ius it as revolutionary as quake 1?
i don't have it believe me or not
got some cash on my hands so i wanted to know if its a good buy?
The most important thing is: How many mods are out there in dev and when do you think quake 3 will start to fade!?
i want to buy it,so i gotta know if its worth my money the mods and my time!?

I recommend Quake 3 whole-heartedly. Comparisons to UT are a little futile now, but if you really must compare the two ... Go for Quake3 if you want faster paced, frentic gameplay, and Unreal Tournament for a slightly more tactical approach. Quake 3 also has a huge, huge modding community surrounding it ... and no one can doubt the impact the engine has had on the games industry (and the countless times the technology has been licensed). You could probably pick it up very cheap nowadays, so what are you waiting for? :-p

Yep. There is also a Quake 3 Gold package out there (that bundles Quake 3, with it's expansion: Team Arena).

Well I'd like to set up a game with you guys, if any of you ever get the chance? However I am on a 56k, so, well, I'm not all that good.

Why wont it save me?

Jul 29 2003 Anchor

Yeah, 56k sucks, I would have broadband, but BT wont let me have it cos I live in an area of "No demand"
Thats BS, they are just too cheapass to give it to me.

Anyway, Quake 3 is a great game, I pwn against the bots, can beat nightmare without getting fragged! :D

Definately worth buying. I got mine for a tenner :D

Well if you're able to connect to a relatively fast server (with a moderate number of players) than it's still playable. You just have to be a bit more crafty, due to your limited options.

I'm inspired to re-install and patch up Quake3. I've had alot of fun with it over the last few years :-)

why did you uninstall it anyway?

I never uninstall anything, unless its something really crap.

I uninstalled it, because I have a 30Gb HDD, which I also use for video editing. Space is pretty limited, unfortunately so I uninstall what I'm not using. I'll probably get another drive in the near future, and configure a master/slave relationship between them.

It's a matter of taste, the gameplay styles ARE quite different. UT is to me, little more than a coaster, to others the equivalent of a gold disc ;-)

CheapAlert wrote: Does UT have platformers, action, superhero and gargoyle mods?


Indeed, not that UT doesn't have a mod scene, just there is unprecedented attention surround iD releases. Personally, one of my all time favourite mod's is Rocket Arena. I used to play it non-stop :-)

Jul 31 2003 Anchor

Fair enough....

Ive got a 40gb drive. Ive filled 3/4 of it already, with games I never play, and files im never going to use.

I really should start to clear it up now before I run out of space, but for some reason it doesnt slow my PC down like it did on all my previous PCs.

Quake 3 is an awesome game and totally worth buying.
Ive got it on PC and PS2.
Although Ive never played UT so I dont know whether thats better or not :D

5th January 2011....... maybe

When Quake 4 comes out people will turn to that :D

Aug 2 2003 Anchor

People will still be modding on the Quake 3 engine even after Doom 3/Quake 4 has been released. Just look at the iD back catalogue for proof of that ;-)

Anyways ... what Quake 3 mods are you guys playing? Anyone still playing Team Arena ... or is it vanilla Quake all the way?
