What the fuck? Has anyone SEEN the UT community? Seriously, it's the worst community I've ever seen. I don't blame Quake players for not playing UT3, it's a terrible game right now, with a low chance of tournament potential.

Quake community > UT community. I've been around in both, and the UT'ers are too arrogant and naive.

That has nothing to do with me liking the game. I honestly find the ut community very friendly. yes we have the odd few who I'm not proud of being a part of the community, but overall it's quite nice. but I probably base it mainly on the scandinavian community, which for a large part consists of players who're well on their way to their 30's, or already there... not so many kids who just lame around.

No, it just happens that a large percentage of the people who post are quake players and far less are UT/CS/Other. This mean discussion generally centres around the topic most common to the posters, that being Quake.

Side Note: ESR and Unrealnorth are incomparable as websites as unrealnorth is designed specifically for the UT scene and as far as I know only concerns itself with UT news/etc whereas ESR covers the whole of Online Gaming (it can do if the users want at least).

It's quite easy to have a seemingly better attitude when everyone is thinking the same, or at the very least think similar (And if I am correct unrealnorth moderate the comments far more). On ESR you'll never get that due to it having a greater amount of splits in its user base and far less moderation.

Q3 isn't as old as starcraft, and look where that game has gone, theres new players in starcraft all the time, constantly working their way up and making it on Korean TV.
So it is because Q3 is a great game and it has been "stuck with" all these years by so many. Q3 happens to be the "the game" for a lot of people and they're not gonna settle for anything less. We Only Want The Best. Not the so called, "latest and greatest", We will be the judges of what that is.

where you were born isn't the essential criteria (means you're real chinese, but if you weren't born there then it doesn't necessarily mean you're fake chinese)

do you speak the language (speak as in fluent)? lived there? visit there? watch the dramas? listen to the music?

otherwise youre just a fake chinese person who's forgotten about their heritage

I've lived in many countries, speak most of these countries' local languages; I also happen to know their "cultural heritabe" (ie: history, music and "dramas" as you put it). Albeit, I only have two nationalities. One I don't have any of these links with; and as for the other I only speak 1 of the 4 national languages, know and understand 1 of the 4 national "cultural" heritage..

Should I go to the UN and ask for a "Laissez-Passer"; or rather ask for the French, American and Spanish citizenship right away?

You cannot be a "real" citizen; the concept of "country" and "citizenshp" was created by men and, thus, cannot be verified. It's up to "YOU" (in other words, society and laws) to determine whether you are a "real" or "fake" citizen. It's not something you are, it's something you become.

You have a social security number, live in your parent's basement and.. keep hoping you get laid. The other life is lived in computers, where you go by the alias "Dird" and constantly break balls of ESR user by acting like a douchebag. One of these lives has a future, and one of them does not.

Instagib? Honestly, Carmac. I think you are forgetting a few things:

1) The full load doesn't kill you with sufficient armor / HP.
2) It's not hitscan. It's a pretty slow projectile which is less "instant" the further away you are.
3) You can clearly hear someone carry a bio load and make sure you are far away from them.
4) This gun has no amazing kill rate in publics, it's mostly used as an escape/underdog gun.
5) After being hit, you have up to 2 seconds to retaliate.

It's fully counterable, it is skilled, and IMO it's one of the most fun weapons in the UT series.

I read the entire article and here is what I have to say...

""""stryfe: Well, I see UT3 as the last chance for any real competitive 1v1 DM games; we all know consoles are making more and more money, and I think that PC's are going to be left behind in the next half-decade or so. If people want to at least experience UT or DM in general, then they should do so now."""

Dude if your putting the hope that UT3 will save the 1v1 DM competitive scene your dead wrong. I can't even watch a UT highlight reel for 10 seconds without getting extremely bored. UT3 is bad, sorry to say; and there are more reasons to why the game isnt' selling well besides "bugs". Its not fun, doesn't look fun, and worst of all no strafe jump. I could play the Quake fanboy for a bit, but when your used to strafe jumping and what not everything else just seems primitive. It would be like watching two toddlers fight in a baby pen. Not really exciting. If you want to save the 1v1dm scene wait for Quake Live or atleast another GOOD game to come out.

