hmm , did Half Life got there TeamF mod from a quake ?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah. Originally, it was "Team Fortress 2" that was supposed to be the Half Life mod. It was taking forever, so they released "Team Fortress Classic," a (piss poor, imo) remake of the original to tide over the fans. Obviously, TF2 never came out.

 

wasn't quake 3 the game that started a widespread of online FPS players?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

In short, no. Quake 3 was made in response to (in order to capitalize on) widespread online gaming. QuakeWorld, a special internet optimized version of Quake 1, was the game that spawned GameSpy (Then called QSpy). Mods for Quake 1, most notably threewave CTF and the original TeamFortress, got pretty big online and the community was that much larger. The rest is history.

At the time, Q1 did have an amazing community, then with the release of Quake II, more and more (some of the best of their time) mods started appearing into the light. It was in 2000 when Half-Life took Quake 2's "Best engine to mod on" with the advent of Counter-Strike Retail and Day of Defeat beta. But Quake 2 revolutionized the modding community because we all know, the single player sucked.

That's basically it. Quake 1 and Quakeworld started the big online boom, and really opened up the modding community with the relatively simple QuakeC programming language. Quake 2 took it a step further, and the mods were numerous and high in fun factor (Superheroes Q2 was friggin' awesome), although very few of them had large online communities. Half-Life stole Q2's thunder when Counter Strike started gaining popularity, eventually releasing in a retail release.

I don't get it... At least the Unreal series had female player models from the get-go. :\ Both series are very good, but comparing hits to misses I've got to give it to Unreal.

Both are equally as fun.

I think I skipped over Quake 2, much like garageink, I didn't really have a computer powerful enough to run them. And my only experience with Q3 or UT was on the Dreamcast, and I thought they were pretty good, albeit surely lacking compared to their PC counterparts. They both have their merits.

I'm a UT guy, i couldn't play quake for some reason, it just didnt match up to UT in my mind.

I guess that explains why Asia Carrerra was a hardcore UT player

[Lucandrake]

You talking about the porn star who was rated number one UT GOTY player? Huh garage? Well anyways, I prefer UT, I played Quake 3 for some time online, but it was just to experience how it was, it takes more skills to play UT tho, dodging and aiming is not a easy thing to do, quake makes it simple, jumping and the first one to shoot (like in the wild west) wins the battle

[Inky]

i dunno if she was rated no. 1 but yes she's a porn star.

i played her once. (or someone pretending to be her) she was vary good.

[Wizard]

She had a kid and still plays ut from time to time telling from her forum.

Quake multiplayer >= UT.

 

I always prefered Quake because it was just so much more fast paced and I actually kicked a lot of ass in it. The only tournament I ever won.

[Lucandrake]

Me and my friend used to make fun of her about that, off how she would be filming and playing UT with her feet at the same time
