Did it affect the PC? Has modding ever affected a game in the manner in which you are hypothesizing?

I never played mods except for Counter Strike on the original Half Life. Plus, there were more PC gamers at that time who were online. UT3 for PS3 hasn't sold very well yet. Only half the people who own PS3 have a PSN account. Then only a small percentage of those people bought UT3.

Don't get me wrong, I own the game. I'm going to play tonight but I'm drinking beer so i might not play too well.

You make a good point, but if you find a mod you like just start telling your friends about it. If it doesn't suck it probably won't be long before there are lots of people playing it.

it's good to see consoles are finally getting mods, mods are really awesome and can make a game a whole lot more valuable in terms of replayability and material, i'm just going to give u my understanding of pc mods from experience and how i think it would work in the whole ut3 modding system,

here is how it works, there are different kinds of mods, total conversions, modded maps and partial mods,

Apart from total conversion mods depending on what changes, i don't think u have to worry about servers and number of players available, it's the same game engine so it won't really affect anything since the mods are more like maps and modded characters as opposed to reworked game engine files,

A total conversion mod completely changes the game experience by converting the game to look like something else but still running on the same engine, with total conversion mods, they are huge almost like expansion packs and may need seperate servers when ppl are running them to avoid unusual server loads, they could come as maps and character models to choose from, with enhanced vehicles for the different multiplayer modes like vehicle ctf,
an example would be someone using the unreal editor 3 on pc to say transport gears of war pc textures, maps and models and use them to make a gears of war mod for ut3, then changing the game to third person view by modifying some engine files by using the hoverboard view, changing the field of view to over the shoulder, etc. then u have a mod that feels like a whole new game altogether running on ut3 engine with maps of its own so ppl can't cross play with each other without having the mods, or maybe a star wars mod or something, ppl can be very creative with these ones but they take time and are pretty huge in terms of file size,

A modded map just changes the standard game map and does not affect servers, players or the game experience itself, they are just selected like any other regular map, this first mod is a probably like that,

A partial mod is like total conversion but it isn't a complete change, it's just the same ut3 with a few enhancements, this'll probably form the bulk of mods because it's easier to make, this changes a few things in the game,

The sweet thing about mods is people never stop making them and u'll probably see a new and better one every now and then, they'll become so many u won't know which one to choose from, it makes games very hard to get boring cos there's always something new and different out there,

I mean i still play around with half life 2 mods and I've had to mess with only a couple hundred out of the thousands of mods out there, there's even a wii mod that allows u to use the wiimote and shows wii controls on the screen and stuff with an enhanced field of view to make the motion controls work better,

MODDING IS AWESOME!!!! MODDING FTW!!!!

Well done.

I'm hoping that total conversions would work flawlessly on the PS3 though, because if they do, a GOW mod would be awesome.

The aspiring game designers get on board and show their talent with some amazing mods..
And if its free how can we go wrong.

They were talking about restricting some of the "license" mods on the PS3. For instance the Gears mod everyone wants to see or a popular Star Trek mod that a team is working on. I don't see how they can restrict anything if all we need to do is throw a mod on a thumb drive. So it's actually a good thing that they aren't handling these things through PSN. We may just get our Gears or Halo mod.

the halo mod for ut3 looks kinda bad. i just checked a gametrailers video preview of it, and it didn't really blow my socks off.

might be the fact it was made by a Man U fan, but who knows... :-/

they lack any kind of knowledge on parallel processing, halo 3 on ps3 would prolly look worse than the 360 and would prolly chug and putt at 15 fps... bungie didn't do a good job of halo 3 on 360 and thats way easier to code for than the PS3, based on who you listen to, if bungie coudn't get it to run smootly on a system thats much more dev friendly just imagine how broken they would have had it on the ps3...

either way... i'd kill to see someone use the UE3 and do a hyper realistic mod of a popular game franchise, halo, mario galaxy, uncharted hell even warhawk and HS that would be awesome. or even do a KZ1 stage on the ue3.

That's a good question. They can work for the PC version but I don't see how it would work with the PS3 version.

Extract and save it to a memory stick, memory card, compact flash, or save it to a USB Flash drive [or an iPod]. as long as you save it somewhere where you can plug it into the USB slot of the ps3.

Put it in or plug it in. load up the game, go to community, My Content, Hit Square. Pick the source where you saved it. it'll scan. it'll ask if you want to import the Data or it'll start. after that, you're done. the map or whatever is done. just exit and start playing again ;o
