Quake has one thing.

This tradition continued with Q2, and now with Q3A which has quite simply the most developed gameplay of any online shooter. I've played Unreal (shocking input lag in D3D mode and orrible OpenGL support), Unreal Tournament, Serious Sam, Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Kingpin and a slew of others that didn't stick in my mind. The one I go back to is Quake 3. I play the Threewave mod, specifically CaptureStrike (think Rocket Arena [fine mod] meets Capture The Flag). Here's testament to the staying power of Quake. People are /still/ playing the original QuakeWorld online. People only play Doom for a few minutes nostalgia now. ("WTF I can't rocket jump! Hang on, I can't jump AT ALL!") There's a whole 'nother post waiting about how the Quake 3 engine kicks Unreal's sorry ass, too :-) Peter [link\|http://www.debian.org\|Shill For Hire] [link\|http://www.kuro5hin.org\|There is no K5 Cabal]

But nowadays I run one of the new GL-ised version where they've added things like jumping. And translucency. And the impression that some people just refuse to let go of old games and learn to move on :) On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.

But you could jump and squat. If you squatted in a well or toliet, it would take you to an underground water shortcut. Just watch out for that truck on the main road, and find the bowling ball to hit the chickens with and knock them down like pins. Funny for the first 20 minutes, but then you get tired of playing it. *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*