.... Oh yeah and the console market taking over is garbage, they will never have the same community of gamers like PC, people in console change their mind up too much. PC gamers actually stick with games they like for years. Also.. games like COD4 are doing exceptionally well, so to think that UT3 is the last chance or all else is fail is..well rediculous.

I've noticed... some people are not real people. They're more like walking, talking sexual organs. If you attempt to have a conversation with them, they only understand you if there is a corresponding sexual connotation. Which is slightly different from mutual emotional masturbation.

Are you actually sure about your statement? I heard that COD 4 while it sells well isn't played as much as PC because of patch type issues etc.

Now my statement wasn't really saying that PC will sell more than COD4..

I just said COD4 can do well so can any other PC game, and I know its not a DM game, and infact I mentioned Quake Live as an example of future DM games. I just said if COD4 can do well on PC so can other PC games, but people who play PC games usually stay with them.. ie q3 players keeping it alive and well.

Most console gamers lose interest in less than 6 months... thats most.. I know there are still hardcore halo guys out there.

My god your try to get me down is just so stupid. If this type of comment doesn't get to your mind as something reeaaaallly anormal, then I'm sorry for you but I'm not gonna shut up...

beside of this, This thread is about UT3 and I just see quakers insulting the game and saying it's already dead and so on etc etc etc..., AND SO WHAT? just stop talking and go play, we don't need quakers to talk about UT community or anything else like this... It seems that this kind of news is affecting them deeply... but if the game just suck so hard and no one plays it then, I just don't understand why... and at least don't want to...

Sorry I'm just a little UTer so I didn't know I would have to teach somethin' to a quaker!

don't play with the words, you're bad with it. And for the sales numbers, I don't know why you're still talking if OFFICIALS say it's dead, then it is and there's no reason talking about?what some Damn irrationnal things you're sayin'! stop now or it'll be too late to keep some credibility man.

Yep. That and release hype, is definitely a requirement for success. And by success I mean noobs. And by noobs I mean people who prefer teambased gameplay.

As for competitive scene success, it's not happening. The original competitive players generally stick with their games and rarely, if ever, port to other platforms. Nor do they get new players from the outside, because the games are "too old" or lack the standard teamplay thing.

in that case they go where the fun is, in the first place
long time no see a new game which has a good gameplay (fun) and a solid engine (reliable on an average pc) (and not months after release and hype passed)

last attempts in mainstream products :
-q4 : pos on release on all points, got better 1.5 year later gameplay-wise, better engine but still have stupid netcode technology
-ut3 : bugged and lacking of so much things on release ; flaws in gameplay (could use a revamp à la q4 1.3)
(btw : why didn't epic let Digital Extremes take care of ut3's gameplay like they did with ut99/2003/2004 ?)

next attempts :
quake zero (possibly an easy win here)
tribes 4
q5 arena ?

Particularly Quake Zero, which is going to eat heavily out of Q3 and hardly get anything from the outside. I mean, Q2 and Warsow are free and can be DLed and installed in a few secs. How is QZ going to be different? Because it's browser-launched? Ehh..

SC2 is probably the only real esports alternative on the horizon, and sadly, it's probably some DoTA/team mod of it that's going to be the real big thing.

It is free since you don't really need the pak0.pak as I said. Just get the r1q2 client and jump on to a server, the mod will most probably be "battle", which you don't need to download. You play both duel and team with battle. Just change the timelimit (in quake 2 you usually play 10 minute duels).

Yes! That's it. I felt *exactly* like a "skilled pianist" as soon as I'd mastered the strafemaps I practiced on in Q4. Like a skilled pianist who only played the same perfectly timed sequence in the same tempo.. over.. and over.. and over.. and over..

You only had one set of strafe pads? 'cause otherwise, the tempo isn't exactly the same. The jumps are further apart slightly, and the mouse curve is harder.
That's the whole thing I ranted about so much when UT3 came out and i was trying it out, it's that Strafejumping is a learned skill, with infinitely varying degrees of usage.
Like I kept saying then, it's not "on or off" like double tapping a side step button, there's a fluidity to it that is absent from every other type of game.
Not trying to have this argument with you again, since I'm pretty sure it was you I was saying this to last time, and really, i do wish some of these ppl would get off you and UT's case, but unfortunately that's just the way ESR is. it's integrated into the psyche of so many esr users it's pathetic.

