apparently they ditched the whole player models thing in favor of a lazy forum portal. :\ I think it's time for someone (me?) to create a spiritual successor thats q3/q4 focused

Polycount (the site not forums) went right down hill as soon as id software made it retardedly hard to use custom models in games... Quake 3 sucked ass for it, and Quake 4 is even harder...

it had a few ut2k4 and hl models tossed in, but the queue got too big because the "reviewers" didn't have those games. The queue had models all the way back to 2002, even

They made it harder to stop cheaters, pretty much. But it killed off the custom skin feeling that Quake 2 had didn't it?

Brightskins are one thing, spiked models are another

The Q4 models sure are boring... One of the things I really liked about Q3A vs. UT at the time were the totally superior and far more diverse player models. In that respect Q4 remindes me of the "bad old" UT days. Models like Klesk or Crash would be neet in Q4.

Crash with updated Doom 3 style armor? Yes please.
