This is bad. Means Intel isn't interested in sponsoring more quake events.

No, they said they would be at the next Quakecon, or atleast hinted at it at the event. They only added the map so it would be played at Quakecon.

Intel has been sponsoring Quakecon since the beginning of Quake Live. I was hoping for something more.

Maybe next year :-(

This has zero reflection on that, they specifically sponsored the map to be up for a couple of months around Quakecon, no more.

One of the Intel guys at Quakecon said "See you next year" to Sync or Sponge which is very promising :D

Finally

yaaar, can we skin the intel map in old dm6 textures? ... then every1 will be happy rite?

i preferred the new geometry, they took out all the annoying ledges everywhere

zhis!

Does anyone know who was the first player to go from bridge to rail on dm6? Or use that tactic?

I think prozac was the one that did the plasma to red armor first on ztn.

I don't know, but I've heard a legend that Walter is the first and only person to do it in one (circle) jump only. Not seen it myself.

demo or gtfo

didn't happen

prozac was also the first person to do a pg climb to mh on t4 in a tourney.... not that many people did it since.

Does anyone know the answer to this? I figure esr out of all places would know the answer to this.

as it is a rather easy jump i think i've seen people doing it more or less when the map came out. atleast it didn't take too long once the fps<->physics connection was figured out. it's also a fairly obvious 'trick jump', there is a gap, a ledge and rail screaming: JUMP HERE .)

e.g. a much harder jump that was discovered during early q3 duel was on t4 indoors from door to door. people were going 'whoa!!' when blue/fatality did that in a tournament, not so much with b2r.

I think I remember when quake 3 first came out when they showed lan tournament pictures that the maxfps was set to 85. I also think sv_fps 20 was the setting back then. Quake 3 had kinda different physics in the very early point releases of the game. I seen fatal1ty do the rail to bridge in dm6 in a TDM tournament back in feb 2001. Do you know of any demos earlier then that when the rail/jump was used?

that's a bit weird, until the pmove command was introduced you had a huge advantage with 125 fps over any lower setting. that must have been a q3test lan then or someone unfortunate with an ancient pc.

iirc maxfps wasn't limited for years until fazz et al exploited 333 fps. people used 125 fps right from the beginning. my memory might be fading though .)

no idea about an early demo showing it. i'd search for duel demos if i were you btw, in tdm that was (is) considered a high risk move.

hah, found something.

anon is right, godsmurf indeed claims to have been the first to do the jump and upload a demo of it in 1999:

After our Cup final I switched to Quake 3 along with the rest of Cicatrix. Although I already disliked Q3 from the q3test day, I was pretty good at it, as our early Q3 screenshots show. I was probably the first to do the rail-to-bridge jump in q3dm6 (on the day I got Q3 in fact); in any case I was the first to put up a demo of it, on SHOD*.

*SHOD as in 'shayne's house of demos' or something like that. one of the first and probably biggest quake demo sites and spiritual predecessor to esr :)

Stayne's House of Demos. :) My old site.