BUT!!! You are severely downplaying the significance of strafe jumping properly. It's not on off, it's not just for straightlines unless it's vq3 gameplay (which i don't play)..
There is much more involved than that.

i honestly believe that the movement has a much higher open ceiling of freedom than all combat tactics added together.
For every variation of a rail/grenade/rocket/pummel combo, there are 100 ways to go around it, go over it, or just crouch-slide right between the bullets.

Nah.. I loved Q4 and I thought strafejumping was fun, but let's not exaggerate it with the whole "pianist" thing like our representative from the romanian countryside tried to do.

The actual movement or action in dodgejumping is linear, and there is no momentum that can be built up. This is correctly observed. But dodging isn't really a transport skill, and the "fluent" variables involved are angles, timing and air control.

"Q3 [...] It's like a private, stubborn community that will never try anything else"

imo that's totally wrong.
most quakers have certainly tried most fps, including learning ut's dodging gameplay
I believe most UTers which have tried quake have not learned strafe jumping, because it's so "secret" and furthermore not as "immediate" as dodging
not mentioning most "realistic" fps players who probably didn't try to adapt to a fast paced fps, because it's not as easy as camping behind a wood box with an instant hit weapon (on the other hand uters and quakers can go play cs in its depth and get bored)

You really think players who are competitive in UT, when they come to Q3 and see people swooping past them while bunnyjumping, won't stop and think "hmm.. I gotta learn that!"

Strafejumping is no magic trick and it takes a short time to learn. There are tons of other things in Q3 that are far more difficult to master.

you won't learn dodgerunning intuitively, and I don't believe there are any tutorials on exactly how to feign / time dodging in combat either.

As for Q4, the issue there is there is no casual player scene. There are however a number of people who duel in Q4 for fun, on a quite high level without any hope of getting any money. On pubs in Q4 you will meet quite good players usually.

And my point was in regards to your first post; that a competitive UT player somehow couldn't or wouldn't learn strafejumping. Which was a statement worthy of a representative from a closed gaming village. =P

Epic pretty much killed UT3 with their so called beta demo, which they never bothered to fix just so they could get their christmas release. It is very tempting to spend money on a game where you can't even save your sens if you write it in console and the sensitivity bar jumps in huge steps, a server browser that makes it incredibly hard to get on a server etc. Wonder how they could fail to notice the problems that killed Q4 out of the box........

Crysis afaik did barely ok due to system requirements, and sandbox gameplay which a lot of FPS gamers dislike. It did however get lots of press thanks to it's graphics and being the successor to FarCry.

Modelling picture? I've had pictures taken of me with nice cameras, like a Canon Rebel XT or something, so does that mean I'm a model? No, someone just wanted to take a picture of me with that camera, and maybe they asked me to pose or something.

Some people are incapable of reaching high enough mental-speeds to appreciate quake. Not due to stupidity... due to chemical differences. Specifically, a dopamine difference can allow a person to 'hyperfocus'. When hyperfocusing takes place, the person moves mentally at a significantly higher-speed than a normal dopamine level allows. It is like slowing down time - a matter of perception. The cat does the same thing.

This means, certain high-speed games might always be difficult to sell mainstream. The common person simply does not have the right chemical composition.

And... girls r cool.

"Q3 is a dynasty and its' players will never, ever, let it die. It will always be used in some fashion. The problem is that Q3 is such a long-standing game that you'll never see new faces coming in and causing upsets. It's like a private, stubborn community that will never try anything else; and there are literally thousands of them."

This is such a stupid statement... I mean, people still play Counterstrike 1.6, so who cares that Quake (3) is an old game.

Personally, I think these people just don't understand Quake because they never learned how to play it properly, so they don't even understand the game. It's only when you really know the game that you'll come to respect what's going on and appreciate the insane skill involved. On top of that, it's not our fault that newer games are not better games.

