Since its inception, Mark Rein made it clear that one of the deciding factors of developing Unreal Tournament 3 for the Sony PlayStation 3 is its online infrastructure which allows easy access to mods. Now that Midway and Epic Games' frantic first-person shooter is almost set to explode on the Microsoft Xbox 360, Rein is saying mods may actually come to the console after all.

During the Midway Gamers' Day event (the epicenter of Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe's earth shattering reveal), Epic's head honcho said user-generated content for Unreal Tournament 3 on 360 is not out of the question. To quoute:

We know some of these great mods are going to play a role on Xbox 360, even if we have to get some people and bring them over ourselves. We'll figure it out.

Unfortunately, Rein did clarify user mods won't be included when Unreal Tournament 3 launches on the console. There are talks between Epic and Microsoft, but no confirmation of mods being distributed for free or purchasable by Microsoft Points like other downloadable content on the platform.
