UT3 BLACK GOES LIVE ON STEAM

That big expansion Epic has been promising? It's now available on Steam. What does this mean for all you poor suckers who bought the retail version of UT3? Wipe those tears and plug your CD-Key into steam and hit the ground in a sort of stumbling run/crawl while it updates. And if you haven't already bought this game, there's no excuse to take advantage of the Free Weekend Steam is offering to try it out, then buy it for its ludicrous price of twelve bucks! Till March 15th anyway.

This patch/expansion brings us two new gametypes, three new maps, two weapons, two deployable items, a new vehicle and two new characters to mix it up with in the eternal struggle between red and blue. All that on top of a plethora of smaller additions and fixes to the game which will hopefully bring this game away from the simple nature of the console interface we've been enduring for so long. The expansion also boasts improved network performance and mod support.

Now's the time to dust off your copy and give this thing a second chance. Get some fun out of that investment you made so long ago.

Yes, it was an investment. One that is now paying off. I hope.