Wow, you people take everything wrong fucking way. I didn't mean it in a negative way. People don't leave Q3 for a reason, because it works, and they've put years and years of their lives into it and it's still to this day active. UT can't say that, especially not now with UT3. If you've ever seen me talk without being edited you would see I praise the ever living hell out of Quake 3 and it's community. Maybe if you weren't so hooked on defending your game 24/7 you would have realized that, hence the stubbornness comment which you just proved.

You didn't mean it in a negative way... well, "private, stubborn community that will never try anything else" sounds pretty negative to me... perhaps you should have chosen your words more carefully. You could have known people would take it the wrong way.

Anyway, I personally played all Dooms, Heretic, all Quakes, UT99 & UT2003, AVP1, Serious Sam, Warsow, Half-Life, HL2, Far Cry, ET: QuakeWars demo, and more ...but for some reason I ultimately got back to QW which is the most exciting to me and I'd love to see it getting the attention it deserves. At some point, after always making the switch to the newer games, I simply realized that there's still no substitute for the fastest, most skillful, most brutal fps action game ever created. Especially with this new nQuake stuff and QTV. Instead of watching boring television I watch QW battles :)

Think about it man, it's not just the price of the game, it's the price of a whole new pc + higher electricity bills (monster videocards) that people have to buy for playing the newest game and if that's not even a better game then what they already have ... why the hell bother? Screw new games, unless it's really a step forward, which often is not the case.

I'd love to see companies forget about using the newest graphics engine and instead focus on gameplay/movement only and perhaps improve the netcode and stability where possible. But instead, they screw up and the new games need multiple patches to make things decent. That's what Q4 suffered from as well as we all know, even though I liked 1.3 and was happily buttsliding through the levels. Then came the 1.4.1 & 1.4.2. patches and .... for some reason I got more problems then before and I simply quit playing it.

And don't think I don't have the money, because I could buy the newest pc right now if I wanted to.

oh no I was talking about QW and Halo at the same time, don't think I'm being antiquake here, just anti-q3. Calling me a "QW smug" isn't quite appropriate because I play lots of other games, it's just that the only game around these parts I don't like is VQ3/OSP/Q4 (all the same shit to me)

Aquashark seems to think I quit playing QW for Halo but the reality of the situation is I've been playing Halo on the side the whole time, I quit playing QW for Starcraft

you're trying to force a yes/no answer out of a question that doesn't have one

Q3 1v1 may be entertaining to watch but it i find it a total chore to play, a chore that mostly consists of running backwards. greatly prefer CPM there.

i like MLG TS better than I do VQ3 tdm, and I'd rather be playing a good old QW clanwar above both of them, but the american community is pretty much dead for anything beyond FFA, 1v1 and the occasional 2v2. I find halo 1v1 to be just as laughable as i find osp tdm, if it's any consolation. it isn't the end all of games but its competitive merits are far greater than anyone on ESR gives it credit for.

It's mostly that damn controller that gets in the way, and the fact that your typical ESR user's experience with the game doesn't go beyond playing the game once or twice with their friends (who are likely awful at the game) on the default ruleset

this is like trying to base the competitive merits of Quake 3 on a pubbie ffa instagib server, or the competivie merits of Starcraft on a 4v4 on BGH. The difference in gameplay between H3 MLG and default is just as massive.

yes we did try something else, but in lack of any decent competitor, we came back to q3

"The problem is that Q3 is such a long-standing game that you'll never see new faces coming in and causing upsets. It's like a private, stubborn community that will never try anything else"

This seems to be the focus of 90% of the comments in this thread lol...I know what he means and it seems like everyone is taking it out of context, but he should have worded it better...
still...i'll play your precious UT3 when it comes even remotely close to giving me the fun i want when i play a video game...
until then im not gonna waste time playing something i don't enjoy because it might eventually become good, which even if it does i still won't enjoy it because i've always played quake over ut :p so until q5 comes out (if its good) ill just stick with q3/QL and cod4 :p and gta4 and super smash bros when they come out! (if they are good which i expect they will be)
