UT3 360 will have mods in some form

personally i fink that only getting the best user content is the way 2 go.

Personally I think Unreal Tournament is a boring franchise and the ridiculously fast paced gameplay is horrible.

if they do it something like bungie favourites and just have the best of the best each week available for download id be pretty cool with that

good luck waiting for that ish like this almost never see's the light of day i hope it does for sake of anyone that buys this but i have a hard time be leaving that microsoft will not charge for this . Also i think a week or 2 ago i could of swore i read something some where that someone from microsoft said that sony was making a mistake for allowing mods and user created content on they're console and went on about how xna is a better solution for user created content . So like i said its so hard to be leave that microsoft is gonna let this fly we'll see i hope im wrong cause i would like to play this with the mods and other stuff people can whip up so here's hoping

It was all separate DLC for each new mod then you can just imagine the costs Microsoft would put for them. I mean c'mon, they are not going to give everything away for free even if Epic wants (like Gears).

This is why Epic is the best. They do whatever they need to to get their shit to the players; as the always have done with us PC gamers.

Maybe they've made their own Forge-like mode.

Chris, the only reason MS had any say in whether the Gears content was free is because they published it. The publisher chooses the price, so this time, it'd be up to Midway.

well it's a lot better than nothing. i demand the Master Chief and Marcus Fenix character models!

I have to disagree, i don't find the "best user content" the way to go. For starters, who exactly chooses this content? If its anything like Bungie favourites, it barely ever gets updated and is practically the most underused featured of the game.

Not to mention this is 100% no replacement from real mod support, which to point out the PS3 version had. The is sales "hype" or hope as i'm going to call it. Lets be realistic, we will never see Mod content in the 360 version because Microsoft are being stubborn and can't come to a compromise. If they are worried about it being exploited, they could work closely with Epic to make a secure delivery system that is 100% seperate to XBL but no, they can't be bothered.

Its just not going to happen and theres no way Epic is going to constantly on a monthly basis sift through the PC/PS3 mods and then "port them" to 360. I say port, because anything that goes up on XBL has to go through certification. Do you see them doing certification for tones of mods? I personally don't. It takes them long enough to test 4 maps.

Gears of War sold a lot for Epic, but ever since they released the last map pack, they pretty much instantly dropped support. Good luck buying UT3 for 360 and a year later they stop "bringing" "popular" mods over. I don't own a PS3 but i seriously consider us 360 owners getting jipped. Yay some exclusive maps that can be instantly copied by the PC/PS3 mod community and 2 new characters that can also be remodelled by the PC/PS3 mod community. SO what ever way you look at it, you buying UT3 but with its mod support stripped away. Thats not worth $60 to me.

The MP functionality of live is going to be a big plus with this game - I'll take it and wait for mods to come at a later date. While it's cool on the PS3, aside from the private games I play with friends...they're not used in the GP. Plus...it's kind of a pain - everyone you game with needs to have the same mods installed (especially character) or they don't show up. The maps...eh. Some are cool. You also have to d/l them, there is no autodownload of maps like you get on the PC. And, the mods need to be loaded one at a time on the PS3...you can't grab a bunch and rename files, etc...each mod carries the same USERDATA.JAM name, and the PS3 won't read any variation (ex: USERDATA_1.JAM, ETC).

...and a big thank you to the news folks for the UTIII news!

I love my box and all, but I do believe MS is way too money hungry to allow free user created downloads ............. damn those capitalist dogs!......

man i already bought the game for ps3 the other day for $25. it's just so funny to see people putting xbox characters into a ps3 game.

This seems like a good idea. Digging round the 'net to find the best mods for the PS3 version is a slow process.
