Is it only free to PLAY until Sunday, or I can download it for free by Sunday and I own it forever? I'm confused.

Which one seems more likely?

Well the way you wordered it makes it seem like it is a free game (to own) until Sunday:
Look, like I said, the game is free until Sunday night. Is FREE too expensive for you bastards?


You may want to add "to play" after free just to avoid more confusion - it got me too tbeeghly.

If anyone needs clarification, they can click the fucking link. Saying "Free to play" doesn't make it any more clear. You play games you own, same as the ones you're demoing.

To anyone having trouble downloading:

1. Set download region to Philippines
2. Restart steam
3. ????
4. Profit.


Not sure if that works, but its worth a shot.

It just makes it easier on those of us reading the forum. I mean just compare:
Look, like I said, the game is free to play until Sunday night.

and
Look, like I said, the game is free until Sunday night.


It doesnt really effect me since Im just going to buy a copy anyway

Only in terms of system requirements. Otherwise UT3 has everything 2k4 has except Assault mode or whatever they called it in that one. UT3 is a fantastic meld of 2k4's gameplay with UT99's style, and a lot of little new touches strewn about.

Also you said "was" better. Perhaps that is true. It "was" better until the titan patch.

I was hoping for a solid rebuttal, Moz. I'll give the new patch a try.

I absolutely 100% agree with Moz on this. I've been playing the game off and on for months and will spend a lot more time with it now that there's this new pack/trophies. Of course, I play it on the PS3, so I have to wait a few more weeks for the patch :( . Once it's out, we should get a few rounds going on a server with everyone from the forums.
