[PS3] Unreal Tournament III Mouse and Keyboard gameplay

[kassie2k4]

Devs won't do keyboard and mouse on a multiplayer console game because any player with a mouse has a monumental advantage, even going against controller users with auto aim. I think the only way a controller could compete with a mouse would be if the controller had one of it's sticks replaced with a trackball or very precise inertial simulated touch surface (basically emulating a trackball).

The game I was hoping would also include keyboard/mouse support is Rage. Unfortunately Id software did not support it. Going forward it will be interesting to see if Epic includes kb/m support in future PS3/4 titles.

Another cool thing about this game is you can run your own dedicated server for the ps3 version ON YOUR PC. Epic released the dedicated server software about 2 years ago. Anybody can download it for free and host a server on their pc. Epic also built in mod support which is awesome. You should download the CBP3 map packs(Community Bonus Pack Volume 3). The maps are very high quality.

Do people still play this game? Even after CoD: BO and Killzone 3 came out? Because if so, I am interested in getting it for the multiplayer and KB&M support. I am really sick of all these Tactical Shooters now a days.

@MAT0R0 People still play... but it's usually the same groups over and over again. And they are so good that it's difficult to keep up. Let me know if you pick up the game and I'll hop online and play.

It's nice to see UT3 be given some love. It was highly overlooked this generation. :(

wish I could use a key bourd/mouse ,kinda silly that this gen of consols dont really use them when 90% of games are FPS and the consols are more like pcs

I've been looking to get this game it looks awesome!

[wip3outguy7]

@TheUnbiasedGamer Cool man! Let me know when you do.  We'll play online!

[TheUnbiasedGamer]

@wip3outguy7 Sure i'll make sure to get it for PS3 then! :)

Interesting info about keyboard and mouse use for the consoles. Too bad later games don't have that option.

[wip3outguy7]

@narox Yeah, it's kind of weird how developers just kind of abandoned kb&m support for consoles at some point in the mid 2ks. One of the most controversial removals of support was with the Warhammer "Fire Warrior" FPS on PS2. A demo released on an Official Playstation Magazine demo disc actually included keyboard and mouse support (and it was damned good). The final release of the game had no support. This left a lot of people scratching their heads.
