes is when ammo runs out!

There's a setting that maps R3 to "Best weapon available" that sometimes causes it for me. You may want to check how the controller is mapped.

differently not pressing it even accidentally, i tried playing without my index fingers to make sure.

Eek ill try that, that might be it. It always switches to the highest weapon on the list, which is the enforcer, but it changed when I changed the list.

^^^ i know this sounds dumb but turn up the difficulty. I've really noticed the different behavior of the bots on different level. They won't even jump until you up it to level 2 or three3, I noticed they anticipate you on the corners once you get them turned up to adept (which is 5 i think)
 
So have there been any new maps and mods since the original release a few weeks ago? Also, are there many servers actually running those maps? That is my biggest concern.

Yeah, four maps and an autoshield mod. Not too many servers running them, though. Crayon's working on that.

http://www.ut3mod.com, you can download directly to your PS3 if you have a memory card/stick/whatever inserted with the right file structure, and instructions are on the site.

I figured it was appropriate for my avatar to reply to yours

EDIT: oh, okay, so there are servers. Bob would know better than I. :lol

yes, i've seen several ps3 server running the new maps, and most of them are marked as such. I have had a few of them put one of the new maps into rotation with the original maps and not mention it. You get booted if you don't have it :p

Is there a reason why my wireless USB mouse wont work for this game? It will work on the PS3 XMB bar before I start the game, but when I go into a UT3 match with keyboard/mouse support, only the keyboard work :/

Try switching the connections to the USB ports around. Sounds dumb, but it worked for me.

edit: good news about the editor, there will be some cool shit coming now :D

This happened to me when I had a wireless keyboard w/ a usb mouse. When I put my wireless mouse on it worked fine.

i seriously doubt that it will last beyond the dedicated few unless they fix the connection issues with this game. most people are not going to put up with the freezing your console bullshit while connecting to some servers

I presume this game has the similar issues as Resistance online pre-patched (same region, same region online). Any Asian gamers playing the Asian version of it by any chance?

Looks like the first user created mod is out!

It is a 3rd person Action Camera mod! I have only had the opportunity to play with this option briefly, but I think I'm going to use it on my servers.:D
This seems like a cool site, support it by downloading here UT3MOD.COM

No, it does not have the problem like pre-patched Resistance.

I use a NTSCJ PS3 and I play on the US servers fine.

It's the same way Europeans have been playing the game now too.

For the most part only Insomniac and Naughty Dog do things based on the region of the hardware. Whereas others do it by PSN name or by game disc / version.
 
I need help. I can't find the mod thread and I need to know how to get level on my ps3

Finally got back on Unreal and my game froze earlier. Got a message saying it crashed due to mods :(. Since then though no problems and I'm back to owning.

Who can I pay to make me a very quick and easy mutator? Seriously I've got PayPal fired up and ready, I just need someone with a few minutes and some knowledge

I just got done checking out the ActionCam mutator on PS3.

Even combined with the Slo-mo mutator, its still way faster than Gears, and the ActionCam only affects the perspective, which is fixed behind the player. Its pretty terrible for actual play because the model obstructs view of enemies.

How hard would it be to do L1 "focus" aiming a la Gears/Uncharted using UnrealED?

I will say this: 3rd person is very pretty. If someone gets the Gears controls/speed right, it could be a lot of fun playing UT3 maps that way.

Cover system is probably too much to ask... :(

can someone please put up a link or tell me how to get this levl on my p3s. I have the jam file but I cant get ut3 to import it.

the file structure should be PS3>>SAVEDATA>>BLUS30086-MODIMPORT>>> then the jam file i think usb sticks can olny take 1 mod at a time so you have to keep switching the file

Some of these maps people are working on are amazing looking!!! I can't wait to see some of shit people come up with.

I'm wondering if the OP can start a list of all the mods as they come in, hard to keep track once things get rolling. Some of these are already looking awesome.

Another dm match just went up on ut3mod. This site makes the mods really easy to get. =) Oh the new map is called fractal.

So just how wacky do the modifications get in this game?


Will we see Link using laser swords to fight Mario in a giant castle?

That windmill stage could seriously be used as the basis for an ICO-themed map.
