TdC, weevil, thanks for the positive feedback.

It's only been ~3 days, still very much work in progress and no doubt a few errors here and there that need correcting. Day to day progress / updates can be found in the update history section:

he is, though you'll find that he's generally displeased with games that aren't called CounterStrike

You guys rule. Cheers for the update req, dunno where half the quakers would be if it werent for the UC guides. They're especially treasured on this release, which has been the most problematic for a while.

*gives gold star*

Cheers for the update req
You playing q4 atm? I'd really love to be, but it seems to have had such a bad start, that as much as I'd like it to be (and have tried to convince myself it is) 'q3 with nobs on' (particularly the ctf), it just aint :/

 

[Requ!em]

I play CTF every night*, once you've a system capable of running it smoothly it's a great game. The 1.1 final patch really does address many of the issues in previous versions and feels a lot smoother =)

*the last few weeks I've been bogged down with work and haven't been able to play as much =(

 

[throdgrain]

Theres a patch out ??

I did upgrade for q4, so it runs smooth as anything on this kit, but it just seems dead out there on the servers. I played q3ctf from the day of the first q3test (well, it was all just ffa then, but ya get the idea) solidly right up until about 6 months ago and had big plans for q4 to be 'the game for me' for the next 3 years or so at least! ... so I'm what you might call a real quake fan boy .... but q4 just seems a bit, well, shit :/
Still, a decent PR at last and a new beta of ra4 and a few other mods (xctf looks like it has potential) might help to pick things up a bit I suppose. Fingers crossed.

It was made by the people who made SoF2. It was bound to be shit !
