I love playing Quake I & Quake II. But I can't for live of me figure out what Quake III is about? It has to be one of the worst games I have ever tried playing. The whole game is ONLY about these bad guys running real fast and you try and shoot them and they and shoot you. That's all there is too it. With other Quake's,when you finish one location you are transported to another location. Quake III was only keeping a count of how many times I killed them and how many times they killed me. Boreing !!!! Am I the only one that feels this way ? Terry in Texas

Well that must be the problem. It must be a multi-player only game. For a single player, it's got nothing. There no levels to advance to, just three different type of screens that basically do the same thing. They run fast, you shot, it keeps score, that's it. I only play single player games. I'm not a game nurd. I've never played Quake4 or Doom3 yet.

Agreed, D3 and Q4 have a traditional single-player campaign as well as the multiplayer-based aspect. -- -- * I always hope for the best. Experience, unfortunately, has taught me to expect the worst.

Try Excessive+ mod - a whole new Q3A world. Thing is you can't learn it easily - first you'll get totally battered. BUT stick with it, spectate what the others do and practise. If you do, then in a few months or longer you'll be playing one of the best games online. Read this site - lots of info and help. You'll need to install their mod. http://www.excessiveplus.net/ Come back in a few months and see what you think about 'sucks'! :) <terry75115@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:1178649338.168531.156470@p77g2000hsh.googlegroups.com... >I love playing Quake I & Quake II. > But I can't for live of me figure out what Quake III is about? > It has to be one of the worst games I have ever tried playing. > The whole game is ONLY about these bad guys running real fast and you > try and shoot them and they and shoot you. > That's all there is too it. > With other Quake's,when you finish one location you are transported to > another location. > Quake III was only keeping a count of how many times I killed them and > how many times they killed me. > Boreing !!!! > > Am I the only one that feels this way ? > > Terry in Texas >

Quake4 and Doom3 are story driven. Q4 is the sequel to Quake2. Doom 3 is, well, Doom 3. It's definitely got some storyline.

OK, First of all, Quake 3 arena kicks arse, especially if you can play it at school through the network (lots faster than online) Secondly all you guys should learn how to quote, its so unclear, To Quote start on a new line with ' [QUOTE] ' then put in the quote, then start a new line and put ' [END QUOTE] ' then your response to the quote on the next line Thirdly, Organize a Lan Party ande play games like halo, Unreal Tornament and of course Quake 3 Arena

(there are plenty) I could see possibly using it if you were away from your own computer and unable to access a newsreader, but nothing posted here is really that important that it couldn't wait till you got to a computer you could post properly from.
