We've decided that the best way to deliver the UT3 expansion we've been hinting about is in two parts. This patch is the first part. We aren’t quite ready yet to start going into detail about the bonus content and gametypes that will be in the Titan Pack, which is substantially bigger than any bonus pack we've released in the past.


This implies that this could be more of a bonus pack for those who've purchased the game, and could also be the foundation of a repackaged UT3 (all the fixes and bonus content) ala UT: GOTY edition?

Either way, this is pretty cool.

Sounds like it to me. Would be completely inline with UT: GOTY and UT2004: ECE. Isn't the MSUC wrapping soon too?

However, the enhanced UI in this patch is still recognizably based on the existing UT3 UI.

Awww... :(
Think it is possible to remove the background level from the main menu UI though?
I know the character customization use the same level, but that's not something you get to everyday.

Think it could be possible to add a bot customization page somewhat similar to at least UT2004?

Nice to see the improvements to the UI, even though it grew on me the more I used it. Hopefully this means they will get some proper mouse support in there instead of the crummy slider bar. You know as much flak Epic has taken over the last year over this game, this proves that they do listen to the complaints. Who knows if it is too late now to bring more players in, but if this is only half of what is going to be fixed/or improved, yeesh count me in as a returning player.

People saying the game had only 1 or 2 minor things missing = wrong.

I'm going to use the Goliath more than never when I'll be getting this patch.

This is brilliant.

The goliath barely lasts 30 seconds of combat as of now.

Indeed, the tank is nearly worthless if the opposing team as much as sneezes it's way.

Also, for those of you who are asking about STEAM support re: achievements.

If you use the "add steam game" menu in your steam window, and enter your boxed game's CD key, assuming the game can be bought ON steam, the game will be added to your steam account much like any other steam-bought game.

Awesome... hopefully with the BU steam group it will be really easy to join into UT 3 games just by browsing the friends list on steam.

I'm pretty good in it, but for a lot of people that thing is a deathtrap.

To be honest, I would've liked to see the range on the cannon increased as opposed to the health, but hey, I'll have to worry less about Scorpions and Vipers slamming into me, now. :p
