Unreal Tournament III’s a great game. Â Nobody really plays it anymore, but it’s still pretty awesome and the PS3 version is right up there with the PC version in terms of user-generated mods and extra maps, all for free. Â And now it’s Epic’s turn to give something back to the UT III players – the Titan Pack update due in a couple of weeks will bring the following exciting treats:
- 16 environments – four Warfare, three vCTF, six Deathmatch, and three CTF maps – that are new to the PC and PS3 versions
- Three bonus pack maps, CTF-Face, CTF-Searchlight and DM-MorbiasÂ
- The namesake Titan mutator, which lets players overwhelm opponents as a 15 foot tall titan, or crush them as a 30 foot tall BehemothÂ
- Greed and Betrayal, two gametypes that breed new-found fervor throughout the competitive UT3 arenaÂ
- Two powerful weapons, the Stinger Turret and Eradicator Cannon artilleryÂ
- Two valuable deployables, the X-Ray Field and Link StationÂ
- The Slow Field power-up, a portable version of the Slow Field deployableÂ
- Stealthbender, a new vehicle that carries two spidermine trap deployables, one EMP mine, and one each of the new Link Station and X-Ray Field deployablesÂ
- Two new characters, Nova and KanaÂ
- 57 awards attainable as Steam Achievements and PS3 TrophiesÂ
- Broad improvements for PC and PS3: Significant AI enhancements, especially in vehicle gametypes; networking performance upgrades; greatly improved menu flow and UI usability; better mod supportÂ
- Client-side demo recording, highly improved Server Browser, a new maplist system, plus mid-game mutator and gametype voting functionality for PCÂ
- High demand PS3 features including PS3 Trophy support, two-player split-screen support, and mod browsing
All sounds pretty good to us, especially the new maps, Trophy support and the two-player split-screen. Â Thanks, Epic.
