The best multiplayer shooter I've ever played. There are hundreds of things to learn. The game is divided into different game modes (like Warfare, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Duel, Capture The Flag, Vehicle Capture The Flag, ...), and the community is constantly creating new mutators and new maps, so it never gets boring.

UT3 is a very fast paced thrilling game and you have special movements like dodging and wall dodging which are hard to master but it makes you moving even quicker and much harder to hit. It doesn't matter how tired you are before the game: As soon you're in the game you feel like on adrenaline with eyes wide open and an alert mind. You will hardly experience a boring moment. So if you are looking for a comfy boring game to call it a day and make yourself ready for sleep --- then you are completely wrong with UT3. In the first few weeks UT3 felt kind of ridiculous fast.

However, after a while my brain adapted and I got used to it. Since then, whenever I try to play another shooter the new shooter feels slow like sneaking and without dodge and wall dodge movement like beeing an immobile target.

In other words: It takes you a while to get accustomed with UT3. But once you mastered it you are like edicted and it's hard to go back playing other shooters.

I've played it more than 10.000 hours, first without Steam, now with Steam, still playing almost every day

Please recommend my review if it gave you an impression of the game

It's seriously sad this game is quite literally dead in the eyes of old community these days... To think it was such a great, thriving community and now basically no one cares for it enough for there to be modding community once again, heck, not even more than 20 people on any servers ever with the OpenSpy patch.

Thank you ebls, SerberXXX, Tyler and BREMPSEY69. Most of time I play UT3 without STEAM though, and that more or less every day, so the hours are more likely +20k :UT2004udamage: And ebls: Yes, exactly, this is what I oftenly think: UT3 is quite old and yet it's hard to believe how good this game is. And the mods made it even more fun. For me this game has a double function: In the morning it helps me to pick up speed and in the evening it helps me to unwind.

Good game, good article. I have played the game mostly without Steam. It is a pity, today not much people are playing this game... Old friend-players mostly gone from it and some time in past i dissapointed in that game because of this. At the moment im not playing in it.
