quad damage tournament > your triathlon idea

infolink?

Quad Damage tournament = play QW, Q2, Q3/QL and Q4, happened in Quakecon years ago.

Just now you lost every single bit of respect on this website

sif u know what respect is :P

sif he had respect in the first place :p

fox best ever

this. /thread

^^

put DaHanG into that top3...I remember playing on q2 servers and keeping tabs on the news from Quad Dmg. Many of us who actively played q2 with DaHanG (I played briefly on his 4v4 q2tdm squad) could not believe how well he was doing and felt like "one of us" is somehow hanging with and actually putting a lot of pressure on the Tox/Fox machine.

dansen: except that Tox won.

You call yourself a quaker? son?

I wanna see team duel, like in eswc04

Like, duel maps, duel item settings but played 2v2? Got any youtube links? It sounded kinda interesting.

no, 1on1, but different player in each map

Oh I see.

like starcraft team leagues, 1on1 for teams, each team sends one player on per game, best out of 5 or 7 or 9.

Or bo3 with 2 duels and 1 2v2

ukn raping all 3 modes will be even more boring for them

Not if there's money involved.

Wouldn't mind watching ukn raping all modes.

remember the whine last time linkin played competitive CA?

it's enough winning 2 of 3 modes

I'd much rather have q4live than cq3stalerehashonline, bugfixed, 1.3 physics, 1.4.2 everything else but I guess I'm the minority here.

1.4 shaft and hyperblaster would be overpowered as fuck with the slower movement in 1.3

dunno, isn't it 7dmg per cell and 2 and a half cells per pickup ? + I'd keep the cylindrical hitboxes.

fire rate and knockback of the shaft was increased a lot. also the cylindrical hitboxes messed up some of the rampjumps.

All of that could be fixed.

Don't get me wrong. Personally I think 1.4 is the perfect Quake and it doesn't need to be touched. Reason I say that is it takes the best from Q3 and QW - overpowered weapons like QW, but they're situational like in Q3.

However, its much faster than VQ3/QL so its more difficult to grasp for most newbies - much like QW or CPM. Tox said the same but the interview is now taken down from: http://www.sk-gaming.com/content/26370-toxjq_...g_some_1v1

edit: if anyone wants to see the best quake ever, should watch tox's demos from WSVG Toronto 2007

I believe that on paper q4 is the best of both worlds, yes. The only problem being that 1.4 is nearly retarded fast for duel and that the rockets have the same kind of david copperfield pop than in ql ( instapopped to the ceiling for seemingly no reason ).

But I'd rather play that shit than ql anyway.

edit: if that's the interview I'm thinking about it's something like one or two years old, and he complains that you can't lock weapons away from your opponent in ql. That's true but that's unfortunately not coming back, just like actually having to care about ammunition.

Its an earlier interview than that (text form) when he was just starting to play QL after switching from Q4. From what I remember he explains how QL is more about timing and aim, as you dont have the movement advantages over weaker opponents and that you can't really dodge with the unlagged netcode and slower strafing speed. Also I remember he said that he has to concentrate much more to beat weaker players because of that.

edit: I think it was only too fast because the maps needed to be upscaled as they were made for the slower movement pre-1.4

Nx is down to play another clan with this format. We are also down to play a series of 4v4 TDM in QW / CPMA / QLIVE vs any other group of people who would want to try that. I don't think this will ever happen in my lifetime though. Some group of 4 out there prove me wrong please... and be from North America =)

i need to get a 120hz monitor

lol ca

lol shootmania

touche

Do it like in Starcraft Broodwar in Korea where you have a team vs team but it's 1v1 and the team to knock out the other team wins.

dunno about ukn raping, since maybe noctis would gather some players to rape ukn :D

He's too busy with shootmania. :(

How about offline competition where you can improve your result gradually based on points:

Format
----------
defrag time on a long, simple map
3 FFA matches on different maps with the same competitors 7 min each
15 min duel vs sarge nightmare on dm17

Scoring system
---------------------
figure out high range for defrag map and apply ratio to get a score
+
frags accumulated in FFA divided by some ratio
+
frags accumulated in duel

Conciderations
---------------------
Every event must be plain eliminate shortcuts (no quad, tricks, no special advantages)
Every event must be stable to eliminate luck - ffa on different maps for a recoverable amount of time
Every event must have the same weight
--gather enough data to gain meaningful ratio
--find ratio to apply to each event
