You've beaten xaero on nightmare then? (only counts if you hit the game limit with no deaths).

I got to 9-0 against him once on nightmare, I ended up losing 10-9 :mad:

Think that was the closest I ever came.

Took 3 years of online competitive play before I could beat him 10-0 lol - doubt I could do it today though was in my prime at the time.

I played multiplayer Q3 for, hmmm, 13 years. Never even attempted a 10-0 on Nightmare Xaero. I played him quite a few times and won plenty, but never 10-0. I remember that if you were visible to him at all, you got railed. I was like dammit, I get enough of that **** from bot hax0rs online without getting it in SP too!!

Needless to say I wiped away my salty tears and carried on playing online instead. Some challenges are just too great for me and I had to accept defeat

"The game is designed for world-class eSports play at every level.”

What does that even mean? World class and entry level in the same sentence

I'll probably buy it because I'm a Quake and id fan. If it resembles a better looking Quakeworld and is identifiable as Quake multiplayer then I'm in. Classes in a Quake game is nothing new. Anyone remember the Weapons Factory Arena mod?

It says every level... Tit

.......... :eek:

So it does.

Well I suppose if your gonna make a tit of yourself you might as well do it properly

It still doesn't really make sense: if you're a beginner but you can experience "world-class eSports play" does it just mean the game is really easy?

I'm a bit disappointed at the knee-jerk "class based play" reaction. I can understand that they want to promote teamplay as part of their eSports push but in my experience for the average player it just ends up in you feeling extremely limited in what you can do.

Also what's the deal with that random blue-haired woman? She looks like she was taken from a completely different game and just shoved in there. Doesn't fit in at all.

I'll be watching this one cautiously.

Something along the lines of Q1 singleplayer (well thought out maps with tricks, traps and puzzles) with the best bits of Q1/Q3 MP for the multiplayer side (rocket arena/clan arena, ctf, tourney, DM, TDM and OSP built in) with q1 physics and a good balance in weapons would have done nicely.

Maybe we'll be surprised. Maybe not

Thanks for the info. I only just recently took my server down. It was 1.32 running the Threeewave Capturestrike mod.

I used to play 1.16n on Gifford UK servers. Those were the days!

Will have to get 1.16 on and will try those servers. What modes are they running? I always played FFA or CTF on 1.16, although I tended to prefer OSP for CTF.

I'm glad to hear some people are still playing Q3. Without a doubt it is my favourite game ever.

ShiWarrior · 14 Jun 2016 at 21:22

ill have to reinstall Q3, not played that in a very very long time, I was only playing Quake Live
