so what do you think?

This costs $28.99 is it worth it? With it being a year late to compete with UT?! Are there any other FPS coming out apart from ofcourse Unreal 2?

What's the hype on this? Is it actually different than running around killing others before they kill you or is there an actual game hidden in that eye candy?

jump jump shoot rocket... hmmm I might check it out, but lately Quake 3 has been kind of dull for me. I am more into the strategy team based games. hopefully this will have something good to it.

Tactical Ops, Team Fortress Classic,Deus Ex every now and then its fun to use the frontal lobe of your brain.
Quake3 question:Which button do you click more? jump or attack...

Quake 3 Arena was the best Deathmatch game of all time for me. It's the most balanced(all weapons are useful in a fight), and most adrenaline injecting(it makes me go nuts while playing it). This game really takes off the stress of study daily before I sleep.

Unreal Tournament is very nice too but not as balanced, and not as nice in graphics. That's why Quake 3 Team Arena will do the things, that Unreal Tournament has, in the best way. It will offer better graphics and better balance and physics. I'm really anxious to try it, but since it's not a free add-on, people might consider spending money elsewhere. There are a lot of options these days, and there will be more(Tribes 2,TF2, Halo).

The only Quake 3 that I play is with the Weapons Factory mod, as it is more or a team game, otherwise UT suits me just fine.

When asked how World War III would be fought, Einstein replied that he didn't know. But he knew how World War IV would be fought: With sticks and stones!

I gotta say that I've always thought Q3 had a better, more natural feel to me. Maybe it is because I played a LOT of Q3 before even trying UT, but i still prefer Q3. Oh well, I've since found Tribes and haven't done much other than play that for while now.

I think i played more Q3 then UT. I think this is mainly becuase I play a lot of Q3F. I will probably buy team arena when it comes out to hold me over till the bext big game.

Nice of you all to reply, , but after reading about "Rune", which IS the next big game I am hoping, this is where my gaming aspirations lie! I've heard it uses the UT engine but instead of 1st person with guns its 3rd person with big choppas .. I mean swords and axes and that. Rune, yea man that sounds cool!

Damn straight! Checked out the demo last night, its wicked!
Combat system is tough, or maybe just to learn, but I like the challenge.

Mmm...omnipotence, gotta get me some of that!

I don't see how you could call this add-on a UT like mod for Q3. ther are quite a few new styles of play and i have yet to see a "rune" or "tech" in UT. I am a big fan of the Classic CTF mod for Q3A and this add-on from id incorporates a lot of similar features as the Team Arena concept. a far cry from UT, but i like it that way. I haven't heard if id is including the grapple, which, IMHO was one of the best parts of Q2CTF and is in CCTF, i hope they included it in Team Arena.

Q3 definitely better than UT. Q3 has a much more natural feel to it than UT ever did. UT just never looked or felt as good as quake 3. Plus you can muck a lot with quake 3. You can turn your gun model off if you like, and just basically turn all the settings waaaaaay down to get better FPS if you want to. Q3 has my vote. Didn't like Q2 much for multiplayer though. Quake 1 was A LOT better for multiplayer, particularly quakeworld. I think that Q3 has much more of a Q1 feel to it than a q2 feel.....

Hi.
Can't understand why some of you say that Quake 3 Arena is better than Unreal Tournament, because it's not! If you would sit down and try UT online for perhaps an hour you too would realize that it's the better game. Yes, I have tried Quake 3, and my conclusion is : "Can't even be compared to UT".
Here are some quotes from Gamecenter's Quake 3 Arena vs Unreal Tournament. Just one thing, there are 6 categories to be won, and they are : Story, graphics, weapons, bots, levels and multiplayer. Unreal Tournament wins all of the categories except for the graphics category which Quake 3 Arena wins.
Their final analysis :
"Now we come down to the final decision. We previously noted that graphics, although important, aren't as vital as gameplay. "

"The supporters of Quake III say that if you're looking for a deathmatch--and only a deathmatch--then Quake III is king. We don't argue with that. Quake III's deathmatch game is supreme, because it was designed for the twitch-action gamer in mind."

Here's my favourite part :

"That said, we're crowning Unreal Tournament the king. Why? Because even though it may not be a superior deathmatch game, it's the superior overall game, and much more worthy of your hard-earned cash. Multiplayer gaming is not simply about the deathmatch. Unreal Tournament recognizes that, and introduces new and fresh forms of gameplay, including Assault and Domination. Where id sat safely on its laurels and just churned out a new graphics engine, Epic took chances. Those risks paid off, and the result is a new standard for action multiplayer gaming. Make no mistake, Unreal Tournament is the new king. "

You see ? UT is better than Quake 3. Anyway, I also think that the graphic and the deathmatch mode are better in UT. Yes, I've seen the graphics (Athlon 700, Geforce DDR).

So, just stop playing Quake 3 and play UT!
