really? is this pc or ps3? i would of thought pc servers wouldn't be shutting down for sure, people still play on counter strike 1.6 servers ffs!
Koala why you even on this forum if you think UT3 sucks? and how the hell does UT3 suck? its one of the best old school shooters around and i dont like to think that old school shooters like UT are a dying breed because they're just too damn good
I think all the "offliners" here REALLY need to start playing online. There's a bunch of guys. Whats stopping you? Playing humans is much more fun then playing bots.

...oh God, I'm a casual!
For some reason a lot of people play offline because they think it's more fun. I've asked a lot of guys why and many of them tell me that losing isn't over and over isn't the greatest experience. I've said that if they want to get better they need to play online and get beaten until they stop doing stupid things to get them killed.I think all the "offliners" here REALLY need to start playing online.

Apparently I'm wrong because bots are all you need to become good. So says my last 1v1 with someone who said that ending up with my score of 36 and his of -2. :c
I used MapMixer and jacked the bot's accuracy up to 100% and made him favor the Sniper Rifle, it was pretty lame.
Are you open to the possibility that people have already made a decision about whether UT3 rocks or sucks and that they have voted with their feet? "The player counts don't lie." The online multiplayer player counts are telling us something. What do you think they are telling us?

Well for one, I can't connect online at all, I get "Connection Failed" on every server. That's one of the many reasons UT3 sucks. (But there are many more.)
A completely crap connection stops me playing online - until i can afford something else there's just no way + where I come from capping (monthly usage) is a real b**ch!

Right now what is stopping me is there is nothing I want to play. For UT99 and 2k4, I had an "in" something that I really liked and got me playing and made me want to get better. I don't have that in UT3 yet. I still need to try Greed and Betrayal though.
This is true for me as well. Also the lowest ping I can get is about 90, vs I can load up 2k4 and ping 40.
Actually, the launch for a game that had no advertisement was really good. It's just that the number of players dropped sharply after a while of people getting fed up with so many bugs in the game.
It was many small things adding up for me.
Everything seen alone wouldn't matter much. But it all added up.
For me it was the sum of:
- the graphics and artstyle (lack of color darkness)
- no Unreal/UT feel at all (settings and characters)
- the UI and Serverbrowser
- WAR as ONS replacement didn't work out at all for me or a large part of the ONS community
- players I had a lot fun with over the years not migrating because of the point above
- all the small bugs
- the horrible wheeled vehicle steering
- no zooming or 1st person in vehicles
- gamespy
- a lot of missing little and comfortable features from previous iterations of the franchise
After being hopeful for the Titan pack new bad things were showing that made me unistall the game after the fourth attempt to like it:
- lack of players (and decent servers that are populated) online
- mainly gimmicks added in Titan-pack opposed to solid, lasting gameplay (fun for two days, then boring)
- Betrayal not thought out till the end
- horrible maps voted for Greed on the few populated servers (which is a very good gametype)
The plain DM gameplay was good though. And yes, I tried to like the game...
