Mark Rein confirms mods will be coming to Unreal Tournament 3 on 360

Talking to OXM at the Midway Gamers Day in Las Vegas, Epic president Mark Rein confirmed that the best mods will be available to players of the Xbox 360 version of Unreal Tournament 3, although details are still being worked out. "We know some of these great mods are going to play a role on Xbox 360, even if we have to get some people and bring them over ourselves," he said. "We'll figure it out."

[Fishy Fingers]

Sounds like they'll be putting a few of the better MoDs on Live. That's good of them, as long as they remain free.

[Glad to be a gamer]

so smooth just like doa4 only a few occasions have i experience lag when playing people in japan. I hope tekken 6 will be as good exp online.

Secondly this is great news i was so hoping that mods would be announced. Well done epic for coming up with a solution and not forsaking your fans that own 360's.

Split screen and mods who would have thought it? sweet.

Edit WHOOPS! meant to post in thread 2.

[Statix]

I kinda wonder what will be the extent of the selection mods that will be distributed through XBL. Could just be a couple of the major mods that don't violate any copyright regulations. I guess it would be a no-go and a big no-no to Microsoft/Epic to being able to play as Solid Snake or MC or any other unnofficial game character in the 360 version, or whatever mods that contain copyrighted stuff.

[sonarus]

Not probably statix. No mod support period. Their plan is to track down the best mods and make it available thru xbox live. I wonder if they will charge for them i truly hope not. Anyways the mods won't be as much as ps3 since it is not real mod support but it is better than nothing.

Sorry to sound so negative guys but this still isn't mod support but great job on epics part though for making those mods available. Already have it on ps3 so this news doesn't really affect me. Great job on epics part though. Lets just wait and see how much mod support 360 version will get

[MikeMichaels]

Mark is using the 360 fanboys to help sell his game.

Pulling their little strings with comments like....it's gonna look a little better, we promise. Now it's, ummm...yeah, were going to try to put mods up...somehow. Even though it impossible to keep up with the scene considering all the red tape (ie certification and such) they have to go through for any type of addon pack.

He'll saying anything to get them worked up and its sad that allot of them will fall for it.

Just look at morons like Jason360...eating it up! hahahaha.

[fenderputty]

It still suck that it's not full blown support but, it's better then just 5 extra maps. lol

[sonarus]

Most 360 owners have already written the game off. No one likes a game that is late to the party.

[NO_PUDding]

Well, these mods won't come with the game. Becuase then you'd be paying for it. And that would be illegal.

It sounds like they are actually goign to hire soem of the mod creators to help them, becuase then he says "even if we have to get some people and bring them over ourselves".

Crazy dude.

[marichuu]

*deleted*

[Megaton]

I wonder which ones they'll be getting. There are tons of great mods and maps.

Snarf pack? Tiberium? Odysseus? Sharlow Street? Tokay Towers? Campgrounds 2k8? Siege Reactor? ...I could go on all day.

[Glad to be a gamer]

the fact that Epic are using this as a solution is commendable. I am cynical as well as to how they will manage to update this regularly as the mod scene progresses. I suppose we will see how it goes

Only problem is with ninja gaiden 2,Mgs4 and gta4 round the corner i wonder if gamers will pick this up?

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

We get mods, extra exclusive maps, and better graphics :)

[skynidas]

and u got it 8 months later

[Vip3r]

But no keyboard and mouse support. :)

[Bathyj]

You still wont buy it. Just like no one bought Virtua Fighter 5.

[MattFoley]

Not true there is an adapter.

[marichuu]

@Jason
I bet you won't even be able to tell the difference as the game is too fast for details.

@happyjimmy
That comment tells me more about you than him.

@Vip3r
If I wanted keyboard and mouse, I'd be playing on a PC... they just don't belong on consoles.

@Matt
Yes, which Microsoft doesn't approve.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

FEAR, Lost Planet, Oblivion, The Orange Box, Stranglehold, Blazing Angles 2, GRAW, Condemned 2, Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell DA, Medal of Honor, Fatal Inertia, Sonic, TimeShift, and The Darkness?

[Statix]

You mean you got a few mods (probably just a couple new game modes and maps) that they select for you.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

I can make a mod and distribute on Live, no matter how the process is done, I can still get my mod on Live. That would be called "mod support" no matter how you try and spin, if I can get my mod on Live then thats what it is.

[Statix]

No one knows the extent of the "mod support" in the 360 version, but I highly doubt it will be the same as the open architecture and system as the PS3 version, where anyone can download and install any mod they want. The mods have to be officially approved, sanctioned, and processed/reprogrammed by both Epic AND Microsoft's certification process before they can be distributed through XBL, which means you can say goodbye to playing with copyrighted assets/alternate game characters, or goodbye to some of the smaller, more obscure mods.

This is definitely not full-blown mod support like the PS3, for sure. This is more like Epic doing a favor to the disadvantaged 360 fans by porting a couple of the more major, popular mods that exist out there.

EDIT: And don't phantom-disagree with me just because I actually read the article, put up an informed, corroborated argument, and proved you wrong. You know who you are.

[Soren the Cat]

Who needs mods, extra maps, and a better graphics? I don't even look at that stuff!

[mistertwoturbo]

Seriously, the inconsistency is ridiculous. I could quote that UTIII "sucks" or "we'll be playing gears 2 instead" back when it first came out on the PS3. But now it comes out on the 360 all I see is "Yay, we have mods, splitscreen, and better graphics!"

I thought no one cared about UT III? I thought mods didn't matter? I thought all that was wanted was "5 official epic made" maps?"

[Ri0tSquad]

So it took them 8 months to get the feature...and whats your point again? Mark Rein is just trying give 360 owners a reason to buy a game PS3 owners have enjoyed months ago.

Jason360 continuously getting owned by the same garbage he spews out is becoming old news.

[Homicide]

I'm gonna point and laugh if you need to pay for mods.

[marichuu]

@Homicide
First you'll have to point and laugh at the ones who even buy the game :p
UT3 just isn't needed on the 360, Halo 3 is enough to keep the sci-fi fps fans happy. UT is just old and not fun.

[Bad_Karma]

you aint getting mods unless microsoft put them on XBL plain and simple and there is no way on this earth that you personally are gonna be uploading mods to XBL unless you work for Microsoft which you dont AND if you do get mods ,enjoy paying for them lol coz if microsoft can make a buck out of you they damn sure will regardless of what EPIC wants . As for you extra exclusive maps ..lol .. how long do you think it will take someone to cook those for PC and PS3 ? (if they are worth it ) .

