ok, so i have been playing UT3 for a while now, and i must say.. its pretty bloody good.
first five mins im like "cod looks nicer" and.. "cods more in your face" ..."this aint cod"
ten mins down the line im .."wow.. that was cool" and "whoa.. nice"
now after three hours im totally sold on this. graphically its amazing, but its not instant joy like Cod4 is. this one creeps up on ya and screams down your neck.. but only after about ten or so mins in to the game do you get that feeling (imo).
as somneone who lives in the UK, online Ping isnt that bad.. worst is about 600.. most games are in the 2/300 mark.. but i tend to play around the games under 200, its best.
but come the 22nd of Feb when Europe gets it.. there should be some low pingers! but for now its totally fine.
about half an hour ago i got my first set of mods
i joined this game that had a load of mods on the hoverboard and jumping etc etc.. so it downloaded those automatically. Maps on the other hand, when you go to join a game that has a map that you dont have, it doesnt download it there and then like in SOF.
But thats ok, its just a quick quit, on to the web browser..
www.ut3mod.com and get the map.. back in to game, upload it and away you go. i can imagine this is something that Mr Unreal and his boys may fix in a future patch.. also being able to download more than one mod at time would be nice.
but we're still very much in the birth of mods on the ps3, so i can forgive.
all in all.... wow. thats all i can say.
ps.. anyone here got Downpour DM map yet? lol.. very cool map!
