Mark Rein has once again kept his word. After saying that we'd receive
Unreal Tournament 3 before the year ends, last week, Rein proclaimed the game would be in
stores as early as Dec. 11. Today, Midway confirmed that as it announced the game will be shipping to retailers on Dec. 10.
After the
unfortunate delays of
The Orange Box and
Haze, it's great that we'll have a decent FPS to look forward to this holiday season. We're pretty confident that,
unlike EA and Valve, Epic will ensure its game runs as smoothly as possible on the PS3.

Is UT3 multiplayer only? Does it have a campaign mode?

It has an "expansive" single-player mode as well.

This game looks pretty cool. But I am broke after buying Uncharted and Assasins Creed. Is anyone else kinda disappointed in Assasins Creed. I mean the game is fine, but I thought it was gonna be better. Maybe one of my relatives will get me Unreal for Christmas.

PC version is nice. Interesting to see how it looks on the PS3.
I would like to here EA explain a lame Orange Box if this game runs soundly on the PS3.

@1: Please stop forgetting that the PS3 is region free and that you can import games from the US on release date if you want to.

@Popfrogs: Please stop forgetting that a US PS3 game might not work with EU DLC and depending how the servers are set-up might not let you play with the rest of your EU buddies (e.g. Motorstorm, on both counts).

DLC costs money. Most people in Europe don't have American credit cards lying around.

@ Popfrogs.
There is also something nice about being able to purchase the game in a shop on the day of its release instead of waiting four or five days for it to be delivered.
To answer the question: I believe Feb. 2008 was mentioned on this very site in the past in relation to a UTIII European release date.

Not when you're in Europe and you get everything 2 or 3 months later. That's the point I was trying to make.

I love UT, and have enjoyed prior iterations of it. I am so knee deep in Call of Duty 4 though, having to play 2 multiplayer games is going to be difficult. But a plethora of games to play has never stopped me before.
