Quake Champions is a fun flashback to Q3A's public server days. Quake Live never seems to have the larger matches like we used to find on random Pubs (Public Servers) either, where people would go at it in games as high as 10vs10, usually the standard was 6on6, and clan matches were generally 4on4, 5on5, sometimes 6on6 depending on the game mode/mod. It's just not the same experience IMO, I am sure some clans exist and play competitively, but nowhere near what Q3A had from 1999 into the mid 2000's. Even the best Q3A players on Point Release 1.32 weren't as accurate as players in QL.

The community is not the same and most of the players seem to be children or just botters (not 100% sure about cheating), literally nobody seems to miss a shot and it's ridiculous.

There are not many maps, nothing special or custom which is sad. the game just feels like Quake Lite to me. Not that the graphics are worse as they are actually a tad sharper, brighter, and nicer all around. Quake Live feels like a watered down version of Q3A arena to me.

The community controlled the game, we got years of amazing gaming experiences and memories, all thanks to ID Software and them allowing the community access to the source code for modding and mapping. But it's safe to say they have not created or put out a FPS Arena Multiplayer like Q3A since, and never will again. ID's newer engines have all been incredible, whether the games themselves have been or not. just proving how amazing that engine was. The idtech3 engine by ID Software is still being used for many small mods, games, spin-offs, call them whatever. but I still love some classic CTF and thanks to the US Quake Community it is still possible from time to time. I have played more ioQuake3 and other forms of Q3A, but nothing is ever the same.

I still enjoy playing Q3A, still own the original CD, and have CTF, OSP, and other mods installed.

We'll certainly never experience a gaming mod or community like this ever again. Some of the most beautiful Quake maps were made for Q2: Jailbreak and Q3A: JB:PoW by members of the community, as well as coders always on top of everything. Servers allowed games as large as 8vs8 (possibly 10vs10 at a time) to as little as 3on3, 2on2, even 1vs1 if truly desired. It was a great variety, the community itself was amazing and hands down the best group of folks I ever played with. You also had to try and stay alive, if you died you had a chance to escape if 2 or more teammates were jailed together by hopping on each other and crawling through holes, which were not on every map.

Enemies could free their teammates by hitting a button which you tried to defend. Much like CTF or Freezetag, JB:PoW teams had to kill to capture their opponents, and defend their bases' jail that held your imprisoned enemies. Some of the most exciting team oriented fast action I have ever experienced.

I loved Q3A straight from the initial Demo, it was nice they did that demo as I knew I would have to upgrade my Video Card before Q3A was actually released.īeing part of a small but incredibly loyal modding community with Team Reaction's Jailbreak for Quake II, we all got to experience the transition together as modding teams Team Reaction and Black Knight Productions combined to give us Jailbreak : Prisoners of War mod (JB:PoW).

Also, there is this champion that can move really fast, and the other that can use a grappling hook and can attack others from above.Īs a classic Quake II player who evolved into Q3A, I can til this day say there has not been a more competitive FPS Arena Multiplayer that combined skill and teamwork so easily to give us the greatest experience of all time. some people say it's even harder than Quake 3 since there are abilities for each champion/gladiator and even the movement speed varies from champion to champion. I dunno if Quake Champions has a high skill ceilling thoWell. But don't be fooled, Quake Live is also an skill-based game, even with all the facilitating 'features'. for multilayer Quake Live is better considering there's a little bit more people playing. There isn't enough people on Quake 3 and most of them are veterants that played the game since the 90's.Yes. Originally posted by Ikagura:To be honest if Quake Live is more for the casual play than being 'serious' I'm ok with that.Don't get me wrong, I love the new features such as toggle zoom, jumping without having to press +jump key many times, and some interesting settings for switching weapons when out of ammo, or the customized HUD with plenty of options/alternatives.
