Soo, who's picking this baby up? It's out today, and I should get it delivered to me somewhere next week.

In the meanwhile, I've been having some fun with the demo, trying out the new Vehicle CTF, which I have to give kudos for, it's awesome!

I will be a bit behind on this purchase due to funds.

Same with me, I really wanted the Collectors Edition of UT3 as it comes with the 10hours Editor tutorials disk too. Heck if I could have pre-ordered from EB Games I could have gotten Anthalogy with it as well. That would have been the complete Unreal Series of games for around 70$ with shipping. But alas, I lack the funds at this time and will have to see if I get enough X-mas money from family to even think about getting it I still have the Collecters Edition of UT2004 that came with the Tutorials and headset mic. And I had to pre-order to get that one. So hopefuly I can get my hands on a copy of UT3 that will still have the tutorials when I finally have the money

I bet someone will post those tutorials somewhere on the web soon.

gogamer.com still has copies of the collector's edition available

Yeah, I straped myself in Dec getting a copy of the Collectors edition. I almost starved for awhile. But now with custom content coming out for it now. Its been worth it. With some of the user made maps and mutators I've been having a blast with UT3 now

<-- eyes his credit card against better judgement and ponders a purchase.

Free add-on coming

Fraggers rejoice, Midway and Epic Games Officially Announce the FREE Titan Pack for Unreal Tournament 3
New maps. New units. New vehicles. New characters. The most content ever added to an FPS, and all for free! Midway and Epic Games have officially confirmed the Titan Pack is coming to Unreal Tournament 3 for the PC and PlayStation3 March 5, 2009. This bonus content takes the award-winning shooter to a whole new level.
The Titan Pack introduces 11 new multiplayer maps for maps for Deathmatch, CTF, Vehicle CTF and Warfare modes, plus eight popular maps from the first UT3 bonus pack and Xbox 360 version. In addition, players will experience two new game modes: Greed mode, a "tug of war" style kill points battle, and Betrayal mode, a cutthroat style of play where alliances and teams can shift fluidly through a match.
The Titan Pack also rewards you for your successes in game, with 57 awards that can be attained as Steam Achievements for PC and Trophies for PlayStation 3.

Oh, I know I'll be downloading this,as I've still got UT3 installed and still play it. Though with no Chaos Mod for UT3 it still doesn't feel like UT. Sucks they couldn't get enough coders for the UT3 mod. Still sucks that I can't run this at very high graphics on this Dell. Its a 2.2gig Duel Core AMD64, 3Gigs DDR2, 128meg 8300 GS Vid card, running Vista Home Premium 32bit. Even though my new LCD Monitor will display 1440X900, I have very few games that will play at that rez. Anyway, plan on downloading and trying it out sometime after its out. Might let ya folks know what I think about it when I do.

K, so I've downloaded and installed patch and Titian pack for UT3. Clocks in at around 1.3 gig for both. With that much you'd think there would be some ground breaking changes. Granted I've not fully played through it yet. One deathmatch round in Downtown Necris. Titian is you become a giant Jagernaught with an overpowered Shock Riffle and Rocket launcher, you also get beefed up health and sheild and increase in size about 10x normal. This is activated with the R key but carefull once you've built up the meter for it a 2nd time if you are already Titain. Cause then you become a bomb and blow up like a redeamer and a big one at that. The interface of the game at menu has been revamped with needed changes, though take a bit of getting used to over the old one. But it does let you tweek UT3 into something more comfortable for your computer and taste now. Once I get around to playing with it more I'll give a more detailed opinion on it. For now all I can say is its different, but not sure its ground breaking changed enough to bring up it popularity yet.
