I don't even know why I keep replying when it's been discussed countless times already, maybe I'm just too lazy to clean up my room. There is _zero_ development for CPMA VQ3 because VQ3 is not _meant_ to be changed by anyone but id software. Now you'll obviously reply that the physics thing was a major change, but in the end it was nothing but a bug with 125fps in OSP that got fixed for CPMA, and arQon is quite strict about such things. Apparently it's deeply tied together with netcode and other things, so giving it up would break the rest of the mod as well. Bad luck.
In addition, things like jumppads were build with the currently present physics in CPMA VQ3 so there even was an intention to have it this way in the first place. Still, that's not what really goes wrong.
The huge majority VQ3 community is too damn stupid and completely unable to accept, discuss or suggest any changes in a reasonable way. It's just way too much of a mess to get it organised, compare it to a democracy with a huge population where everybody gets to vote about everything. Half the people have no interest anyway, the other half has at least as many suggestions as there's people and most of them have no fucking idea what they're talking about. It's not like arQon hasn't tried, see the attempt to improve VQ3 spawn system when CPMA became the #1 competition mod. Everyone was just suggesting different things all day long with the only result that sooner or later the whole thing got put back to the same old spawn system we are stuck with for all these years. The community simply failed to get organised and suggest a good solution, there was just endless whine no matter which way the spawn system would be changed.
There's even an attempt to take care of the fact that VQ3 will never be changed, called CQ3. There's someone else than arQon, namely qrealka, on the job in basically adjusting VQ3 to today's circumstances: players' skills, hardware, internet connections, netcode, physics. How come there's no huge contribution by the VQ3 community to this attempt? A handful of people apparently are interested in sorting it, but the huge majority just sits there and whines. What the fuck is wrong with this community?
Besides, it is very well understandable why arQon doesn't care much about VQ3. CPM is supposed to be the evolution of deathmatch, so improving Q3 by the pov of CPM devs means changing it towards CPM gameplay. VQ3 just happens to sit there as well and never got removed, but the mod is not about VQ3, at least not focused on it. Why don't you bitch at rhea for leaving you alone, for not updating OSP anymore? Seems it's much easier to bitch at the CPMA devs who even support your gameplay although they dont' really have anything to do with it than at rhea who retired? This would obviously be retarded, but is it any better this way? There's always two sides to a story, and apparently many don't see it at all.

I'm sure you'll think I again am one of these arQon-cocksucking CPMers, and I actually do play CPM. However I grew up with OSP VQ3, played it for countless years in many TDM and CTF leagues, played pub duel and only ever moved on to CPM when all my clanmates would drop and the leagues got empty and boring. I did try to get people play other maps than the 2-3 overplayed default maps, but no way. I did vote on polls and play in cups with fresh mappools but no one would be interested. It's always been the same, the VQ3 community has zero tolerance towards change.
And no, I did not just get turned into a CPMer and am now best friends with evil arQon, I play it for the activity and gameplay. It's quite the opposite. I got banned from IRC plenty of times, and I'm as close as possible to being banned from the promode forums as well. There's many things I simply can't stand or agree with, and many CPMers dont. But seeing how idiotic the community acts all the time, how unorganised this bunch is, how they're only ever demanding stuff without giving back anything useful, I can very well see why things are the way they are right now and why there's a small group of people needed to enforce things on others. And the devs still listen, just not to the average idiot posting the latest whine on esreality.
