The game is definitely kinda dead. I don't play it online simlpy because it's not that active, and the few servers I can get into have massive lag. I only bought it cause it was $20. When it comes to gameplay, UT04 is still better. The only thing UT3 has is graphics.

 

I hear'd the gameplay was still really fast paced though, and the Online is still "Fairly" alive compare'd to games like Haze and lost planets online modes so....

 

It still has the fast-pace feel that every other UT game has. The online is kinda still "alive", but my main issue was just the horrid lag that makes it almost unplayable. Not sure if it's just my internet, but I never get lag that bad when playing other games. The game is a decent deal I guess, considering how cheap it , but replay value might not last long depending on how much the online issues bother you. I actually don't really play it anymore. I was a UT fan on PC, but the huge thing that made it so awesome was how easy it was to mod/map the whole series. There's a ridiculous amount of user-made content for the entire series on PC. Everytime I played UT1 or UT04, I usually had a bunch of downloaded mods in use. Without all that, the game didn't really last long at all for me. I honestly think it's a much better buy on 360 just for the splitscreen.

I almost forgot to mention - the Assault mode from UT04 was removed. Now the irony is that UT3 was the first one to have a campaign mode with a story - it would've benefitted more from the Assault mode than the other games did.

 

I dont own a 360 yet so cant do that, besides my buddy owns this game on both and says the PS3 version is smoother less glitchly and maintains a overall better framerate then the 360 version does, and hes not biased at all and is right alot of the time when it comes to shooters so...

Also si-fi Shooters really work for me then any other, excluding halo of course.

At any rate, as long as theres atleast a "Fair" amount of people still playing this game online thats enough for me, it cant be worse then TimeShift for those of you who remember this game...
