all of these other threads talk so much smack about this game and how the free weekend is a fail, but i've been playing this with my friends and have had a blast doing so, so im planning on dropping the $12 tomorrow to keep playing the thing.

I've had it since launch...let's just say it was a nostalgia-fueled purchase.

Free weekend? How many people were actually able to play it on that weekend, for free?

Anybody with Steam. It's actually still going on if you can manage to download all 8.6GB (I believe that's how big it is) before the free offer ends sometime tomorrow (likely around noon PDT).

Mine is downloading in the background, if it manages to finish in time I'll give it a quick blast tomorrow, if not, ohwell.
As for buying it, only if I really like it.

thinking about getting the ps3 version because the movement speed is slower. my reflexes cant compete online, so its not worth it really. maybe i will play more. it doesnt look like many people are buying it, because they extended the sale date to march 22nd, which leads me to think that maybe they will do another free weekend.

Nope, still don't got a computer for it.

The free weekend kinda totally broke, so I don't think many people are playing it.

works for me, and enough other people for competition.

I bought it from gamestop, i like box and disc :).

I'm really tempted to get it. I guess I have until the 22nd to think about it.

I bought it immediately without trying it for free first - it's Unreal Tournament, and $12 is a steal.

I might buy it,it's only 12 bucks right now,also i might pick up Red Orchestra and Orange Box.

Ive been downloading it since thursday but combine my crappy download speed (max 120kb/s :() and the fact it decides to not download sometimes just for fun and that means if im super duper duper duper smooper lucky ill get 4 1/2 minutes to play including set up :| But I might buy it, you can get a retail disk copy for £5 now so sounds good to me.

Well I played the free weekend, not very much since the download was rather large... is a fair game, I think is what Unreal is and that is that. Unreal2k4 was a blast for me at large lanpartys (more than 30).
This one is good, it runs very well but I just dont love it enough, I feel that this games (for my taste), they get old pretty fast. I rather spend my time with TF2.

Of course if you played the free weekend and enjoyed it you should buy it since the price tag is great.

I was still playing UT2004 and a bit of the Xbox Championship games when UT3 came out and the demo did not sell itself well.  It seemed like noticeably less of a game than the then-current ones.
For some reason, though, $12 is about right for that amount of game.  So I bought it in the middle of the week between free weekends. 
Spending some time with it now has reversed my first impressions since I get to actually see more map types, weird little tweaks and the newer, really enjoyable Betrayal mode.  The single player seems pretty atrocious, but that's nothing new for UT.  It being embarrassingly earnest is probably new.

The servers are vacuums, and no amount of new content can make up for it. It's a shame, too. Warfare is a really cool concept.

I bought it for 360 around launch, and I have regretted my purchase. It is depressing to see how empty the UT servers are this day.

Nope, didn't like the weapons.
