Tanks and Rogues

Quake III Arena mod |

Tanks and Rogues is a serverside modification for Quake III Arena with heavy focus on teamplay. The core idea of Tanks and Rogues is that everything is a team effort. To kill an enemy tank, first your rogue has to disable the enemy's shield, then before it regenerate, your tank must hit the enemy tank with conventional weapons to actually kill him. This creates a new kind of teamplay, a tight teamplay seldom seen in FPS games, a teamplay that requires you to focus as much on your teammates as on your enemies. For extra spice, Tanks and Rogues includes cool features as the Power Taunt and the Team Grenade. The former is an awesome explosion activated by capturing a Power Taunt item and then using the Quake III Arena 'gesture'-feature simultaneously with and in proximity to your teammates. The Team Grenade is a very powerful grenade that will only detonate if hit by a rogue's weapon. It is perfect for clearing out a room of campers but again requires delicate teamplay.

One week after the first release, here's the second one. It makes it easier to Power Taunt and fixes a bunch of small bugs.

Yep, one week after the first release we already present you with the second release. 1.1.1.6

This is a minor release and it mainly brings a new help mechanism to the game. Without voice communication, it can be really hard to pull off a Power Taunt with your team mate. That is why we added a text "POWERTAUNT NOW!" which shows up when if you would do a gesture a real Power Taunt would be set off.

When you see the text flash up, hit the gesture button immediately and if your reflexes are good you'll start a Power Taunt crushing your enemies. ( Possibly seeing them driven before you or hearing the lamentations of their women. )

There's no hassle upgrading from 1.0.0.0 to the new version, just extract the files on top of the old ones and you'll be set for running the latest release of Tanks and Rogues.

As usual, if you just want to play the game, you don't need to download anything at all. Just use a server filter like this one and join with your regular Q3 client.

For all you server admins though...

It seems the news got accepted before the files got accepted. Be patient with the good guys that run Moddb and I'm sure you'll be able to download soon enough.
