    I got UT3 about 3 weeks ago and I haven't seen many online. I've updated to patch 1.2 and enjoy playing but I can only find a handful of games online that actually have people playing. THe rest are empty servers or bots. Seems in any given night there are about 100 people playing and thats about it.

    Is this game that unpopular or am I missing something here?

    Yeah, there aren't many people playing it online. I have it, but I only play it online very rarely. TF2, COD4, and CSS steal much of its multiplayer thunder.

    well the modding is starting to take off. lot's of people are waiting for invasion to be made properly (as am i). I kind of regret buying UT3 when it came out. should've waited but forgot the UT series is all community modded

    Game is really bad online IMO. I didn't enjoy it except for the demo IMO, so I sold the game shortly after I bought it.

    The game had alot of competition and lost. It's not that bad of a game its just most people prefer to play other games like BF2 CSS and CoD4 as mentioned earlier

    UT, UT2003, and UT2004 still have plenty of games going. UT3 looks great, and Ill eventually buy it but lack of online play like the others makes me not want to pick it up yet. But hey the UT games are cultist like and will always have a good following.
