Schwaltzvald Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I hear it's coming out by tomorrow as an open beta... Any body gonna try it..? Especially considering from what I've read it would be free once complete. IMO from what I've seen, its very nostalgic but seemingly without the hassle of punkbuster fucking up; updated or not... hopefully... Quote
m68030 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I've been a beta tester for a good while now. I enjoyed the ease of being able to jump into a game for a few minutes with minimal loading time. There is suppose to be 'skill based grouping' so you only play with people of similar skill, but when I was beta testing there weren't enough of us for it to work really well (i got owned a lot ).

Yeah, things will work much better once there are more people. That's precisely what it needs, so that's fantastic news it will be in open beta soon. It's lots of fun, so if you are hesitant, give it a try, it's free and it has lots of nice statistics to monitor your progress (or in my case, lack thereof). Quote
Zephyr Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 It got in on closed beta and tried it out, didn't really like it one bit. I didn't give it a huge chance, but mainly because I have Nexuiz and I like that a lot better. Try it out: free, open source: http://alientrap.org/nexuiz/ Quote
BardicKnowledge Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I enjoyed the two matches I played, but everyone else in the beta thus far has been ridiculously good at Q3, and I'm not. For that reason, I've gotten out of playing it. I'll probably give it another whirl sometime next week... Quote
lazygecko Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I played close beta a bit. But it was mostly just populated by the most hardcore of the hardcore so I could never really be competetive and enjoy it. Quote
Schwaltzvald Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 it was mostly just populated by the most hardcore of the hardcore FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUuuuuuuu THEY SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED ME ARG!! D;< I'm always on a search for a "decent" challenge as always managed to find the fun that most don't seem to. That and I've received little traffic on SF4 as of late Cmon I'm no tourney level but I like a good fight once in a while; I don't even know how to do supers or set ups properly yet ...

EdgeCrusher Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I played it for about a week. It was fun unless you got on one of the many instagib games, which was just railfest instagib spawn kills. Not fun at all. Quote
Meeting_Gman Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 It seemed like a rare opportunity though, getting to play against so many others who are higher up there then I could ever hope to be. I regret not being able to play it more in the closed beta stage. Played a duel one day and got into a conversation about how getting older is affecting our gameplay, heh, that was a pleasant conversation. Quote
Brycepops Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I bet you Ganemi is playing right now. Quote
anosou Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Q3 is the only competative FPS I've ever played and this alone make me want to play. Sign up in progress for great justice! also, free gaming by experienced developers? you know it's cool. Quote
Dhsu Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Q3 is the only competative FPS I've ever played Because it was the only competitive FPS on Mac? I kid, I guess you guys had Marathon too. 28624 in the queue, wheeee... Quote
