March 5 is the planned release date for the
planned Titan Pack
for
Unreal Tournament III, a large free update for Epic's first-person
shooter that's coming to PC and PlayStation 3, but looks like it will not be
coming to the Xbox 360 due to download limitations (even though it's
considerably smaller than the new GTA4 pack). There are new previews of the pack
on
BeyondUnreal,
Big Download,
The Escapist,
IGN,
and
Planet
Unreal with details, hands-on impressions, and screenshots of the new
gameplay modes and 16 new maps the add-on will include. Here's a bulleted
feature list from
Planet Unreal

Deathmatch, and three CTF maps – that are new to the PC and PS3 versions
