Quake3 Gladiators?
by Steve Gibson, Jul 20, 1999 2:56am PDTjoao was browsing through the Quake3 .pk3 files (use WinZip btw) and spotted an elusive.cfg file in the latest build of Q3Test. Upon further inspection the config file shows the name "Mr Elusive" in the config. Why is this news? Well Mr Elusive is a bot programmer well known for his work on the Quake2 Gladiator bot which in many eyes was the best Quake2 bot created. What's it doing in Quake3? Has id Software recruited some outside help on the Quake3 bots? I've fired off some email so maybe we'll get a response today from id.

Unreal bogs down and kills computers.. my p 133 i had would just LOVE quake2... didnt kill it.. Q2 was really playable on a p133. but unreal KILLED the computer..... completely..
shit it boggs down my p2 400 with voodoo3 still.. and the networking code for UNREAL sucks my left testical.. quake2\'s networking is very good... even before the patches.. Unreal.. hahahaha find me a place with a server list.. no i dont wana use GAMESPY tabs n shit.. i want a real unreal webpage... ah real unreal webpage... aahaah. I\'d rather be drooling over a game than play it.. BS.. I like to beta test games.. give ya a feel for them....and quake 3 has a totally new look.. unlike unreal tournament.. unreal tournament is just UNREAL with a newer more system resource hogging engine..
people are talking about, were you able to play it online
with gobs of people? The biggest lure for q3test for me
is the ability to just hop onto one of many servers and play
with real people, not bots.
arggghh, why bother, I\'m sure somebody will have a
witty comeback ;)
That would then be why when discribing the bot features early on id were more or less discribing everything the Gladiator bot had already broken ground on.(not following waypoints but \"naving\" the map and learning it and other player behaviour !)
Q3A/Q2/Q1 are majorly different in a way, and I\'m curious to see if UT is any different than Unreal.
What the guy is saying, UT is gonna be the same thing but with CTF right out of the box. I feel the same way, that the game is nothing but hype (not saying it\'s the only overrated game coming out...).
I agree it looks cool and all (from screenshots) and I thought the original had some nice graphics, but the gameplay won\'t compete with Q3A for some players, unless you like Quake2 and like that slower paced game where it takes too damn long to switch weapons... when I\'d switch to the railgun I\'d go take a piss, come back and I\'d still be holding the previous weapon.
I wish they\'d quit playing DK2 and work on the damn game, and get all the ports out this round.
It\'s Z-A-P-H-0-D you tards. I won\'t discuss the originality of
the name, but at least spell it right.
