Do you or anyone you know still play Unreal Tournament 3 on PC? Drop what you are doing and listen up, for an enormous patch containing the gaming equivalent of the cure for cancer and a new bonus content pack are on the horizon.
The patch, which contains no more than one billion individual items, can be viewed here. Most notable, at least from the perspective of an achievement-lover such as myself, is the inclusion of 57 Steam achievements the update will bring.
But all of that is only part one in the grand scheme of things. Part two, dubbed the Titan Pack, is said to be "substantially bigger than any bonus pack" Epic Games has previously released.
I'm sure this is very exciting for the several avid UT3 players in the audience. I haven't managed to pull myself away from UT2004's addicting grip long enough to progress up to UT3, but that's just me.

The temple map forces you to learn how to use these mechanics to their fullest.. and it's not even an Epic Games map!
I've played the new one on the xbox and PS3.. They've removed the dodge and jump mechanics.. which makes for a more boring game in my opinion. I honestly didn't like UT until I found out that they put these neat dodge-jump mechanics in.
Also: the shock rifle looks like crap when compared to the 2k4 one.
and also also: try playing EXCESSIVE UT2k4. it's a BLAST.
Also, can we please get an auto-updater? Seriously, Epic. What the fuck?
Seeing as I'm working on a UT3 mod for class, I'm both excited and worried. I fear that about half of the work already finished will have to be redone. We'll see.
Removed the Doge/Jump mechanic? I'm not following you too well, but I dodge and double jump just fine. And if you mean that weird dodge then jump (while still in mid dodge) then oh well. Never missed it and the game is fast enough as is. I hope more people play though, those that do are mostly elitist pricks.
After coming off of TF2 into UT3, it's quite a different game, and too many people I've played with just don't want to put up with noobs and stack teams with known associates against nubs. Lucky for me I'm a persistent bastard who likes a challenge. But I believe that to be the primary reason many don't play. First few experiences are filled with insults and name calling (beyond the fun sportsman like humor in gaming).
That would be some kind of awesome, if there were any mods worth installing in the first place :|
Sure there are two solutions available for people with ATI hardware, but I'm using Geforce 8600GTS.
