QUAKE III

[thomasallencummins]

I'm still playing Quake III (until I can afford a pc that can run Quake 4). The graphics are kind of cartoonish compared to games like Half Life but the gameplay and weapons are tons of fun. There is still a large online community playing QIII which keeps the game interesting and fresh.
Never had much luck mastering the railgun though. Better get back in the game and practice.

The Railgun is my favourite Quake weapon. It's all about accuracy. One hit, one frag.

I couldn't agree more. The rub is that the gun takes a few seconds to recharge. The trick is to be quick to switch weapons while you are waiting but sometimes all you have is your trusty, if somewhat ineffective, machine gun. Here's some good advice. DON'T MISS. :-)

:lol: Man, I used to LAN with a guy wo could hit you across the level with it.

Me, I'm an attacker...no matter what I got I'll charge in and try and take the guy out with it. Sometimes it even works.

Yeah I tend to do the same thing. Rocket Launcher and such blazing. I do try to move about as I charge into the fray hoping to be a difficult target. Everyone has a different style.

Ah, but give me a rail-gun and I'm a sucky camping sniper.

Snipers usually get my special attention. Sure I get killed a lot taking 'em down but its so satisfying. :-)

Not as satisfying as watching somebody just sauntering through a level with nary an idea that their head is about to explode. ;D
