Video: Unreal Tournament 3 does split screen
One of the additions to the upcoming Xbox 360 version of Unreal Tournament 3 is local split screen. A very useful feature to have when entertaining a buddy or relative who too would like to join in on the carnage. So, today we thought it to be the opportune time to show you a video of split screen UT3 in action. And that's exactly what we embedded above. Everything looks lovely, fast paced and it even sports a solid frame rate to boot, but from what we can tell, a bit more of the players' character gets chopped off to accommodate for the FOV. No matter, it's still a sexy UT3 frag fest.

Yeah, if it's just local it's not a huge deal. But it's still nice, of course.

Yea the people who write these articles seriously need to cover the important stuff instead of rambling about the FOV getting cut off by a fourth of an inch

UT is my game of choice no matter what (UC2 wasn't although). I had so much fun with unreal championship and i hope i have some with this also. Now I have a Idea for the mod thing, why make it kind of like the fileshare system on Halo, I think it would work.

Well the favs is like a sure fire thing but if they can do just a fileshare system like online two your 360 much like bungie does although it is more like you go online hit the link that tells your tag to download that thing next time you login. I think they can do something.

In this case it's not quite as easy... UT's system is far more robust. You can retool things entirely, make new models, create completely new maps.
In Halo 3, everything that's being shared already exists in game. So they don't need to test it and they don't need to worry about file size because nothing totally unique to the system is being transferred.
Maybe they can implement a similar system... as far as sharing goes it would be a great method. But upkeep and implementation would be significantly more difficult.

Im willing to bet that you will have to submit your file share to epic and then they will review it and post it as a downloadable content within the game.

A dead franchise for a dead genre. Fitting for a dying console.

Wow you're so positive, especially glancing over your recent posts, how about you go and find some happiness somewhere and leave us to enjoy our alive franchises, genres and consoles?

n00b. Dead genre? FPS? LOL. I can understand the dead console comment though, the PS3 is pretty much redundant, that's why an improved version of UT3 is coming for the superior Xbox 360 platform.

Its not like you guys are much better than Bowser, bashing on the PS3 as well, your just as bad as him.
You see a troll, no need to sink down to his/her level.

Am I the only one that prefers a side-by-side split screen? Doesn't it make more sense to have an 8:9 aspect ratio vs. 16:4.5? Most split screen games are like this now and it drives me nuts. At least give us the option of doing side-by-side split screen.

I also like side-by-side from the racing games I used to play before I got obsessed with RPGs. Top-bottom splitscreen confuses me now >_>