[marichuu]

@2.16
Sorry to disappoint you, but Kane & Lynch just got a FREE addon on XBL :p

[Bad_Karma]

Sorry but the only thing disappointing about that is that they actually made DLC for such a shyte game ... OFC the DLC for it is free .. the game should be too .

[marichuu]

@2.19
Oh don't say that, if it was free I'd actually try the game xD

[skynidas]

Good for 360 owners now they can have the better from this game, cheers

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

HAHAHAHAHAHA----------------SL AP!!! you just got b!tch slapped!

[ScottEFresh]

PLEASE...this isn't the same thing as OPEN mods. You won't be able to d/l things off the net then just put it in with a USB stick. You'll have to WAIT just like your WAITING NOW until they "release" it on XBL. Awww too bad so sad...another gimped game thanks to the gimpbox 360.

[Doctor Who]

another rubbish x-P.C reject game i DON'T want for my Ps3

[Sony sucks balls]

I think Scott e is mentally retarded and that is why I won't make of fun of the window licker.

[Z F1GHT3RS]

KOJIMA JUST CREAMED IN HIS FACE AGAIN, " ITS NOT POWERFUL WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

[wow4u]

@1.5

You're delusional. Putting these mods on the Xbox 360 isnt a technical problem. Every word on the matter has always been "we need to work out how, because we want to maintain high reliability and security for the consoles and LIVE".

They dont want rampant cheating and security threats -- AND NEITHER DO I.

It would be *TRIVIALLY* easy to write a mod that launched a DDoS (or other disaster) to some kind of trigger. How about writing random garbage to your EEPROMS?

I dont want that junk on my console. I have the ability to restatge my PC, so I'm not worried about such things on my PC, but a console is *not* a PC.

All that said -- MS isnt screwing anyone. They're using their heads, Sony is going to get kicked in the balls for this and when they do, I expect *YOU* back here saying how MS was right all along.

[PSMonster21]

If by mods you mean three maps epic selects to put on the marketplace for 10 bucks then wooo YOU GET MODS!!! HAVE FUN!

[Pain]

wow talk a about hypocrites...then again u are Xbox fans ....

[RealTimeWeaponChange]

--Slobbering to get MGS? MGS4 looks like sh1t, Kojima said it himself. moron. ^ ^ ^ ^^ ^

---EPIC...F*CKING....PWNAGE.. .. IT's f*cking hilarious. Yeah, Live "cant" do mods. LMFAO. Right. Live destroys PSN. OF COURSE it can do mods, u morons. M$ just doesn't want any user made content f*cking anything up, n00bs.

[Statix]

For the very last time, THERE ARE NO MODS IN THE XB360 VERSION. If you would actually READ what Mark Rein is saying, and read the damn article, you'd realize that what he meant by "mods" is that they couldn't get Microsoft to allow the XB360 owners to freely install any mods they download, so they're doing a favor to the 360 fans by personally PORTING a COUPLE of the more popular mods themselves, by hand, and distributing them through XBL as downloadable add-ons (possibly for a price).

You people just DON'T GET IT: There are NO MODS FOR THE 360 version. What you'll basically end up getting, according to the words of Mark Rein, is probably around 5-6 extra game modes or so, and a couple new maps. This is compared to the 2000+ mods, maps, and characters that are available for free to the PS3 version of the game.

THERE ARE NO MODS ON THE 360 VERSION. Sorry to break it to the dyslexic 360 fans out there.

[Ali_The_Brit]

yeh WE got b!tch slapped... enjoy your game 3 months after we did

[happyjimmy]

He is talking about maps that you will have to buy at the cost of 15 bucks per map because it has to be sold through Live!

[pornflakes]

and the 360 version owned the PS3 like always.. nothing new.

[mrlokievil]

Not really. PS3 owners get to make their own and there are already tons of maps and characters available for free. 360 owners have to wait to see what epic decides to release. Not the same at all. You can also kiss any new characters goodbye because they wouldn't be allowed to release copy-righted characters through live.

[PSMonster21]

And you spew bullsh*t from your mouth again...nothing new.

[power of Green]

I try and tell PS3 fanboys to stop owning themselfs but they don't listen.

They create this fictional world on this site and try to make(people)believe. Now they're making excuses in the gamer zone saying its not full mod support holding on to any nonsense they can to comfort themselfs despite the 360 version being superior in every way. lol

[4cough]

The ps3 fails once again.

[poos3]

HAHAHAH THE PS3 IS GETTING OWNED left right and centre hahahah tons of new contetns and we also their their MODS ( which no 1 on this forums that has a ps3 uses or even has bought the crap game called ut3) well why didnt they fit all those news maps on the ps3 version of blue ray and it fits in dvd 9 hahaha retards

[PSMonster21]

Dude your my fu*king hero. I wish i could make comments like you. Damn amazing.

[Drealmcc0y]

We had this game 6 months ago

[brothersimon]

oh yeah?

well guess what, your version is outdated, we got the better version :-D

[Z F1GHT3RS]

JUST LIKE WE GOT THE !!!BETTER!!! VERSION OF VERTUA FIGHTER!!!!
!!!!!!!WITH ONLINE PLAY!!!!!!!!!! XD

DELAY THIS GEN BEYOND

[PSMonster21]

Well your system is outdated...we get the better one.

[lawman1108]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh thats right, YOU DON'T HAVE THEM YET!!!! ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha D3LAY STATION strikes AGAIN!! so don't go talking about how you had a C- game that is going to be better on the 360 anyway 4 months ago.

[kewlkat007]

Now I understand Unreal with Mod support has been sweet because
of the "open" architecture of the PC and now the PS3, but sheesh, when you look at it, every "shooter" could implement Mod support if they wanted to, but we still buy other shooters, that have "limited Maps", as well as "DLC maps" so "not worth buying" is ludicrous. You can still enjoy the game, just as any other shooter.

Does that mean if it had Mod support, PS3 fans would be praising it? Knowing it will look more polished + Mods? I doubt it, there would be some other sh^t to whine about or downplay.

So why does it matter, really, PS3 fans already have and played this game. Well I heard, hardly anyone playing it much online though.

