I got the collectors edition when it came out. I'd say it was earlier this year.. maybe Feb. or March. It enhanced on the graphics quite a bit and added some new toys to play around with. I am a huge UT fan although have not played it as much because my gaming time has diminished.

Bit of a disappointment really. Looks very pretty but it plays too fast, more like the random, rage, infusing speed of Quake than the aerobic action of UT2004.

Biggest annoyance for me is that there's no server browser. In order to play a match with a mate he has to bring down the console and connect to me by ip! Which is insane bearing in mind that we've always referred to the UT series as having the best net code of any game.

I've had lan games of the original unreal tournament connected over a twisted parallel port cable.

Update - Sorry, didn't spot you were talking about the console version. It actually feels like it's been built with the consoles in mind so will probably be much better.

got both PC and PS3 version about 6 months ago, I intended to do map making for both systems but I found the game quite boring and is gathering dust.

I thought the UT2004 was hopeless and boring, and thought it was quite poorly done, but this version looks a lot more polished.

At the end of the day, you CAN NOT beat the original Unreal Tournament (PC), the gameplay was awesome.

/Gonna have to look out my pc version now, and give it a whirl...lol

So true, it's the only one I really liked and played like hell. I was still at the Uni. back then, everyone played it in the cs labs. Really awesome.

Nowadays I just don't feel like playing it anymore. I feel old :wacko:

Sadly it looks like the 360 version will be the inferior one of the bunch as MS will not allow untested/unsigned umod's to be used in their version, thus 360 owners will not have access to some of the incredible mods out there :(

Heh, there isn't anything special about the original UT now days. Sure back in it's time it was awesome because there was only quake and counterstrike to compete with it.

Just gets annoying, it isn't like if you released the first ut right now it would do well. (Which is basically what ut3 is - a rehashed ut99)

Wasn't aware of that, but again that is a way of charging us 360 users for what is otherwise free content.

The Gamerpic is from the Wanted gamerpic content.

I don't see the problem. VERY few UT mods are really worth ****, and those that are only exist as mods for a short period before they're bought up and released as standalone games.

The good Small mods that still remain are few enough that most of them will be picked up and "officially" bug tested by epic and released through them.

MS stance makes the most sense here, a broken mod can cause a lot of problems, and the blame gets split half and half, with half going to epic and half going to MS... and very little to the mod creators, afterall it's the game/console that allowed them to make a broken mod :rolleyes:

I suspect the only reason sony allowed it in the first place was to get more "cool" points with the gamers for allowing it, and partly because they need a few bonus points on MS And their system is allready wide open. By the PS4 though expect Sony to have finally made a solid enough online system to lock it up and force all developers to use it and follow their rules for using it, just like MS and XBL. The only reason PSN Compatibilty and central friends list support and all that isn't mandatory on the PS3 isn because it wasn't done at launch.

As for pricing, They may release the officially "signed" mods free, or require a small fee. wich would make sense sense bug testing and Q&A even for a small mod/mutator does require a lot of man hours.

      Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.

      The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
