Rebuild Quake 3 Arena

[Spek]

I am sitting at work and i don't have work to do. So i was thinking, why cant they just rebuild Quake 3 over with a new game engine but with the same old fast paste concept that the old Quake 3 had. i love Quake 3

Q1 (with qw) and Q3 - best games ever!

You could always try ioquake3

Still a classic game

Q3 requires a relatively large amount of time to become good at the game. The thing is that someone who is good at the game cannot be killed by someone who is new or merely average at the game. I was "above average" at Quake, and generally smashed people who were below my skill level to pieces. Unfortunately, the same thing applied to me whenever I went up against anyone who was better than me.

Newer games are designed to give newbies, or in general, players who are not as good, a much greater chance of killing the best players. This keeps the game fun since they are not getting pwned every time they spawn, which keeps them playing. Games like Q3/SC2 are generally only populated by the uber-hardcore players, which leaves little or no room anyone else.

And there's quite a few people who still play QuakeLive, so check that out if you're keen for some Quake.

Arena shooters are dead, if maybe they had evolved their multiplayer systems like every AoS/ArtS has already done they would of stood a chance.

Here's some really good alternatives:

xonotic
Much better gameplay in my opinion, include bunny hopping.

Unreal Tourament 3:
Has some pretty good Quake level remakes.

I think Q2 was head and shoulders above both of them

I never liked Q3 at all although I played a lot of Q1 again when Glquake came out. Q2 still beats them both though.

Im thinking of making a local quake server again for ffa and 1on1 still busy trying to find the qw client.


Quake 1 is still the best im my eyes I use to play it ****less on my 56kbps modem. Compared to all the other shooters nothing can come close to the sheer fast pace of quake. I watched some Quake demo's from the 90's again and it almost seems like gamers got worse skill wise since then ....
