Meh, lucky rocket shot.
MSG me in IRC sometimes, I'll play you, 1v1 duel on hell's gate ( only map i play :> )

Although, I havn't played for almost a year now and I've never been good at FPS games :<

I also have Quake III, but I play Quake Live more often.

Don't they use quakelive for quakecon stage shows or some shit.

Excessiveplus is win, but QL has a mod called "instagib" which is very similar.

My favorite q3 mod though is Defrag (because it doesn't involve killing which I suck at ;_;)

It's liek trick jumping, these guys are doing it in reg maps, but there's actual custom maps where you have to make it through obstacles.

But yea, quake is free and online and easy to play multi with friends.

Okay, lets say this is now Quake Topic.

I just want to ask that how much does LG does damage? I heard it does multiply its damage.

I enjoy q3a because it's a VERY fast paced game.
Playing duel in a small map is seriously amazing.
It's probably one of the rare fps games I actually play and enjoy, but I still suck at it.

I was UT99 player before Quake, and now when I tried to play UT99...

...I tried to stafe jump.

That's why I love Quake.

Personally I'm up for any unreal and quake live.

But strafe jumping is king.

I have ut3 on steam too, but honestly, I see it as a completely different type of game.
q3a is a fastpaced fps played in a small map, whereas ut3 is usually played in bigger maps, with vehicles and shitload of different weapons and shit. I enjoy playing in coop though.

Another reason why I like QL better is that old engines like quake and goldsrc have very simple physic and movement systems that are actually fun to play. (strafing, bhoping, etc). Newer engines though limit you so much to make it feel more "realistic", like, you don't even get to actually go up ladders or even fucking jump for yourself anymore in some of them.

CS was known for having shitload of exploitable bugs which lead to KZ and SURF. Many of them were actually pretty underground and unknown to most, such as the "jump bug" which consists of unducking and jumping 4units before touching the ground, and you get no fall damage (it gets harder if you were falling from higher since you have a higher velocity and it's insanely hard to time it).

EDIT: Just as I finish typing this, some dude sends me this:

There is one awesome thing about UT99 - Monster Hunt. It's unofficial mod where you must complete levels and eliminate all enemy NPC. You can do it alone or with your friends. I know, UT2K4 has similar thing, but I don't like it. It is just survival.
