- omygroin, on 10/11/2007, -11/+79Wow im more excited for this than Halo3. UT was always better than Halo in multiplayer. If UT3 pwns like Gears did then it'll cool down much of the hype surrounding the Halo3 launch. Epic is on a roll.
- dimmer, on 10/11/2007, -5/+51agreed. best fps multiplayer, hands down. MMMMMMONSTER KILL
- Wetzilla, on 10/11/2007, -4/+36Because everyone knows that sales = quality. You must also think that the Backstreet Boys, Nsync and the Spice Girls are all some of the best groups, because they sold so many albums.
- brstilson, on 10/11/2007, -1/+23"You mean despite what the numbers say?"
Britney Spears sold a lot of records, that doesn't make her music good
McDonalds sells billions of hamburgers a year, that doesn't make them taste good - spyrochaete, on 10/11/2007, -0/+22The title of Best FPS will never be bestowed on anything but a PC title.
- spyrochaete, on 10/11/2007, -0/+21It's pretty encouraging to hear "HOLY *****!" when you max out the graphical settings. :)
- felch, on 10/11/2007, -0/+20it's 'flak'
- dannyboy3020, on 10/11/2007, -2/+21Best =/= most popular.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18@Manifestdata
You Madam, are an idiot... It IS one of the best FPS's of all time... No question. 8 Years later and there's still a quite active community. Can you say that for any other game? Yes, you can, but only about very few which vaults UT99 to the top of FPS's.
And yeah, sales mean dick... All it means is that a game is hyped enough to dupe millions of unsuspecting gamers into buying trash. - ericnmu, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17Yes, it requires shader model 3.
Get used to it, Unreal 3 engine is heavily licensed. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+21Am I the only one that uses the UT series as a benchmark for upgrades to my system? Looks like I'll be upgrading in late August, early September.
- Chromatik, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16I'm pretty sure there will be, Epic has traditionally supported Linux.

And Im a PC.
1 of us is easily and cheaply customizable and upgradable for great computer gaming compatibility.
1 of us is not, but looks fabulous when linked to an iPod because they match so well and really work wonders for the decor of your room. - AcePup, on 10/11/2007, -1/+16Buried for spam! Original article: http://uk.pc.ign.com/objects/746/746632.html
- Endar, on 10/11/2007, -5/+19buying a ps3 is not sensible
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13Yes.
- HunterTV, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13@deltro
That post date is months old. - subbzzz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10It'll be good if they still keep the Flak Smilies :D
- sekhui, on 10/11/2007, -2/+12what the hell did you expect out of a console version? good graphics and extensive hardware support? *snicker*
- 12340987, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9what about the demo?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9I hope English is not your first language.
- uberlaff, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Quake 3 was great, but UT 2004 was unbelievable! That game was crack!
- Kypt, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9"2 weeks" :P
- spyrochaete, on 10/11/2007, -4/+11Buy that PS3 and cry when you actually see the 8800 in action. The PS3 ain't gettin' any faster in the coming years, but PCs certainly are. At least you'll be able to watch Wedding Crashers in Blu-ray.
- BrokenVisage, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Now I know when to buy my next video card, perfect!
- Butmac, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Epic is most definitely on a roll if UT3 is as solid as Gears. September 3rd is a lot sooner than I had expected too...
- xtmno3, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unreal_Tournament_3#Content_creation
I like the addition of a 'Play' feature on map making etc. Having to toggle between the game and the editor sucks.
IGN backs up the release date:
http://pc.ign.com/objects/746/746632.html - fucter, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Will there be a Linux version?

