UT3 is meh. UT2004 was better.
ET:QW seems to be the big winner in terms of people actually playing online out of the recent releases.
Based on the Gamespy, there are no UT3 players.
I find UT3 boring, they ruined ONS... DM is ok but there's no real reason to play it over 2k4 DM, especially considering how much more custom content is avaiable and in circulation for 2k4... so I'm still playing 2k4 for the most part
They removed all the fun gameplay modes. I loved UT and UT2K4. 2K4 was a good evolution of the original. UT3 feels like a step backwards.
I'd much rather play CoD4 online.
I went on last night around 11:00 and found only 4 servers running warfare mode. Actually, I found about 150 but then 146 had no players in them.
Did this game come out at a bad time or is it just not that fun for you guys?
i would imagine its because epic has consolified ut3 and for the first time are not 100% dedicated to the pc gaming community
It's not selling and the reason of this is how lame the graphic is compare to the hype.
Where are all the UT3 Players?
Based on the Gamespy, there are no UT3 players, ET:QW seems to be the big winner in terms of people actually playing online out of the recent releases.
That said, this has been an awesome couple of months for new games, and there are only so many hours in a day.
Yeah I dont think the hard core UT players give a shit about the graphics.
Personally I havent bought my copy yet (and I'm a crazy UT fan, been playing competitively since the month after the original UT came out.) because of how pissed off I was at the beta demo.
GameSpy server system? Fuck you, Epic. Honestly. I have to register my name now to play and go through all this other bullshit including their ass backwards menu system and server browser.
There are a number of key issues that need to be addressed, and they've started to with the patches (the eyeheight bug, holy shit) but the kind of response that fans recieved in the UT forums (you get banned if you question any Epic decision.) is awful, and Epic should be ashamed.
The INI system is completely fucked up (stuck in my documents now? wtf?) and they're a pain to edit compared to the ease of use that UT2k* and UT had. You have to tinker in the INI files if you actually want to change any settings, and disable the dumb depth of field and blurry bloom shit.
The game feels too much like a quick copy and paste of the Gears style with elements of the UT franchise thrown in. And Epic doesnt even know what the fuck theyre doing anymore when it comes to designing the game. Deathmatch? Onslaught? Warfare? Make up your mind, and stop spreading yourself so thin, because thats the problem.
Yeah... what was I saying?
I got TF2 4 days ago, and in my first day of playing I was already topping the leaderboards... good luck with that in UT3, it took me a year of 2k4 to own the regular pubs, and 3+ to be considered as doing "good/great" in most TAM servers. Took me 5 hours of TF2, and i'm having an absolute blast playing it. UT3 is more frustrating than fun.
I agree with others on here. The demo was a disappointment quite frankly, so if I do ever get it, it will be when it gets cheap.
I have more fun going back and playing 2k4 and its mods than I did with the UT3 demo. Besides, I want to get COD4 before I even sniff UT3.
