Personally I think Unreal Tournament perfected the genre when it comes to multiplayer. Q1 was a lot of spamming of grenades and so on. Q2 was better. Still a lot of chaos. UT99 was also chaos but you could combine it with perfect moves and high precision shots. Great games all of them. I used to be an elite UT99 player but as the pace kept increasing along with my age my reaction time was simple not good enough anymore. Even if tactics compensated a lot those games are not like sneaking around in CS. I mostly played CTF. Good old times.
- carlosjobim 3mo agoQuake III art style and level design is disgusting, depressing and boring. But it is the better game. Go here right now and play a few games against bots and people of Quake III and UT99: https://dos.zone/mp/?lobby=* https://dos.zone/mp/?lobby=* There is no denying that movement and gameplay is much more enjoyable in Quake compared to UT. Even with the lack in variety on all fronts.
- thinking_cactus 3mo agoIdk, I think UT has some really neat design elements, like the shock rifle that are really unique. It rewards predicting the enemy a lot and a lot of mechanical skill etc. Plus there's the cool factor of guns like the Redeemer :D QIII while solid feels missing lots of flair, it feels more generic shooter. Good, solid, but a little generic.
- BLKNSLVR 3mo agoI think what makes Q3A seem generic nowadays is that it set the standard. Q2 was always my favourite, that's where I started my multi-player journey. I only played against bots in the first Quake, and only played against my cousins at their place in Doom (they had multiple computers linked up back in the day).