Burried as Utter ***** ***** - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -7/+13There is ABSOLUTELY NO NEED for a developer to place a one month gap between North American and European releases - text in game which would require translation will be finished long in advance of the ship date and could be translated then.
Other developers/publishers have shown that it is possible to do worldwide launches in the space of a number of days (look at Grand Theft Auto - it's got thousands of words of text) so this just seems to be poor scheduling on Epic's part. - mitrovarr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5UT2003 wasn't great, but if you missed UT2004, you missed out. UT2004 fixed everything wrong with UT2003, and then some.
- arjie, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Awesome! I loved Unreal Tournament and I still have the CDs with me and play the game every now and then. For a game that was released in '99, UT has one heck of a following and it ranks as one of the top games I've played, on any platform. OpenGL FTW!
- KUKBAHLAM, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5The 800lb gorilla in the room..... Which OS to run... Both Unreal engine and Cry engine will have 64bit Linux versions.... So the only reason to install that copy of vista gathering dust on my shelf...... Shadow run??? The MS game where they cripple the PC version to allow Xbox users a chance at beating a mouse and keyboard.....
That being said, UT2004 is still great... very playable after 4+ years of play. Screwing up it's near perfect gameplay could be easy on a new, graphics intensive 1st person shooter. - formulathree, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6"You won't get the pretty DX10 look if you don't go with Vista though"
DX10 is just another proprietary Microsoft API designed for vendor lock in and the prevention of ports. It's the hardware that does the real work. OpenGL can do everything DX10 can. Just ask John Carmack and iD as all of their PC games use OpenGL exclusively. - commiecat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I can't wait. I grew up on id games like Doom II and QI/II but when the original Unreal came out, I was blown away and have been a fanboy ever since.
The gameplay has always been great, the engine is arguably the best in the FPS world, the community is active, the game mods are encouraged by the developers (e.g., the "Make Something Unreal" contest with a $1M purse) and now they're releasing this game for PC (including Mac/Linux) and console around the same time.
Halo is the FPS franchise right now because of all the console support. I'm obviously biased but I truly think that between the graphics, the gameplay and the recent success of GoW, which they are wisely using to promote UT3, I think that Epic can really give Bungie a run for the best FPS regardless of platform. Even if I'm wrong, the bottom line is that the success of both franchises will only make future iterations that much better. - Chromatik, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5See my reply to Fucter, long story short:
"We will also support Mac and Linux as per usual." - Mark Rein - Anoobis, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Yeah just to expand on clearz comment:
Mark Rein:
"We don't know when the game will be released but it won't be ready in time for September 3rd. In addition the idea that we would release the game in the US and UK several weeks apart is just plain silly."
http://forums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=570995 - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7It won't cool down any hype for Halo 3 because UT3 is primarily a PC Game, Halo is a console game that PC Gamers don't get for a few years. They are different markets. Console gamers won't give a crap about UT and PC Gamers don't give a crap about Halo.
- thrallie, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Is this going to be another Unreal Engine 3 game that requires shader model 3? Can I run it on a graphics card that only has Shader Model 2.0? :(
- Chromatik, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5lol @ aydoubleyou.
As a longtime player of both I disagree for the most part. I will give you that UT is more "newb friendly" when first starting out, but after that it evey bit as competitive as Quake if not more so. Getting off shock combos while you are mid-air is much harder than a 'Flick rail > switch to SG or LG to finish them off" any day. I will be curious to see what Quakewars brings to the table. - Sairgem, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Well since I still live in my momma's basement, and love kittens, I know how to digg you guys.
- DarkJC, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4UT2003 sucked. Everyone should've skipped it and just gotten UT2004.
- KUKBAHLAM, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Don't forget that this game grows a lot after install. Currently I am at 8.2gigs for UT2004.
This is not a complaint.... I paid $35 for a game thats still playable and that the community is still producing maps and mods for. - XCannon, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Buried as inaccurate.
Why? It's fairly simple. Mark Rein, yeah that guy that does things around Epic.
"We don't know when the game will be released but it won't be ready in time for September 3rd. In addition the idea that we would release the game in the US and UK several weeks apart is just plain silly."

Nice try though - formulathree, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4
Sorry to inform you, but UT3 PS3 will support keyboard and mouse as well as dedicated servers. - KUKBAHLAM, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I felt it too...... I began playing the beta the 1st day of it's release (Torlan is still in rotation on most servers and it makes me puke) but did not get the Holy ***** for years. When I did it was like an old friend patting me on the back and saying... "Now that's a nice machine." A very tangible reward for the hassle of moving into a new workstation.
- idonthack, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6OpenGL can do everything DX10 can.
- spidoman, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6M-M-M-MONSTER KILL
???
really?
-GOD LIKE!
-HOLY *****! - MasteRR, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I wonder if they know that their scripting language (kismet) shares the name of a WiFi scanner.
- ericnmu, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5Quake Wars might do that for me.
