hrm. we still wait for more, and it's still only 12 maps with a few new game types and models. well...the box looks pretty cool. really though, why can't they put some stupid extras in here, like converted quake maps, or the maps that were cut because they didn't like 'em? it certainly wouldn't hurt their case any more than this has..

I would wager that many custom maps out there (like SPoG's "Lonely Planet" or Lunaran's "Coriolis Storm") are much cooler looking than whatever id's gonna dump out. And it's obvious, judging by the content of the original q3, that the gameplay on most of these maps will be "alright" at best.

9 months for 12 maps?

They have 3 level designers. Lets see, 12 maps / 3 level designers / 9 months = 9 weeks/map (roughly). Ouch. That cant be right...

Its too bad id totally fumbled the 'additional content after release' ball. Sure they dont have to do stuff like that but it sure casts them in a different light when you have epic releasing almost as many maps for free (we wont even mention valve...)

I cant speak for anyone else but I'm not even excited by the expansion pack. I'll only buy it if some of the steady, fast, local servers do.

I'd rather have 12 quality maps, than the 20 or so SHITE maps that came with Q3. Doubt I'll buy it though, because everyone knows ra3 owns id. Hire crt or some of those mappers or something, id.

haha, that was a good one. Just like the original bots... puhlease.

It's really not very cool of id to gouge us for something that should have come with the original game and would've if Epic hadn't realeased UT and forced id to push an unfinished game out the door...

Go ahead you id fan boy sheep, make a pre order on this add-on that should be free..

If you pay for this you should be buying mods like Counter-Strike and RA3. Quality wise both will be better then this shitty add-on.

Everything that comes with this add-on should have been in the retail box. Instead you got a Vanilla Q3A.

Bah bah bah says you....
