Quake3 In Top 20

Just a quick update for you guys. Just about all hell broke loose when Quake3 fell out of the top20 sales list well, guess what. Quake3 is back, and all the way up to #7 while UT drops from #8 down to #12. Guess that shows you 1 week of sales figures isnt exactly a telling sign of market performance as a whole. Also of note is the price of Quake3 dropped from $49 to $40 though which probably boosted sales. (Jack noticed that, cuz he's anal)

  • I don\'t agree with so-called expert opinions that the RL should be made the most powerful weapon. What\'s the point of having shitty weapons? I think it\'s more interesting to watch games where there are a few useful weapons.

    And if the comments below about the Plasma are true (\"too easy\" to kill with it) then why isn\'t it used all the time?? Maybe it\'s because just like all the other weapons, it\'s useful in certain situations and not so useful in others. Q3 was not made from FFA. If nobody uses it anyway, what\'s the point of removing it?



















  • My favourite player...
    at the moment is for sure D16-Makaveli. Here is why:


    \"Let\'s not forget the fact that quake 3 has got to be one of the worst games i\'ve ever played. At least from what i\'ve played in the past. The gameplay is horrid, and the maps require no strategy what so ever. All we got now is infinite ammo ffa 1 v 1\'s with camping. Yes i\'ll be playing for the 40k, but once again, that\'s because there is 40k. If there was no money out there i seriously doubt a lot of players would play q3. I can\'t wait for this stupid game to die. They better hope i don\'t win in Dallas because i\'ll yell it from the type of my lungs..\"Quake 3 sucks my cock. Thanks for the $40k. PEACE!\" That\'s if i even decide to go of course. I still can\'t decide if i want to put the effort in to practice this dull game. But more than likely i\'m done playing after that tourney. This game blows.\"

    I think he has got the point.Oh how i want him to win that tourney!!