I hear it all the time, if this game was to debut on the 360 first and the PC, we would of heard the "I'm getting it for PC, as it will be the best version". I rarely see 360 fans that said, "I'm getting it on the PC instead", when it came out for the PS3 and PC platform. There is always a reason why one would pick the PS3 version of a multi-plat game, even if the 360 version was superior in any way.

Perfect Example: Vip3r 2.3 - But no keyboard and mouse support. :)

Personally, I've taken a break from shooters. Been playing XBL + PSN games and RPG's. Waiting for fighters and probably NG2.

[Fishy Fingers]

Thing is, at is core UT is really a pretty shallow game experience. It's the mods that give it longevity and life. I'm not sure what you guys think are capable with mods, its not just maps or new cheats. It really is limitless, in theory, if you were good enough (say as good as Epic o_O), you could create Gears of War from the SDK.

[Bathyj]

Its not just shooters. Why doesnt R* give us mods on GTA? Can you imagine the potential of that. 10 times better than any DLC. Mods could bust that game wide open.

[Lumbo]

main fault with your argument is: hardly any "exclusive" games for the PS3 release on PC, ever.

Compared to most of the Xbox360 "exclusives" like Gears of war and Halo or Bioshock which released on PC shortly after their console debut or at the same time so far... That reduces the incentive to buy the system cause you can get the games on the PC you already have anyways.

Compared to the way exclusives are KEPT exclusive to the Playstation you will just have to buy the PS3 to play these games. You won't get FinalFantasy 13 on PC, you won't get MetalGearSolid4 on PC, you did not get Singstar on the PC, neither Resistance or Ratchet and Clank or Uncharted.

PS3 exclusives are real exclusive, you have to buy the system to get them, not only 'first' but at all.

And the typical fanboy point following that would be: but but but they are "timed exclusive" or "console exclusive" while both are laughable at best. Something is either EXCLUSIVE, or it is not. And if its on PC and xbox or PC and PS3 its not exclusive, its multiplatform :p There is no "little bit exclusive" like there is no "a little bit pregnant"

PS: that does not say that multiplatform games can't be good, quite contrary Gears of War was pretty good as was prolly Halo2 and Mass Effect (have not played either so i won't make any judgments here but people say they are good and reviews do, too). Its just that these fail as "system sellers" cause you don't need the system to play them ;)

And i wouldn't say people would buy the PC version over the console version if they own the console, but if they don't they neither need to buy the system to play, thats the point ...

####

reading this again i think i repeated myself, but i blame the tiny edit box :p im to lazy to rewrite it, just ignore the repetition

[marichuu]

@Bathyj
GTA is probably trying to be as realistic as possible. So stuff like low gravity or space weapons shouldn't exist... not even in mods.

GTA already has.. what was it? 16? different multiplayer modes. I don't think it's fair to ask more from R*.

[kewlkat007]

"main fault with your argument is: hardly any "exclusive" games for the PS3 release on PC, ever.
"

I'm just talking about this game, don't give a hoot about other PS3 Exclusitivty. That's another Topic.

I'm not gonna analyze every situation and every game. The PS3 doe snot share the same Architecture as the PC and Sony is not pushing Games for Windows Live initiative. We know this.

I guess this is one of the Exceptions, where it hits the PC and PS3, so thats that.

[Fishy Fingers]

You guys are funny as hell :)

Either you didnt read it, or didnt understand it. You do not get mod support, you'll get a few popular mods that MS approve and then place on Live (hopefully still for free). You will not be able to DL any of the thousands of MoDs online at your preference.

I'm sure I even remember some of you writing "who cares about UT anyway" back when it was released on PC/PS, strange that.

[Vip3r]

I noticed that too. Kinda funny how their getting all excited over something that isn't completely true.

XD

[wow4u]

Its kinda funny you two refuse to recognize what you just read.

Epic has just told you, "We know some of these great mods are going to play a role on Xbox 360, even if we have to get some people and bring them over ourselves," he said. "We'll figure it out."

So, it looks like Epic (and/or Midway and the LIVE people) will be providing the compiled Mods.

I think Xbox 360 owners will be *VERY* happy to know that their is some kind of security/quality control -- and they'll be happy to get the top X% of worthwhile mods.

In actuality, the Xbox 360 owners are getting the *BETTER* mod support. The PS3 owner is left to wonder about what kind of security risk or possible danger to his PS3 he's getting from some random mod.

While the Xbox 360 owner will be getting professional quality / security control distribution channel for his mods. Epic/Midway could set-up a nice Forge-Halo 3 bungie.net portal for Xbox 360 owners to review the mods, perhaps allowing for Download from the Web. Or, they could just deliver them in-game via the regular DLC method. Very nice, very elegant - no BS. Clean, quick, good.

In fact UT3 PS3 mods is a mis-mash mess of cruft, and the Xbox 360 will be getting the worthwhile mods with confidence for their security/quality.

PS3 UT3 mods < Xbox 360 UT3 mods.
PS3 UT3 "out of the box" < Xbox 360 UT3 "out of the box".

[CyberSentinel]

First the Krying Kojima's.

Then the non split screen for GTA4/PS3 exclusivity...

...and Now THIS! WHEN WILL YOU LEMMINGS LEARN? WE ALWAYS GET THE SUPERIOR VERSIONS! Next time do some investigating before you make claims lemmings...because that "split screen rumor for a very big game"...

...NEVER had nothing to do with GTA4. Get it into you heads lemmings, your SECOND CLASS TRASH!

I've had all the UT versions (PC and Xbox) since 1999 and now I WILL be pre-ordering this one!

@those that are saying we aren't getting FULL mod support, there are no shortages of FPS on the Xbox360, SOME are better then NONE, we will be getting the best ones, and M$ will make sure they are SAFE and WORKING PROPERLY! The very fact that we ARE getting user made mods is a BIG WIN! we can all make maps on our pc's. Now Back to my TIMED EXCLUSIVE COD4 NEW MAPS!!! -Snitches!

Blind Lemmings, I Can Not Wait To See The Luke Warm Sales Of MGS4 Make Sony Do A Kojima.

[RealTimeWeaponChange]

LMAO. I'M DOING ONE RIGHT NOW!!

*KOJIMAS :(*

[brothersimon]

lol and ps3 droids get owned..again.

