UT was the obviously superior choice but in Quake 3 you could do all kinds of hosed up trick jumping and strafing that would exploit the game physics. There was a whole nerd subculture of people just jumping around maps as fast as they could https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAVsJI2PCiM

counter strike was better than both q3 and UT. Back then I thought it was refreshing to go from the sci-fi environments to a "realistic" one with like AK47s and terrorists and stuff. I had no idea it'd be copied so much and so many times after that point on

i have pwned more noobs in dm-deck16 than any other virtual environment. i could play that level blindfolded, and still grab the redeemer first and detonate it center of the map

Lol if you play any UT game with the redeemer left in.. it would appear that you are the noob

UT2k4 was far and away the best (2k3 was under appreciated but the shield gun was a little too strong and high level matches got a little too turtle-y)

Capture the flag draft leagues were the poo poo though. The translocator was such a genius balancing mechanism (better than the grappling hooks from quake games which were fun but really map dependent)

we would play ut at lan parties and my friend would always whoop my rear end but I could reliably own him by getting the snot gun, getting him to chase me down a hallway and leaving a supercharged snot mine on the wall behind me

Since call of duty is based off of quake 3 does this tech show up in any noticeable way or are computers just powerful enough nowadays to brute force the rendering?

The best games are those played with friends.

You can't see, but I am nodding sagely.
