haha

Looks like the guy at the end is the only one who ever fired a gun before...

On topic, another thing that bothers me is the weapon drawing is messed up. I recall someone here made a fix for it at one point...

[Grim Warlock]

The Rocket Launcher in Quake 1 looked better than the one in Quake 3, they're similar but the one in Quake 3 looks retarded. And the Lightning Gun is similar to the one in Quake 1 as well, except it looks ugly!

[DASl-l]

Things I hate:

1. original quake did not let you look up or down with the mouse without holding a key, that is until somebody told me to type in the console +mlook but I had to do that everytime I entered the game, so then I made config.cfg a read-only file (I played quake using winquake) But in the end +mlook should be in the options menu from the start.
2. next weapon button but no previous weapon button (in original quake that is)
3. Rocket launcher explosive radius is way too big (bigger than a grenade...don't they do the same amount of damage...AND use the same ammo!!), I'm always running away from monsters not because Im scared of em but because I don't want to hurt myself everytime I fire a *%&$#! rocket. (still my favorite weapon because it's ammo efficient and I can rocket jump)


Things that other people hate that I have no problem with:

1. Crouching - if crouching was available...I would not use it, because there is never a time in the game that crouching is needed because of how the levels are designed.
2. Nailgun - it's great for weaker monsters because for every miss fire with the Super-Nailgun is the equivalent of 2 miss fires with the Nailgun, you actually save ammo if you use the normal nailgun more often. I always run out of nails but never shells or rockets, don't ask me why.

no, I understood I was just trying to be funny...trying being the operative word lol

[Grim Warlock]

You misunderstood me, most weapons have a tip on the end to help you aim, to use it you usually center it.

[bFeared]

You center it in your view he means not on your body.
Who the fuck puts a gun in the center of their body? Nobody that's who.

[osjclatchford]

...You do need to center weapons in real life for aim, like a shotgun or pistol.

er? what?
No offence but, I assume you don't hunt/shoot much.
If you use your shotgun with the stock in the middle of your guts, those guts are in trouble when you pull that trigger my friend...

I tend to shoulder my weapon and tilt my head everso slightly to look down the sight when I fire.
Likewise my pistol is generaly in my right hand with my left hand for support.

LOL

[Grim Warlock]

I heard Wirehead Studios is making a GA update, a big one. I liked GA, good mod. You do need to center weapons in real life for aim, like a shotgun or pistol.

[osjclatchford]

thats interesting, I never knew about that command!
still I've been playing a lot more of generations arena (as opposed to q3 'vanilla') lately, most of the centring and 'oldskoolness' is already implemented. I wish wirehead would finish that soon, still I digress,
the centred weapons always tickled me since Wolf3D first came out! as kids my buds and I used to go hunting and deliberatly try to hold our guns like that to see if it was even possible to shoot like that, guess what?

Its not...

[Grim Warlock]

Yeah, the weapon in the center was awesome, later games had it to the right or left to be more realistic. You can't do it in Quake 2 or 3 though, in Quake 3 there's gunx, guny and gunz but you can only put one particular weapon in the center using those commands, if you switch to another weapon it won't be in the exact center.

[Patton]

you didnt like the weapon positions?! That was classic quake baby. Weapons front and center like a strap-on. It took me forever to get use to all the games that came later with weapon positioning on the left or right. I was like wtf is this? I hold my weapons in my stomach/crotch area regardless of their kickback.

ha ha ha

[osjclatchford]

"heut!, heut!"

[Grim Warlock]

Yeah, now I remember. I like the laser sounds, they aren't annoying. And the jump sound was awesome!