[poos3]

ps3 droid: BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT
360 FAN :BUT BUT SHAT UR MOUTH STOP STUTTERING FOOL
THIS IS THE CONversion 360 fan and ps3 fans have been having on this site we always make u droids shut ur mouth

[ScottEFresh]

"well guess what, your version is outdated, we got the better version"

LOL this is what bots say when they have to WAIT for a game.

[brothersimon]

okay lets review this situation

xbox live
EXCLUSIVE SPLITSCREEN
EXCLUSIVE 5 NEW MAPS AND 2 NEW CHARACTERS
mods
achievements
better controllers for fps games
better system
epic even says it looks and plays better on 360

if u want sources, go search 'ut3' on here :)

i aint even a fan of ut, but sounds to me like ps3 got owned, and we have the version worth waiting for

might even end up buying it, dunno.. ;D

[wow4u]

A PS3 owner bringing up "waiting" for anything is just TOO funny.

How do you like Virtua Fighter 5 Online? Oh, you dont. How about the Oblivion Expansions? Oh, did you know the last one was free for Xbox 360 owners? There are *dozens* of other instances. Ace Combat 6? Eternal Sonata? Fcuk, those last two are _Japanese_ games!

By the time PS3 gets up to speed and is remotely worthwhile to own, they'll be giving out BluRay players free with cellphone purchases.

Face it, you guys got snookered for Sony's MPAA division. Sony doesnt care about games, they care about preserving their DVD-sales revenue.

[Z F1GHT3RS]

YOU ARE TELLING US ABOUT WAITING FOR A GAME.
OH WHATS THAT.... I CANT HEAR YOU....... TAKE SONYS DIK OUT YOUR MOUTH AND TALK PROPERLY DRONE.
LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A GAME FOR 2 YEARS.

DELAY AND WAIT BEYOND
PHONEY

[AngryTypingGuy]

This game looks cool. I'm glad that mods are coming to the 360 version, even if they are not open mods, which could possibly come at a later date.

I'm undecided for this game. I may get it, or I may wait until the main event, Gears of War 2.

[SL1M DADDY]

Will these be maps and mods that MS forces Epic to charge for?

[Delive]

That's probably a difficult answer. Common sense says yes, from past experience with Gears maps Epic wanted to make free. They started at a Fee, but went free later. If MS could force the hand and make us pay for a map pack that Epic made, would Sony follow suit? Or would Epic say "Well, they have to pay for it, so you do too PSN"? Then the PC would be the only choice for free mods from Epic.

[SL1M DADDY]

At the moment, the PSN offers an open network where user created mods are free just as they are on the PC and due to MS's closed network, they have the power to force developers to charge for DLC. It seems to be a way for MS to make the buck even if the developer keeps the price low and refuses a profit at the expense of their fan base. I do wonder if it is the closed network that forces this and that we see how the open network of the PSN allows for more generous devs to keep the extra content free. In reality, the PSN doesn't have much to do with the mods for the PS3 version as they are all able to be downloaded on your PC then uploaded to your PS3 circumventing the network all together. No need to download them through the Sony PSN so no work on Sony's part thus they are free.

[Delive]

I guess what I was referring to was the downloaded pack released 3 weeks ago (or so). Epic remade some of their old maps and released them free on PSN. If they do this on Live, would it be free there too? If not, would Epic start to charge for their own content, not the user generated content.

[MrBii]

You either extremely stupid or you are illiterate.

Nothing was said in the article that we didnt know about half a year ago.

YOU ARENT GETTING ANY MOD SUPPORT. YOU ARE GETTING A FEW POPULAR MODS AS A DIRECT DOWNLOAD BY EPIC.

There is a big difference between the two.

PS3 has a shiatlod of MODS at the moment. You are getting a few out of that shiatload. DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW, RETARDED XBOT.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Can I make a mod on my PC and get it up on the 360? uhhhhhh, yup. So stfu, stop crying you lost.

[MrBii]

Uh no.

Are you illiterate or just plain stupid.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

"We know some of these great mods are going to play a role on Xbox 360, even if we have to get some people and bring them over ourselves," he said. "We'll figure it out."

Is it even possible for you to get dumber than you already are? Were you born stupid, or did you get this way by accident? Spend alot of time banging your head against a wall as a child did we, or did you eat to many lead paint chips?

[PimpHandHappy]

you will notice you have been disagreed with. dont worry. Thats the bots and there multiple accounts

They want to take Mark Riens word that it looks better then the PS3 version. What they dont realize is this dude is just trying to sell his game. He knows the small market share MS has really bites hard on "are game looks better" talking points

here is the thing

Not many ppl who post here have the trained eye to see the difference!

have fun paying for your limited mods MS slaves

[wow4u]

"He knows the small market share MS has really bites hard on "are game looks better"

Wow, what colour is the sky on Planet Stupid?

Last time I checked, 10M PS3s was much less than 18M Xbox 360s.

*AND* As for marketshare, well, the Xbox 360 has the HIGHEST ATTACH RATE in HISTORY.

You know how many copies of UT3 Epic sold on PS3? 410,000. Can you imagine that?

UT3 on PS3 is 30th on the list of top selling PS3 games, with 410,000 copies.

If a Game sold 410k on Xbox 360, it would be *82nd* in the sales list.

Turok, F.E.A.R., Scene It?, Condemned, The Darkness, EA NBA 08 LIVE **ALL OUTSOLD*** UT3 on PS3.

What does that tell you about "marketshare".

The fact is that the PS3 is SOLIDLY in last place the world over, and the games just arent selling.

There are more people paying for the premier Online Service Xbox LIVE than there are PS3s on the planet FFS.

IN NO WAY can PS3 be considered a leader in the marketplace. When this generation is over, the PS3 is going to become a cast-study in failure. From 1st straight to last. Utter failure.

[AngryTypingGuy]

Mr. Bii, I don't know if you were talking to me or not, since I was the post right above you, but I said "I'm glad that mods are coming to the 360 version, EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT OPEN MODS". I know that we're not getting the open mods, at least not right away. Learn to read moron.

[MrBii]

I ask again, xbot, are you ILLITERATE OR WHAT!?

Mark Rein: "We know SOME of these great mods are going to play a role on Xbox 360, even IF WE have to get some people and bring them over ourselves," he said. "We'll figure it out."

