Eurogamer: "Until today, very little was known about the first major expansion pack for Unreal Tournament 3. So put on your tinted infogoggles, or prepare to be lightly fact-dazzled. It's free. It's a 800MB-1GB download. It's due for a simultaneous release on 5th March, for PS3 and PC. The PS3 version will introduce the split-screen action that literally dozens of Xbox 360 owners enjoyed, and a new mod-browser for PS3 will pipe-feed users with a convenient barrage of Epic-approved tweaks and mods that have been a fundamental part of the game's history for nearly twenty years.
Previously, PS3 owners had to fanny about with Flash drives; now it's all installed directly to HD, after which the new content - whether it's maps, gametypes, characters or mutators - will appear in the relevant menu."
Epic Games has great news for mod developers: Custom sounds can now be imported for Unreal Tournament 3 mods for PLAYSTATION3 using Epic Games' ATRAC3 mod tools, which are free of charge and available now.
Previously, custom sounds for Unreal Tournament 3 mods have only been supported for PC. Thanks to cooperation with Sony, Epic Games is able to offer its QA-tested and approved PS3 sound conversion tools to mod authors.
What this means is that...
It would be nice of this game had offline Co-Op, that way this would come in handy with my cousin and I playing.
TGSI
The Haunted and PlanetStorm would be an awesome score. There's alot of great mods for UT3 and any coming to the PS3 would be a welcome addition.
Examiner: A trend in gaming that has caught on lately is user generated content. Levels, designs, and even characters created by players are shareable for everyone to take advantage of. User created content not only extends the replay value of a game, but it also gives players a creative outlet while allowing them to share their work with the rest of the world.
Unreal Tournament is a series that has been around since 1999 on the PC, 2000 on the PlayStation 2 and 2001 on the Dreamcast. I remember losing hours of my time to this game with a bunch of friends huddled around the television. Being deemed "Godlike" with everyone around to see how skilled you are is so satisfying.
This popular series finally made its way over to the PlayStation 3 back in December of 2007 in the form of Unreal Tournament III (3), one of the few games that came out on the system before releasing on the Xbox 360. While it was a good game when it released and had mod and online support, there was no splitscreen and trophies were not even a consideration at the time. If I had reviewed it when it first came out, I'd have given it a 3/5. But with the recent Titan/2.0 patch and DLC content, this game is seeing a lot more playtime on my PlayStation 3.
The Titan Pack makes this a lot more enjoyable now, still not the best in the UT series (UT2K4 for me) its still a great blast to jump in on.
I sort of agree, but then I didn't play UT2K4 nearly as much as I've played UT3. They're both extremely fun though.
HOLY SH*t.
Epic is working with the PS3 again?
All of Hell has froze over.. again. And its free wow.
If they release this I will buy it, because the mods were great but installing them and finding people with the same mods took all the fun out of it.
P.S. This game is 20$ at more retailers in US. Quite honestly, this patch? Dlc could make UT3 the best online FPS. Just look at some of the mods @ UT3mod.com
The Titan Pack also rewards you for your successes in game, with 57 awards that can be attained as Steam Achievements for PC and Trophies for PlayStation 3.

I love the game and would play it more if they would do something about the attrocious amount of lag the ps3 version has. Resistance 2 has 60 player lag free games, so this with 16 has no excuse.
wow, awesome. i play this game very often. splitscreen is nice! cant wait for it!
Offer it at retail plus the pack for $20.
