Quake3 Update
by Maarten Goldstein, Apr 17, 2001 5:02pm PDTid's Graeme Devine updated his .plan file with some news on a new point release for Quake3. It's not coming out real soon but they are still working on it is pretty much the word.
Well, for several reasons, we're still working on the point release, and it's still a ways out. We've been working extremely hard to get it to you, and working with the mod community to get all the features into the point that you've asked for, and it's all taking a little more time than we originally anticipated. We've also been working hard on the various other work projects id has for Robert, Mr.Elusive and I. Some of these have been on a critical time path in the past few months, and have required our utmost attention. That's not to say we've not been out there listening. Paul Jaquays over on quake3world has been feeding us daily requests that we've strived to include in this, hopefully the last for a long long time, super mega point release.

But many of the design decisions which went into quake3 were debated on these channels in the months leading to release.
backpacks, aren't they important for teamplay?
footsteps, won't that make the game less suspenseful?
reducing spawn kills, won't that make it less exciting?
slow weapons???
I remember how much the old school players were criticized on these channels for voicing their concerns about quake3 shaping into a dull game.
Its ironic that those critics of the hardcore players were also among the first to say "quake3 sucks" and move onto UT / counterstrike / tiddlywinks as soon as they saw a shinier box which also met all their requirements.

Hope the patch makes 3 damage machine gun the default, or something similarly effective to alleviate the gayness of the 7 damage machine gun.
Looks like I will reinstall Quake 3 soon, that map looks very familiar!
I spoon-fed you this news more than a week ago. To modify the quote from that dude on jurassic park, "Hello? This is a news site? You do have to plan news on your news site, right?"

id shouldn't really bother with another patch, unless they are trying to impress the bots or something.
