QUAKE 3D : Hallowed be thy Game

[X-ray]

I just got over my Anarchy Online addiction and now this comes along...

@ Blobzie

Have you managed to play online with that demo, or is it not possible? I tried a few options, changed a few settings, but had no luck. It would be nice if a few of us could get together for a gentle fragging.

Thanks for the info...I downloaded Enemy Territory and have been having a very nice time with it, especially the TCE game (Specops vs terrorists). I get popped often though...those dudes are hardcore. I highly recommend it.

I can only comment on the comparison between Blobzie's Quake demo and the Enemy Territory that I downloaded (playing the TCE scenario).
I find ET to be far better in terms of graphics and it appeals to me more because the weapons are realistically done. I enjoyed it more (I couldn't get online with the Q3 demo, maybe it isn't allowed).
So for free online playing, with excellent graphics and sound and realistic weapons I give ET a big thumbs-up. The only thing I didn't like was downloading individual maps. They are on different servers and you find that some take quite long. I don't recommend it to anyone who hasn't got a fast connection (unless you got a lot of coffee to drink). I was downloading the TCE scenario at 230k/s and I waited quite long.

"...Enemy Territory is a bit too much like medal of honour..."

Not the TCE scenario, baby shoes. You should try that, it is like a whole different game (even though it is in test version currently)
