We're still trying to get over the shock of the
PS3 actually getting the game first, but it would seem that the Xbox 360 version of
Unreal Tournament III is chugging along nicely for that rumored May release date. Mark Rein recently stopped by the Epic
forums to assure Xbox 360 owners that however painful it may be, the wait will be well worth it. He was shy on details, but pointed to Midway's Gamers Day Event as the place where more information about the game would be revealed.
Long wait aside, the only sticking point we can think of this time is the past revelation that 360 gamers won't be able to enjoy part of what makes the game so fulfilling in the first place: mods. Thanks to spots like ut3mod.com, PS3 owners have been showered with maps and skins for the game since it was released last December. Epic is hoping that Xbox 360 owners will let this one slide, since the game already has more than enough fast-twitch gameplay to satisfy any cravings on its own, but how this will ultimately affect sales after it is released is yet to be determined.
Of course, nothing's stopping Microsoft from stepping in and turning that near-impossibility (of having mods available for the system) into reality -- and gaining favor with the fans. Plan on taking the plunge when it's released, Xbox 360 owners?

and achievements don't cut it here either.
And if it has mods, you'll have to shovel over money for them.
Also Gameboi you came online but you didn't join in??? WTF!

Hmm. I smell trolling and fanboyism.
Stating preference is fanboyism? Shit I guess that makes everyone who only owns 1 system a fanboy. Also didn't I read a number of cblogs recently on how this word needs to be retired?
Don't mind Alex, he can't get pussy so he takes it out on girls on the internet.
It suddenly all makes sense.
Of course you would not be able to get mods like you would for the PS3. Epic may pick the best of the best as offer it a free DLC. The Xbox is a very closed enviroment and it has it's advantages and disadvantages. With the Microsoft's strict standards, issues like the PS3 Rock Band guitar patch won't happen.
She didn't do anything wrong. Alex provoked it. Quit taking yourself, and everything so seriously.
But that's okay, i can see why you wouldn't understand that.
also any future issues with what I said can be directed towards my PM box. kthnxbai.
and people with out a mouse on the game are to easy to kill. it's like you are dodging bullets in slow motion on side the matrix all the time you can watch them come at you and aiming is even slower.
the xbox version you will not even get a mouse and keybaord to speed it up the normal PC speed it should play it like on PS3. It reminds me of the horrible ps2 and dreamcast ports of
UT99 and quake 3.
Besides the fact playung with a FPS game pad is worse than playing XBOX live side scrolling shooters with the xbox 350 d-pad. In fact that would be more fun.
Out of all the shooters any unreal or quake game is the last thing you want to use a game pad on it's useless compared to a mouse and keybaord that is why the slowed the game down to a snails pace..
amd since the ps3 only has a max of 512mb ram you can not even use some of the large PC maps that will come out for the PC made as the game ages.
I only rented on a console to see how much of a horrible port the ps3 was and I was correct it is bad.
Not everyone prefers playing with a mouse and keyboard. People (a lot of Dtoiders) have been playing UT3 for months and having a great time. What does it matter so long as they have fun? Rhetorical question.
You're frigging right, you ppl should get an pc version of the game.. it rocks!
only downside is the small amounts of players :(
just buy it! seriously
and xbox 350 can only go down hill since it does not even have a mouse and keybord. I would not even bother with the game on anything but PC since they are only a cheep mock up of the real UT3 (or any UT game) on PC. it's not even worth playing on anything else.
Had a great time getting owned by Sadistic and a couple other Dtoiders earlier. I joined up, thinking that everyone was on there, but I guess not.
Noticed that either my mike is broken, or nobody's talking. What's up with that? Guess I've been spoiled by CoD4 matches, as everyone is chatty.
No.
Cube, please stop it.
I don't use a mic so I'm not too sure on what to tell you. I don't even really hear people as I mute out voices. But man, I missed the chance to blow your face off again? We shall meet again my friend...
Until our paths meet again...
my recomendation, if you can't have the pc version don't buy the game...keep playing COD4 ( the best MP fps in consoles )
BTW, did you and Sadie get my messages,I am sorry if you two were offended by my statement. I just do not like needless drama.
I got your message. I have no problems with you, brother. I most likely never will. I'm sure she doesn't either.
Sadistic, I hate you.
Gameboi, I'm sorry.
All I could manage was like 100. WTF?
WTF?
Just lucky I guess.
Still, I'm happy with my performance. I came in second or third every time. Go me!
Kinda sucks there isn't any mods, boo. I will Still get it eventually though.
