Epic has released a free map pack for Unreal Tournament III which PC gamers can download online and PS3 owners can download straight through PSN.  The pack includes three maps, two re-makes (Facing Worlds and Mobias) along with one new map (Searchlight).  Kudos to Epic for continuing to support their games by delivering quality free content.  I'm pretty stoked about getting an updated Facing Worlds as John and I both spent a ton of time playing the original map back in the day.
