    You can play UT3 offline also. That's how I mostly played it.

    I don't own Crysis anymore, I sold it,but with UT3 I can be more help, I still have it , it's one of my favourite games :)

    so do you have to go online in order to save? i believe the person was talking about playing the story mode.

    Don't have to be online with crysis. The editor.exe should be in the "Bin32" folder when you install the game and you don't need the cd to run it :)

    It's loads of fun filling a village with koreans then throwing a few tornado's and hunters in along with them :D :D Enjoy!

    i know that the SP may not be the best but im looking at the mods and the MP which look good

    any idea what settings i should go for? i want as little slowdown as possible.

    UT3 SP is nice enough, plenty of game types involved.

    Crysis' SP is average at best in terms of story,as UT3's one...
    But for the graphics,they're both nice and entertaining.
    I would choose UT3 over Crysis any day.

    SP is THE BEST! MP is fun too ;) DX10 High is the sweet spot for settings, shadows can go to medium for a higher resolution. There's alot of settings and custom config mods out there to try... just enjoy the game first :p

    Don't worry,you won`t miss on much.
    You can try shaders and shadows at very high through settings... ;)

    It will be worth it, the way the game looks on very high with the 2 Shads(shadows,shaders) will blow you away :)
