Q3 MissionPack Info

Damn I missed a good thread.. fucking a! and stuff.

Boy, and you wonder why we don't post on here more often...

Anyone knowtice that the gun sarge uses in the intro looks the same as the new chaingun?

409: I agree...

People just love bashing id because they're on top. They simply have the best engine with the best gameplay and mod support.

And about people being pissed about the mission pack actually costing money, WTF is up with that? I mean, they are making another product... and that's bad? If they sat on their asses and did nothing, people would actually like them better than if they released a follow-up product. And comparisons to UT's free packs need not be made. I don't care if they release a couple extra maps that they didn't finish for the full game. Hell I mean I'm NOT going to buy the Q3 pack... If I want some more maps or different gameplay, I'll just go DL Q3JB once I'm ready to start playing more. But UT... UT with a dozen extra maps is still UT... Just like an N*Sync CD with more "songs" is still a coaster... Or an AOL CD with more free hours is still a coaster... heh

guys, if you dont think its worth the money then dont buy it...its pretty simple, no need to get your panties in a twist...

I always buy the newest online FPS shooters as soon as they come out and the Quake games always feel the best physics-wise. I always end up playing the other games a few times but I always play the newest Quake game the most. I would spend $80 on this mission pack. I don't really care about the new weapons, but I think the new game types sound so cool and I can't wait for this to come out. New models and maps will be really cool also.

Carmack gives plenty back to the community.

With all of the support that he gives to the GNU and free software,
and you people are bitching? What, does he not give enough money or programming time to make anybody happy?

Ready to be flamed.

Bring it on you bitches.

1) That screenshot looks SCHWEET. How do I make my q3 look like that???

2) Can Headhunters people sue id (and win) for ripping them off and charging an insane amount of money for their idea? They made Head Hunters popular, and id gets the money? WTF? I'd be so fucking pissed. At least the net extremeties people got some CREDIT and a little $. I guess they would have to have a patent on the game type in order to have a legal complaint?

Bleh, it just seems wrong for some reason.

what the fuck do we want? good game modes, good levels, good models you fiend! not this half baked half assed space map bullshit that we have to pay 30 bucks for when epic gives pretty much the same shit away free! get it through your head damn it!

Here is a funny letter I wrote to the RA3 mailing list. I doubt it'll see the official light of day on the list but I think it's a nice rant and basically shows my feelings for what is happening in the community. It's in reply to Brandon Reinhart bitching about how this mailing list is not helpful to him or the RA:UT game and how he shouldn't waste his bandwith here. As follows:

Yes waste your fucking bandwith here! We're not "beneficial" because you don't pay any attention to us or care for our input. You're the guy making the fucking mod we shouldn't be begging for you to add features or give us something to help you with, you're doing this for US and to make your game more appealing, god damn it!

On another topic: GOD DAMN IT! I'm a bit perturbed at what a piece of shit company id has become of late wtf is this mod pack thing they're charging 30 dollars for?!? It's a fucking ripoff of the mod community, twelve shitty maps and two new models. I don't know where to turn anymore, UT sucks, Q3 sucks, HL is too realistic, we NEED RA3 or someone to remake Quake1 with purdy graphics and than everyone will be happy! FUCK!

I just I mean wtf I work and goto school and shit and what little time I
have left for gaming nowadays is filled playing piece of shit games that
both suck. One is a company bending over backwards to help the customers and mod community like Brandon here with his RA:UT mod for a game I don't like and the other is a company I used to idolize but is now saying FUCK YOU to there customers and isn't giving us shit for help, doesn't care about there buggy for shit engine or anything else for that matter. It's just annoying cuz i used to like playing these video games.

fuck it,

b00la

Anyway I found it sorta' humorous. I wrote it at 2:30am after having a long IRC chat with guys I've known since the Quake 1 days and they were all pissed off about this bullshit about as much as I was. Oh well

b00la

Nope Spellcheck errr I mean Lexy. Yes, it was meant to be funny, and I had a good laugh from you responding. Now, I see your creative juices are flowing tonight. I mean, "dilditho"? That's just lame and uninspired. I am even more shocked that you were the one to say it! I am really disappointed in you L4th31. If that is the best you can do, I'm going to bed. Have a restful sleep. Oh, and if you feel like correcting my grammar, I have a few pieces of work you can look at.