So where did it say you can make a mod on your PC and port it over to the 360? On the contrary my stupid xbot friend. Rein pretty much confirms here that there is no mod support and that EPIC is uploading some of these mods on XBOX LIVE so you stupid xbots can enjoy 1/10th of the game us PS3 owners have been enjoying since december.

OWNED
The article pretty much confirms what I have been saying and not what you claim.

Stupid boy.

Learn how to read.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Here let me use some pop up books, and some finger paints to paint you a picture.

"So where did it say you can make a mod on your PC and port it over to the 360?"

How else are the mods going to get to the 360 or PS3, other than using PC? Can we magically sh!t mods from our asses, then get them on a console? What if we use fairy dust and sprinkle the mods on the console? Better yet lets teleport the mods there, or use a black hole generator or gravity gun. No......? well then I guess I'll just have to use a PC.

"even IF WE have to get some people and bring them over ourselves"

That means they will get the mods on the marketplace for people to download and play using the copy of UT3 they purchased, "somehow".

I even used the quote you put up, thats right "you" put it there and you still don't f*cking get it.

F*cking dunce

[MrBii]

THEY DIDNT SAY YOU COULD PORT MODS OVER. THEY SAID THEY WILL BRING IT TO YOU, IDIOT.

[RodStewart]

The mods are what make UT3 a great buy. It's like going shopping with no cash.

[gEnKiE]

This guy is eating his own words.... I thought he said that PS3 owners get mods and 360 owners get split screen? That would make the difference between the two....

[gEnKiE]

I love it NOW how you want this game but trashed it when it was a timed exclusive for the PS3.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Nobody trashed it other than it not being as good as previous UT's, and fans were asking for a little extra do to the wait. Looks like those fans got what they wanted. They didn't trash UT3, they trashed UT3 on your system, big difference.

[justgamez]

The game is garbage. It doesn't sell. Nobody plays it anyway. Gears 2 will be a 100x better. UT was never a good game to begin with. Now there will be mods in a very limited, undetermined capacity with no mouse and keyboard support and possible fees to boot.

"We are getting the superior version"
WOW!

It never ceases to amaze me the hypocrisy you hear on gaming sites and forums.

[gEnKiE]

wow.... the irony of some people.

[AbyssGravelord]

I already have it for the PS3 but its good to know that the 360 gets the great mods that the ps3 version has.

I still can't get over playing as cloud in Master Chief armour!

[Statix]

You won't be able to play as MC, Samus, or Solid Snake in the 360 version, unfortunately (you know, for copyright and legal reasons...). This isn't like the open modding system which is in the PS3; this is basically just DLC in the form of a couple new game types and maps, which they may or may not charge you for. That's what they mean by bringing you the "top mods" for UT3. They mean that Epic has to officially acquire them, process them, and distribute it through XBL themselves.

[mistertwoturbo]

They might be able to pull off the Master Chief model, but I wouldn't count on any Final Fantasy characters. Seeing as how Square Enix threatened to sue some korean singers for "looking" like final fantasy chracters already. I highly doubt they'd let actual close character models like Cloud Strife or Zack Fair be published by anybody else but themselves.

[Stryfeno1]

Even with Mods, exclusive maps and characters, and better graphics, this game is still unworthy of my $60...However, throw in a Gears 2 beta then I'll pick it up.

[justgamez]

Now this is not hypocrisy. This is brutal honesty and a man sticking to his guns. Rare breed indeed.

[Chubear]

It's not the kind of MODs the PS3 fanbase have access to. It's limited and a variety of parameters but Epic is just gun-ho on making sure something tangiable is there for their game on the 360.

[lodossrage]

I didn't want to say it, but you said it instead man. But yeah, many people only read the headline without reading the actual link. And it shows by some of the comments made here.

The only thing Rein CONFIRMED is talking with MS to find ways around to put some mods on.

Some of you need to read the articles in full. Not JUST the n4g headline

[pp]

i feel sorry and sad for ps3 fan boys who brought UT3 for ps3.while we get to enjoy split screen .better graphics i could go on and on but i'll stop there i'm making you ps3 fan boys cry

[White-Sharingan]

I wonder what will be better

The 360 version that will probably cost $60, limited mod support and without the support of a keyboard out of the bat

or

PS3 version that by that time will cost $40 or less and have unlimited mod support and keyboard support without the need of buying an extra attachment

hmmm........

http://www.ps3fanboy.com/20...

;]

[Palodios]

Epic just cut the price of UT3 for the ps3 and pc down to 40 dollars yesterday.

[Bombomb]

I bet you there will be more gamers playing ut3 on xbl then psn.

really thats what devs wanna see..the game sold like crap on the ps3 for an epic game.

and its hardly played, now due to the fact cod4 kicks ass but still those are measly numbers.

epic knows where the money is at. they gave ps3 a bone to chew on so they stop the whining imo.

[Palodios]

Yeah, but UT for the ps3 was pretty lacking. They rushed it out with a pitiful single-player mode, with crummy enemy AI and no multiplayer. The gameplay is fast, steady and incredible, but it was pushed under the carpet with a mysterious December release, and it really isnt worth a purchase for non-online players. It wouldnt be so bad, but I had a lot of trouble connecting online, so it really destroyed the game for me.

[Avto]

They'll pick the mods they think best and make X360 versions of em but this mods will have to be approved by MS so when they come on X360 they'll be month or two old.

[Says you]

I suppose you guys didn't read at all you guys did just read the title you have to pay the mod that is making it you guys are just extremely stupid.

[TitanUp]

3rd party developers have no love for ps3

[mistertwoturbo]

I have to agree, but just as long as I get MGS4, FFXIII, Full GT5, and God of War III. The PS3 can diminish if they want to lol.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

It's just that...this started out as an exclusive.

Then, it went multi-plat, but the 360 version was pushed back.

Now, we can forget that...because the 360 version is getting split-screen AND mods.

Gotta love the PS3 support, ya know?

At least Insomniac can include all the features of an FPS under a time constraint. You guys can't do it on your own time? Give me a break.

[PimpHandHappy]

it is now 2008 and this game is way outdated

but let me say

it will sell on the 360 because they will need another FPS to add to the collection of FPS's

plus they dont have many games anyway in 2008 so yea

it will sell

[wow4u]

Perhaps you missed this story:
http://www.n4g.com/News-136...

The fact is that the PS3 games are getting *WORSE*.

Oh, and the three best selling exclusive PS3 games? All shooters:

Resistence, Uncharted and R&C.

