First of, remove the brackets from supposedly.


Second, I would guess it was the regular stuff like netcode and making stuff uncomfortable in general for the pro gaming scene and newbies alike.

Which brings me to the "eye candy > gameplay" attitude of Epic yet again.

Main thing was the movement. Its always been a problem in UT, UT2004 done a crappy fix with dodge strafe, but UT3 removed that and had nothing. Felt like a console game on PC, and it was, Epic designed it first for console, then were too stupid to update it for PC, where their core fans were. It took a long time of waiting for patches to change the console stuff to suit the PC, still misses the feeling. Like Quake 4, the core gameplay is just the same as ten years ago, they too missed both the innovation and evolution trains. The game's graphics / performance are great, singleplayer is a nice compliment to multiplayer, but the game is mega stale, just like Quake.

*facepalm* dude UT3 is in no way a console style game, have you ever even played a console shooter?
if their focus was on consoles there wouldve been a bunch of changes in design that didnt happen.

Main thing was the bullshit Interface and lack of options.. To not include a crosshair function, weaponbob turnoff and just the most terrible idiotic serverbrowser is just plain stupid...

The rest of the game is fine I guess... It's just sad that it needs an hour of tweaking before you can play it.. And i'm not talking about framerate, just simple visibility and options.

Terrible, just terrible.

I play UT3 on PS3 and as I would like to say I love the game very much. Even though today the game is virtually dead cause of people like you, but there is still some hardcore UT gamers out there still playing. Thank GOD for them. As though it really didn't turn out to be a success like I wanted it to be just because the UT community is dead on PS3. It sucks. I might have to stop playing one of these days if there is nobody on and its hurts inside because a game so good is almost dead. UT is LIFE. And as though the ranking system is confusing to some let's just say me and our DK clan r going to the top of the list and saying goodbye to the blackcats. So support UT3 and the community and urge everyone to play. Don't let a classic die. There's issues with the game but its still a good game and UT. So all U GALO fans, I mean HALO fans go out and get a real game. UT3. So support UT3 and look me up.

Troll or ... ?

XD

dunno, but north american console players are just about this stupid

If you're going to troll, you should make an account.

TAM in UT2004 was (and is) still refreshing enough for the community with the gradual additions of new maps. That plus the costs made it easy for UT'ers to decide against paying all that money on computer parts so it would run decently. All these leaps in graphic quality is all good and well providing the audience is willing to pay to keep up with them...we weren't. Plus there's the standard case of lacking out the box things like a competitive mod and UTV so people can actually watch the matches.

1 UT3 cup has just finished, there's another to be done soon. After that there's going to be another dip in activity with a fair amount returning to UT2004 I'd imagine.

it had too many problems on its release, preety much the same thing that happened to q4

Cause they learned absolutely nothing from the q4 disaster.

it was released in a beta state with a strong consolized flavor
