Are you blind to the possability of a game being better than Quake 3? I doubt you have ever given UT a real go anyway, a agame with 10 players on Assault mode is more than anything Quake 3 has ever even attempted to be.

i have no desire to play UT, because to me, it lacks class & physics. just a quick listen to the taunts will give u a great scope of what UT is like..
"whoooooooa doooD! like YEH.... i JUST FRaGGED you, BODY-BAG CENTRAL.. Woo-YEHHHHH!!" etc etc
and arghh the physics....heh, same as half-life's, absolute rubbish for online play, in respect to giving the player the tools he needs to make use of his/her talents. why do u think counter-strike is so popular,...because it's hard? hehe
it's as if the makers of (insert Will smith movie of choice) decided to make a '1st person shooter deewd'.. attempting to capture ID's class in the process, failing miserably.. and UT was the outcome.
ok, this is just my opinion.. and by now u all know how much i love UT. if playing it makes u happy, by all means do it..

coming from a dueller (1vs1), i can confidently say that q3 is heads & shoulders above ANY game... q3 has class,taste,and the most important thing of all, physics. 2nd most important thing in duel tactics/strategy. it's a battle of minds, wit, thinking on ur feet, and just basic game skill. when was the last time a dumb person won a duel comp?
never, because it takes tactics.

i love a challenge, after playing for a year.. i'm no where near mastering it. it's almost as if the physic's are so deep & perfected, that it's a never ending learning curve.. only as rewarding as the effort u put into it.
take for example, jumping in UT.. all i've seen is a bunny hop like prance in the air that'd make micheal flatley jealous. does jumping acceleration even exist? to me it's a poor base to give a player to expand upon, and grow with.
i had the whole HL slew of mods installed on my pc for a week tops.. then i got rid of it promptly. i can safely predict UT wouldn't last 1/2 as long.
thats how deep q3 is.. i'm not talking about gameplay..the single player, but what q3 was intended for, multi... it's here that it shines brilliantly.

speaking of which, EKIN.. u ready yet? or how about i just mail u a demo of me beating nightmare laker? (note: intended 'up-myself' comment added for good measure)

but i digress.. cham is right.. quake isn't for everyone, & everyone to their own, however lame the game may be.
happiness is what matters in the end.
think my coffee just owned me.

"i invite all here who are NOT regulars with quake and think thay are good aka SONIC and DRAGONBLADE to come on my server and play 2 other DC players in a TDM...Im guessing 001 and someone else (not u ED as its only fair they prove themselves on a DC against DC'ers)"

it wouldn't be fair even if i was still on dc.

I'll let you have your own opinion as you have decided to let me have mine (Which is a change) but you should know I have a SEVERE hatred for anything Half Life... So dont even mention it among UT plz

And ignore the taunts, its the gameplay that matters, and UT has alot more charm than you give it credit for Its alot slower in movement speed than Quake 3, but it IS alot heavier on the tactics and strategy department (Not so much quick fingers and non blinking eyes, though I wont say they dont help when your takieng on a mofo with a minigun) The other thing about UT is the base weapon (Handgun) is actualy usefull, and if you take out somebody who just respawned - You get there hand gun and can use them dual (Which not only looks cool but makes for a more than half decent weapon )

Anyhow.. I could go on for a couple hours about the difference between Quake 3 and UT, but I dont think it would change either of our minds so lets not start this up again

When I first played q3 I got the same impression. However after spending sometime with the game I found it had a huge ammount of depth (the most of any fps Ive played), and a huge learning curve. Maybe If you play it some more you will find the same.

"I invite all here who are NOT regulars with quake and think thay are good aka SONIC and DRAGONBLADE to come on my server and play 2 other DC players in a TDM...Im guessing 001 and someone else (not u ED as its only fair they prove themselves on a DC against DC'ers)"

Im pretty busy with exams at the moment, plus I'm pretty sure Id win easy if they are "NOT regulars". I'll try get time to play 'em if they really want to tho.

"Youve beaten decent DC players with pad, most of us could vouch for that"

Maybe Im nit-picking, but... I bet a few of the top DC quakers on seganet when I was using pad. When u sed "decent", were u comparing them to PC pros or something?...

Nope. My comparisons are in general. IE: PC players in general are better than DC players in general. That being said, i didnt mean to take anything away from you...Just that on a whole, PC players are a truckload ahead(NOTE: They have had the game for what? 3 years?)

as for 001 on pc servers, i have no doubt he'd get noticed there too. you know how much i play cham, and i know 001 would put a good chunk of those ra3 players to shame (even on dial up).
to me, pc mirrors dc in a way (but a larger world, running in a higher gear) .. it's just that the dc is limited..hardware wise, and exposure wise. these guys hardly get to see the top players in action.
my point being tho.. those that shone on dc, taking into account the limitations, have a very good chance of taking it to the same level (in ratio) on pc, maybe higher.

hehe..cham, wonder if someone should know i beat Figjam[TC] in optus duel 2 weeks ago. ;D
