I think the story is that stocktroll knows how to abbreviate. That's about it.

the story of q4 is that you have been teleported from a gay planet. (there are no women left on earth) and you have to go and steal the oil from the strogg home planet. then, and only then make love to the stroggafied chicks to repopulate earth. its messy.. but someones gotta do it :) so really its a planetary rape story!

but on a serious note... ya gotta love the ending.. i mean wtf? way to leave the story open ended. only to not release the follow up... makin the whole story null and void.. woop woop where's my gun?

Yeah you probably know about the expansion that got canned, gee I wonder why huh?

What a fucking waste of 60 Canuck bucks.

They're trapped Jim. Their minds haven't evolved beyond Quake 3. They can't crouch slide. They play DM6 and ztn almost exclusively, and fret and scream if they can't have 125 fps (with no v-synch to prevent texture tearing). It's a sad state, caused by growing up in the golden era that was Quake3.

On the other hand: this IS quake3world. We're in their lair. :icon31:

So, people come here to bitch about a game they MIGHT play if it was more like a game they USED to play? Fascinating... Or maybe just weird. Yep.. Mostly weird. :icon34:

i would play q4 if i could bring myself to upgrade. problem is i dont know if i would like q4 as much as i still enjoy playing a 7 year old game. q4 def has improved with the latest patch. i almost upgraded a month ago but just couldn't pull the trigger.

i think q4 is much more like q3 now in 1.3 then it was ootb. i would like to sync my refresh and framerate to something higher than 60 though, say even just 85. or 75!

Yes but since the engine itself is designed around 60fps raising it wouldn't help any and would probably cause oddities or instability.

How many times have we all been over this? : D

Even people who play Counterstrike have heard about this since we've said it so much. >: ]

major flaw to not have higher framerates in mind when creating the q4 engine then imo. i guess the logic is everyone uses lcd anyway and lower fps means more people can "play" the game with older hardware. just would like to have had the option.

has there been an official response about why the engine revolves around 60fps?

Its not a flaw to have the engine capped when it was designed that way. You're basing your opinion on the fact there was a glitch in the q3 engine which allowed faster movement and longer jumps at 125fps. Faster movement and more movement options (eg. crouch sliding and ramp jumping) are available in Q4 at 60fps. With a decent system, v-sync enabled, and a solid 60fps it looks better and smoother than Q3 ever did IMO.

whoa ok. im not talking about fps dependent physics at all, or movement or any of that jazz. im talking about simply the visual aspect of syncing to higher framerates. i cant stare at a monitor refreshing at 60hz for more than 30 minutes. i run my desktop at 85hz. i dont think it was too much to ask to create an engine that's based on most users visual desktop experience.

edit: which goes back to my assumption on the logic behind 60fps. people using crt's are probably considered to be the minority. q4 is all about buying new product to play it.

Try it with a decent vid card that can stay at 60fps and v-sync enabled for an hour and you'll see what I meant :).

q4base has a fucked r_displayrefresh, granted.
That doesn't mean you can't force proper refresh rates with something like refreshlock, maybe powerstrip. Or even straight from the graphics card driver with a bit of fiddling ;) (works with nvidia, don't know about ati)
/me goes back to messing around in q4 with 120hz

"Map editor for games that use the Quake 3 engine (Doom3 included, see list)"

I didnt know Doom 3 used the Q3 engine...i was also under the impression that Quake 4 used the Doom 3 engine. does that mean Quake 4 uses the Quake 3 engine? or is this site just wrong?
