So I installed quake 3 tonight, hadn't played it in a year or two...

Man I suck. I used to be pretty good, but I was just getting destroyed tonight. The game does look better than it ever did before on whatever graphics card I used to have, though.
 
I know the exact feeling. I played the q3dm17 demo and I bought the game right when it came out, and even played threewave ctf. I stopped playing for.. 2 years or so maybe? Recently when I got here at college we had a q3 tournament at the university LAN and that was the most fun I've had in a long time. q3 > cs. I can feel the replies bashing this thread already. :evil:
 
i never played q3, i just realized this...
i should get a copy. i was into unreal tournament when they came out...maybe i can find one somewhere after work today.

oh speaking of UT...infiltration mod 2.89 was just released, love that mod

Hmm, haven't played Infiltration in a long time. Time to download! 🙂
 
Q3 has stayed fun to me. I still like to play it a couple times a week. The excessive mod(server side, no client download needed) is a hoot to play! 😀
 
Best part is that any reasonably modern video card can run it at 1600x1200 (or higher)x32 with AA & AF cranked up.

Very good story, notfred 🙂

Tell that to my Celeron 1000 cpu 🙁
 
you should also check out the Urban Terror mod for Quake 3 -- been playin it since the first beta and it kicks some serious arse

Yup, my sucky (250/200) Radeon 8500LE played it at full res/settings glassy smooth.
 
I was a Quake 2 addict when I had a K6-2 380 and Voodoo3.
Quake 3 would run on it, but it sucked.

The first time I tried Q3 after upgrading to an XP 1700+ with GF3 Ti200, it was simply awesome. I got into it for awhile, but then I got hooked on MOH, then BF1942. I've gone back and played Quake 2 and 3 a couple of times, but it just isn't nearly as fun for me as MOH and BF now.
 
Sounds like myself and UT. I used to play UT like a crazy man back in the day, and I just recently purchased UT2k3. Wow, simply pathetic.
 
Heh, I remember when Quake 2 came out. I told my networking teacher (in 10th grade) that I was ready for Quake 3. We were trying to think about what it might be like.

I still never bought Quake 3.

Q2 is good enough for me.
 
q2 god here, I used to pwn LMCTF and insta. LMCTF is the best mod by far in any game to date. if any of you know what LMCTF was(lokis minion CTF), you knew wtf it was all about.

lets have a AT q2/q3 tournie

I use to own at Q2, but I'm so used to the slower pace of MOH and BF1942 that I would get my ass kicked now.

Yeah, that will kill you. Playing Raven Shield has destroyed my fast paced FPS skills.

Agreed. I've always liked that mod. Can't say the same about its developers though...

edit: but 3.1 is really good... not as good as 2.3 😉 but I can now forgive them for 2.6
