Quake3World

Awesome game. I was pretty much a n00b back in the Q2 days but it brings back lots of memories, and now I'm a bit suprised how fast the game actually is.

cool.

=o

Julz have you watched this yet?

anyone know what skin/sound pak that is?

The guy that made the video shared the paks upon request, so if anyone wants to try Q2 with the 'pro' settings like in the video:

Nope - but i watched his dm1 demo - very nice stuff - gives me much nostalgia

Good video

I dunno - thought it sucked. Perhaps it was my slow vid card, but the sound was a good 7-10 seconds out of sync with the video, so I got to hear what was happening before it showed up.

The framerate was horrible, and there was weird warping everytime the player went back across rotating bridge from mega.

The special effects tended to distract - perhaps coz i've never seen them before.

Commentating was ridiculously overblown - there's no need to fill each moment with talk - some nice pauses to appreciate the action and strategy for ourselves woulda been nice.

heh you want a fast demo watch me vs. remer back in '99

my pov: http://q2scene.net/ds/index.php?op=dd1& ... 9fa9095448

remer's: http://q2scene.net/ds/index.php?op=dd1& ... 9fa9095448

regardless of the one comment in second link, I am duality and remer is trinity.

(shameless excuse to plug my demo )

That was amazing

Julz I will give your demo a spin. You are probably correct in saying something is not up to snuff with your pc, that movie should play without any pauses and the sound is perfectly synced. Some people at esreality have commented how the video wasn't that impressive simply becase purry dominates the entire thing, you are essentially watching a one man show. While it would be nice if the skill levels where closely related I thought the dominance and map control was amazing. I think it was fast too, Q2 sort of reminds me of cpma now I dunno why, it dosen't quite have the air control.

Hey Don, do ya have the Thresh vs. Billbox demo anywhere? I remember that one wowed me quite a bit. I don't quite remember the end scores but didn't Thresh win like 60 - -2? Or am I exaggerating?

Heya Dude

I dont have it anymore no, but it was messy
I belive there is a recam version out somewhere?

End score was like 52 - (-2)

there ya go, boys...feel the love :icon14:

Julz, first I want to say I have nothing but

However... man, are you sure you posted the right demo? Where you kidding around? Drunk? I didn't know what to think. First you where preoccupied with jumping around, and throwing nades. You made some good double-jumps and circle jumps, but other than that, no other strafe techniques. I suppose D was good, you managed to keep away. But offense? Why didn't you chase him for the kill? Too many shots spammed on walls. Why didn't either one of you use the rail?!?!?

Sorry man, I wasn't impressed tbh... hope ya don't get too upset. :icon32:

Thanks sugar... btw is there a demo of this that's not recammed? I'd like to look at the ferrari winner's aim directly if possible... :icon14:

Oh well, the page says 'friendly' I guess that means you fellas where taking it easy... do ya have a demo where you're a man on a mission though?

I used to use nades a lot in quake2 - quite deadly if used smartly. Strafe techniques hadn't been refined in that day - i didn't learn to strafe jump properly until quake3. You gotta remember, this was 6 years back or so.

chase for kill? wtf did you not catch the last minute? - watch his POV to see how close it was. The best part was the time i got him down to about four health with chain while accelerating toward rail area from mega. There was another time i chased him the opposite direction and ONE bullet would have tied the game but magically none of them hit!

remer and I had been playing for many months back and forth - i prefered thinking of our games a dances rather than fights

I'll see if i can dig up a demo of me that's something more up your alley.

Well it just seemed like a lighthearted game, seeing as your opponent and you on many occasions stepped away after a small firefight (not finishing the kill). Nothing wrong with that. And your movement was prolly a ton better in Q2 than mine back in those days.

Does anyone know if this is hosted anywhere else (link expired)? Does Gandalf4i have a website? I can't find anything except his username in dozens of swedish forums...

Luckily i have the package but i don't have enough space to host it for someone else.