So, you can stuff it. Shooters sell best across all the consoles.

[RealTimeWeaponChange]

lol owned. wow, he's dumb.

[PimpHandHappy]

dont feel sorry for anyone but yourself

if your hyped about a RUN OF THE MILL FPS then i guess your playing the right system

I owned and played this game months ago and COD blows this crap out of the water

go pay for your mods fools

[PimpHandHappy]

im sure you can go on and on

so can anyone without proof to back up the claims. Proof in this case is the retail game in the hands of gamers!

Im sure you know what Loose Change was

if you dont then your out of touch and gaming is all you know

Well that stupid kid that made Loose Change went on and on also and guess what....nothing he said had facts or truth to back up his claims

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Need your baba? your so cunfused you had to type three comments in a row. Whats real bad is that you were one of the Droids talking sh!t about 360 not getting mods. :)

Not been a good couple weeks for you droids has it? lots of baaaaad news. Here let me refresh your memory. :)

UT3 better graphics, mods, split screen, exclusive maps, MGS4 devs said graphics on PS3 suck, Lost NA in NPD, GTA selling better on 360, 360 7.5 attach rate, install after install on the PS3, Quake Wars looks like sh!t on the PS3, and 360 stomping PS3's ass in game sales. Bad PS3 week. XD

[wow4u]

@18.1

You forgot the worst news of all, straight from Kojima himself:

"But the graphic, side things like motion-blending and the size of the map, totally was not accomplished to my original vision - to my satisfaction."

"when we actually started developing the game, we realized there were a lot of restrictions and so it turned out how you see it today."

"I remember saying three years ago that we wanted to create something revolutionary, but in reality we couldn't really do that because of the CPU. We're using the Cell engine to its limit., actually"

Translated: The PS3 sucks.

[Reibooi]

The Mod support for the 360 version is gonna suck. Even if they do publish the good mods they will either A) have a possibility of not being free and B) will come way later then the PC and PS3 crowd gets them. It's really sad MS acts as if mods are the end of the world when they really extend a games life. Alot more people would buy something like Halo 3 if you could mod it for example.

[Whoooop]

I guess bots have to get exited about an outdated game... They also need to get exited about controlled mods... lol

They get exited about an RTS and an outdated game which you can get on the PS3 and on PC with "full freedom of mods"...

That's how good their line-up is this year lol...

We understand fellas... Get exited, you have the right to.

:)

[Exile__]

This game wasn't that spectacular from the beginning in my opinion.. mods just liven up the game.

[PimpHandHappy]

oh wait sorry this is your 360 name

dont come at me kid

Unless you think getting limited mods is the same as having unlimited mods off the bat

hey can you send/post that MGS devs say PS3 sucks article! Read my Loose Change comment

I just want to read that because thats the first i heard of it

and Jason

Sony didnt lose NPD in anyway. The PS3 outsold your 360 in its first 4 months of 08 and in total the PS3 has sold more in NA in 2008. Yea the 5000 more the 360 sold did not make up the differnce let alone the diffence when the rest of the world is added. Why dont we add in PS2 PSP and PS3 sales! Lets see who made the most money by NPD numbers! Yea Jason Sony is still King

and btw Jason

You shouldnt do the thinking for others. For you to say its been a bad couple weeks for the Sony droids is wrong. If you played Warhawk or liked GT5 then you would know its been a good couple weeks....

[t-0_ot-]

Just thought I'd say... ahahahahah to all the PS3 fanboys. Look the xbox gets all previous mods. As for "open mods" then this works just as well "This suggests the possibility of Epic trading in mods as downloadable content"

[lodossrage]

How many of you actually READ the article??

Does anyone even realize how limited the 360 mods will be? The ps3 and pc share over a hundred right now because they are open systems. The 360 are only going to get a select few. The mods for the ps3 and pc will go on for years people. The 360 won't have a frequent stream of mods. Just a few here and there. And there might even be a chance you may have to pay for them. I'll stick with my ps3 version on this one fellas. Plus I'm not buying the same game over again for the 360

[t-0_ot-]

I find it hilarious people are "all of a sudden" saying that UT3 is an outdated game.. it's too funny.

[lodossrage]

I'm just questioning the kind of support mods will get on 360

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

Wow that title was so damn misleading I thought it would have full mod support, not oh I'll give you a few mods which I thought were good.

[Angelitos]

Uhh, Epic- the biased 360 company

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

To be honest with you, they just want it to sell well when they release it on the 360. News like this could get hype back up for a starving 360 community.

[Clinton514]

Sounds like it's going to be an overly regulated system. I don't see how certain clowns are bragging about that?

I mean, it's not all bad. It's better than no mods at all.

[Bladestar]

all that crap about the xbox 360 not having mod now is reduced to nothing... all the effort and time spent by the anti xbox 360 collition to destroy the xbox 360 were all a wasted... I said it before... it's only a matter of time before microsoft allows mods... not brainer... when is safe and it will be allowed...

ohh wait... anti-xbox 360 don't waste time... now they are not letting it go... now is "limited mod, keyboard and mouse"... how do you know? wasn't enough that this announcement proved how full of it each one of you is? It will probably have better modding than the PS3 has since the PC version probably has more similarities between the xbox 360 than the PS3... since the xbox 360 and the PC are way similar and even have DirectX in common...

also why are you so proud of saying that the PS3 version only cost $40? do you know why it cost that much?

Do you know how much Gears of war cost? $59.99

How about COD4? $59.99

Resistance: Fall of Man? $59.99

Game drop in price when they DONT SELL.. when they flop! not when people like it....

Do you know why Epic is trying so hard to make this game good for the xbox 360? because they made a mistake by releasing it for the PS3 first... and cross your fingers that this game does not sell like hot cakes on the xbox 360.. because if it does... you will see EPIC support for the xbox 360 go even greater since it will prove that the xbox 360 is their bread and butter...

you may say... but.. but. but... they made the xbox 360 better duhh is going to sell more... well... you didn't know that a few days ago... you though no mod... you though it was not going to have all the content the PS3 has and you didn't know it will have mods and even exclusive maps... and that didn't stop the game from flopping on the PS3...

I remember EPIC talking smack about microsoft and so Pro PS3... and look at them now... which should teach them not to "$h!t on the place you eat"...

[Clinton514]

All that bs you write is basically for nothing.

