I was just thinking about this. I've played a decent amount of both but really only beat Unreal. I pic unreal just because the engine looks so much nicer. They both have had numerous mods, online crowds and other games based on the same engine. Maybe I'm wrong in comparing these two but I think they're are almost exactly at competion level. I could one day see a game "Quake vs Unreal"

Day of Defeat mod for Half-Life. Even spanks the snot out of Counterstrike.

As for Quake III vs Unrealtournament, I think that UT is less of a frag fest and a bit more thought, so I prefere it.

He was referring to Quake 1 vs. Unreal 1.

The reason I voted for Unreal is that Quake Single Player is just you running around shooting things, and you do the same thing every level: hit switches, jump, shoot, get to the teleporter. Unreal is more than that.

But Quake is better for multiplayer. Unreal is unplayable even with a cable modem.

Quake III. There's just something... perfect about the deathmatch. There's something zen like about the controls that is more perfect than UT.

You mean Quake3 vs Unreal Tournament? In that case I'd definitely pick Quake3.

Quake, hands down.

I still believe their engine is the best one out on the market for graphics, netcode and everything really related to FPS games. Unreal has come a heck of a long way, but its not quite "Quake" still. If Unreal had some more optimizing (i.e. asm), then it could be better.
