jump and laser sounds

You don't like the jump sound!!?
but it's classic.

[Disco]

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.

Axe is puny. In most other games, your melee is really nasty (the gauntlet in Quake 3 is...what, 2 hit kill?)

[Grim Warlock]

When was there ever a laser sound in Quake?

[foq]

Ever since the Enforcers has laser guns that fired lasers and made laser sounds.

[Grim Warlock]

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

"heut!, heut!"

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.

[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]

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.

...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

[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.

[Grim Warlock]

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