Quake3World

Hey all; I am new at this game (played single a few time's couple of years ago) and now I'm going online with it.
So I choose "capture the flag" because then there are a few men who don't shoot me at once .

You understand; I stink!

I have not been thrown out of a game (yet).

I would like some tips of how to play (the flag I like most) and what to do and don't. I really know almost nothing!!
Last evening; I HAD the flag of the enemy (my personal best :icon31: ) and I ran to homebase........I came there and didn't know what to do with the thing!! :icon23:
I asked and got killed!
Mostly I just run around and shoot some enemy's........sometimes when I get close I try to take their flag..........when I see a mate of mine running with the enemy flag; I try to give him cover.

Is there a server just for nOOb's like me?

Then; the gamespy stuff don't wokrs on my pc and I am using the game itself........it don't give to much choises......

Has anyone got tips or a "manual to play online for me"?

have u looked here? http://www.quake3world.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=215

might tell u somethin useful. im sure u could do a search for other stuff

edit: did u use a translator or r u just not gd at english?

o and to get a point in capture the flag you have to capture the enemy flag (like u did) then run to your base and run through your flag with it. then it should say your team scores.
Don't worry, u will pick a lot of things up by playin more.
Don't give up and happy fraggin!

Thanx for your time and answer!
I'm going to have a look there.

But I REALLY thought my Englisch isn't that bad.........I did not use a translator.
Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong; the words or making sentences or something else? Maybe quote a few thing I did wrong? I would really like to know.
Thanx in advance!

Small mistakes mostly. You're still understandable compared to some people. Just read a bit more on the net and you'll probably pick it up along the way.

lol np. Your english isnt to bad. i mean its easy to understand what u mean but certain prases and things dont sound like what an english person would say. I suppose its like me talking your main language (by the way what is it?).
like in your post you said:
'i came there and didn't know what to do'
it should be:
when i got there i didnt know what to do.

you got the wrong tense but the right verb.

dont worry mate. english is one of the hardest languages to learn in the world!

Where you from dude, I wouldn't mind setting up a server and giving you the basics some time tonight.

hey i might come along to
im quite new to the online gamin thing myself

If it's not to long maybe even I who hasn't quaked in weeks may come. <incorrect but ment that way

sure thing, I'm no pro.....by any standard, but I wouldn't mind passing down the little that I do know.

Not sure where you two are from, but I'm down in Northern Texas. I'm sure we could find a good server in the middle some where...but you two hit me up on MSN or AIM or something tonight sometime.

You decide, i play like shit no matter the ping. I'm constant like that.

i know a gd place. q3dm17 all rail.
82.136.39.189:27960

edit: and now u to survivor

Okay; with the sample

'i came there and didn't know what to do'
it should be:
when i got there i didnt know what to do.

I understand and NOW I know what I did wrong......it's like "Ooooohhh yeeeessss" but to late now........

Where I am from? The Netherlands. Close to Amsterdam :icon31: very nice place to be, really. Smoke a joint in a restaurant and nobody cares .

What time this evening is it going to happen? It's now 9 pm here.

scratch this.

supply your MSNs, I don't have anything to do tonight so I'll show you the ropes if I don't feel sleepy enough, hehe.

I have two daughters and if the oldest wakes up; I HAVE to go to her; she doesn't allow mammy then.......so IF I am suddenly gone on msn OR the game; excuse me then.

My msn is: famopla@hotmail.com