As for your game prices garbage, pricing has nothing to do with your convoluted fankid view of a game.

You're pretty much the reflection of some of the most bitter gamers. Upset because UT3 was on the PS3 first. Don't play it then. You'll miss out.

Have a good weekend.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Each and everyone of them have to back out and spin, because they all have their feet stuck firmly in their mouths. Ever since the release of UT3 on the PS3 they been boasting about mods, and when the game went multiplatform they all said "360 won't get mods" now they change the tune and are saying "it's not real mod support" or "you don't have keyboard and mouse". Look at all the excuses they had when they found out the 360 version would have eclusive maps and better graphics, they even said "only reason your getting maps is because your not getting mods". Well... here we are with mods, and the excuse bucket is empty for the PS3 fans.

this is the truth
Make a mod on my PC and upload it to the PS3 = mod support
Make a mod on my PC and upload it to the 360 = mod support

But to them its more like this
Make a mod on my PC and upload it to the 360 = not "real" mod support

If I make a map or skin on a PC, and someone downloads it over Live, it's a mod, plain and simple. Know why they are trying to spin this? because each and everyone of them is guilty of talking trash, and instead of stepping up to the plate like men, they try and weasel their way out of it.

[Statix]

Oh my god... you really are another dyslexic fellow who didn't the article, or even the summary. THERE IS NO TRUE MOD SUPPORT FOR THE XB360. READ THE ARTICLE.

[LinuxGuru]

Haha....Epic is going to have to release it through Xbox Live and they're going to have to charge for it too.

The only way epic will be able to release mods onto Xbox Live is to somehow gain control over the mods people make, and then somehow figure out how to release them on Xbox Live free of charge, which is no small feat.

I still do not foresee total freedom to distribute and download mods like the PS3 version. It's just not possible on a closed-type network like Live.

I will still be sticking with my PS3 version of UT III, not only because of freely distributed mods, but because of USB mouse and keyboard support, and the optional install that makes loading times extremely short.

[DJ]

It'd be better if Microsoft just LET 360 owners use any mods they want, but...the Xbox Live way is better than nothing. They better not charge money!!

[midgard229]

im glad 360 owners get some mods, only thing is its way better on ps3, where its better than nothing, nothing beats going to ur comp, making something and slappin it in the ps3 and playing it, something you've created. 360 owners just get to experience some of them but almost never their own. also doubt u will be getting character mods like master chief, spawn, cloud, locust and all the cool ones, including making ur own armor jet packs ect.

so while yes u guys waited 8 months and got better graphics, us ps3 guys still have the better end of it, we get freedom of choice and creation, u get left overs. and yeah lol the mods on 360 better be free

[bootsielon]

Microtards are rejoycing, but they haven't read the article. This will be a highly controlled environment, so 1. you won't get as many mods, as PS3 and 2. you won't get the best, most controversial, copy-righted and obscure mods.

[PimpHandHappy]

all the effort and time spent by the anti xbox 360 collition to destroy the xbox 360 were all a wasted

we can say the same thing about this site in 2007 and you would have been in the short list of the anti Playstation 3 collition

and btw

Epic made Unreal good on the PS3 but the fact remains it doesnt stand up to COD. No matter what mod you have or use

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

And the PS3 owners can't get split-screen?

Sorry, Mark.

No longer an Epic fan.

That's just plain inconsiderate.

[hazardman]

very good news indeed....

[Salta_nelas]

LoL..its not open mods, probably they come on the disck or Epic will release some on a official pack.

[ambientFLIER]

I would much rather get 100 high quality and most popular mods on the 360, than 1000 crappy mods that some 10 year old kid made on the PS3

[PimpHandHappy]

and not the biggest fan of FPS then Unreal is lame

i have only been online gaming for maybe 3 years. Socom3 was my first online experince. For me thats what online gaming should be. Ranked rooms where all you could use was a pistol! Just a example of what i liked about Socom. 3rd person view is also what i like in my games

When it comes to FPS i can almost say no game this year will match COD. I want to say RFOM2 will be better online with its 60ppl and 8ppl co-op but that has yet to be seen. I really liked RFOM1 online so maybe it will top it.

KZ will in no way top COD or even RFOM2. The story mode might look better then both COD and RFOM2, in my mind if it doesnt its still good enough to enjoy, but the online play will be a total let down compared to the few real good FPS online games

HALO
COD
RFOM
UNREAL
Vegas

Unreal is good but if it lacks in anything its a wow factor

[gosmokeashotgun101]

The 360 version gets better graphics, mods, split screen, xbox live, and probably better updates. Way to go epic u really failed a ton of people with this game. I think most of us where expecting so much more out of this game. They hyped it to oblivion thats for sure. O and believe me I read the article I don;t care how limited the mod support is. I would rather be able to play split screen with my bros then play mods that take forever to make.

[midgard229]

i returned UT3 because i cudnt play split screen with my bros. epic sux lol, and y cant ps3 just get a patch like they said they were gonna do? cuz they freakin lazy and concentratin on gears 2.

[Charlie2688]

While its good they are doing the best they can bringing the mods this hardly sound like any confirmation beyond the usual "we are gonna try"

and this rises even more question...if the point of mods is having a massive amount of constantly growing user generated content of every kind...if you start separating it, choosing "some" as Mark said then they are no longer what we know as "MODs" but simple "add-ons" we have already seen in multiple games and what or who determines what you want? wasn't that the purpose of MODs to allow the public to freely select what they wanted from an infinity and constantly growing variety? (with out any restriction)

this idea of bringing "some" (and probably controlled ones) sounds severely flawed the way mark is putting it since it defeats the purpose of MODs

[PR0NE]

exactly... that sums it up, anyway, for non-ps3 owners, you can always get the pc version, anyway i'll keep my fingers crossed until i see the sales on the 360, i don't expect to sell as much or much more than the ps3 version, anyway ut3 is a niche market game, i think that most of the people who wanted to buy it have already bought it...

[tatotiburon]

so from 200000 mods available in PC and PS3 i can get the best ones in Xbox Live? pretty cool, and better graphics and exclusive maps? that's something

[Spydr07]

Who cares? UT has a very selective fan base who play the game. Epic did nothing with UTIII to add any innovation to the title and draw new customers to it. It's the same game it was ten years ago with better looking shiny stuff.

