You know... I think Holesinswiss is just a BFG.....

FANBOY


[ducks]

I always thought a cool map design for the BFG would be to place the bfg in a void with a personal teleporter nearby. This way the only way to get it will be to use the teleporter as soon as your grab the bfg while falling thus escaping death

Already been done.

Not the best map in the world from a gameplay perspective IMO, but there's a couple of cool things in there.

172: You might want to check out the ADI MicroScan 6P. It's 19", has a built-in mic and USB hub, does something above 60Hz at 1600 (I forget honestly), it actually won the 19" roundups I found back when I bought it, and it's one of the least expensive ones. It sure works nice for me...

I play quake 3 for fun... I have little to vent on a day to day basis, though when I do, it really helps. I'm pretty good again, I think I'm as good now as I've ever been.. I stopped for about a year, I mean, I played, but not very much, now I play alot, and I'm back to my slick rail-wielding self, with Instagib Railgun stuff... that's basically the only way I'll play Quake3 anymore, I don't really like the normal deathmatch very much, and I absolutely abhor the BFG, I think it is the worst BFG id has ever developed. The levels are all pretty good for instagib.

DM14 pisses me off, it has that fucking BFG there and easy access to quad and RA nearby, JESUS that is such a lamer map.

DM10, however is a mans map :)
if you havent played it much you can get lost easy, but there is SO MUCH strategy in that game for FFA's and 1v1's, DM10 and DM17 are my 2 favorite maps in q3a

MIDIJUNKIES GONNA FUCK YOU UP!

"TiiiMmmmMmeeeeee!!! Uooraghaaaaooo.... Yeeeahhaaargeahhh..... TiiMmEEEeeeeEE!"

Great lyrics I tell ya. Almost shit my pants watching that South Park ritalin&retards episode.

If you have to have an uuberweapon make it like the Shockwave in DK...

[ducks]

amazing

this is the first shack thread ive read & participated in MONTHS that actually has good feed back and no lame flame wars




*sniff* its beautiful!! *sob*

I think if there was an option to make the BFG less spammy (make it fire 3 rounds at normal speed...have a 2 second delay...and ready again). DM12 and DM14 would both kick ass, and it would add a tool to the arsenal of custom mappers (another reason I'm enthusiastic about the nail and others in the new addon pack). I'd really like to see id add an option for a 3 shot delay BFG in the server set up menu...in fact I'd like to see a sub-menu of such options in the server set up menu (ala the DM-flags menu in Q2)...it could have a weaponstay option (for FFAs), an option to choose weapon respawn time (5 sec, 10, 20 ), it could have an option for 100 health respawns and other non physics/weapon issues...this would give more options to server admins and tourney organizers...the BFG option would effectively add another weapon to the players arsenal (since the BFG now is worthless for 1v1 and TP in general...too spammy for anything taken mildly seriously); and it would make more levels acceptable for more than just FFA (which is a problem right now...DM14 could be as good a Team map as Q1DM3 was back in the day if the BFG were made very powerful...but not insane; as it is currently.

Heh, just curious, but is there an official Shack Q3 Clan ? Might be fun. I'm sure we could take any other gaming sites pretty easily.

Quake2,lab,that map is Boomstick heaven.
even though most of you hate q2..LOL

143, id join regardless! :)

138,

i disliked q3dm in general, but yeah, the regular SP maps OWNED the DM maps for q2....

Heh... yet ANOTHER "violent games make kids kill" 'study' is out.

In both studies, men had a more hostile view of the world than did women," the report said.

Wow... we sure needed a study to determine that.

Following the shooting, Klebold and Harris -- who shot and killed 12 students and one teacher, wounded 23 others, and finally killed themselves -- were found to have been video game enthusiasts.

Kids who murder people sometimes like to play video games, therefore all kids who plays video games are potential murderers! Great logic. :)

136, same, hell, i bought mortyr....... :P

125:

walk up behind someone with 100h 200armor in DOOM2 with the SSG and blast it point blank, they die instantly

its a little toned down in q3..... although its still a good weapon, when i say boomstick im talking about sound also :)
the ssg in q3 sounds silenced.... hence "shotty" (depsite the ghey name)


:D
-TomServo

Lets cut to the chase shall we...

Good Maps (maps that if I see, I join): DM6, DM7, DM11, DM13, DM16, DM17
Bad Maps(maps that if I see I disconnect from): DM1-3, DM5, DM9, DM15, DM18(worst in the game)

I wont rate DM12/DM14 because they are good maps suffering from bfg-itis.

Boomstick = SSG in Doom2


Shotty = gun #2 in quake 1, and SG in quake 3





heh

76, o0ps :)

long day hehe

Ever since the gaming community established itself and there has always been this boiling argument about "camping," I find it a bit surprising that someone hasn't abandoned the idea of spawnpoints in maps altogether - just have players spawn in completely random locations in the map.

"Is it possible to take the jump-pad at the RL off to the sides? So you could avoid collsions with other people coming the other way? "

Nope, the jump-pad shoots you quickly to the other side, so you can't avoid mid-air collisions. They should have removed the needle's eye type structure in the middle of that area and allowed you some more movement on the jump-pads. That area would be damn fun then. And maybe replace the void with lava so that you have a chance of escaping instead of dying immediately...oh well, I still like the map, especially for instagib.

*hawkeye*
(woo, this thread is interesting.)
