Well, basically UT3 is Okay ... but in a lot of ways it's a BIG 
disappointment to me. First you should know that I only play Bots, and 
mostly I do deathmatch. I don't do online. The Bots are pretty good, so 
that's not the problem.

It's the look - the levels are for the most part dark, dingy and dirty. I 
thought it was my card or monitor. Nope! I turned up the brightness and 
contrast and details. And where are all the levels anyway. Only about ten or 
less for most of the game formats? What's up with that? I guess they are 
expecting the user community to fill in the void. By the way, some of the 
maps just seem to be all about being fancy, but hardly practical for real 
deathmatch. It's like the Epic mappers were just showing off what the engine 
could do. Okay. Now release some real deathmatch maps! Pretty please! I hope 
there is going to be a major map pack or two or three to make up for all of 
this.

And most of the MODs that come with the game are stupid. After all this time 
you would think Epic would know which mutators the gaming community wanted. 
Where is instagib? I guess the community has to fill in this void too. So, 
why do they charge so much for a half baked game? We should charge them. Ha!

Now to some technical stuff. Both the Demo and the full game would NOT save 
any game configurations!!! Arghhh! (This problem and others are noted on the 
Epic game forums.) The solution I used - not found on the forums - was to 
edit the game and weapon and engine and player ini files found in 
C:\Documents and Settings\XuserX\My Documents\My Games\UT3 ... etc. But, 
this is a lot of trouble. So, why did Epic ship with this clearly noted 
"bug"??? Oh well, if this is any indication of where Epic is headed, I don't 
look forward to Unreal Tournament 4.

If the mutator and MOD community get on board for UT3, then UT3 will be 
great. But, why did Epic do such a half way job on UT3. At least that's what 
it look like to me. I'll keep UT3 on my hard drive for a while, but if the 
modding and mapping community doesn't get to work then I'll go back to the 
other Unreal games for deathmatch botting.
