just goes to show that although its a popular game, its running on a shitty engine..

Hmm I like it so much better than the q3 engined stuff though m8.And Im obviously not alone considering the amount of people who play it !
/edit Oh yeah, and games like RtCW dont have any recoil at all ! So even flawed recoil is better than no recoil, to me anyway

Pah, the HL engine is awful. It *is* good for realism games though, because the HL physics imitate RL allready... However the HL networking is really poor. Q3 Has a repuation as a LPB's game, however it feels alot smoother than HL.
HL Has weapons prediction, which makes it easy for all the newbies to get into it... Which makes it popular, which means people like you give up Q3 to play it

I also gave up quake to play it as you know. The preditction thing gave me the most trouble to be honest.
But q3 isn't just an lpb's game, its also an FPS game. The thing I like about CS/DoD is the more level playing feild, i.e. if you have only 40 fps you can still play them and do really well, playing Q3 with 40 fps, and you're asking for a rapage

Heh, i was running Q3 @ 960*720 on my TNT2 with 40fps max
Recently decided i should go for a lower res, so i'm now playing Q3/Wolfy at at 800*600... I get 40fps average for wolfy now, and about 50 average for Q3
I actually found 40fps was perfectly playable, it as just on the more detailed maps, like Q3DM18, that it went a bit lower and became unplayable.

No im not saying it isnt playable, just that with 100fps it is a lot ,lot easier . And in fairness, I guess maybe you struggle on the bw Q3 ctf servers ?

I need FPS for Quake 3.
Used to get 25 fps with my old graphics card (kicks ATi card still in the bin), and do reasonably well with vertex lighting on, etc. Now I get 99 fps all the time and smoothness has seduced me
As for CS, I think higher framerate does help. Especially for making those crosshairs get smaller quicker
But I agree with Thoddy, it is a more level playing field.

Heh, i don't play CTF
I'm actually fairly shit at plain Q3, so i stick to CaptureStrike and Instagib if i want Q3 style gameplay. Allthough saying that, i haven't played much besides Q3F lately, and i've not even been playing huge amounts of that.
UrbanTerror is allright, better than CS imo, however the new beta seems to be really laggy, so i don't play it much :/
