Having played both extensively at the lan cafe when they came out, UT was for people that couldn't hang in quake, and for them it was definitely more fun.

My high school had an one laptop per student program and the first thing installed in most of those was tge ut99 demo
The others were q3 and heavily modded q2

I don't know how they can possibly expect to make a TF2 clone and have it be popular when real actual TF2 has been out forever now and I'm sure I'm not the only one burnt out on the formula after all this time.

i believe the game will be boring and horrible for like 2 years and then be pretty drat good after tons of patches that fix everything wrong with it, as with all blizzard games

The only time before 2012 or so that I played Quake was in high school but even then I liked the quake 3 demo and warsow 1 billion times more than the pirated UT99 someone had on thumb drive even though I played UT2K4 for the first time in at least 2006 or something and spent probably 100 hours in the single player. Which hell I'll give them that the single player mode of UT2K4 is something most shooters that would otherwise just be bot matches should have.

i gotta agree w/ kazvall, quake 3's just a better game overall but UT is better for laughs and casual fun. the mutators especially make it feel like a kind of FPS smash bros

I never played past the first round since firstly I played Q3 after QL once I actually started to play quake and and it didn't have the epic team management stuff so I didn't care anyway.

I got q3 the day it was released, at the mall, so I had to wait 4 hours while my mom was at jc penny just reading the manual and muttering 'quake, win, sex, big titties win quake, mmmmm'

btw someone needs to make this. nexuiz had a really cool mario kart-like powerup system, where one of the powerups on the map gave you something random. it could be a little neat boost like a jetpack or a short period of invulnerability or it could flip on low gravity, or slow down time for everyone but you, and other cool poo poo

too bad no one played it and it was otherwise pretty mediocre

Here's a mind bending concept I'd like to share with you all. I like both games. For different reasons.

ut is good for the team modes with friends but anyone that says its a better game than quake 3 is completely mad

Warsow had some really loving good maps. I also liked the race stuff. They did a great job with that game.

I dream of the day that any game will be able to match Quake Live in the quality of its framerate optimization.

Double the characters, for one. Umm.. the maps are many times more beautiful. Each character can probably do at least one thing that is not possible in TF2. Hot girls whereas there isnt a single playable female in TF2 which is honestly just pathetic.

Hell I'm always into some hot girls, but I fear this game will be enough like TF that the complete psychopaths that play that game will flock to it. Or maybe it will have an even worse type of psychopath, like if a TF2 and a Blizzard psychopath hosed and they made a baby.

blizzard invented the genre of mmo where you have to buy the game and also pay a subscription to play it so im sure theyll make the right decision

Well they only make games to create digital marketplaces now, like Valve. I wouldn't play their games any time soon.
