A new version of Q3Fortress will be released this Saturday, at 5pm CST. You can get on IRC again (either Quakenet, Gamesnet or EnterTheGame) and join #Q3F, to talk with other players. The new version includes a number of bug fixes (nothing specific mentioned on their site), gameplay tweaks, some new sounds and new documentation. So if you didn't download the first release, you better well check out the new one this weekend. Since this is mostly a tweak and fix release, there are no new screenshots on the page. Here are the previous ones [screenshots]. Thanks to everyone who emailed us.

  • Magitek, i agree completely, q3f is WAY more like the ORIGINAL TF and not that complete bastardization of TF called TFC. Too many people out there think TFC IS the original and never even tried TF the way its supposed to be. One thing I disagree with was the change in the q3a physics. I think more people would play it and stay with it if the physics were the same. In the games I have been playing, Ive seen either QWTF players who are very familiar with the game or q3a players totally new to TF. I havent seen any of the TFC guys in the game complaining like Ive seen them here complaining about it "not being exactly like TFC" or "the maps suck, they're not the exact same as in TFC". As for the guys who say q3f sucks, what the fuck do you want from a mod? It's got player classes, new weapon models, new player skins, new maps ( and some old ones, without 2forts, 90% of the old Tf public server guys wouldnt play it), new textures that FIT IN with the theme. Yeah its a remake of an old mod, SO FUCKING WHAT? The whole q3a game is a remake of an OLD GAME yet i see plenty of q3a supporters on the shack( and UT supporters, since we're talking about remaking an old idea). You want something done thats totally different from previous fps games? GO BUY ANOTHER TYPE OF GAME BESIDES AN FPS. Why the hell would a MOD for a game be REALLY REALLY different when even totally different fps games from other companies with different engines and different people designing them still play JUST LIKE QUAKE?

  • Emm....
    I think it's good that someone is making a Q3 version of it, but I think todays mod teams releases their betas too early, and I think that blows some of the suprise.

    In the mods I am working on, I will personally make them release not too many betas, and NOT TO EARLY!

    Like they set a release date, and they put a half done mod ou. Not good.

    But in another point of view q3f is very well done now, so I can't complain on them: I just want to tell you mod guys that are eager and is itching to get the mot out. Don't rush!
