I won't be able to try it until tonight, but I heard rumors of this. How quakeish is it? Bunnyhopping? Strafejumping? Or just fast with quick direction changes?

<< Comment #47 @ 20:21 UTC, 10 September 2007 >>

wata - Reply to #44

there are 3 ways to move :
-walking (slow)
-running (quick)
-strafe jumping (a bit quicker, but you don't accelerate more and more ; you just run a bit faster than normal running)

that's not exactly what I would call quakeish

Penn - Reply to #44

The movement is VERY similar to RTCW strafejumping. The only difference is that your speed is dependent on the weapon you have out and you have an unlimited run bar meaning you can strafe jump 100%.

Knifes = Fastest run speed.

<< Comment #95 @ 12:43 UTC, 11 September 2007 >>

Godsmurf - Reply to #76

What other kinds of strafe jumping are there according to you? Strafe jumping originated in Quake and I doubt it's appeared in any other game unless the creators were deliberately mimicing Quake movement.

You probably mean to say "it's not Quake1/2/3ish (take your pick) strafe jumping".

ashr - Reply to #95

i could be wrong but i think RTCW/ET have some kind of strafe jumping in them. i've seen some trickjump vids where they seem to do something of that sort.

<< Comment #118 @ 09:50 UTC, 12 September 2007 >>

becks - Reply to #114

yes they do, its just that you have to press "sprint" as well and on even ground you don't increase speed after the first jump.
If you jump in lower ground you will get faster though.
But usually it's just used for consecutive circlejump to move faster and a few trickjump over wider gaps.

No, you're the schmuck who is wrong.

The current demo build is completely different to the original beta 1 build which featured sewer. Every single gun has had its stats changed, respawn times have been changed as have the armour and health levels of all vehicles. The code is now final, it runs smooth as hell and there are no bullet reg or lag issues.

If you've only ever played beta 1 (the original sewer build) you need to try out the demo as it's completely different.

this way people should learn that focusing on newer overhyped games isn't always the best choice

look at that Quake5 thread.. they all want yet another Quake3 clone ffs. why not stick with Quake3 in the first place?

the uber-so-ever-great Quake3 community could make a free Q3 package with GPL content still compatible with normal Quake3 in an attempt to popularize it.. GPL Quake3 would be downloaded by zillion of people that would worship the game and create a huge audience to suck in sponsors.. bla bla bla.. but no.

Because is the only opportunity left to bring back a game to the "big tournaments". A Q3 clone with updated graphics that feels as good as Q3? Fuck fuckin yes, I prefeer this back to the ammount of fuckin huge pile of crap games they are pulling since Q3 is out of "eSports". If this happens, Q5 will be a game that its worth to be played on a professional level, and things will be theatred in a professional manner.

Theres no way that a "free Q3 made by users" will be on a big event (ESWC, CPL, WCG). Look at Warsow. + adding that it will not be a "free Q3", since you are not allowed to use textures, models, maps, or any media, just the engine.

Anyway, this "free Q3" its being made already: Quake Zero. It will be played by zillions of people since its free and, most important, its web based. It can't be more easy for the newbie. After that, those people that likes the game sure will give a try to the real thing, Q5.

you can make a "free Q3", doh!
- replace models/sounds/textures in the free client
- make the server accept connections from clients with the "free Q3" set of media (this already has been done in QW. you can connect with any models/sounds/textures you like)
- replace the id maps on servers with remakes (since you cannot distribute id maps in a free client) -> which is full of win because you get rid of retarded popular Q3DM6 and make a similar version which isn't so unbalanced

Becaus its not fuckin Q3. It will be some something done by a community. You just can't delete alll the assets on Q3 to replace it with some lame ass textures an models, it will always look cheap. And again, noone is sadly investing money on a 8 year old engine as good as it is.

spare me the bullshit.. or do you know all the possible outcomes of all talented modelers and artists working on remakes of models + textures?

here's one example of a single person's work that makes a difference.. i think the Q3 community can find 20 more guys like him and make something valuable.

And again, noone is sadly investing money on a 8 year old engine as good as it is.
just look at CS 1.6.

anyway.. why the fuck am i bothering?

go Quake5!!
Quake3 was failed by its own fanbase although it's open-source and it should've went in a better direction by now..

Im not saying the outcome will ALWAYS be something cheap (Warsow as the best example), but again, big companies move big money, who has big money? id, valve, and the likes, not community projects. I'll love to play a remake of Q3 done by the community on the Q3 engine, but it won't get into big tournaments.

So yeah, I agree with go Q5. If they betatest with us and put all the features a competitive game needs out of the box (id needs to look at CPMA), it can be the best thing ever.

Well in my opinion ET:Quake Wars is a fine game on it's own, the demo was fun to play for a bit, until you realize that this sort of gameplay sucks beyond belief on public servers.

I lost the nerve when I switched 5 servers and not a single time did an specific class do what it was supposed to do, so I played 3 games where I basicly did everything, construct bridge, drive the MVC (or whatever it is) to the location, build the tower, captured the spawn point, hacked the shield generator and blown the final thing up.

Honestly playing in a clan environment obviously rises the fun for this game, but for public games its a waste of time, people just don't care or are to dumb for objective based games.

