Doesn't change the fact that it's a cool mod and shows that UT3 mods on the PS3 can be pretty freakin cool.

How does this work in terms of MP games? Everyone has to have the same mods active? That one would definitely unbalance games, but it is pretty cool.

Its just cool that this is a user created thing. UT3 IMO has really just starting to come around as this entire mod possibility is going to be cool just like the good old PC stuff.

Can the mods be used on the PS3 version yet? I keep reading conflicting information on the UT3 forums, so I'm not sure what the story is. If they are usable, can someone give me a link with the instructions for loading them?

Will this MOD work in the single player/story mode???

If it does........Is this game like Gears of War??

Or is it more just a run and shoot type of game???

This game is the complete opposite playstyle of Gears of War. Whereas Gears of War requires some careful planning and thought and constantly using cover, UT3 is balls to the walls fast paced run and gun action.

I'm tempted to buy UT3........and do the MOD!!!!!!!

How difficult would this game be for a casual gamer like me......Im not GREAt at shooters nor am I bad.......I just don't want to buy UT3 and realize that the game is just to difficult.........like dying evertime I turn around!!!!!

Is this MOD availible for single player mode???

dying evertime I turn around!!!!!

That pretty much sums up the Unreal Tournament experience.

Spawn, see other guy first, kill him, get killed. Spawn be seen by other guy before you see him, die.

Mod worked really well tonight, though there were only about 5 TDM using it and ZERO Warfare running it.

TDM with the shield mod and Action view mod was pretty cool. Only one server running both though.

There really is not a single player mode, not one you would expect anyway. Its a terrible story mode thats really just bot match games (Though it was hysterical when they discussed "flags" when you got to the CTF section) with TERRIBLE AI companions. As far as I could tell you can't load mods in the campaign but you should be able to if you start a multiplayer campaign.

The single player campaign is a great introduction to the series if you haven't played. Also really helps you get to know the various maps. I played through the whole thing and enjoyed it.

As far as the AI is concerned, it isn't very great by default, but if you use your tactical commands it helps a ton. Once I figured out they were there (press left on the d-pad and then "orders"), assigning defend and attack commands to various members of the squad made a HUGE difference.

Even though it frustrates me having to do these steps I did all the formatting of my card and everything and I'll give these mods a try.

this has to be because of the blu ray disc capacity in the PS3 which is helping win the war right now.....awesome didnt like Gears on 360 but will like the mod done on this very heard, but well worth it...

That sums up any online shooter. You are supposed to learn the maps with the SP game so you know where the armor and shields are. This is how you live and rack up kill streaks. I have yet to even play online and I think the game is a blast. I've also DL and installed all user made content without issue. I prefer 1st person over the action cam though.

Perhaps the way YOU play it is, but UT has always been a twitch shooter unlike most other modern shooters. Halo is still a twitch shooter but even CoD4 is not. In Unreal you die FAST, faster than anything else out there. Its "classic" in this respect.

Its not a slight, its the way Unreal Tournament has always been.

Perhaps the way YOU play you die fast, but there is nothing about the core gameplay that says you have to die fast. While you move faster in UT games, that has little to do with how long you live. I suspect there are people who can play a ten minute game and only die once or twice. If you suck then yes you die fast and often.

Although I agree I'd say the average player is gonna die pretty frequently in UT. Not only does the fast pace of the game equal more death more often but when six shots kills it doesn't take much to get taken out. By the time you turn around to figure out who's shooting you you're more than likely dead.

I have to ask, have you ever played an Unreal Tournament game?

The game is designed with a balance of weapons and health that means you die and kill fast. Most of the weapons in UT games do massive damage, it does not require many hits to take someone out. Its always been that way and its no different in UT III.

The shield mod changes this and its very cool!

Prtobably not too much, it seems to just be a point of view camera move. Just wait, the mod community will start coming out with crazy stuff.

It depends on the map size and game mode. Sure and small map with 8 player DM is quick death, like most other online shooters. Weapons like the flak cannon and rocket launcher are deadly if you have no where to go. Of course UT3 has some large maps where it will be very hard to inta-kill someone without a sniper rifle headshot if you are far away.

I've played small map DM in Halo 3, guess what? Ya, die, respawn, die, respawn and dieing by an elbow in many cases. Of course the larger the map the more spread out you get and the less chance you have of getting jumped from 3' behind you. How is that particular to UT? You can run away to fight another day in UT3, the weapons are either imprecise and powerful or precise and weaker (like all shooters), just keep finding those health boost and/or shields.

You must suck at Halo then. If your reasonably good you can stay alive for extended periods of time because you can absorb a fair amount of damage (some have gone so far as to refer to the Spartans and Elites as "bullet-sponges"), killing sprees and frenzies aren't uncommon. In UT3 you die in 6 shots maximum. It's nothing like Halo, it's faster paced, you die faster, you kill faster, you move faster, you spawn faster. I'm not knocking UT, it's just a different playstyle and that how it works.

In Halo if someone's shooting me I have time to assess where I'm being shot from, turn around, shoot back, and if I'm good kill the other guy before he finishes me off. In UT3 if someone is shooting me I'm half dead by the time I figure out where it's coming from if I'm lucky, by the time I turn around to return fire I'm a bullet-riddled corpse. Is it possible to stay alive for extended periods of time in UT3? Yea, but it's not as likely to happen and it doesn't happen nearly as often.

Depends on the weapon, theres allot of weapons in halo 3 that will kill you with one shot.


Lets put it this way,a fairly good halo 3 player will own in UT3. Halo 3 is all about camping weapons,knowing the kill zones, and killing people as fast possible,and not getting killed in-turn.

Yes, but there are in UT3 as well. The point is with those weapons that don't kill immediately what I just said applies. In UT3 every gun kills quickly, if I got the jump on you with a handgun chances are I'd kill you, in Halo if my friend gets the jump on me with the AR I may still be able to turn the tides and take him out first.

I cant wait to try this, Its hard to get me off of COD4 because my friends play COD and not UT. If my computer at home would stop bricking (this will be the 2nd time i had to reformat in a week... ROAR!!!! i am utterly pissed). I will download it right away, maybe it will be an excuse to use the browser on the ps3, i never used it b4 :\. IM SO EXCITED FOR 3rd person! it seems pretty cool! UT is a good buy, i bought it like 2 weeks ago and havent been playing it due to COD :( but i think this game is better than COD i just need UT friends :(
