Quake 3 Arena - SERVER OPEN NOW!

mozza · Mon 19/12/2005 09:32:23

There is a game out called Quake 3 Arena and it has been out for a fair while now. If anyone has this game we could set up, using this thread, a schedule of games for us AGSers to play in and have a bit of fun away from the adventure games. Don't get me wrong, I love adventure games, but something different is nice too. So I want your ideas and a list of people with Q3 willing and able to participate.
Just an idea still, but it could be something.
Thanks.

i'd be up for that, and also some UT

PsychicHeart · Mon 19/12/2005 09:38:09

this sounds like a neat idea!
I Don't own Q3:A, but i have a friend who would be more than willing to give me access for such an event.
Nice idea.
PS: And, while we're at it, why not have a THUG2 (some of you may know from some of my other threads that this is my favourite game ) online? We could have proper photos and have 16( i think that's the limit ) AGSers riding around on skateboards and tagging?

Nikolas · Mon 19/12/2005 09:38:58

Not yet, but I spote the game for 6.90 GBP in amazon.co.uk, which certainly qualitifes for buying!

That would be highly interesting!

Note: Is there any way of hiding this thread from LJUBI? They are going to kill us!

Tiny EDIT: I have played Quake 2 at least a douzen times at all difficulty levels... I actually love spenting some time by just killing...people...

Thanks Mozza

It's great to see some people interested already, and I will update my first post to include any AGSers that are willing to play. Please just make it very clear that you are interested in playing or I might miss you.
BTW Nikolas it is a great game and is very much worth it.
Thanks.

EDIT: Are you out Flukeblake?

We have Quake 3 arena (not team arena) is that it.

And we want to play with you but we have only 56k is that enought?

LGM · Mon 19/12/2005 13:40:21

I own it.. I may be game. I'm sure my DAD would love to play too :-p

BOYD1981 · Mon 19/12/2005 13:57:48

one good thing to do might be to size up each others' connections and specs to see who will make the better host (unless ofcourse somebody has access to a dedicated server... which, if there's servery stuff for mac, i might be able to arrange with a friend of mine)...
okay, so i have a downstream of 2mb and upstream of 256k, Athlon64 3400+ with 1gb of ram.

dasjoe · Mon 19/12/2005 14:01:32

pff.. all the cool kids play counter-strike: source.
haven't touched q3a for a year now.

Haddas · Mon 19/12/2005 14:39:27

i avoid cs like the pest. cause i've noticed most of the players are idiots. I deal with them every day.

ManicMatt · Mon 19/12/2005 20:26:53

Me no got Quake.

My monitor is too small for counter strike, I have to wait for my cursor to hang over a character till the text appears so I know whether to shoot or not, cos I can't see or they are!

Also, the only time I played it, my ally was getting shot so I took aim with my pistol and shot the enemy in the head. BLAM! Then the ally turned around, started firing at me, (With no friendly fire it was pointless) and then I was kicked outta the game. WTF?

Yes, not Team Arena.
It would be horribly laggy, but if you want you could give it a shot.

BOYD: My pc is crap with 800Mhz and 128mb RAM. I have 512k/128k broadband connection I think, but I don't have a clue how to run a server. I'm currently trying to find out, asking around while playing Q3 online. I think to run a server with enough power etc. for our group we would probably need a dedicated server with a really fast internet connection.

[lgm]: was that a joke about your dad or is he genuinely interested?

hajo: would you play?

Phemar · Tue 20/12/2005 04:29:39

I'm in!

Just tell me where to connect.

LGM · Tue 20/12/2005 04:41:03

My dad is addicted to FPS games.. And he constantly plays Quake 3 Arena. He never plays multiplayer, though, because even after years of playing he still SUCKS. :-p

But yes, it's a fairly serious offer.

n3tgraph · Tue 20/12/2005 07:16:04

heh,

I haven't played Q3 / UT for quite some time....
I went to some small LAN parties when I was about 16

It was fun at that time!

I'd love a game once again! let me know if there is a server!

Damien · Tue 20/12/2005 09:22:06

If other games are allowed, sign me up for UT, Q2, ET and True Combat: Elite

Gregjazz · Tue 20/12/2005 09:25:59

I have Quake 3 Arena...

Corey · Tue 20/12/2005 09:46:40

plz allow UT so I van own you all

AlbinoPanther · Tue 20/12/2005 09:51:01

We are in no matter how slow will it be
