i noticed this over on xs-reality,
nightstrike announces details of a q3 only event in gemany. in true
cut and paste fashion -
cyberfight have news that
href="http://www.thecpl.com">cpl germany will only feature quake 3 and not
href="http://cs.xsreality.com">counterstrike. the event, which will take place in
berlin from 31st august until 2nd september, will feature q3 tdm and q3 1v1 exclusively.
meanwhile cpl europe's website has been given a
face lift ahead of the elsa cpl european championships
in london
|
|
|
not much else one can add to that, but you can take a look and check out the details of the future events on their site.
|
|
|
nethouse have cancelled their qw masters competition for this friday. instead, their just holding a lan for anyone who wants to come along anyway.
|
|
|
next month sees the cpl tourney in london. its a team event. no 1v1 competition this time round for the cpl. in fact, some people might dare to say, that this could be the last q3 team event at any cpl competition, i hope not myself.
ok, back to team.ie, i will be holding on-line and lan trials for the team. i will be ensuring that the team picked will be the best and that same team will be looked after in proper sponsorship. each player will get their flights and accomodation paid for and any extra activities which may occur from the weekend.
as yet, no dates are being published for trails, but for now, please stick your name down here if you want to be on the national irish q3 team for play against the best in europe.

just a reminder, if nethouse dont get numbers by wednesday, there's no competition on friday, which would be a terrible pity, surely there are more than 10 people that would go for some dm4?
list looks like gerry, sico, fanj, ol, devore, bunny, zero, gman, slaan, renton.
surely there's more could come along for some slaps?
skulker?
anjo?
osi?
dest?
mp, you know you want a hiding.
koopa, enter the comp if only to make the numbers.
cmon kids, you know you want it.

godsmurf from clanbase has done up a very lenghty and concise review of the new urban terror beta.
urban terror clearly outshines counterstrike in the realism department. locational damage and climbing on structures are major reality features cs just doesn't have, and then there are a multitude of smaller features that give ut an edge: sprinting short distances, throwing knives, bandaging team mates, realistic weapon reloading, realistic kevlar, weapon silencers, night vision, ... . most of these features not only enhance the realism but also the fun.
its very detailed review and really worth looking into if your interested in ut2. check it out here.

the guys from quake 3 fortress have released 18 lovely shots of the upcoming beta 2 release. they look delicious, and are available here.
for those of you who are still uneducated, quake 3 fortress is a game 'inspired by' qwtf* for the quake 3 engine. it's being done by a load of qwtf nuts, who like to idle in #q3f on irc.quakenet =)
and for those of you who remember spazball, the qwtf map, have a look at q3f_spaz. it looks very very nice indeed.
* quakeworld team fortress is a game by team fortress software, who were hired (i belive, correct me if i'm wrong) to make tfc for valve. qwtf is the mother of all class based mods, and all you youngsters need to play it. i will be playing it in dnc this saturday night if you want a go.
oh, thanks to deadbankclerk from fortess.ie for this one.

according grenville armatage lag of over 150 milliseconds is unacceptable to most quakeiii players. he details his not very scientific findings here.

the old gt website was one of my favourite quake websites around. after a re-design by argh its looking as slick as ever. its well worth a look here. even in beta, its an amazing design in my opinion, completely overshadowing my meagre attempt at a new fh website... although i must admit that bikerfish is l33t

hot from the hands of lloydm (he of ancient archipelago fame) come these screenshots of a ctf level he is working on.

there is an interview over on cyberfight with death. well worth the read, a very modest lad who doesn't overrate himself unlike some players i know.
|
|

map makers will be interested in this. the long time going mod, quark has just got a new release. some interesting features added. for those of you not in da know, quark supports, q1, q3, q3, hl, sof, and many more. its worth a download if your into map making.
|
|
|
i saw this over on nightstrike's column. he describes a recent experience himself and his sister had while playing on-line games. or maybe, i should say, he describes a recent bad expience which resulted in his sister vowing never to play q3 again! worth a read.

i'm sure you've all managed to download the new "pro" versions of t2,t4,dm13 and dm6 (from the upcoming new point release) from somewhere and have been busy trying them out (myself included and i like 'em), but they might change just yet; quote from paul jaquays:
the leaked maps are mostly older versions. very good chance that all the maps that are eventually officially released will be different versions than those out there right now.
at id we are not very amused that they have been leaked. is it any wonder why we don't do very much pre-release testing outside our own offices?
i wonder if he's just saying that to dissuade people from using the leaked maps, thus encouraging people to patch their servers which means "bumping" the protocol number again meaning more incompatible demos etc.

over on www.decursor.be, it has been revealed that asus will be putting an end to the "see-through" cheating drivers:"asus taiwan marketing manager kent chien e-mailed today the company will delete the see-through cheating code in their future drivers, as a result of the protests from the gaming community. but maybe this move comes too late, because the company already released the drivers for their geforce 3 video card. as long as this driver works with current directx versions, it can be used to cheat. removing the code in future versions will not stop current asus buyers from cheating. even the cheating detection by checking the windows registry (as asus proposes) can be disabled by a skilled programmer. i think asus realised too late what were the consequences of their newest driver "features": thankfully asus finally saw sense to stop producing these drivers. unfortunately though, it looks as though they might have stopped it too late...check out the whole story here.
