dont talk trash out of you ass. the game is fine, and it never crashes, especially not because of servers.

I can't say what type of game experience you've had with UT3 but I know my own has been hastle free and extremely smooth. I imported the game and have had no problem joining and playing US matches.

Maybe it's your own network or ISP that has the issue?

@ Keo

Heh, everyone has a different setup when it comes to networks, pc's, game systems and tv's. I've read your posts before and never found them to be fanboyish so when you say you're having a problem I believe you. In my experience of the game though it's been pretty much flawless but I have seen issues in other games which is why I asked if it was down to your network or ISP.

UT is and has always been possibly my favourite FPS game, I couldn't wait for the game on PS3 (hence the import) so I can feel your pain if you're having a bum time with it. Have you tried refreshing your network setup on the PS3, sometimes I find my network kinda slows down not even able to sign in at some points. I just re-run the network setup until I get a NAT2 and it's usually free of problems.

no hard feelings man. but u werent at my house when i was expirencing the problems. unless u were in my fridge drinking my beer :P. for the first couple of times i played it ran great...the next 20 times it was a fussy sob. i wanted nothing more than to have it run like others did. but to accuse me of throwing fud for my bad expirence was lame.

@ keo

thx for the kind words. im no way fanboyish.

never crashed once for me...been playing it since Christmas day...

it lags at times just like any other p2p game, but the dedicated servers are great...UE3 is definitely not the best for online, but UT3 is by far the best running game using it so far...

the mods are really starting to get cool though...can't wait for the upcoming contests...

Man, it never crashed for me. I had a little lag, like 2 o 3 times in like 2 months i had played it. But never crashed. Even when i'm playing in a server with like 15 mods on it.

I LOVE THE MODS ON UT3. XD ROCK IT ON

I have some problems as well when joing a midway_psn server....My screen freezes and I have to restart to play. Just don't join one of those servers and you should be good to go. Also recently I have been trying to join the midway severs in the hundreds like midway_119 for instance and I keep getting a message package "CORE" not downloadable. Anybody know what this is or where I can get it? This game is unbelievable btw and everyone who likes online shooters should not hesitate to pick up this monster.

2 - Coming from a PC back ground...
i have spend countless hours fragging on UT (and getting fragged myself lol), sure it might not have alot of depth, the story is poor, the single player is basically nothing more than training but, and its the most important but, its FUN, super FUN infact, and with a huge community backing the game up you'll never get bored of the same old map rotation or game type.

I fully recommend any PS3 owning FPS fan to pick this game up, forget about how many copies were sold or what scores some website gave it, give it a rent, i promise you'll enjoy yourself!

UUUULLLLLTTTTTTRRRRAAAAA KKIIILLLLLLLL!!!

Also, just a question... Why does everyone on this site care sooooo much about sales figures?? Is this place for Sony/MS exec's or something because i thought it was for gamers?

Not everyone on the site is bothered about sales figures. I made a post regarding the figures of DMC4 (congratulating the game in general not for PS3 or 360 release) because I'm a fan of the series and i'm honestly pleased to see it doing well.

Most cases here though use the figures to try to get one up on the competitors console. "Haha our version sold 3 more copies than your version so you suck" etc etc.

Honestly, when I see sale figure threads I expect to see more posts in the open zone than the gamer zone but sadly that's not the case.

Fishy

bubbles for you- your an excellent addition to n4g

i too spent many hours fragging in UT2004, i especially liked the adrenaline that allowed to jump around like crazy

the UT series deserves more praise- its one of the most enjoyable online experiences there is especially with all the mods and stuff

Sales figures are important. Look at how the sales of blueray players made it the winning format. If one consoles software outsells another consistantly, the developers will focus primarilly on the dominate console (the same way movie studios move over to the winning format) and give ported versions of their game to the secondary which are normally not as high quality.

Having persistant lower sales will greatly impact a console over time, it won't be noticeable the first year, maybe not in the second, but when the developers are watching for patterns, and when they see one they will react to it quickly. Unfortunately for the ps3 at this time, many of the owners purchased it for blueray movies instead of games (as shown by sales)... this may change this year. If it does not though you will see a very sharp decline in 3rd party developers making exclusive titles for it, such as epic or rockstar.. or even putting much focus in the developements of their ports..

Good to see that UT3 is doing well and it will only get better as it is released in Europe in the next couple days. As for the system crashing, I have never had 1 problem with UT3. I would like to play it more if it weren't for that damn Call of Duty 4 game. I can't get that game out of my PS3. I think I need counceling for that game. LOL!

It'll ship 2 mln. on the 360 version alone Epic knows where to make the money! (Gears of War sold over 5 mln. with at that time a 10 mln. user base)

Yeah, if it ever gets released.

Epic won't release it without mods, Microsoft won't allow mods.

It's sitting at Epic 100% complete but they can't release it.

So, so far, it's sold 0 copies.

7 - UT3 Rocks on PS3!
Mark Rein knows that this is it for PC gaming. The PS3 version of the game is really good, especially with the keyboard and mouse play. For those who haven't played it as yet need to go and try it out. Another point is that the mod capability has allowed the game to never get boring on the PS3. I have downloaded several mods. Incredible maps. And they are all free.

I just picked up my copy this weekend. It's an awesome game! Amazing graphics. I've been a fan of Unreal Tournament since the first one and I continue to enjoy the series.

I honestly experienced no lag while playing in a room with 15 other people. It's quite a feat, especially since I downgraded my internet connection to the lowest possible speed!