Thanks!

-Delithio a.k.a "dilditho"

sounds good mr poo poo

Go bother people on Slashdot. Or I'll sic Lex Lethal's ever present bitng wit, and sharp tongue on you.

I bet you didn't know that.. I PEE ON ORANGE JUICE AND THEN I MASTURBATE IN YOUR FACIAL CREAM!

414, i havent played UT, but that nail-shotgun sounds like that green gooby globby thing from the UT Demo... i hope it aint

god, if I weren't on AOL (IT'S THE BEST FAGOTS!) I'd punt you so bad

shut up, I bet you're just an id fanboy like the rest of them

hmm, COME ON, LET'S START SOME FLAMEWARS HERE!!

you're all idiots. just shut up you losers. go do something constructive. GUESS WHAT, YOUR OPINIONS DON'T MATTER!!

You guys looking forward to the Nailgun do realize that it's not gonna' be the traditional Nailgun? One of the reviews stated it's going to be a "shotgun type of nailgun." I have no idea WTF that means, I guess we'll see.

Just like all other game companies, id is out to make a buck. If people buy it, good for them. Q3 is a fun quality game IMO, but I'm not paying for an add-on. There are going to be many quality mods with excellent maps and gameplay avail for free.

Gimme Q3RA now! Gimme Gimme Gimme. Gimme for free baby!

Um, I bet a bunch of people are just going to warez this cause it's so goddamn expensive for so little content.

I bet id realizes this.

I've been reflecting on the id haters.

You're worse than Linux or Mac zealots.

And your opinions are in the vast minority.

It's an honor... and it's a business... but mostly it's a
business -- Jim Carrey, MTV Movie Awards.

I'll buy it. ID game physics feel the best to me and I need more.
But Quake FPS games live on thru community involvement and I hope
mod authors don't feel disenfranchised by this add-on.

PS. vorlonesque -- quality post dude.

people only seem to be satisfied by good games with little hype. we are the underdog fans nowadays! obviously 3drealms knows this, as they're trying to suppress duke 4 hype as much as possible. id didn't even need to do anything, but the fact that they were id kinda built up the hype machine regardless. not to mention the fact that UT was quietly making an emergence.

you know, maybe id realizes that this is no "one-must-die" war. they do not need to compete with epic. whether it's because "id fanboys are sucking their cock", or because they actually make a pretty solid game, maybe they don't feel they have to try and crush epic into the ground. maybe they just do what they do, make the game they want to make, do the plans they want to do. they have confidence in themselves, obviously, because they're charging for their mission pack.

also, if i were from id i wouldn't read here anyway..the majority of people are dumbasses, whether one way or another. you get the "id haters" who, while they may have valid reasons for disliking id now, will stoop to any level to bash id, even if it is a small tidbit of information about the mission pack, which could be 95% of what's in the MP, or maybe only 10%. then there's the id lovers, who go to great lengths to defend id because 1) they happen to like quake 3, and 2) those id haters are some egotistical bastards :P unfortunately, the id lovers usually end up sounding like idiots and becoming fodder for the others. and then there's the 5% of people who either say "wah there's room for both!", or "they both suck", or "this conversation sucks, here, let me decode this entire conversation"..hey..that's me!

well i had more but i'm dumb being a dumbass. also, don't label me as an epic/id fanboy..i never said i was a fan of either :P

bitch and moan bitch and moan.
dont like it, dont buy it

sales figres will make id think about their position
if it sells, they'll keep doing it, if it doesnt sell they'll change tactics.
