[quote name='Sofa King Kool']I've been a huge Unreal Tournament fan for about five years now, so naturally, I can't wait for this game. But I'm having a really hard time trying to decide if I should get this for the 360 or PC.
Unreal has always seemed like a game meant for the PC, but this one feels...different. My mind is telling me to get it for the PC. Mods, better controls, etc. However, my gut is telling me to get it for the 360. I really have no pros or cons; the 360 version is just so much more alluring for some reason. I really can't explain it.
Guide me CAG.
(Also, when exactly will this game be on store shelves? I checked several different sites and they all list different dates...)[/quote]
If you have a really good PC, then there's no reason not to go for that version.
But the console versions are pretty good for what they offer. By no means was the PS3 version really horrible or anything, but it lacked features that most other multiplayer shooters had...like voicechat. Custom mods is cool and all, but it's not an easy download and play process. You download mods as a ZIP from a PC, put it on a USB stick with a certain file structure, then put it on your PS3.
I understand why the 360 version seems fascinating. I do that with a lot of games that are point and click or not-so-friendly-outside-of-PC (like CSI, maybe Deadliest Catch, Supreme Commander for sure). While the 360 has none of the PS3's custom mods, features like split-screen, new maps and voicechat are the biggest features. And an online community that may (or may not) support it. No mods...ehhh I think we can live without them. I'm sure I'll play this version a lot more than the 6 hours I spent with the PS3 one.
Oh and Gamestop called telling me it's coming tomorrow. So it's probably Gamestop, Blockbuster and possibly Gamecrazy on Tuesday. And all big retail stores will get it on Wednesday.
