Yes you can plug in your usb mouse and keyboard and play just like you can on your PC, I tried it very very briefly and it felt just like I was playing it on the PC, not sure about mapping buttons and stuff I just stuck with defaults.

And unfortunately you can't play against PC users.
 
Thinking of importing this, is this server restricted or can you play with people all over the world? thanks.
 
got mine this morning - took ages and came from Hong Kong? - is it even out over there?.

Ist impressions - looks better on Pc, online was abit laggy - my 1st game to see lag like this, you fire and nothing appears for a split second - maybe the server i was on - and thats another thing i know its daytime but there doesn't seem to be many servers - only 3 or 4 of each type at present

At the moment its US only servers with a few other midway servers about, not sure of location but the ping is a lot lower. When it comes out over here in a months time the server situation will improve, played on a few servers with low pings and didnt seem to suffer from any lag. Dont forget to install to your HDD its in the options or settings menu, this improves the normal UE3 pop in problems.
 
yeah i installed to HDD, also added you, rp2000, Inoshishi, and for some reason Soulja cannot be added - i thought he had it

I see the midway servers or at least i think they are?, on Team deatmatch, CTF, Vehicle they are called midway_66 ect, or midway_psn_17 - thats the offical ones is it not? - but why are they all mouse & Keyboard? - pings on these are from 129 to 279

theres one called Forkzie:consolegaming.eu that has 15/16 with a ping of 64 - this is on team deathmatch. Just seems thats there isn't much going on
 
If you set up your own server of 10 people and set a map rotation of the 5 smallest maps you get no lag whatsoever.

That's what i do.

Im not entirely sure, i havnt been on for a week. I got lag on my first ever match so i have just setup servers for myself ever since. I guess they are the dedicated ones.

Josh

EDIT: Are you not sure how to set up your own?

EDIT 2: Just booted up mine, doesnt seem that busy does it?

MMM - Everything goes to Hong Kong before it goes anywhere else, don't worry about that ;)

And I've really neglected this game, I got it around the same time I got Uncharted and Assassin's Creed, then I started Final Fantasy XII and now I've got Burnout Paradise. I'm gonna have to give UT3 some love this week!
 
Ok - been playing some team deathmatch on Forkzie:consolegaming.eu server with 64 ping and 16 players - IT ROCKS

no lag, pure mayhem, lol, and i retract my "it looks better on Pc" - must be the level i was on because actually looks stonking on HDTV - the game engine runs really well and looks great

Midway concretes UT3 PS3 date
News by Rob Purchese

Yesterday

Midway has confirmed to Eurogamer that Unreal Tournament 3 on PlayStation 3 will be out here on 22nd February.

It will join the PC version that launched in November 2007, and do clever things like work with mods designed by the desktop community sitting jovially behind their command centres.

No level editor is included in the console offering, but those of you with PCs can build stuff and port it across, or just download other people's creations to a Memory Stick.

Tom was also full of praise when we got our hands on it at the end of last year, pointing it out as the new online FPS benchmark on PS3.

Pop over to our Unreal Tournament 3 review to find out more.

22nd Feb for EU/UK by the looks of it.

I manage to sit down for a gaming session each night but of late its been 5+hr sessions of FFXII :eek: UT3 is seriously lacking my love, as is Burnout and I need to rank up on CoD4, Then DMC4 is out Friday, not enough hours in the day!
 
right then, for those like me with import version it has been noted that midway EU servers are showing up in the menu's with pings half that of USa servers.

Bad news is that import version will not connect to EU servers "core package error".

This means EU version has updated files and not the same as USA version.

Fear not though as on the Epicgames forum a Admin has stated and posted

"Hi guys. The European PS3 version is a slightly different version and won't be joinable by US versions. The patch we're working on will bring both US and European versions into sync though, and after that point will be able to play together.

And no, we don't have a release date for the PS3 patch "
