I would bet a dollar your video card is not supported. Plus, you don't have enough RAM and your processor is too slow.

Besides that, you're probably fine.

Your video card isn't supported. The Pentium 4 is alright, and 512MB is the bare minimal. Hoping your running Windows XP with it, which I am sure you are.

If you want to play, a video card upgrade would be fine. Get a 7900GS AGP video card, they are like $180 bucks and you'll be able to run UT3 on the lowest settings.

RAM will help, but this game is designed to play on consoles with less memory than that.

shit, someone beat me to it

I'm hearing a lot of mixed, but good reviews from both traditional UT99 players and UT2kX players. They say the movement isn't as clunky as UT2k4, but not as smooth as UT99 was, however, I am hearing more and more good reviews then bad ones.

I might actually download the demo tonight.

I DL'd the demo and played a few rounds against the bots.

I like the weapons! They have the look/movement/feel of the UT2k4 guns w/ added thump, yet killed like UT99.

The "Minigun" was the nuts!!!

Shock Combos were slick!!! And easier to pull off.

Rockets seem to have a UT99 style timing w/ UT2k4 spread (3 rockets max ALT Fire). They killed very quickly, even w/ one to the face.

Flak - Has a slower rate of fire...not as spammy as UT99, but damn lethal.

Sniper - I actually got used to using a bolt action sniper playing Day of Defeat Source...so I felt right at home w/ the new sniper. Extremely powerful!! It does fire a tracer round, so you won't camp long w/ it.

Pulse - The ALT Fire looked more like green lightning...I loved it!!

Goo Gun - I will always hate the Goo Gun...LOL


Movement - Not as clunky as UT2k4, but not quite as tight as UT99 but hey, I'm not going to bitch until we get some low gravity going. I thought the reg gravity UT3 was better than the Reg Gravity UT99, so I'm thinking Low Grav UT3 will be awesome!

Now I remember I hated stock UT but this could have potential. It ran pretty good on my box. What is the damn War of the worlds thing on the dark map( not Shang) That bastard almost one ups the redeemer!
