I have been playing the game called Quake 4

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.

Gimme an ip sir. Can I type it in the console as well as in the join ip box in the MP section? Do I need to type \connect ... in the console or just the number?

ggz. drum are you still there. For some reason every 30 minutes my q4 just freezes and my only option seems to be rebooting :/

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:
