Get it there, Region Free and should cost less than 60 euro including delivery,

Great site for PS3 game imports.

LeoGilly · 03-01-2008 3:05pm

Thanks for that! Wasn't sure if games were region free.

Yeah I got it from there on launch. Plays fine on the PS3 here.
However I'd almost advise you to wait until it's released here in March. There's not many online servers to choose from right now and the ones that are available are so laggy it's not worth playing. Most of the servers are hosted in the US so ping response for me is anything from 150+.
I came across 1 or 2 servers that were down around 50 or 60 but there was hardly any choice.

LeoGilly · 03-01-2008 3:16pm

I'm not too worried by that. By the time march comes round we'll amazing!!

NotorietyH · 03-01-2008 3:22pm

My copy should be arriving in the post today. Looking forward to it

LeoGilly · 03-01-2008 3:33pm

How long should it take to deliver??

They are very quick considering its from Canada,

Usually takes 2-3 Working days for me to get stuff from them.

Hornd · 03-01-2008 4:53pm

I just got it a couple of days ago from vg+. Took 2 weeks but that was due to the christmas post.

Its a great multiplayer game. If you played the previous versions and liked them u will love it. Just dont expect anything radically different from the other versions.

Zapp Brannigan · 03-01-2008 5:13pm

Picking this up form the post office tomorrow. Looking forward to the mindless killing!

is there any 1p aspect to it at all?

There are bots yeh, but thats not where the fun is

Helix · 03-01-2008 5:23pm

but nothing in the way of coherent storyline or anything? its literally just all deathmatch?

Ciaran500 · 03-01-2008 5:25pm

There is a story line but its just basically a way of filling space between bot deathmatches. I'd avoid this if you don't plan on playing multiplayer.

Otacon · 03-01-2008 5:33pm

Well apparently there is a story but it seems to be just a way to explain why you're playing a CTF game or TD.

EDIT: Damn you!

Hornd · 03-01-2008 5:36pm

No storyline to be honest, just a few good looking cut scenes.

No missions or objectives unless you count capture the flag a deep enthralling mission.

But dont get me wrong its great fun and a great multiplayer but thats its. Its a mulitiplayer

Helix · 03-01-2008 5:54pm

ah thats grand like, i love me multiplayer gaming

i just like a smidgeon of 1p to fall back on occasionally as well

Hornd · 03-01-2008 6:10pm

If your looking for a good fps with a good storyline and real depth i reckon HAZE will be the next big thing on the ps3

Only problem is if it ever gets released. Meant to be out in November then January and i think its been put back again. I cant wait for this game.

Supposed to be March now last I read

Varik · 03-01-2008 7:03pm

have it for pc could not wait.
well worth it, playing online or not unreal bots are always miles above the rest

will show up halo3 multiplayer

Buttros · 04-01-2008 1:03am

Would there be any advantage in waiting for the european version to be released in March. Was waiting thinking that the US version wouldnt work here but thats not the case.

Presume anyone who has the game now will have no problem playing on European servers come the release date over here.

I think another dent on the credit card is coming!!

Thanks

Zapp Brannigan · 04-01-2008 1:10am

There'll be no problems with using a US copy on EU servers. Really can't wait to get this tomorrow! Me thinks i'll be driving down to the post office nice and early!!

Buttros · 04-01-2008 2:14am

Thanks Zapp. Just ordered from the link given by the op. € 55.93 inc postage. Not too shabby.

NotorietyH · 04-01-2008 2:44am

God damn it, wouldn't you know it, I go down to my dad's office (it's in our house) to check if it arrived at around 5pm, sure enough it had, right around the time I rip open the envelope our internet goes down and hasn't come back up all night. I'm connecting through my crappy 3 mobile broadband modem at the mo' to write this. What I've played of single player mode is pretty cool though, I'm liking it. It's a nice change of pace after Call of Duty 4 and Team Fortress, just pure old-school madness.

It sounds like something they'd say to try to make you stop buying games online. I have no idea though, I know I've played Warhawk on both US and EU servers, and Resistance too, so if we're not limited to EU servers, i don't see why it wouldn't work the other way 'round

It may depend on the game. I imported COD4 and since the patch was released I can no longer join EU servers, Private or Public. But afaik this is only because of version differences right now. I think when both sides start to run on the same version again I'll be able to join them.
UT3 gives you a server listing like Warhawk so you can choose the lowest ping server to play on. The list doesn't appear to be regionalised as I've seen 1 or 2 servers UK based in the listing.
