The title says it all. Which do you prefer?

Unreal Tournament is worlds above Quake 3.
It's also a lot cheaper.
Buy UT. You won't regret it.

UT.
Q3 has nicer graphics, but UT has better gameplay and Marathon: Ressurection

Never playied Q3, so i'll go with UT. my only problem is the controls. having only 1 mouse button makes it VERY annoying, specialy in multiplayier. that and the fact that i suck at it is about the only down fall of the game.

Buy a mouse with two or more buttons. Trust me, it makes everything a hell of a lot easier.

I have my right mouse button set to secondary weapons fire, the two side mouse buttons set to switch weapons, and my scroll wheel button for jump.

I don't use my mouse at all to play UT. I just use the keyboard and my lightning fast reflexes

I'm going with UT on this one - much more interesting gameplay.

I always knew UT was better than Q3, just didn't expect EVERYONE to agree with me

Hmmm. I've never seen anyone play a decent game of UT without using the mouse...

I'll have to break the pattern. I prefer Q3A. Why? I've played Unreal Tournament demo on my computer and I've played Q3A at CompUSA. After about 5 minutes and a dozen lives I was able to fight very well in Q3A. Unreal Tournament just doesn't work as well.

I don't see the appreciation of UT. The graphics are, well, kinda' cruddy, the sounds don't seem appropriate -- it doesn't sound right falling from a twenty story building and making a soft sigh-like noise -- and it's not as fast on my computer. Q3A has better graphics, renders a nice explosion when a corpse pops into bits, realistic sounds, and I don't have that jagged-line feel. Oh yeah...and the rail gun. That should spell it out right there.

Admittedly Q3A team play is weak, but not the game as a whole. Q3TA is a lot better in a lot of fields in functionality, team play, and graphics.

THe flow has changed... Q3A. ut is nice, but Q3A has the best mods ever. Q3:Jailbreak, Q3:CTC, and my personal favorite, the all king Urban Terror Q3A conversion. (Check it out, www.urbanterror.net) I think its all around just a nicer game.
