Oh yes, they eliminated Double Domination too. Really, the only things UT3 has over UT 2004 are the campaign/story mode (which is playable with up to 4 human players, which is very very cool) and the graphics, which are fantastic if you have a high-end computer or a PS3. I'm running it in 1680x1050 res with max detail and getting about 30-40 fps on my monster machine (Core2Duo 3.00GHz, x1950 video, 8GB RAM) on average.
By comparison, I can get in the hundreds of fps in the same res and max detail in UT 2004. I think I hit 350fps once, with it going as low as about 90 in some cases. I've never seen a framerate more than about 50 fps in UT3 on my machine, and that's rare. Just a note: UT3 DOES utilize a multicore CPU and you suffer greatly without one. My CPU runs 100% (both cores) nearly the entire time the game is running (unlike games that don't support multicores, which only use 50% of the CPU when the game is running). It's a CPU hog from the deep darkness, I tell ya! I've got a Pentium 4 (single core, 3.00GHz) with a Radeon 9550 video card and 3GB of RAM...the game is barely playable in 640x480 resolution and minimum detail on that machine.
Other than those two points, I'd say UT3 is a step backwards in the series.
