shitty graphics shitty ai shitty maps i think its silly to have 1v1 rts (ignore all the pros that do it and such) (just for the record I actually LOVE bw, just trying to sound like OP) also they one thing op mentions often is the graphics, im sorry but graphics DO NOT make the game better, I'm sick of the xbox generation (12-16 years old now) saying that graphics actually matter...back when i started gaming you had dots for your character and if you were lucky your enemy actually looked like what it was supposed to be, get over graphics and grow up | ||

Those dots looked like what they were supposed to be back then and they still do now. ![[image loading]](http://0101.sk/stare-hry/images/firef.gif) This was the first strategy game I played. | ||

No arguments, no new point of view, not funny, nothing. You just vomited a random post full of hate and disrespect against people trying hard to preserve what they love. Why? Is this a concealed cry for help? | ||

QFT...until you try playing quake, you don't realize a) how freaking amazing they are at aiming and b) how hard it is to keep track of timings, knowing the map, knowing where your opponent might be... it's really similar to bw to be honest, in terms of how difficult the game is. seeing pro's hit that ridiculous rail gives me similar nerd chills to an epic reaver hit, or jangbi storms (maybe jangbi storms is pushing it a bit :p) | ||

Like classical music, although i dont listen to it everyday and there are modern genres i listen to more, i think its important for culture not to loose those old gems. | ||

Dreamhack/mlg(and since when did mlg even have quake?) are not exclusively sc2 tournaments. Quake has just as much right to be on the mainstage as sc2, though I do agree that the way they scheduled quake as a half time show is pretty dumb. I don't like it when there's sc2 between my quake and my sf4. You don't have to watch the games you don't like. Just leave the stream on so you can see when sc2 is back and go do something else. You strike me as someone who just jumps on the next big thing, as opposed to someone who is genuinely passionate about the game they play/watch. If you truly were passionate about your game, then you would understand that its not always about having a big crowd cheering for your game. If you are truly passionate about your game, you try to share that passion and educate people on what you do. Have respect for that, at least. As long as there are 2 people willing to play some quake, it will live on. | ||

Dm4 was the first competitive fps map I played and was a map I'll never forget, the mega was in such a perfect position... You go for it, and youre basically dead... Good times. practicing on frogbot only to dialup to some euro server with 400 ping and still stay on par with KD, oh the memories :D Kids these days and their halos and xbox lives, no idea what it was like "back in the day" | ||

The thing about Quake is (i played a bit Quake 3, never really serious but i could handle a nightmare bot in a 1on1 on a map witheout rails. When playing against a truly good friend the score most of the time looked like 10 to -5  ).Even whiteout being able to Rocket jump or even try half the stuff the guys in these Vids do I can see that it's WTFAMAZAING what they do. I get none of that when i watch Halo or Whateverbullshitnewsschoolshooter... There just is none of all this in them, they are just slow.. slow... slow. | ||
