Quake III SUCKS or is it just me ?

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 ?

OK, so you're stupid.

Yeah.  That's probably why it was such a poor seller, eh?

Quake III is multiplayer. DEATHMATCH, TEAMPLAY and many wonderful MODs.

My favourite FREEZE TAG - GOOD TIMES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah currently i'm playing DESCENT II OLD SCKOOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Terry do you like QUAKE 4 and DOOM 3 ???          Both are good in 
singleplayer.

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.

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'! :)

Quake 3 *Arena* and Unreal Tournament are the same type of ladder shooter. 
Q3 is a lot of fun in multiplayer;  online deathmatch and capture the flag.

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

No, YOU should learn to use a newsreader, this in NOT a web forum.
A proper reply puts RELEVANT quoted text above your reply as illustrated 
here.

Google groups is screwing up usenet. Fookin' bastards.

It is generally a good practice to know how to quote properly on Usenet 
using long-established quoting conventions before sticking your foot in your 
mouth...

Google groupers are worse than AOLers. Fact is, half of them ARE AOLers, and 
the other half are asshole, spamming, ignorant, jackass, shit-for-brains 
losers that should stick to myspace or similar online idiot gathering places.

:)  

Have a nice day!

No, they would be people too stupid to find FREE news servers. (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.
