arQon interview on gotfrag..

Post by Duhard »

Thanks for your time arQon, you're a big part of the past, present and future development of competitive Quake 4. Any last words, anything you would like to say?

"Thanks. I'd definitely encourage everyone to stick with Q4 while it goes through this early rough stage. It's going to be an incredible game in a couple of months with a very bright future, and you really don't want to miss it. :) "

Great interview..nice to see somebody stepping up for the q4 community :icon14:

My question is, should id hire arQon so that we can play a competition mod right out of the box in q5?

hmmmmmmmm

Yes.

arQon + Threewave guys + ra guys.

Comp Mode + Promode.
CTF
RA

Something for casual as well as hardcore players, not something focused on trying to appeal to casual weekend pub players exclusivly.

In my dreams. :icon32:

q4 really isn't as bad as people have been saying. the unplayable-ness is hopefully fixable, either in an official pr or in what comes out of the q4max team camp. i get ultra pissed at it and haven't played it in a couple weeks but i'm just waiting for a patch. it looks like there is potential there.

q4 is no doubt dead...but i don't know wtf ppl r talking about it being unplayable...seems fine to me as long as i don't jump on some no0b server with a bunch of no0bs...

for starters, mouse polling rate over 125hz = graphical stutter ( cpl blah blah only 125 who cares, i play at 500hz), those with sb live cards getting hideous sound stutter, though i think it's a combo of soundcard and shitty netcode. netcode....sucks, unstable pings, just like q3 in the beginning. no autodl, weaponswitch bug (not sg, 1/6 weaponswitches wont register though that could be just q4max issue).

i won't play it until it's patched.

I only really played Q3, but all Q4 adds is crouch sliding, HB/NG...thats about it?

I love the new weapons, I think they add new balance to the gameplay..and the fact that mp kinda feels like q2 is a good thing too :icon14:

ramp jumping, new weapon balance, you can throw grenades at jump pads and they bounce, rockets/nades can be fired through portals, some weapon switchings are insanely fast..noobs are more noobish and so on..
