i hear everyday how quake3 is dead so soon, no good player's online etc. more people going back to quakeworld, and even more moving to counterstrike/unreal tourney.

if you wasnt playing quake3 (if you are) what would you play?


i have never played counterstrike, and havnt even seen the game played realy...if i was to stop playing, i would no doubt go back to quakeworld. i still recieve emails each day from old quakeworld players asking me to play for there clan, demo's and cfg's. i removed quakeworld just after quake3 came out, deleted all my demo's from every site i knew, and moved on. i think i could easily get back into it with some practice.


many people quit quake1/quake2 to play quake3, there was huge money to be won when it first came out, but has now gone quiet. i havent heard of any big prize's won in ages.

was the quake3 scene only modivated with money in there eyes?


the sponsors are moving away from quake3, will the player's stay or move on?


what do you think the hardcore player's will do, and what will you do?

What is the story OVERLORD? Are you in nD or ACID or both? Dump ACID for nD when they are doing well but then back to nD when a bit of Euro glory beckons. You want your cake AND eat it. The best of both worlds. You want the irish quake community to get together and help nD do well in Eurocup just after YOU left them high and dry. While never considering doing the decent thing and helping another Irish clan get in instead. It's all me me me. What do the lads who are still in nD think of this? What a fuckin mess. Sweet Jesus. Coming or going ? OverLORD you dont know you arse from your elbow.

I hope the hardcore players go back, and I think they will. All it takes is a few more people to get pissed off with quake3, and it will die altogether. And its not just oldskoolers who will go back, there is a whole generation of players who started off with quake3, and havent seen how brilliant qw is. So thats why I don't think it will be boring. New maps can be played for more variety, and it is more modem friendly... Theres a fair few people in Ireland who have dipped back into quakeworld. A few more, and we can have wars any night of the week. I look forward to it.

ive donated to quake.ie!


i know sure drex! playing bw clanarena like, why does nobody like the cpm? its faster, feels nicer, sounds/graphics/hud better, auto weapon switch = vital in CA to display l33t midair combos and stuff. So u ask them "why don't ye like CPM?".. they say "because nobody plays it".

I hope i'm in the cold cold ground the day people start playing vq3, or move back to quake 1.

Quake3 is a fun and addictive game ... that's all there is to it for me. Red alert was the same, Quake2 was the same ....

Well, i'd imagine this time next year we'll all be playing Doom 3.

I've only played qw once or twice (badly) , having seen the speed it can be played at, i for one would be on for learning it.

when we all have geforce3's in our machines... and the trees in the country side are growing these weird fresh crispy 600 dollar notes as leaves.....


Nah, Doom3 will be a great display of graphics, and other such pretty things, designed purely for rich kids. I really doubt anything will ever be as popular as QW.

Back in the day..... Back to the day....

I have one thing to say. I have been playing Quake 1 for 5 years now with a couple breaks in between of no longer than 3 months. I tried Quake 3 for a couple months and tried Quakeworld again. Quakeworld still was the most fun, the most reliable, and the fastest game I have ever played. The new games are too slow and need qw speed to compare to it. I would like to see some people come play with me. I hang out at #redemption on irc.enterthegame.com. Msg me.
