Nah Quake 3 sucks, Get Quake 2 installed and play "the Edge"

R3DBuLL · 9 Dec 2006 at 13:14

Some of the servers I play in:

193.201.200.178:27961
62.141.42.36:27980 <--- This one always has lots of players in it, and the standard is lower if you haven't played in a while

66.55.158.97:27960

Unfortunately most of our good servers are private :rolleyes:

I didn't see a huge difference in gameplay between 3 and 4 (multiplyer that is), but the gfx difference is immense. Maybe it's just time to hit up Quake 4 and enjoy the pretty gfx?

or....maybe its time to note that quake 3 has far superior gameplay than quak 4. Most people who play quake 4 (competitively at least) online have their cfgs set such a way that the graphics are dummed down a lot. Quake 3 also is also much betetr for spectating games, in the form of OSP and GTV. Q3 ***!

Are there much people still playing Q3 on the internet?

Well i stopped playing about 6 months ago, as the public servers gradually started to become less and less populated. From what i saw then it has all but died - onlien leagues stopping etc. I do still play the odd 1v1 online if im bored. However, if you have a look on esreality.com you'll notice q3 has had a bit of a popularity boost as of late, with loads of new demos to top players (inc the infamous cmz !!!!!!) and a online tournys.

Quake 3 back in the day when i used to play was an excellent game. I loved the speed and i loved the game play and it was the most played game on my pc at one point.

/me wonders off to find Q2!

iBot · 9 Dec 2006 at 20:06

right ive installed q3 + 1.32 patch, what now? What commands should i run? Ive joined a few servers but some say incorrect protocol's version

ive also updated punkbuster

R3DBuLL · 10 Dec 2006 at 00:55

Protocol is to do with the point release you are trying to play. If you want to play the 3 main versions follow the link for instructions on how to do so.

Enjoy. Should sort out your problem.

Edit: it's the first guide in the link that you should read.

Does anyone know how to adjust the FOV :confused:

, i'm trying to get this working with my Triplehead2go

porkrind · 10 Dec 2006 at 10:37

\cg_fov ***

try 110 for a 16:10 screen

90 = standard

240 for fish eye effect

http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php?title=Quake_III_Arena

go there for widescreen HOWTO

Dark_Injection · 10 Dec 2006 at 10:53

I just love the video editing aspect of Q3, really insane.

Never seen a game with such possibilites when making videos, loved it !

Thanks for the info, i think the triplehead2go is best with 138deg AFAIK, i'll have a little tinker.

FrenchTart · 10 Dec 2006 at 15:51

Rocking..I'd be up for a small ladder too

manveruppd · 10 Dec 2006 at 16:20

Doesn't Punkbuster kick you if you've adjusted the FOV to be above standard?

I still play this too btw, mainly Rocket Arena but if you guys are setting up a game I'm up for anything!

ps3ud0 · 10 Dec 2006 at 16:23

Only kicks you if you use over 125 IIRC...

Actually it doesnt kick you, just limits you to 125 whatever you put in...

ps3ud0 :cool:

GFresh · 10 Dec 2006 at 16:36

Ah, thats a shame, 125 it is then :rolleyes:

ps3ud0 · 10 Dec 2006 at 16:50

Actually guys, I might have it slightly wrong (been an age since Ive played) - just done some checking and this is what Ive found:

PB has a FOV limit of 145
OSP has one of 140
CPMA has one of 130

So it depends on what you are playing but I guess using 130 max would be safer and best to get used to...

Im sure that theres a server side command to limit you if the admin wishes to change from those defaults above too...
