Q2 vs. Q3 video cards.

[BFG10K]

actually, if your opponent has a health/weapon advantage, walking is advised, unless they're retarded and don't know the map well.

*gasp*, *gag*, *cough*.

You walk?

I suppose that means no duel? That being the case, I'll agree. Strafe jump everywhere

I don't care whether I have 1 opponent or 10 opponents. I play the same way: shoot anything that moves and constantly run/jump to avoid getting hit. It works well for me.

BTW, you only need 10BaseT for Q3. I'ts low bandwidth.

Yeah but my University labs all have 100 BaseT networking, and myself and my friends all have 10/100 network cards. If it's there we may as well use it.

hehehe....remember that "walking" thing? No footsteps = no sound.

That's right... keep walking... makes those slugs more likely to hit you.

In an open area where you have an altitude advantage, the SSG is better than the rail.

In wide open areas I've found the railgun to be the best weapon. The rocket launcher is also quite good provided you've mastered the "spreadfire" approach to firing it. The shotgun seems to only be good at close range or at medium range if you are constricted by rooms and corridors.

But then again the railgun is good in all those mentioned places as well. It's basically good anywhere so they had to add in that lag to stop it from being a super sniper rifle.

GODDAMN I LOVE QUAKE!!!!!!

You said it dude.

in duel, I do, when the enemy doesn't know where I am, and I want to keep it that way.

<< shoot anything that moves and constantly run/jump to avoid getting hit. >>

understood, and in FFA, I agree. But in duel, or when you're the last peep in a clan arena RA3 match, sometimes, walking is necessary

<< That's right... keep walking... makes those slugs more likely to hit you >>

hahaha...I don't walk when I'm in your view, ya chucklehead. I only walk as a means of &quot;stealth&quot;. In other words, if I'm walking, it'll be impossible to hit me with a railgun, because I'm behind a wall or something. I don't walk if the enemy knows where I am, only when he doesn't.

also, I misspoke about the SSG and rail. It should say &quot;with height advantage, the SSG is better than the RL&quot;

Hmm your UT Games stutter with 32mb. Cool. At 1024 x 768 on my 16MB Voodoo III run perfectly smooth. So I repeat UT runs better on Glide than any other API. Yes Loki did a really sweet job with his OpenGL file and I am sure it can only get better. But for trouble free UT butt kicking go Glide. Also does the Loki dll work with Rune, Deus Ex, etc? I hope so as I got a Ati Radeon on the way. ) And I am doing my homework just not gotten it yet.

no, i only said in the beginning of the map... its like saying i dont play UT cuz it takes so damn long to load
my roomate is using my v3 2k@183mhz so i know what the hell i am talking about.

Man its a good thing we dont talk about politics or religion in this group. Before you get pissed at someone for posting something remember this. Opinions are like assholes. We all have one.

first off, I'll say I too prefer Q2. Its quite nice with today's video card technology (compared to the voodoo1 that I started playing Q2 on) that you can run at a high resolution, enable FSAA, and still get totally playable frame rates..I love it

 

[pen^2]

hehe no i am not pissed... i just feel a pity for ya cuz you would never know what you been missing
