Ban the BFG before its too late!!

[old.ncbk]

That's it!
I have had enough of the bfg. Don't bother arguing the pros and cons, I'm not listening. We just finished a game on dm8 and dm6. First game we only had 3 players, our opponents had 4, we lead up until the last 2 mins and only lost by 7 frags. The game was one of skill and tactics and they only just managed to pip us at the post.
Then the BFG level, I spawned near the teleporter but 2 of the other team were closer, they got there first. I'll let you work out the rest of the game for urselves. Suffice to say, 2 of their team didnt see much of the map other than the bfg room.
We kinda gave up at about 12 mins as it was just a joke. Incidentally we had 4 for the second map.
Ban it and ban it now, I for one will not play another map with an enabled bfg on it.
As I read the other day, many ppl are turning away from q3 as the teamplay aspect is a souless and uninspiring experience, the continued inclusion of the lamer weapon is only adding to it.

If your winning and their team goes in the BFG room, why go in the BFG room?

Davehart,

i think you have missed the point

on the bfg dm levels, you can loss the match in the first few mins, it goes like this ->

1) all spawn
2) all run for BFG
3) Team A dies, Team B holds the BFG
4) Team A/B respawns
5) Team A crap guns ....
6) Team B give all members a BFG ....
7) Team B now all have BFG's Team A dont
8) Team B tends to kill Team A

repeat steps 4 - 8

the real point is that the BFG is a bloody lame gun and DEFFINATELY DOES NOTHING for the game (can someone pls tell me what i.d. were thinking of when thay added that gun). . . . .

even in staright FFA its a bloody waste of time, the match degenerates into a BFG slanging match.

in summary , the BFG is a lame gun, which should be charged with crimes against "the game" !, so please, please, please could BW please remove them from there servers ?

SJP, plays Q3a as [n2s]Jaguar
(iam quite happy to put me "fake" name on this post )

i thought friendly fire was on for q3a??

 

[old.rockhard]

heh, q2's bfg nearly as bad imho
When playing lava tomb feel like throwing mouse down in disgust when bfg'ing starts
Takes the fun out of it for me.
at least with quake2 u can rail em off before their bfg fires up

Quake3's bfg, hmmm? How about railin em perhaps?

Everygame should have its big gun. The BFG is a great gun and should be kept in there. Like UT has the redeemer.

Q2 BFG is NOWHERE near as bad as Q3s. In Q2, you can see somebodies holding it (because the model is massive) and know to stay back. The Q2 player can run about twice as fast as a bfg round and its relatively easy to avoid.

In Q3, if you see somebody with a BFG, you may aswell take your hands of the keyboard..your dead already.

The BFG is lame...except when I have it

The Q3 bfg is a swine to get away from, but luckily there's only one map in q3ctf that has it, and none in q3wctf.

I know lots of DM maps have it though, which fits right in. A pointless weapon for a pointless game...oooh controversy!

I must admit, the Q2 BFG is utter crap, railgun is a lot better unless your on DM8, or well any map with the BFG hehehe, get 4 ppl enemies on DM8 in Q2 with BFG's and you can still win the game. Q3 though the BFG is a wank, although without the ability to drop weapons, it makes the BFG point pivatol on the map, so therefore it adds a huge tactical role, if your team is good, you'll find a way to counter it. Q3 is still shit though so it ain't a problem.
