More Team Arena
by Steve Gibson, Nov 25, 2000 9:09am PSTAs things tend to get quiet during the American holidays here's a roundup of a bunch of misc TeamArena stuff that so many people are playing the demo etc. Keep in mind the demo is standalone so you dont need Quake3 to play it, contrary to what a lot of people seem to believe.
- Strategy guide on Denken.com , PlanetQuake - Reviews on FiringSquad , 3DAP , 3D-Unlimited , ActionTrip , theecronom , Gaming-Unlimited - The Duffy on TeamArena thread had some posts by a couple of id guys.After extensive testing, I still cant stand proximity mines, except for neeto rocketjumps.

Pretty cool how the rails (and rockets) rebound off the shield:

I like the new Id software logo - much more "dynamic" than before.
I like the front end/menu. And as they say every meal tastes as good as it's presentation.
I've never played the team modes of the game before, so I was a bit lost after I started playing (I lost right quick). Any thoughts I have on the game play are better left a few weeks after I've played them more.
The new female character has nice legs.
Final thoughts - I wish the original Q3 was more like this. Providing the full version will allow me DM against bots (again, digital divide dial-up)
Should this reflect any up and coming game from Id Software, I'd say we might be able to expect something much more better than we do for Doom 3.

You can pick up the kamikazi whilst inside an invulnerability bubble and can use it without killing yourself, but the skulls continue to circle you afterwards! :)

You can make the cinematics fullscreen by double-clicking on the name
the map is good but nothing innovative (the maps in the demo movie look much cooler, which im sure is what id intended)
i usually like plain deathmatch and not team games but harvester strikes a good balance between dm and team strategy, and overlord is pretty cool too...havent tried one flag yet...
the arrows are helpful and unobtrusive (i don't think they mess up the atmosphere at all)
my frame rate sucks in ta, but it's playable
nice interface
what is the point of the videos playing within the levels?...like why do i need to see a video of a game im playing within a game im playing?
the new models are pretty cool but why doesn't their upper body move when they run?...they look stiff...and i think they'd look cooler if they were more "gothic" looking like the guy on the loading page...
the countdown before the match is good, glad they added that too all gametypes...
overall, i like it and look forward to the full version...back to playing...
After two days of 2.8kb/sec download speeds coupled with ISP disconnection/reconnection (thank God for that resume feature)I'm still downloading the 120 meg demo file. Roughly 54% done. Don't suppose in the future you guys could make a kinder gentler download for those of us still stuck in the digital divide? It wouldn't have broken my heart in the least to have downloaded a verion that needed Q3A installed to play it, as long as it made the file smaller.
I suppose you guys had your reasons for doing it the way you did though.

- Check out the nice effect which I seem to recall showing up in the cinematics
seta g_enableDust 1
- Similar dust effect? Not noticed any effect from my brief test but it may be map specific (who knows)
