Competition
Massive UT3 update planned and dated

Epic’s Titan Pack for their multiplayer shooter, Unreal Tournament 3, aims to add a bunch of content to both the PS3 and PC versions of the game, including features already included in the Xbox 360 version.

Releasing on March 5th, the pack will notably add in split-screen and mod-browsing for PS3 owners, as well as an additional 16 maps.

Attempting to explain away the lack of an update for the Xbox 360 version of the game, Epic’s Steve Polge said that a lot of the content and features come as standard on that consoles’ version of Unreal Tournament 3, going on to say:

“And we couldn’t do the mod browser, there’s no structure for that on the 360. And the pack is larger than Microsoft’s patch limit.”

The full list of features in the (free) Unreal Tournament 3 Titan Pack follows below:

  • 16 environments - 4 Warfare, 3 vCTF, 6 Deathmatch, and 3 CTF maps – that are new to the PC and PS3 versions
  • Three bonus pack maps, CTF-Face, CTF-Searchlight and DM-Morbias (with preview pics)
  • The namesake Titan mutator, which lets players overwhelm opponents as a 15 foot tall titan, or crush them as a 30 foot tall Behemoth
  • Greed and Betrayal, two gametypes that breed new-found fervor throughout the competitive UT3 arena
  • Two powerful weapons, the Stinger Turret and Eradicator Cannon artillery
  • Two valuable deployables, the X-Ray Field and Link Station
  • The Slow Field power-up, a portable version of the Slow Field deployable
  • Stealthbender, a new vehicle that carries two spidermine trap deployables, one EMP mine, and one each of the new Link Station and X-Ray Field deployables
  • Two new characters, Nova and Kana (Liandri and Ronin, respectively)
  • 57 awards attainable as Steam Achievements and PS3 Trophies
  • Broad improvements for PC and PS3: Significant AI enhancements, especially in vehicle gametypes; networking performance upgrades; greatly improved menu flow and UI usability; better mod support
  • Client-side demo recording, highly improved Server Browser, a new maplist system, plus mid-game mutator and gametype voting functionality for PC
  • High demand PS3 features including PS3 Trophy support, two-player split-screen support, and mod browsing
