It's a tech demo.

UT was better.

Is there a campaign mod or something?

I played Q3A in SP more than I did in DM.

On one hand, my friends sucked, and they were rather into UT anyway.

On the other hand, it was railgun shitfest online and playing majoritarely only in 2 maps.

In SP I forged my way up, map by map, skill my skill, until I beat every map in Nightmare difficulty. Most fun I had of the game until Quake Live came out and it became easier to find people of a similar skill level.

I spent more time fighting Reaper bots in Quake 1 than I did playing the single player campaign. By the time Quake 3 was released I had an internet connection so I had no reason to play single player.

>>3047990
I like Q3A for the speed and simple yet fun maps. I like UT for the cooler weapons, varied maps, third party content (mods, maps, skins) and the fact you can still find a decent multiplayer game today.

Also character design in UT was way better. Oh and UnrealEd was the tits.

>>3048190
I think Q3 did DM better because they really dedicated the game to it. However for everything else UT trumps, and I personally dislike that rollerskate bouncy bunnyhopping movement in Quake games.

Quake 3 is and always was a multiplayer game. It's designed like that.

>>3047990
I think they're about as good. UT has more appealing design aesthetics and is a lot more fun in a casual environment with the large selection of unique guns and game modes, but Q3 is better balanced, has the best movement system of any fps and it's best maps are way better than UT's gameplay-wise.

THE ONLY QUAKE worth a flying fart was quake 1 the rest are doo doo

>>3048002
yeah im still surprised no one even attempted to make a campaign

Was Unreal Tounament '03 the first UT to have a sport manager type career mode? I wish that entire concept was brought to Quake 3.

there is a campaign. i beat it

Did Q3 or UT even have a story for the single player, like even a 1 page synopsis in the manuals?

UT has an explanation that covers the single player campaign - it plays every time you start the game.

Then you pick a team and win the tournament.

Hunter is the best character in Quake 3 and is worth going through Q3's medicore character design. Really sexy outfit and a cool helmet. Decent amount of porn of her too.

>>3049258
the logical conclusion to quake 2's gameplay. no story, no progression. Its perfect.

No, Quake III is literally a tech demo. Id Software weren't stupid. They knew releasing an FPS game without a campaign was releasing an incomplete product. FPS MP has always been a tacked on side feature, and it always will be.

>>3049815

Nigga where you playing Quake 1 and 2 during the 90s? MP was the main draw back then, not SP. Back then, it made sense that iD would say "fuck it" and make an MP-only game because MP was by far the biggest draw back then.

>>3047945
Except there was a single player campaign. A rather simplistic one, being that it was simply a series of botmatches with almost no story, but it's still fun enough that I've played through it a few times. I don't even bother with MP anymore because none of my friends play it, and it's impossible to find good servers.

>>3048190

That's not a "real" campaign. Id Software considered Quake III a tech demo for a reason, anon. You may as well argue Turok: Rage Wars had a "campaign".

>>3051307
Hey! It's a tech demo. Sure. Whatever you say. It's also maybe one of the greatest games ever made (the greatest, in my opinion).

It's limited in scope. You know what else is limited in scope? Chess.

>>3051582
>It's limited in scope. You know what else is limited in scope? Chess.
Chess wasn't made by people who wished they were creating a story-driven campaign.

>>3052081
Who cares what their intent was? Intent doesn't affect the final product after it's finished. Every single one of id's releases is at least partially a result of them trying to achieve unrealistic goals.

>>3048150
Every time a bot got a frag on me in SP, I would later start a handicapped TDM and watch my army of Klesk shred them to pieces.

>>3052156

That's not nice.

/vr/ is way too casual for Quake 3 and it gets butthurt about it.

The only thing /vr/ can handle is two imps chucking fireballs a mile away. Each time they successfully dodge a projectile they feel incredible.

Also any appearance of a hitscanner and they instantly start crying while menstruating.

/vr/ a shit.

>>3050606
UT2004 has the Liandribot waifus. I can't turn down that shiny metal ass.

B-but I love Quake 3, anon. When it first came out it bugged me that it was multiplayer only, but going into highschool and having lan parties swayed me towards it.

I've always found UT2004 bots to be forgettable, i know almost all of UT99's roster by heart though.

Still, Q3 bots have more personality and even those using the same models have different enough textures to keep them unique from each other, while you could easily mistake UT bots without looking at their names.

>>3052669
I will NEVER understand why people prefer the simple 2D pickups instead of the 3d ones

>>3052784

Actually in vanilla Quake 3 I would've agree'd with you. Having the animation there makes it easier to know when you can fire after switching weapons. However in Q1 or Q3 CPM there's almost no penalty/delay for switching weapons and thus you might as well remove that distraction all together.

Most people play with a solid white enemy skin in Q1 actually. Replacing all your walls with a solid white (can be done with high values of picmip iirc) doesn't really help you much tho, it just messes up your depth perception.

>>3053581

When Loque is on the enemy team I still try to play through the match. Granted, that usually means getting stomped in TDM and a stalemate in CTF (especially if he's defending). He's pretty manageable in Domination, though.

>>3054625
>NO DISTRACTIONS, NO FRILLS, JUST PURE SKILL

So, who feels like actually playing some Quake 3? Any servers that people prefer. I personally like Vanilla 3 the best.

What is Unreal Tournament? It's what the fanbase at that time wanted.

Is it worth getting good at Quake III nowadays?
I've considered jumping into it, but I wonder if it's worth playing a multiplayer after its prime.

>>3055373
I still play against bots on hardcore mode, still fun, after all those years

>>3055451
also, Doom is on it's way. To me the it looked a lot like q3a so you might as well prepare for the next best fps

>>3055302

An MP Unreal spinoff to tide people over until Unreal 2?

>>3049330

God... How can people play like that?

>>3055791
Its a thing that some pros do, I never felt a real advantage, played all my competitions with default FOV and even won a tournament once, also no invisible weapon.

>>3055791
Your vision adjusts pretty quickly. It doesn't even look abnormal once your used to it.

That said, I prefer a FOV of ~105 or so at 16:9. The "proper" FOV depends on the angle between your eyes and the left and right edge of the screen, which is why console games meant to be played frome a couch have so low FOV.

It's max (130) and I actually forgot to put it down to 120 when recording that. Back in the days when CRT's were still a thing I played with 110-120 with 800x600.

130 only really works well if you play widescreen.

Where do I find decent servers to play on?

I tried and failed, everything is either dead or... weird. One or two games where I get my ass handed to me in complete helplessness, but those are the only ones and they are hard to find.

Do people with average, above-average skill level still play or is it die-hard veterans at this point only?

I would at least welcome any way to filter out the bot-filled servers. It gets me furious that it can't be done automatically by default.

I would recommend you either go play Quakelive (probably best bet) or download CPMA from playpromode dot org. There's a few channels on quakenet dedicated to the latter where you could probably find people to play with.

I played a lot of QL, but then they pulled all that shit with default starting weapons, dumbed down movement, changing the announcers voice to some faggy wimp (WHY) and moving to steam (10 bux plz).
