Wow, thanks Epic! A game that I played for like a week!

It was great that I could use my KB/Mouse, but the game wasn't anything amazing. I was on Hard and the game was still so easy. I don't think I ever lost a match without really trying. O well. I wish more companies would do this for older games like Ratchet and Clank or, geez, MGS4

UT3 may not be the best game out there, but it's great that Epic has done things I don't think some people appreciate enough. Just the fact that you are able to have a kb/m option says alot about the company. 2, they listen to their fans to not only shove split screen in whiney faces... but they're doing the 800mb update/pack free. Adding in trophies, even though they could just move on? Oh and lastly.. all of those wonderful mods and maps that they let you download free of charge, thanks to awesome PC UT3 players efforts. So next time you want to complain about how sorry we should all feel for you... maybe you should go play something else.

@blue_beast: I never complained about all that shit. But fans shouldn't have had to complain. Whenever I see a post about UT3, I wonder, is anyone on the PS3 still playing this? It seems like an act of desperation. I'm not knocking the Mods or anything of that sort, I'm just saying, its a bit late for a game that wasn't the best from the start.

WTF are you talking about Bob wasn't even complaining he's actually happy Epic did this, you asshole. Sorry but you sound like a complete asshole he's happy it's getting patched but let's face facts, although UT 3 was an awesome an outstanding online achievement it's not a great FPS in the campaign & online quickly stumbled with lack of gamers within 3 months!!! By around Januart last years people weren't available online & took a good 20 minutes or so to find a match. & wtf man you sound like a pissy softcore kid ranting. So don't bullshit me, he fuking appreciates Epic's efforts are you fuking stupid read his post again? lolSorry I just thought that was pretty slick of you, in a dumbass way.

Bob, my comment was not directed entirely towards you. I was merely stating the noteworthy and positive reasons for someone who may not share your same views, or hasn't had the opertunity to play the game yet. I know there are alot of people looking to buy this game, and probably thought it may be a good time to check it out. It sucked that the first comment they read is one putting down the game, IMO as it's gotten a solid 8.5-9.0 review average. I just wanted to stand up right away, and provide another reaction to Epic catering to their fans. (and some tough critics)
For what it's worth Bob, If I wasn't going to get excited about this, someone else would have. Maybe this will give us one more person online to play against, and quite possibly make us prove our eliteness to a human and not a bot.

This upcoming update is obviously a step in the right direction, if a bit late.. but it doesn't mean it wasn't a great game. It has a hard time being more than anything it's not, and it's not a story driven game.. nor has ever been. People should know when they purchase any type of Unreal Tournament game, that it's going to be a fast paced FPS with your standard deathmatch, CTF, "zones" (Warfare) etc etc. This of course is going to be best displayed online or splitscreen which is now possible.

And finally to Andrew Ryan, you sound like a little angsty 16 year old, swearing for the first time. Did I once say that HE wasn't appreciative? no, i said, "I UT3 may not be the best game out there, but it's great that Epic has done things I don't think some people appreciate enough." Was I including him? Possibly. My case in point was using Bobs first statement as an example:

"Wow, thanks Epic! A game that I played for like a week!" (slight sarcasm?)

You're right about the game's fan base thinning out though. Yes, it became hard to find a match for many reasons... it could have been the dividing of players who played with Keyboard and Mouse and others who only had Controllers. Also, the many modes spread people out.. and by the 3 week point.. Vet's were scaring off Noobs. So yea, it's going to decline in userbase.

And finally you state: "but let's face facts, although UT 3 was an awesome an outstanding online achievement it's not a great FPS in the campaign"

You know you're also right about this as well.. but I consider UT to Deathmatch and CTF, like others do to Killzone = War Perfected. ...It does what it's supposed to do, and nothing more.. I don't want to hear the story of UT, (go play Unreal or Unreal II: The Awakening) I just want to blow your head apart.

Major props to Epic for patching a game so long after its release. I will continue to support Epic for exactly this reason.

A strong contrast to Epic is Capcom, who basically cuts and run after a game has released and they've made their cash (especially on the PS3 platform). Maybe someday we'll actually get trophies for Bionic Commando Rearmed that they promised, etc, etc.

Is the patch out? I have the game, but every time I insert the game I see no patch download screen.

So Epic can be excused for putting out a game full of bugs at launch if the game is patched a year later? It took long enough for the first real patch and now this one is just far too late.

At least Epic is acknowledging the fact that the game was buggy and patching it albeit a bit late. Crapcom on the other hand does a jet move and runs like hell once they get the money. And it's not just patching the game, but adding essentially 16 NEW levels, NEW game modes, NEW character models and an easier mod method. Call of Duty 4 charged ten bucks for FOUR maps. FOUR. Epic is giving us 16 maps FREE.

I can't even sell this game on Craigslist for $10. Maybe I should start playing it again.

LOL naw, I have VC and Killzone2 to play instead. Great that Epic is still (or starting to) supporting this game but I think most of us have moved on. The mod thing is a huge headache for no apparent reason also.

I really enjoyed UT3, but once I stopped playing it I never got back into. K&M is awesome, and I do love trophies, so I'll complete the campaign to get some of these trophies.

Let the trophy hunting begin.

Andrew what new features are they adding other than trophies ?

I remember before this game was released a lot of talk about pc players able to play ps3 players, has this been enabled at all ?

Here is a list of everything when they first announced it.
http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=660951

Basically it will have new characters, maps, game modes, and vehicles. Of course it also have trophies or steam achievements for the pc version. Apparently it adds split-screen to the PS3 version too.

I was going to put in the effort to get some of these trophies, but it looks like way to much time is needed, I got killzone, hawx and soon godfather to deal with all games i want to play, Its hard to bring back the dead. But thanx epic for making a effort.

This is awesome! No trophies was the only thing keeping me from buying this game. Not that I'm a trophy addict, but I play online games much more when I have something going for it.
Also, those new maps are ridiculously generous, not to mention the 18 dollar price tag! :D :D :D
