A reason to give Quake 3 another chance. WFA

I still have yet to give it a first chance! Still, most PuF's have told me it's worth it, so I'll probably grab Q3 and give it a shot in the next day or two. WFA definitely sounds like my kind of CTF.

WFA looks kewl, but I'll grab it a few betas down the road.

It does put proper CTF back into Q3 though, and people are raving about it left, right and centre.

WFA is the only reason I still have Q3 installed. It takes a lot of getting used to but it plays great. The only problem I have with it is that it is freakin´ 64MB... if youre on a 56k it takes about 4 hours to download!


56K is the only way to play! (NOT)

Q3's out of the box CTF sucks, thanks for the info sapphire ill go check it out now.

Hey guys I am a little slow here. I bought Q3 and like many stopped playing, because of, well no need to tell you why. Could someone explain a little more about what this WFA is. Is it just a patch, or is it a different "game pack". Just wondering, sounds interesting. Thanx!

Bigspike as in Khuda's Bigspike? Welcome, man!

Khuda?? I am sure I wish, but you lost me on this one. Just BigSpike|MyU here. I hope I am still welcome though. Is that a clan or something, don't tell me I am using someone elses name

Thanks alot for all your help Sapphire Nights. I will definitely check that out!

Well i downloaded that mod, grapped Q3A again, installed it.
Booted Q3A, got frustrated again, with the clumsy way to setup WFa keybinding(c'mon internet page cut & paste for edditing cfg files)

Then i started WFa, played it against bot, and online. Tried it for a hour or three, and came to the conclusion, Q3A even with WFa is better as the original Q3 CTF, but still its Q3A man it even took me 20minutes to figure out how i could score a point with my flag, i had the enemy flag, runned over our own flag over and over, without been able to score.

The shotgun was useless in Q3A, but this new one is even more tamed down. The weapons available are utterly useless (f*ck*n handgrenades with 10sec delay !?! whats the use of THAT)
And maybe because its an beta, but in the match i had to get killed, because when my guns where empty, i never could find ANY ammo, only armor and health.

I know that Q3A lovers will dissagree, but i think most UT CTFer will feel the same here.
Its an DM with CTF goals and classes.

So WFa, again won't get me to play Q3A, onlything i have everytime i play/see Q3a is that i am impressed with the graphics and speed of the engine, compared to that UT is an old ugly game, but still compared to gameplay, UT is far more superiour, even without WF for UT

Yeah that mod is good ,one thing I can't understand is why so many people are down on Q3A .I mean it doesn't have to be the whole world in a box to be good (its not expensive to buy) sure it has its faults ,as does UT ,but its a brilliant deathmatch game .Teamplay is where UT flogs q3 badly ,expecially ctf ,which in UT as we all know is awesome .I play both games and love them both ,q3 for the more accuracy required weaponry and ferocious deathmatch intensity ,UT for the stunningly brilliant level design and outstanding teamplay games .Both games are brilliant in their own ways ,cheers

Er... why get Q3 just for Weapons Factory, when Unreal Fortress and Weapons Factory UT are coming out? If I made a great mod for Mortyr, would everyone get it?


If anyone discovers what the Universe is for, and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable.

Why do people buy Half-Life just for Counter Strike?

It's all a question of preference.



Just chill out!

I've said all along that I bought Q3 for the mods and not the actual game (DM just isn't my thing), if you really think about it Q2 was pretty mediocre but the mod community made it great.

I have Quake 3, but I am definitely very disenchanted by it. Mods are too confusing to add, and very often don't work like you want them to. I haven't played Q3 much since I got it (which was also the same day I got UT), and until I get a better computer (it's good enough now...), I probably won't play it much. The fact of the matter is the U-engine is a much better engine than the Quake engine, and UT certainly proved that.
