    I doubt that this will make me want to give up my COD4 time and SSBB time to play UT3 online again. Maybe after I unlock everything in SSBB...

    Unreal Tournament has never really interested me. Suppose its the fact I like decent single player more then a decent online play.

    We still got a chance at Gears 2, look at Assassins Creed. it was called a PS3 exclusive until the E3 before its release.

    so i played this one for a while and the game looks and plays AWESOME!!!   but it now collects dust because it lacks 4 player split screen...  the only feature i really cared for....  They could dump online altogether for split screen for all i care!!!

    That's a pretty big list of things to fix.  Why did they release it that way to begin with.  I'm tired of big time studios just puttin this sh** out in a hurry.  I would gladly wait an extra month or more if it meant getting the game right the first time.
