you both spawn with all weapons besides rail and try to spawn rape each other into the lava it seems. warsow and quake 4 also had amphi like levels. they are pretty fun
It looks much better than the old one for sure. I remember when I used to hate it. :p
Good for practicing aim. I have a feeling though people will complain that it was *slaughtered* with the new visuals, even though it`s actually an evolution. :p
I never expected it to actually "take" in Q3 like it did in QW, simply because of the fact that there was a rail in Q3. It was never meant to be pretty either, just a simple aim-only map that was like its QW counterpart. Plus I had no idea how to map well, so it was just to get some amphi-like arena into q3, regardless of how it looked :)
any map released in the future is pretty much guaranteed to be for premium subscribers only which basically kills any hope this game has of ever becoming as popular as it could.
I seriously wonder what the point is. You're gonna see one decent air rocket or shaft elevator every 3 matches and that's it.
If people want to cross their lightning penises, why wouldn't they do it on dm6 at mh or any other standard map with the same kind of open space?
play amphi in vq3/ql and you'll realize you can't get close to the conditions that make it a viable cpm/qw map in approx 5 seconds.
Rendering your point...pointless.
wow, what a fantastic marketing slogan. they should put that on the main page, but don't forget to add an addendum, " *: This map was originally free but in an attempt to greedily monetize a decade-old franchise, we decided its in the best interests of our players if we make the map premium and don't let anyone play it. Honestly, we didn't even do a good job copying a 1-room map from our previous game so don't worry about it"
I must admit that, with all the bs flying around about ql and its sub system, I have no fucking idea if you were serious or not. I doubt it but I can't be sure. I was genuinely making fun of the fact that we all know fucktards who will consider having amphi in ql a valid argument to subscribe. I don't care much about the fact they try to monetize the game/content because id is a company, not a charity. tl;dr blablabla whiny bitches will whine but won't ever go back to q3.
Criticize id's management of QL all you like, but I don't get the thing about 'greed'... they didn't kill Q3, they didn't stop people hosting Q3 servers, they made it extremely moddable and configurable, they released the source code, they didn't even try very hard to prevent piracy... all of these things are still true regardless of what they do or don't do with QL.
Haha, I love how they try to not make it a simple box, which is exactly what that map should be, for the lack of distraction in the background. If they wanted to make it interesting, they should have use the cave amphi from original Quake. Sigh.
