Ever had a day when that cool unit you have been thinking about building for months, you finally get the energy up to do it. Dig out all the spare bits you've been saving for conversions find all your tools for converting glue, clippers files, the shiny new box you just bought to form the bulk of the models you are about to convert. Actually get permission from the Mrs to go do it, forget about the kids she says! Guess what a didn't have in the house. GREEN STUFF to put the frickin things together AAAAARRRHHHH!!!! whats that I hear go to the local GW & get some its a WEDNESDAY the only day its shut ............... for some ;D Can't be bothered going so heres another pointless post really. Got nothing better to do Now thats a lie time for some Unreal Tournament III key to the game.... Wonder if she will let me do that .

Lol I have roughly 2 packs of greenstuff here in case that happens. ;D
And I know you only mentioned UT3 because it's my most favourite game series ever and I'm mighty peed off that I have to wait another couple of weeks before it comes out on the Xbox 360.
Still, on the day it comes out I'll be on it for hours PLAYING THE BEST FPS EVER IN HIGH-DEFINITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
What unit was it anyway?

UT is the best on the PC, the real MANS gaming platform

I hear that the man with the plan Xan Kriegor himself isn't in this game. If that's true it's certainly a huge letdown. The Ronin team looks key though

Except that on the PS3, you can use a keyboard and mouse to control it. I played UT99, UT2003 and UT2004 to death on a PC (check out www.clan-ion.com and look for Apoc) and it is without a doubt the best series of games I've played, with UT99 a close consideration for best game I've ever played. But you want to know what I looking forward to on the PS3. Everyone has the same system, everyone's PS3 will play the game at the same FPS and at the same resolution (TV settings aside) and everyone will see the game at the exact same quailty. In short, people who could afford the fancy £400 graphics cards (although UT99 was more CPU hungry - was all the BSP in the maps) will no longer have a visual edge. Epic even said themselves they had no plans to divide the diiferent platforms - the first developers to do so. It's just a shame you won't ever see keyboard and mouse support for the Xbox, m$ having banned it and all.

To be honest, I think my accuracy will suffer greatly now I'm using a joystick instead of a mouse. Especially as my weapon of choice is the Shock Rifle. Now, were I to rely solely on the Flak Cannon (like most folk did in past versions because it was overpowered as hell) then I wouldn't be in this situation. However, I saw a screenshot of the new Shock Rifle and creamed myself to use the words of certain GW-goers. It was indeed more annoying when you had the kind of nerds who play the UT games 24/7 and are total pro at them online, and then they get the top of the range graphics cards so not only are they ridiculously good at it but they see you before you see them.

the damn lightning gun is gone! Also I can play UT3 on my 3 year old graphics card, and CS, and I end up top of most servers.. its all about the player, not the hardware Cost of PS3 and the game is about £350, then there is the decent HDTV, costing about £500ish, and a basic gaming PC capable of UT on high is less inc. monitor, as Duncan has just built one

You can play URT on your pc but a bet it don't look as good as a PS3 with HD & 37" Screen to play it on ;D
The game is oober cool so who cares who has what, deal with it & get the game whatever platform.

they get the top of the range graphics cards so ... they see you before you see them. i dont think the top end graphics cards are that good the only thing that might do that is them having a much much lower ping/latency, and even then it would be a miniscule amount of time, or the player with the high ping would be lagging too much to know what hit him.

All this wizzy tech-talk got me quite excited as I thought of all the funky improvements and updates that must be going on over at the clubs website. Folk that are building PCs and riding high at the top of UT servers could no-doubt get that website up to date with one hand tied behind their backs...
