Quake3World

Hi,
I am wondering how much damage does the shotgun do?
I allways thought it was 100 if u had no armour, but now I got second thoughts.
I was playing on my regular ctf server and I was gun down by an enemy with a shotgun. I demoed it and watched it over and over in different angles all in slow motion, but I die after 1 shot from this guys shotgun and I have 110 health and no armour at close range. I never believed u could die by one shot from any weapon as long u got 101 health. And believe me I wasn't hit by anyone other than him, pluss he wasn't using quad. I can't figure this out, either the server are running with more damage from some weapons (atleast the SG), or this guy is using some sort of hax. I am gonna post a message on this servers forum site, see if they really do have some special settings for weapon damage.
I have had quite a few similar episodes on this server over the past year, but this is the first time I got it documented.
If anyone cares I could post the demo.

Any feedback appreciated.
Thanks.

If you hit someone in the head I think it does more damage :icon31:

I really hope that was a joke, Anthony.

Wrong. RG does 100 HP damage in VQ3, independent of location.

hey thanx to let me know that RG takes 100 hp.

As soon as you learn to post sensible replies?

It could have happened when he was very near you and aiming at your skull.It has happened to me and I have done it myself.

Really?
What's VQ3 ?

[joke] Then Q3 will be like CS?[/joke]

Vanilla Quake 3, the gameplay you have when you don't load any mods.

VQ3 is otherwise known as baseq3. The unmodified/original Q3.

ah!
But if you hit in the head, you do 100dmg?
Never happend to me...
You got a modified VQ3 ?

For some models the head is actually outside the hit box. Try to rail Keel's head for instance, you'll shoot through without doing damage.

And my question is now : Which model has the head in the hit box ? only orbb ?

Anything shorter then keel.
