screenshots of the bonus pack please!

 

[PhlivoSong]

Damnit, I had no intention of ever playing UT3 and now I see they remade Facing Worlds.

 

[BPK]

Epic is EPIC!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously what other game developer supports their game like this - free DLC !!!!!!!!!!!! And Facing Worlds is my all-time faovurite board. As well, since this will be on the PSN, maybe most people who don't usually download mods will get this and we'll be able to play. What a great day. Epic you rock.

 

[Takeda Kenshi]

Are there any community made map packs I should be made aware of? If yes, any idea where I can snag them?

 

[Guileless]

Standing ovation to Epic. Yall can get it cheap on Amazon, PC version $35 and PS3 $52.

[Erebus]

How do you download them for PS3?

 

[Firewire]

How do you download them for PS3?

Are they on the Playstation Store? If they are it might be a straight forward download. I'll have to check it out a bit latter.

 

[Nizz]

Wow, I was thisclose to trading in UT3 last week towards something else. With all the activity lately, I'm going to go see about downloading some maps and character skins. Also want to d/load the PC Speed x (is that the name?) mod to get the gameplay speed up to the PC version. Want to see how it is with a controller at that speed....

Spoiler

I'm gonna die so fast

 

[spyshagg]

So, are most ps3 servers blocking mouse+kb or what? (plz say they aren't)

Hows the servers status, people playing much? like "warhawk" much? If yes then its cool.

Most servers are set up to allow both controller & KB/M, you have the option of searching for KB/M alone if you wish. There are allot of people playing KB/M.

Lots of servers, lots of players, lots of mods. No problems finding games at all, the community is very healthy.

[Ello]

Is UT3 worth buying just for mods?

To be fair, with the PC version fucking crashing on me all the time, and a PS3 version that couldn't connect to anything I was beginning to doubt them.....

Epic ARE BACK BABY!!!!

 

[Firewire]

Yes! Everyday is like a new experience, new maps, new mutators, newbies to destroy.

 

[ikkei]

Even if it seems that the mod community will be strong on this one, mods takes some time to do, so you should be waiting for another year to see the first ones. Anyway, the problem with mods will be whether people are playing them or not.

 

[Jim]

Yup, they'll be on the PS Store.

 

[Tiduz]

This is why i dont play online yet.

Spoiler

:lol

 

[Firewire]

Yup, they'll be on the PS Store.

I wonder if it downloads right into UT3, or if it goes to the HD and you have to do the regular install.

Spoiler

:lol

I go into one server and I do great, finish near the top, go into another and I'm playing with 10yr seasoned UT vets playing KB/M, and I get destroyed! I swear they see me with the missile launcher and they just stand there waiting for me to fire. Of course I do, and at the last second they hop out of the way and kill me while laughing. :lol

The newbies are good though, they learn the game fast.

 

[Raziel]

thanks sinatar

 

[ScrabbleBanshee]

Facing Worlds looks awesome. I loved sniping on that map... WILL PLAY.

 

[MoxManiac]

Most servers are set up to allow both controller & KB/M, you have the option of searching for KB/M alone if you wish. There are allot of people playing KB/M.

Lots of servers, lots of players, lots of mods. No problems finding games at all, the community is very healthy.

Yeah, I noticed this. I was about ready to give up on the game after not seeing many KB/M servers awhile ago, but now they seem plentiful. So staying I am!

 

[BPK]

erm...

Hehe, maybe I was a bit fulsome in my praise, but it's just refreshing to see free DLC in this age of nickle and diming. And when it's quality stuff (Facing Worlds) it just sweetens the deal.

 

[Firewire]

Allot of people coming back because of the recent update & the steady stream of new people seems to be increasing.

 

[dralla]

Does the open mic trick work? [pause the game while voice button being held, unpause]

 

[NameGenerated]

Wow, Epic is awesome, free maps (as usual for them)!

Instagib on Face was so fun back in the day.

 

[Sinatar]

The other 2 maps...

DM-Morbius:

CTF-Searchlight:

Never tried that, I'll give it a go tonight. I hate button pressing for talking.

 

[Cheeto]

pics of face

InstaGib redeemed....hopefully. I will give this a shot.

 

[spyshagg]

How healthy is it compared to PC servers? (ps3 kbmouse servers vs PC global)?

Kid of hard to lay down 70€ to find the thing a bit deserted, then again, a pc upgrade would cost me 800€ (its that old)


edit: just read in the official forums that in Europe, 90% are playing the pc version. In america, 90% are playing the ps3 version. I live in europe.
sucks

 

[ZeMMiK]

not on EU PSN..... can you also download the PC files, put it on a memstick and do it that way??
pls advise.

 

[ty_hot]

Started the game and it showed an 1.10 update

It's 44MB

55% HERE

whats new? voice chat finally? (already downloaded the 3 maps)

 

[Ceb]

Epic's awesome gesture of releasing these maps for free finally pushed me to place an order for UT3. I suppose some props @ Sony are also in order for not forcing them to charge for the content, but then again that's really how it should be.

whole bunch, how funny that you ended up getting it on the originally intended release date though.

[Skenzin]

I wonder if the 360 version will be canceled. We haven't heard anything in a long time.

 

[epmode]

sucks

Unless I'm mistaken, it seems as though the PC version is getting more popular in America, what with the Steam release.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

It's good to have Facing Worlds back, but seeing those screenshots makes me yearn for a UT3 update of the original look:

 

[BPK]

You guys should seriously get these two mods:

Garden of Dreams

Tokay Towers

Both are absolutely brilliant and could pass as a level included in the actual game. It blows my mind that each of these was created by just one person as opposed to a whole team.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Maps != Mods != Skins != Models.


*shakes fist*

Agreed, Garden of Dreams in incredible.

Played a couple of rounds in Morbius and Face on PS3! Absolutely fantastic, those two maps happen to be my favourites.

Morbius is fun but it's way too simple. I can see rocket spammers having a field day on that level.

 

[Cheeto]

Server list is still pretty suck...

 

[tha_con]

Played some today for the first time in a long while...

And I downloaded all the character skins...and encountered many Master Chief clones...I was in an 8 player room, fighting 7 MC's. Awesome.

 

[Erebus]

Yeah but that's the point here. Morbius also works well for instagib battles. 5-player matches are ideal for the map.

 

[MoxManiac]

Does it autodownload skins or is that just for mutators?

 

[mr stroke]

Unless I'm mistaken, it seems as though the PC version is getting more popular in America, what with the Steam release.

anyone out there still playing the PC version? I heard the community was dead, but with it being on Steam and my new PC I might have to jump back in the game(hated the PS version)...tons of full servers now?

 

[Wollan]

Does it autodownload skins or is that just for mutators?

Just mutators I believe.
