Quake3World

I been thinkin about getting it just for the hell of it. is it coo? does it compare to the pc one at all or is it totally different? wussup with it?

damn. hmmmm, ok. i touch that.

joypads teh LOOSE

remember when microsoft tried to push this gamepad that had some 2d angle in the middle as an alternate fps controlling device? :icon19:

You can plug a normal USB Keyboard and mouse into the PS2. Half Life and UT Support it, dunno about Q3, but probably.

not for 4 players though surely?

4 player livingroom quake is the only reason I'd consider buying a ps2

is the online cool on the ps2? does anyone know?

or unreal, is the unreal online ps2 dope???

The online on a PS2 is pure shite.

Get Q3 just for the SP, it beats the shit out of Quake 3 PC any day.

PS2 supports hubs.

Well, games can.. again, it's gotta be part of the game.

I was gutted when it turned out my wheel couldn't be used with San Andreas... Just because they didn't build in any form of USB support for it.

here - i found an immage of the gamepad i was talking of before.

'bentpad'

My brother got the game for the PS2. I found it cool...for about 5 mins.

Gotta love the "EA" logo on the front of the Q3 box

Did ID sell the rights for the game to EA?

Yeah you use a joypad but it's still fun to play through the singleplayer campaign once or twice. And yes, it's much more like an actual campaign in the ps2 Quake 3 than it was on the pc, because the porters were smart and knew most people would only be able to play it by themselves.

Basically when you start the campaign you can chose from about 5 different player models. Each have their own advantages and disadvantages. You move from fight to fight, and tier to tier, though you have no choice in which fight you do first in a tier. Every time you move on to a higher tier, you get a cooler looking skin as well as increased stats. The final tier is the boss of the arena. The boss fight in ps2 quake3 is alot more fun than the one on the pc

Not really. I love the Activision one

As do I. Its just some kind of twisted horrid box, where you have Quake and then "EA" under it...

*shudders*

How is it better to use one model as opposed to another? Do you get to upgrade 'hitpoints' or summat?

The different players you can choose from have different stats like speed, damage, health, etc. Overall it doesn't really affect gameplay too much, but it lets you chose a player that's better suited to your style.

Heh just something I came across... I've noticed you like the older id games more, yet I haven't seen you play Generations Arena on the weekends or any time... thought it would be right up your alley.

I mostly play as the strogger, and manage to do a pretty good job of owning the others, esp. with the super-shottie/rail combo.

There is a little extra something eep never mentioned. "YOU" upgrade your guy, not the computer. So yo uget stat points, and YOU choose where they go. Armor, speed, ammo etc etc etc...

Its a lot better than the VQ3 game id shipped.

I like playing fps games with a gamepad. I'm not in any way saying a gamepad is better than a mouse and keyboard but they aren't that bad either and if the game is good it makes for a fun game session as opposed to being seated at your pc which I find uncomfortable.

I should note though that the only controler I find fun playing fps games is the Xbox controller the ps2 controller is complete crap imho.

I agree. I only ever used the PS2/1 controller for Quake 2, and that involved using l1/r1 to look up/down, lol.

X-box pad, im fine with. Love it.

The new controller maybe. The original xbox pad is a fucking monstrosity.

Are you talking to me? If so, well, If I wanted to play a quake2 styled game, I would just play quake2 (which I do)

I might try out Generations someday though, but I don't know. I'm skeptical.
