Thanks for the warning! I'll probaly get the Titan Pack but won't worry too much about the black edition.
I have UT3 already. What's the difference?
Can only go by what it includes accoring to Steam
The “Titan Pack†gives players a substantial amount of enhanced features and new content, including many original environments, new gametypes, the namesake Titan mutator, powerful deployables and weapons, new characters, and the Stealthbender vehicle.
Also included are sweeping enhancements to AI, networking performance, UI usability and mod support, plus the addition of 57 Steam Achievements to make the UT3 experience even more satisfying. The “Titan Pack†also brings client-side demo recording, major Server Browser enhancements, a new maplist system, plus mid-game mutator and gametype voting functionality to the PC.
