I have been playing the game called Quake 4

Post by DRuM »

For about 20 minutes in MP only. Haven't tried the SP. I checked out a couple of maps, one of which is the longest day ( aka DM17). Not much to say as yet except, I can't aim at shit!:olo: Getting ownz0red already mostly because I'm finding it hard to see them plus lots of distracting detail all over the place. Got a lucky rail though.
The strafejumping : is pretty good, but, well, I personally think it's not quite as fast as Q3's. Anyone else think so?

I found out the allow console command, haven't tried it yet. Will I be able to chat from the console as in Q3? Because at the moment I assigned a key for that.

Not as fast as Q3? Hop online and see how "slow" this game is :olo:

(In other words, fasten your seatbelt, it makes Q3 look like a crawl)

Well, the way I see it, running movement feels about the same, but strafing feels like you can gain a bit more speed quicker. However maybe everything overall feels heavier because a lot of us are used to 125 FPS in Quake 3, making Quake 4 feel laggy, and heavy at 60 FPS (or in my case, 30 - 60 FPS).

Also, the jumps have changed, and it seems you get more height than in Q3. Until I have a constant 60 FPS, I can't really make major comparisons.

ggz. sorry about your disconnection problem zyte, that sucks man.

Well, I was good wasn't I. :tear:

At the moment, this game is impossible for me. You guys seem to adapt easily to everything but for me, I'm a fuss pot that can't play against those enemy skins. They move too fast and remind me of sarge type movement which is why keel/tank jnr were better as they 'seemed slower' to me. Also I simply find it hard to see where the enemy is at the moment, and well, 90 ping doesn't help either.
My framerate of 23/24fps makes things a bit harder too. It's gonna take ages to get used to this.

Moan, moan, moan :icon25:
