UT3 worth buying?

[Flogger23m]

The game is alright.

The vehicles are nicer than UT2004, but the player movement is too quick and jittery. I get a headache after playing for an hour.

The maps are too small to.

There is a lack of players and almost no custom content/maps that are worth playing.

And now, the game is nearly dead. There was never a lot of players (in part because of the console versions).

So I am going to say no, its not really worth getting.

That being said, the graphics are amazing, and it runs very well.


Hopefully the next UT game will be better.

Well considering Epic is workin on UE4, and making it primarily for consoles, there's probably a very slim chance we'll even see another UT game. UT3 did so poorly compared to their new baby Gears of War I'd bet they're just gonna abandon it.

I think what they meant was that the new engine is targeted at the level of hardware of the next generation of consoles, not that it was primarily made for consoles.
Be that as it may though, they said they wanted to put the Unreal Tournament series on hold.

I think you are right.

Graphics have not advanced much in the past few years. When new consoles come out, that is when graphics and game engine technology will get a kick start again.

So, I imagine that is what UE4 is waiting for.
