Unreal Tournament 3 looks set for a UK release date of July 4th on Xbox 360.

Its worth pointing out that the UK release date is a few days prior to USA...which is rare in itself! Also there are supposed to be more maps, and with gameplay differing from the PC and PS3 versions, its reported to be the best version yet to be released.

Obviously we'll have to see what the reviews say and more importantly what the game says on release.

MIDWAY AND EPIC GAMES ANNOUNCE UNREAL TOURNAMENT 3 AVAILABLE JULY 7, 2008

Xbox 360 Version of Highly Anticipated and Award-Winning Franchise has New Features, Exclusive Content and Gears of War 2 Multiplayer Video.

Well.. I did see on cvg.co.uk a while back that microsoft didnt want to allow user mods.. But i was looking on game.co.uk and it says..

"Bundled with the award-winning Unreal Engine 3 Toolset: Build your own Unreal Tournament levels, gametypes, and more, or download the latest mods from the massive Unreal community with Unreal Tournament III!"

I am gessing this is the whole package... But lets wait till it comes out and see.. coz tbh Game.co.uk might have just copied and pasted the stuff over from the ps3 game and placed it onto the 360 one on the site...

Then that would be false advertising and we can sue them. :)

It probably says the same about the PS3 version. Only the PC version includes the modding tools.

you know they've probably been lazy and just copied the description from the PC version of the game to the Xbox version and not changed the differences.

Please god no!

FFA on UT ? Yuk!!

The only gametypes that should ever be played competitively on any Unreal or Quake series is TDM/CTF for team stuff and Duel for singles.

Please KON dont do FFA's on UT3, its the worst thing possible for the game.

This game should be really good, lets hope we can build up a good European community for it.

If people could post in that it would be great, although Gamebattles doesn't mean much it's still a good way of finding extra teams and organising matches.

Theres a video of a top quality 1v1 on the PS3, looks really good to be honest.

Settings wise, I do agree that UT isn't really made for FFA but I must say instagib FFA can be decent on the right map (Rising Sun is quite good for this) but the best gametypes are definatley:
1v1
2v2 TDM (Most CTF maps seem too big for 2v2)
4v4 TDM & CTF

Also mixing in a bit of instagib would be good, maybe do a mixed 4v4 Tournament where instagib acts effictivley as another gametype.

Hay Man. I was suggesting it to be 4v4 CTF & TDM But i do think it would be a possiblity to think about MAYBE 1v1 Tournaments. But i play UT3 on Pc and always loved 1v1's and FFAs.. Just my opinion.

But 100% 4v4 TDM & CTF and as Expoze says 2v2 would be good too.
