XL: Unreal Tournament III Freeplay

[KONSPIRACY]

MatchBox360 are pleased to confirm that the highly anticipated Unreal Tournament III will be available as freeplay for everyone attending MatchBox360 XL on 25-27th July at Cranmore Park.

Unreal Tournament III is the latest FPS title from leading games developer Midway to be released on the Xbox 360 console and will be arriving at your local games stores on Friday 4th July.

MatchBox360 will be testing the game in full during the 3 day XL weekend, and your feedback will help determine whether Unreal Tournament III will be added to the official XL tournament line-up at future events.

Are you ready to XL?! :cool:

(Not because I have what, 6 months experiance of this on the PS3, NO not at all..)

[Terbinator]

ive never played this b4. you just can beat 'headshot!' or the flack cannon which just lets people know

[Switchback]

Awesome!

Good stuff :)

[I R3dMaGiK X]

make it a tournament and il come :D

[KONSPIRACY]

No doubt we'll do a free to enter tournament but seeing as the game hasnt even been released yet we cant make it an official tournament for this event.

Hope This Game Makes It Big

[Renegade]

If I like it at XL, I'll buy it.

Don't trust fast-paced FPS on consoles yet...

I got UT3 today and all i can say is WOW, game owns man im sure if it was ever to be picked up for DUEL obv and maybe some CTF depending on wepaon layouts, i honestly think it should be considered for even maybe the next XL it would be great.

yeah i agree, got it delivered today too. i love how quick the gameplay is, though the sniper seems to kill far too easy off scope (auto-aim a bit i presume). In CTF it can be really fun aswell as tactical.
could happen the same as COD4 at XL3 i guess, some sort of tourney on the end of the event for fun and possibly small prize. do you not get a bit bored after awhile on it though? i guess it'll be more fun playing with friends/clan, but they aint gt it yet.
deffo an XL candidate for future though, if it can gain enough interest from freeplay+online

a 1v1 tourny wouldnt be to hard to gte alot of ppl interested, most ppl who went to XL would probs just enter for the fun of it to pass the time. i think if they could do DUEL this event then really look into it for the next XL abit like they did with COD4 with the FFA then going onto 5v5 it could really be a big hit.

Yes i do agree with this....

It would be nice to see maybe a mini Tourny at the end of the weekend maybe? With small prizes....

Just a little option..

what fonzz said:) dont make it crash with ffa and 4v4 5v5 please

[Lethal]

The game would definately work without a doubt. Some players would assume that it should only be played as a competitive PC game but after playing it today it would definately work for the 360.

Having a DUEL only Tournament without the FFA would work. It wouldn't effect the time schedule in anyway neccessary for future XLs. Only problem is the seeding would need to be worked out in a different way, hopefully not random.

[KONSPIRACY]

Only fair way to do a first tournament for a game is random draw for fixtures or preliminary online tournament.

[iG DevilZ]

an online tourny im sure would be great and if you needed any help trying to get all the players together and making sure matches went ahead id certainly help.

[KONSPIRACY]

Need some assistance with Duel rules as I havent received my copy yet.

[iG DevilZ]

well imo, i think it should all be kept default, with maybe restrictions on power-ups like udamage.

ppl complain about some wepaons but they all counter act each other quite well, on live udamage and the other power ups are needed to tackle host but at lan i dont see there being many problems.

[I R3dMaGiK X]

10 min
no power ups (except belt)
no redeemer

[KONSPIRACY]

Havent got the game yet so need explanations/reasons please.

[Dannyooo]

online tournament.

ONLINE YOU SAY

Lethal dont get involved :P

[iG DevilZ]

Havent got the game yet so need explanations/reasons please.

10 mins is a decent amount of time to rack up kills but still gives the opposing player time to come back into it if they get control.

standard weapons because they all counter act each other well YES some seem over powered but they all have there flaws.

Kepp belt and jump boots but dont allow the use of the u-damage/juggernaught and the rest fo the crap they just ruin the control of the game, you cant take the u-damage and things out so all you do is your dont allow the pick up of them which is what they do with the PC settings.

[iG Shot2]

Yeah basically what devilz just said, you need those setting to make it the perfect balance. Its all about map control and taking back map control, which is why the belt needs to be on.

Redeemer is basically a nuclear missile so obviously that is a no no.

Udamage is really bad because you can whore the stinger, spray it up and rack up a stupid amount of kills in a very small period of time. There is a reason why they have it off for PC duels basically, we should stick to rules made by people that know best imo.

[iG Shot2]

Also, is this going to be a tournament at next XL then? If its confirmed then I might get a ticket and come along, but I wont be going if its not a tournament. So I guess as soon as you can it would be nice to know.

[KONSPIRACY]

I have a sneaky feeling we'll be doing UT3 Duel tournament at XL5. Havent got my copy so cant confirm just yet.

[Qore]

Rules:
Timelimit 15 mins
Scorelimit 0

No Redeemer, No AMP, No Vehicles (for example: Darkwarker in Heatray)
and no bug- or glitchusage.

Mappool: DM-Deck, DM-Diesel, DM-Heatray, DM-Sentinel, DM-ShangriLa

Same as PC Rules, if you would like to discuss about UT3 > MSN: se1z@gmx.at

[KONSPIRACY]

15 minutes a bit long for 1v1?

[Qore]

15 mins is the normal rule, its the same on PC
+ 15 is perfect for the gameflow, as if you are attacking or defending

well, i know that it sounds abit much, if you have like 60 participents, but i have a solution for that.

Groupstage - Single Elemination
Playoff - Double Elemination (LB, WB)

how does that sound?

but im dont like forums tbh :P
hit me up on MSN Kon, if you would like to discuss that over

[KONSPIRACY]

I am pleased to confirm that Unreal Tournament III has been added to the official line-up with a Duel tournament taking place on Sunday 27th July.

UT3 Duel tournament entry fees are now available in the MatchBox360 XL Ticket Office (http://tickets.matchbox360.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=54.).