I like your comments.. and this is the reason I doubt I will even down load the demo. If you got time to play with your clan then its great. I got time to jump on and kill people for 20 minutes between work and the real life. People are not dumb they are just sheep.

I guess guiding voice messages and iconic presentation is not enough to make people with an IQ the size of yours understand what to do. No wonder the games are getting dumber and dumber form year to year.

And comparing objective based games to other Quake games, where the sole purpose is to frag the opponent aside CTF, where there is only one objective, to bring the flag home, speaks enough about your intelligence German idiot.

It's that the only person's who think I'm are those who don't know me. After that I get the feeling they think i am smarter than i really am :P

And yeah usually newbies don't listen to voice messages or any ways to try and make them do something. They simply want to try out stuff first. Run around, shoot, drive a vehicle etc. until they a ready to experience the whole of the game.

It was like that in rtcw, in enemy territoy and quess what in the betas as well. And then miraculously after some time people started playing for the objectives and teamplay came up. And it had nothing to do with arrogant people such as you probably insulting everyone on the server.
Ojn and btw, in the end there come a lot of idiots along who always spam "NO OBJECTIVES OR KICK!!!" cause they just want ffa. Maybe you ran into a bunch of those?

But, no, It's definately down to me not understanding how to play it. Have you ever tried this "thinking" thing people talk about?

I personally like the game, nothing new naturally, but every class has some nice things that can add deep in a clan based war.
I think the game could be really nice and fun to be played with your clan, still it will be way hard to form 8 people teams, arrange practice and so on, not to mention bootcamp :)

Still playing objective game on the Inet as FTY said is impossible, add that you need a nasa pc to run it well and the job is done.

Is there any way to have the crouch button binded with a lock instead of pressing it down?

Ps: i would like to play in a team :)

I lost interest after 2 minutes.

MASSIVE mouse lag, regardless which settings (I got a good machine, such a lag is not normal). I'm sure it can be tweaked somehow, but as many people will have that they better make lag suppression the default.

I had the same problem, it's to do with the monitor set up.

bring down console, ctrl alt + tilde

type r_mode 5
then
r_displayrefresh 60

then

vid_restart

You should then be able to see the menu and go ni and set it up from there

Hm, why are there two punkbuster services running all the time?

When I uninstalled ET (couldn't run it. worth a try ;)), the two punkbuster services were still listed in services.msc. I had to remove them with sc delete PnkBstrA etc.

Those setting supposedly give better fps but they also give you better visibility.

seta image_globalPicMip "-2"
seta image_specularPicMip "-2"
seta image_bumpPicMip "-2"
seta image_diffusePicMip "-2"

You might want to unlock your fps too:

seta com_unlockFPS "1"
seta com_unlock_maxFPS "120"
seta com_unlock_timingMethod "0"

took 30 mins to download it...

took 4 minutes to install it...

took 45 minutes gametime to realise im not buying it...

took 1 minute to uninstall it...

shoulda used the q3 engine if you wanted to make a good game...I feel sick about whats in store for quake 5 :-(```````

games just keep going downhill...all game makers seem to be following in Epic's footsteps where they think gfx = gameplay instead of gameplay > gfx

most serious gamers that will play a game for the long haul will turn everything OFF anyway...stop with the "cool gfx" and just give us FUN GAMES already.

the movment is like SP quake 4...
the vehicle controls and movment are horrible...
the weapons are horrible...

could go on but Im tired of thinking about the game so ill stop there and go play World of Warcraft a while then go play Quake 3 later...

no even if everyone of the competitive fps community bought one, and those are the only ones likely to, if would hardly cover the developement cost.

Then we've come to the point where there's no return imho. For games to become what we want them to be (gameplay > gfx) developers shd pay attention to what the competitive players want, which means, today, games shd be developed regardless of what the single player want it to be.

And that is idd never going to happen...

I played all quakes, but after q4 crashed again I went back to quakeworld. Now I carry the game around on my usb-stick and can even play it from usb stick at work when the boss is gone :)

Seriously; if there's nice gameplay I really couldn't care less about the newest games with newest graphics wich makes you buy a new pc and requires so freaking much harddisk space.

Now I know syncerror replied to a similar post to go play console games if you don't wanna buy a new pc every 2 - 3 year, but I disagree with that because in the end games should be fun. If I can have fun with quakeworld, then that's it - I never have to buy a new pc again until it breaks down on me :)

Well, I do have to say that when I just played the ETQW demo, performance was suprisingly good on my gf6600 TD 256, wich isn't seen as a very good vidcard by most gamers. My further specs are:

Athlon X2 3800
2 gig ram

I only tried at LOW settings, but again - the performance was fine on my system. Haven't checked fps though...

My clan mates and I managed to complete 2 campaigns as GDF in 30 minutes.

This game can be incredibly fun when you get a bunch of your mates on ventrilo and play the game as a team, using all the perks the game can offer you. To all you haters, stop being pig headed. Of fucking cause the map is shit, we all know that, but that doesn't take away anything from the game itself. Which overall is more solid OUT OF THE BOX than ANYTHING in at least 3 years.

I'm a little bit dissapointed. The game is good, imo, but I expected it to be some more like ET. The combats seems to happen at larger ranges in ETQW, and be less violent. Comes down more strategical where ET was more action packed. Still a good game, but I miss the brutality of ET.
