Quake3World

Like someone said in another forum, "It's what Quake 4 should play like."

Anyone played this game? It's really great.

the real question you should be asking is: when the fuck is STALKER going to be released?

stalker
fun stuff, taketwo is willing to spend half a million extra to get DNF to be released this year
3d realms will also get 4 million when the game is finally done, regardless of delays. brutal

This game has everything Q4 is lacking:

Liquids, swimming animations, bots, female models.

It even has url redirect and an anti-cheat program.

Be sure to check out the 'dash' bind in your controller setup. You can use that and jump and do a sorta Matrix style wall climbing. Very cool.

I setup a test server:

IP: 207.210.237.172:4000

If you want to add or remove bots, do a:

callvote numbots #

Type callvote for a list of options. Enjoy.

Here's a good overview of the game:

Am I the only person who thinks this is the best game since Quake 1?

It's way too chaotic, and the skins are godawful. Maybe a future version will impress me more.

In what way is it too chaotic?

Ah what the hell. I as mine as well download and try. I havn't played an FPS since like 3 months now.

I wanted to like it, I really tried to like it, I gave it a chance, but it was just too dull and boring.

Usually, I don't care about graphics, but in this case I did. That was horrible, even for cell-shading.

The makers of this tried too hard to mimic Quake, failing in the end because they wanted it exactly like it. I'm sorry, but this game just isn't for me.

didn't we play this like a year ago?

It's been greatly enhanced. Also, it's gaining a lot of popularity with the pro-gaming scene.

the cel-shaded style gets a bit much after a while, but it's a fun game. hope they get some more player models soon.

for those of you still running around with the older versions, this update is well worth picking up.

Well, I don't like baseq3 all that much, and warsow is even worse than that. It's just too fast-paced. Larger maps and more contrast in the textures might help, but not enough.

New patch for the game:

Game servers are updated:

EscapedTurkey.com Dallas (207.210.238.178:44400)
EscapedTurkey.com New York (70.42.41.215:44400)
EcapedTurkey.com San Francisco (66.150.247.39:44400)

If anyone wants to try the game out. :icon31:

Here's some tips for starters:

Graphics Tweaks:

If you turn off simple items, and turn off colored outlines, the images will become sharper. That's just my observation. Apparently colored outlines is good if you use simple items, but for regular settings it may make things look blurry.

Gameplay:

When you pick up a weapon it has weak ammo .. when you pick up ammo packs you get strong ammo. There is a difference between the HP (hit points) something like 85/100.

The GunBlade is also a melee weapon, when you touch someone it acts like the gauntlet in Quake.

Foo mentioned this about 8 months ago.

I think I remember playing around with this or something like it a while back.

What I wonder is why people release public versions with a number less than 1. Not only does version .12 not sound very stable it should really be 1.12 since its the 12th iteration of the first release. If its beta just stick a damn b on the end...

I played it a little bit, but I didn't feel like tricking it out to the full extent. The stock bright skins and overall colors are uber gay. You can use q3 skins and all that, but I didn't feel like setting it up. Someone should release a pack that has everything setup nicely and with a nice cfg.

BTW I think people can cheat pretty easily in that game, because of no pure server, you can make skins with spikes sticking out of them etc. kinda makes you not want to play.

And the weak/strong ammo is the gayest thing ever.

Agreed, that can either make or break the game. There is a mod that removes the weak ammo but it seems the main community for Warsow is very against it. Not sure why they are so paranoid about mods that tweak gameplay.

Great game! I'm not sure if I like the strong/weak ammo, but I'll definitely keep playing this. Thanks for the tip!

Try this mod if you don't like weak/strong ammo:

It's created by part of the Warsow dev team, from what I read.