Killing with the same six or so weapons gets old after a while.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Try 12 weapons...

and 15 vehicles...

Go Halo yourself!

[Spydr07]

Compare UT to a franchise with three installations that outsold all of the Unreal games combined and kills it in the ratings.

Regardless, the game is average and its only redeeming quality on the PS3 was that it allowed mouse and keyboard support. It still offered nothing to attract new players to the game.

it's all over for sony and it's fan boys i'll guess 2008 isn't giong to be sonys year after all. its giong to be xbox360's year. better luck in 2009

[Varsarus]

Finally the bots can enjoy some good news.

[DomUltra]

You win some, you lose some, but hey who's not getting "San Andreas" sized expansions? LMFAO YOU LOSERS. God I love it, 50 million buys you jackshit, Rockstar are laughin' all the way to the bank, have fun with a one year old game by the way, and the fact your getting 1% of the thousands of mods out there, just dandy, your version is still gimped.

Did any of you actually read the article? They're bringing some select mods over, a handful, it's not an open system, hell theres a chance you might have to PAY for them. Next time read the article fellas.

[memots]

All i heard from Xbox360 fan is that Unreal Tournament III was not a so called "AAA" title anyway.

And of course now that its coming to the 360 this version is somehow better?
no i'm not a fanboy i got both console. Just think its ironic.

[ElementX]

Sure it's coming out 8 months later, but UT3 for 360 development was PUT ON HOLD for the end of last year until the PS3 version was out. Look it up.

http://www.xbox360fanboy.co...

So you can't say there was a full 8 months more development time.

[Iron Man 2]

It's just too bad you Xbox slaves will have to pay Micromess for the limited mods you douchebags will be getting while PLAYSTATION®3 UTIII players/owners are getting everything free of charge,you know what else Shane Kim thinks is funny? You Xbox slaves try to bash PLAYSTATION®3 fans by telling them they are waiting beyond...have you Xbox slaves looked in the mirror yet?...enjoy waiting!;)

$hane

[TheJBag]

they wont have to pay for them, that would be LAME

[ElementX]

If you have to pay, I'm sure the money will go to the developers. MS can't charge for content unless they have a contract to do so.

[RAM MAGNUMS]

mr. Rein can be quoted when asked what was his fave version, pc or ps3? He said I love all my children and left it at that.
if history repeats itself it will proove that epic will make as much money as they can from the paying gamers of xbox.
Then run back to Sony to make another game & doing more ps3 development.
because I'm sure they think the xbox is nothing but a lightbulb with insurance & soon to be extinct technology.
But since people keep paying to play at the arcades. Epic gets that money! Trust & Love that they think they are the best!
Mark rein I'll ask you again. What's your favorite version? The idiots lightbulb & its fun while it last fan base or the cult following on the pc or the open & ever expanding ps3 with its hungry gamers & technological marvel of a hybrid console?

[thereapersson]

I love the ignorance of the Open Zone. It's nice to see people insulting each other over a piece of software. What I also find funny is how many people on this site complain that Sony fans are always the ones insulting and spamming against other users here. It's the same in every section of this damn website - everyone insulting everyone else. It's not limited to a certain demographic, regardless of what people think.

Fanboys need a life.

In other news, I will be buying this for my XBOX 360 for the splitscreen when my friend comes over, however I will mostly play the PS3 version more because I can use the mouse and controller combo. Mouse and KB is rather awkward, but it does work if you hold a controller in one hand and use the mouse with the other. I map ALT fire to L1 / Mouse 3, and regular fire to Mouse 1. Jump is mouse 2, and switch weapons is the scroll wheel. Works great. I also like the freedom of being able to go to UT3MOD.com and download maps to my portable HDD and then jump into the game and upload them without the need for a computer.

[JVIDICAN]

that sounds confusing lol

[VMAN_01]

Its funny because those exclusive maps for the 360 can just be made on unreal editor and imported to PS3 not so exclusive now.

[CViper]

to put on xbl.

Microsoft is completely missing the point about UT3, and missing what their gamers want for it. Why the hell would I want THEM picking and choosing what free content I should have? Sure people like Jason360 can pretend that #1 they are fans of unreal #2 they are going to buy unreal for the 360 #3 that UGC/DLC isn't a big deal for unreal...

But for the rest of us here that probably have played it, and know that the Unreal Community is what makes the game interesting. Lets face it, its been the same game we have been playing for years. Mods keep it fresh, and being able to create your OWN content on the fly definitely keeps it attractive. There is almost something interesting to download weekly if you aren't talented as well.

Someone should make a petition to just Boycott unreal until MS accepts mods, whats the worst that could happen from DLC? Your system could die?

[VMAN_01]

Yeh sucks how its all regulated they'll just be maps and characters that epic have created, no master chief, crysis dude or snake, no crazy 2D mods or even 3rd person mods.

[Rocko]

No more excuses, 360 gets another superior multiplat. Sucks to be a droid LOL.

[bootsielon]

In a highly controlled way. How does it feel to have to make a second account in order to meet an agenda? Hey everyone, remember that racist piece of sh1t called panzerfaust? It's this guy, look at his profile.

[Rocko]

I simply changed my name.

[Lookbehind]

They scam the best ones from Ps3 and give em to the 360? Ah well I'll be playing something else by then,

[sleepbox]

Never have I ever seen so much noise about such a crappy game.

[Power off Green]

HA HA HA HA! unlike the PS3 where you can get ANY mod you want in minutes off your pc to your Playstation, or even get them off the INTERNET BROWSER WHICH THE BRICK OF A RROD DOESNT HAVE!, but xbots have to wait like a seal waiting for a treat for there stupid chosen mods, enjoy your crappy 3 month old game xbots!

[JokesOnYou]

So now Epic is going to kiss 360 fans ass, after they were talking crap about micro/360 when the game was about to be released for ps3, lmfao talk about a change of heart.

Well I guess thats what happens when your game flops on the other console and ironicly sony faithful swear the mods are so important yet everyone knew from the start the ps3 version would have mod support yet the game didn't sell.

Now Epic is bending over backwards to ensure the 360 version will sell, telling the media *ps3 version will NOT be getting split screen while hyping better graphics, exclusive 360 maps, split screen, and putting the best mods on the 360 version, ha ha and now the same sony loyalists are here to tell us, "ha its not full mod support", yes once again you guys have it all figured out.

JOY
