If Q3 Sucks and UT is king then why are MORE people playing Q3 than UT?

Sorry never played any Q3 mods. Just because I didn't like the themes of the maps, was bored by the sub par sound (which is crazy, 'cos graphics are O.K.), didn't like the Q2 weapons, was pissed of by the totally dumb A.I. (in CTF / DM is O.K.).
That does not mean that the game is bad for anyone, but just that I didn't like it.
Maybe I'll check out that mod.
But we talked about favorite FPS and I understood that we discuss the versions that shipped (including Patches up to now), not what other people made of them.
id make cool 3D engines but the should keep their paws off the gameplay.

Btw, !!!please!!! don't be angry if I don't like Q3, no reason to cry - it's just an opinion, okay?

I have to go against the grain on the single person fps with Wheel of Time. The graphics are stunning with the unreal engine, and there is a compelling story behind the game. Also you need to take a bit more cerebral approach to gameplay, which is a welcome change to the fast paced world of the fps.

Multiplayer has to be counter-strike. This game is an addiction. I stopped playing this a year and a half ago when I finished college and left the T-1 but now that I have a cable modem, I have fell off the wagon again.

The Wheel of Time is the best FPS ever made. I dare you Quakers and UT-ers to show your faces in WoT Arena, you'll get dead fast. And if you thought CTF was fun, wait until you see Citadel.

A clarification of my former posts for Althor

I was never defending the position of Q3A specifically. Out of the box, Q3A is the worst FPS out right now, in my opinion. The opinion I am defending however *is* that thousands of people *will not* continue to play a game that *sucks*.

I never get angry over a game and lol I never cry; it just isn't worth it.

Glad to read that, 'cos everything else would be a bit silly, which doesn't mean that it doesn't happen from time to time as you can read between the lines of some posts.


To SOL:
Yeah ! I forgot that one. It's a REAL mess.
I hope romero got slapped im the face for that crappy game by seeing that his pal Warren Spector created such a superior game like Deus Ex. (but let's not forget he's the boss at ION storm and payed for deus Ex)

Is Deus Ex really that good? I never got it becuase I really havent had the time, but with xmas coming up and some free time is it worth getting?

I think Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force has to be counted among the best FPS games out there.
Quite frankly, it took me by surprise, I thought it would be another piece of crap in a box with "Star Trek" on the outside, but it's really cool.
If you haven't tried it, and you have a fast connection, download the demo.

I haven't tried "Wheel of time". Whats the storyline? How is the single player mode, or is it a multiplayer like UT and Q3? I haven't bought a game in a while. I was waiting for Red Alert 2. Let us know if its worth our money. Do they have a demo?

BP6 with dual 366@550 and loving it

Hey Sol,

check out the Deus Ex demo ( I know, it's damn big but worth the download ).
Deus Ex is as good as Daikatana is bad. And Daikatana is the worst 3d **** i've seen yet.

Thanks I guess I will check it out. I might have it on one of those magazine CDs so that might save the download.

Be sure to get the D3d beta patch - I think you've got a GTS or something.

Wheel of Time was highly underated. The architecture and textures were fantastic in the levels. I rather enjoyed it, with the only problem being the weapons system. I always switch through weapons with q and e rather than using the number keys so switching weapons was a bit difficult. Of course, this was all solved with the THUMB utility. Anyone else think Legend are going to do a fantastic job of Unreal 2?

It's not only the graphics but the atmosphere that makes this game so cool.
Do you remember the voices in Shadar Logoth ?
I had the lights turned off and speakers turned up, I almost got a heart attack in some dark corners.

I hope that Unreal 2 is better then Unreal 1. I thought Unreal had very good graphics, but it just lacked something for me. UT on the other hand was just pure fun. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif After seeing some of the Whell of Time stuff I am pretty sure Legend will do a good job. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif

Daikatana redefines the word bulls**t.Romero has created a new software-genre:The totally waste of HD-Space.The best thing on this soft is his deinstall.-routine.

<<<<<<<<<|MeT@B@RoN|>>>& gt;>>>>>
>----If it bleeds, it can be killed!----<

Th best FPS for me are:


1.UT
2.UNREAL
3.Halflife
4.Deus Ex (?)
5.Thief 1+2 (?)
6.System Shock 1 (!)

MetaBaron, your list and my list are identical. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif

I have to say my favorite is Jedi Knight. That game is very cool. However, no Mac version. (I'm running a Mac right now) Oh, cruel cruel world!!!!!!!!!!

------------------
I play Russian Roullete every day, a man sport, with a bullet called life, yeah mama called life.

Single player--
1)Systemshock2
2)thief
3)deusEx
4)Half life

Multiplayer--
1)Tribes
2)Half life- CS
3)rainbow6

I would have to give it to Q2. you have to consider the tech at the time and what it brought to the industry. Unreal, UT, Q3.. yeah they had great graphics but was the level design all that great, the weapons, that much better. Nahh, I also liked Duke Nukem. great levels.
1. Q2
2. Duke Nukem
3. Half Life
4. UT
5. Unreal
we all ahve a-holes, thats mine.
Nerf

Oh where oh where are you SOF fans? Damn, I know you're out there. I guess they play so long that they dont have time to post. hehe


Well, i think the major reason is for that damn WON server. If they had a decent multiplayer server I don't think that I'd ever get away from that game. Well, i guess that I'm gonna have to wait for SOF 2. but that might be a while since they just released Elite Forces, which is also a great game. Damn Raven really rocks!!
