Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
See, they decided to have a free-play weekend for UT3. For three days you could play it at no charge, then decide if it's worth the $12 to buy it. This is a brilliant idea in theory, in reality the Steam servers were brought to their knees as tens of thousands of people attempted to download an 8GB game at once.
For those of us who owned the game ahead of times, it's been fun playing with the new content. For those who were interested and were legitimately looking forward to playing... they were stuck waiting for their epically slow download to finish until about the second day of the free weekend.
Also, I figured that's why Steam had been having some trouble lately. Sucks about the PS3 update, though.
