is UT3 decent or not really?

Perhaps you haven't learned how to adapt? For example, I bought TF2 the other day and got my ass handed to me multiple times, its about the 4th or 5th day of having it. I realized in order to live longer, I have to attempt to move as fast as the scout that I hate (I'm a sniper so thats hard). As a sniper I got killed about 2 times as much as my kills, all from this one guy in some weird clan. I then realized I should try to copy his movements, style, technique, and by doing so I learned pretty well and now live about 5-15 kills in before dying (usually its some g'damn spy who backstabs me). You wanna be better than the people you hate (assuming you get as angry as I do in-game lol), then you need to learn to play like them, and copying is a good way to learn.

Back when Unreal Championship was popular in Xbox, it took me about a month of practice to realize I gotta really get in the game and move like the pros move in order to live longer. It all makes sense after that...
 
i can rack in kills, i just can't live long enough to get enough kills to have more kills than deaths. its so frustrating :(
 
Yeah, it happens. Nobody can be a professional in a matter of minutes. It takes a lot of practice. Those good players used to be bad and frustrated all the time.

Did anyone ever play Unreal Championship on Xbox before?

How is it not? Punkbuster isn't god-like, I actually had someone send a link to me just as I was about to quit COD4 (which got hella boring to me, I realized I hated war gameS). It's still in my Yahoo! inbox, it's this "injector" that bypassed Punkbuster, let me see through walls, removed recoil, autoaimed, and a whole ton of other stuff that got me banned soon as someone with Kill-cam caught on lol.

I guess I thought that if people submitted to having a process on their computer that runs all the time and has access to all their files that it must actually work - otherwise they wouldn't accept the breach of privacy. Silly me.

when i see somebody with 54 kills, and 7 deaths, theres no WAY they are that good. Not saying i'm great either, cause i'm not, but i'm nowhere near horrible. I can easily maintain a 1:1 Kill:death ratio, but when I play with these guys, i'll be dead right after i spawn 6 out of 10 times. I'll lay out 7 shots with a heavy machine gun on someone, and they don't die from point blank range.

my ping is usually below 100, which is fine for COD4. I've played upto a 150 ping and i was fine.

I've hit that kind of a ratio on CoD 4. But you know something's up if you spec someone and see their crosshairs jumping around from head to head.
 
One of my fav things about Unreal type games is the huge learning curve. If you're very good, you know you're only dying/losing because someone is actually better than you (in theory) unlike other games that have other elements limiting skill.
 
I bought ut3 yesterday on steam for 11.99. It improved a lot compared to the demo i played when it launched. Why not buy it if its that cheap ;)
 
I've been playing UT3 for about a year now and I keep going back to it. I've taken breaks for COD4, COD WAW, Crysis, and Crysis Warhead and I just keep going back to UT3. It has such a fast pace. You've got to stick with it though. I got destroyed for the first month or so until I learned the maps and other ins and outs. I'd consider myself one of the good warfare and vctf players out there. I still just can't get enough of it and the new titan pack sure seems awesome.
 
I raped in COD4. Of course I'm playing hardcore mode servers, never really play the normal servers. I can go 100-10 usually on a good day, on a bad day maybe 60-15.

Reasons why you can spawn and die instantly...

1. UAV (I abuse this so much, i throw nades, i spam shoot, pre-fire etc etc)
2. Consistent Airstrikes/helos
3. Pure spam (which is alot of what COD4 is unless you play a tactical hardcore server)

I hardly play it now because it's so easy and PB sucks my nuts on Vista X64

those are 70% of the reasons i die so much. i honestly don't think its so much of a lack of skill.

but again, i know i can be better.
 
Yes~! download the Titan patch and the 2.0 patch, its like the REAL FINISHED game now.

By the way, UT3 is FREE this weekend on STEAM. go download it~!
 
Well I can now say that after the patch, the game is better, but it still isn't something i'll be playing.

I mean i've spent 1300 hours in UT2004 since the demo came out, god know how long in 2k3 and the original... and I just can't play UT3 even with it much more polished then it was on patch 1.3...

I agree with some of y'all, in UT3, you never get gay'd by helicopters, airstrikes and such like you do in some toher game (don't get me wrong, i love cod4, just not public servers).
 
Bought UT3 when it was released - only now, with patch 4, can it be considered 'finished'. My advice: get it. There are SO many more servers now. Sure, it's not UT or UT2K4 and sometimes this fact upsets me - so play I the aforementioned. No biggie ; )
 
I like it except for having to sign in part..........hopefully the patch will remove this
