Everyone else Sucks at Quake.. - Page 3

I don't have a fucking clue? what do you think renders the graphics? The magical fairy code? You fucking moron. The engine determines how events in the game are displayed. It determines how all those textures are displayed and how all the surfaces are rendered and when. THE ENGINE IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT WHEN YOU PLAY. I don't have a clue? Yeah, because I haven't mapped at all, which is practically directly interfacing with the engine because you are telling it what to base what it shows the user off of. You have to be the dumbest person to argue that the engine doesn't have to do with graphics. God, read what aperson wrote. he's right, so why did you completely disregard his post? Maybe because you are an idiot.

I, however have a reasonable amount of programing experience and I've worked with OpenGL for awhile so I'd know.

The engine determines how the graphics are scaled, rendered and appeared. Christ, the engine is even what does the particle effects. Though the engine isn't the sole thing that creates the graphics, it is a VERY large portion of it.

Where's the play button? -_-

you know i never said the engine had anything to do with the graphics (but they do)...many people like to take words and twist them so they can flame...i was just making a statement that they actually use a game engine today that is 2 years old or so

Actually, Quake looks fun. Although I suck at FPS games. I'll still try it.

Anticrombie0909 · 02-8-2004, 04:57 PM

Quake is very fun. Strategy? Nahh. Teamwork? Blah. But if you're looking for a mindless, fast paced low-qual run n' gun whatever other cliche term you want to use to decribe it game, check it out...I think you can get it for like 10 bucks on Ebay.

You're fucking kidding me... Get enough skill to get into a good CTF clan and then tell me what you think.

Anticrombie0909 · 02-8-2004, 05:02 PM

Ok fine, CTF is debatable...I meant not along the lines of like, anything else that tried to inject strategy into their games. Theoretically UT2003 deathmatch could have strategy, but...I just mean there's games that acutally force you to use it, like Socom, CS, NS, etc. Quake doesn't.

**lightdarkness** · 02-8-2004, 05:08 PM

CTF IS FUN
halo owns

DM is worthless.

TDM and CTF however, require lots and lots of strategy.

makaveli121212 · 02-8-2004, 05:54 PM

team deathmatch is my favorite for most FPS games...but in quake CTF was just as fun

altairian · 02-8-2004, 05:54 PM

ok, my wording sucked in my posts. I was referring to the LOOK of the graphics. I know that the engine controls all kinds of graphical things. I was talking about the sprites, and the engine doesn't give a flying fig what the sprites are, as long as they're the proper format for the engine.

You sir are correct.. TCTF (team capture the flag) is one of the funniest things to do on that game.. played it last night with 5 other friends for about 2 hours... all about strategy and team work.. oh yea.. i still stand as the greatest halo player ever..

altairian · 02-9-2004, 09:43 AM

haha i wouldn't make that claim unless you've honestly earned the title in some big online competition or something. there's a lot of halo players out there

I'd still rather play natural selection for my dose of teamwork though... DM style games just get on my nerves after playing for a while.

i wouldn't make that comment either if i wasn't confident.. and even if someone could beat me ( which im literally not lieing about) it wouldnt be by much..
I haven't met anyone since i've known how to play the game strategically thats been able to beat me consistantly more than once in a row.. i've probably played 30 different people at it too.. so its not just my friends.. and if you goto any website with halo videos of people playing, they all suck.. on a bad day it would take me like 6-8 shots with the handgun to kill someone.. maybe missing 3 shots.. these are videos people made, so im pretty sure they didnt thrown in there worst of clips.. and there emptying out clip after clip on people.. i've watched halo tournaments (ex. G4 2002 (i think) halo world championship and those guys didn't really pose any threats, i honestly feel i would strongly stand a chance against anyone that challenged me..

altairian · 02-9-2004, 03:15 PM

why don't you compete then and prove it...

**Moogy** · 02-9-2004, 03:15 PM

I would hack you and make you lose
