Mmmm I suggest you then play XMP at 2k4 or utxmp....You know not everybody likes that kind of gameplay.
Why the low UT3 adoption?

Maybe (pure speculation) it had to do with the very close connection of Catzenjeger and Midway Germany.
About the censored version: It was very easy to "unlock". It was Midway who screwed up badly. I remeber PMing with Jeff Morris about the Version I bought and how easy it could be "unlocked" and how he wanted to "have a talk with MW-Germany".
That depends on what your learning. If learning how to make the guns shoot is all, then that's quick, a very short learning curve. If playing the game at a moderate skill level is what you mean,, then your totally wrong. UT3 has a very substantial learning curve. Even coming in from UT2K4, it takes substantial time to learn how to best use the weapons and movement. It takes alot of play time and practice, especially online.The campaign may be a tutorial of sort, but bots do not play like real folks and do little to prepare you to face many online players. This game just has a great deal of depth and it does take a long time to master the different weapons and skills. I have been playing since day one and guesstimate I am still very very far from mastering even half it.
my idea to the lack of UT3 players in europe is this
when u make a game that is supposed to take over and be a good follower to lets say UT 2k4,,,i really dont think that when u have added something to a game
u just cant remove it and replace it with something else,that goes to movement
so this is why i think theres a lack of players here
but this is just my 2 cents of it
the weapons in UT3 are superb.............

No Assault gave me nothing to start with. I find the other game types boring. With UT and 2k4, Assault got me into the game and then in to the other types. It is the same for most of the AS community.
Exactly, everyone exactly describes XMP, yet nobody plays it for some reason... We need more advertising
Have they improved the netcode for XMP or ballanced it? Was a while since I played it.
And even less people likes to be forced to play a highly restricted way.
light/med/heavy would have allowed most tiers to faceoff on common ground, instead of how ut3 managed to almost alienate everyone...
It's balanced and the netcode has always been good for U2XMP, as for UTXMP, it has improved and is just as good as U2XMP (except for ridiculous amount of damage taken by crashing vehicles into trees).
Same answer that provided greatemerald....netcode is fine. I dunno why became less played across the time they published until today

"I'm wondering why people haven't adopted it."
Requires a graphics card far, far more powerful than I have to run, and so to get it working at a decent speed I have to kind of put it on the lowest visual settings and then it looks silly.
Also, aside from making it not work on my computer, the added visual details get kind of distracting. If you've got super-clean map design like in UT99 or Q3, or a heavy reliance on bright, primary colors like in Ut2K4, it's a lot easier to process the relevant visual details. Too much greeble and it just gets a bit distracting.
And I think minimalist design just looks a wee bit classier.
(Yes, I know. Use user made maps. The official maps sort of dictate the style you see in the user made maps, though, I've noticed).

I don't know why Epic should cater to those on 5 year old hardware...
**** when I was still on a 7600gt I could play the UT3 demo.
Because what? I thought it was pretty obvious. New players in UT2004 get DESTROYED. They don't survive longer, unless you mean on ONS running from the power core to wherever the action is. In DM/TDM/CTF/DDOM/BR they are pretty likely to get zero points, have zero kills, and die hundreds of times before the game ends.
Then you would have to say that every UT game other than UT has had massively declining player counts since the day it was released. It doesn't really matter how many people are playing, unless they are all playing invasion RPG.
My point really was that UT3 is easier to feel useful in than UT2004, and that is mostly due to the fact that it is easier to get what I'll call "accidental kills".
