Quake3World

Who were the top players of Quake 3 that frequented the Q3W forums back in the day? I specifically remember Julios and Duhard giving me a beating on a regular basis.

Just a little nostalgia for ya. I’m getting old. They say old people like what they can remember...

Geoff was handy.

Wasn't Inolen quite good too?

Agreed. But I just assumed we would all keep quiet about that, as to not boost his already massive ego...

He was.

He also programmed some incredibly accurate aim bots. But his skills without them were legit...

raw was not bad.

Lol at raw being anything other than average.

Donny was a good player too. I was ok at instagib for a HPB.

Azer was one of the best here
Brisk was a great player
Julios was mega
Geoff was handy

Brisk was a massive big head. Saturn was OK as well. Most of the BDI were good. RnR wins tho.

Azer's rail was amazing, as was geoffs lightning.

Does anyone have any videos or anything of the originals playing together?

Don Carlos was collecting q3 videos here. There's some q3w stuff there as well.

This.

I smoked his ass on dm17

Lol sys0p trick jumping... Jon Godwin was such a fag...

As long as we're on a nostalgia run...

Maybe not everyone's scene, but I do enjoy the old "p0wned" videos made on Euroctf servers (OSPctf, mostly pickup matches or the good old XS4ALL public servers hosted in NL).
Nice editing, decent music choice and some quality skills on show.
I'm not sure if any Q3Wers outside of bdi buds played there, but the games were epic - proper high standard of players, the best CTF maps in Q3 and an amazing ctf pickup community on IRC while it lasted!

players from gzd, oMg, 2eX, DX!, ft, uc, lsr, CAT, BDI, IQS, various free agents/aliasing bastards

doomer was really good

good movement good shooting cool sportsmanship and it was obvious that his skills where legit skills .

som was pretty good too, obvious real skills

a trip down nostalgia alley, to the days before 'ownage' was ousted by 'rekt'

Khalsa were the best

As much of a fuckhead as dutard was, he was pretty killer at vanilla 1-on-1. I played him once or twice and got perhaps all of 1 or 2 frags across both games Granted I played mostly CTF or FFA. 1-on-1 is a different ball game.

I remember Azer, julios, and inolen being among the best. Azer especially because I seem to recall he was a pretty HPB but still doled it out. Doomer was pretty good as well. I remember banging around in CA with Donny and Memph quite a bit. Been a long while!

Duhard knew how to control the map, he was a master at it.

Oh yeah. Half the time I respawned, he had already launched 4 or 5 rockets at the closest prospective spawn points and I was met at respawn with an instant rocket to the face.

No doubt Duhard was good. Top 5 of Q3W for sure...maybe top 3...
