Is anyone worried about the way that the weapons in Q3 (from what I've heard) are going to be spookily similar to the weapons in Q1/Q2/Doom? >From what I've heard, there is going to be a rocket launcher, 2 sorts of shotgun, a railgun, and a plasma gun (like in Doom). It's beginning to sound like id are basically sticking to what they believe is a perfect formula for the weapons (which are, of course, very important in a deathmatch-orientated game), without bothering to innovate in any way. This sucks, IMO. Half-life (eg) has weapons which are almost completely different to those in the id games, because they all have features which makes the weapons subtle, tactical and fun to use (anyone who's thrown half a dozen snarks at some hapless camper and then sat back to watch will know what I mean). id should really be aiming at expanding other areas of the game rather than just the graphics and networking code. -- Goliath
