DM3? DM6? Hours spent playing that game

Just wondering if anyone remembers playing Clan Arena and 1v1s

I was trying to remember all the clans back in the day and only some come to mind.

Clans:
Clan GIB
Ruthless Bastards
Clan Unforgiven
Dyscrepency
doppelganger (.dg.)
Negative Burn (nB)
r3volution (r3v)
Dark Requiem (]DR[)
Silent Service (ss)
Silver Surfers
red abyss ([ra])
clan crossbones ([:x])
Versus (.vs.)
the Stone clan (tSc)
Clan Knightmare
on a stick/dopplestick (/oas)
Fire In The Hole (FiTH)
Evil Genius (EG)
Masters of Pummeling (MOP)
Clan Zogar (zgr!)
Deathstalkers (|ds|)
Clan Kapitol (cK.)
Reaperbots
Faerie Beans (Local Toronto clan I think)
Clan DNA
The Forsaken

Edited: More Clans
Zero Tolerance
SIK
Clan Southern Comfort (cSc|)

I remember Wombat from cs fame destroying on clan knightmare. I also played a lot with EG.Torn. I assume this was a different clan/organization than the current Evil Geniuses because I remember this being around 97 or 98(also the plural vs singular naming). I was a HPB(High Ping Bastard on a dial-up connection) on the Stone clan... I wished I had the ability to use the shaft like Torn who was a LPB(Low Ping Bastard on university connection) but I guess I held my own.

Nicknames I had: Bloodlust(wc2 inspired!),Bloody, onewing, demigod and Chronic

I played a lot of Quake (before QW came out), later QuakeWorld, but never was great at it. The people who play it these days are ridiculously good... There's things I really like about the game, but overall if I picked up a shooter now I might go for UT.

Ping really was overpowering in that game, even in QW, although you can be amazing at some things without it. I actually really enjoyed learning to compensate for ping, it's just a shame it wasn't effecting everyone equally. I really liked the CTF levels and grapple hook back in the day, and you could set up really sweet keys because switching was instant. Love the rockets of course, and the rest of the weapons are pretty so-so. I actually like doom's shotguns better, and the lightning gun is just cheezy, i'd rather see a moh style sniper. The nail guns are pretty stupid too. In fact I don't really like Quake's theme, but the multiplayer turned out awesome because the levels (especially the fan made ones) are so amazing in design, and of course the rocket launcher is just brilliant. I'd replace the nailguns with something like the flak gun, and maybe something like cs's mp5. Yeah that would be nice. I like how UT has alt attacks too.

But it's a shame a lot of those qw levels aren't seeing enough light of day, I think somem of the best deathmatch levels ever made, and I mean, dozens of them, are sitting there back in quake/qw... not to mention the original ctf...
my mojo's so dope.

haha ya! That what was wonderful about Quakeworld. The netcode improved the game so much that the ping difference didn't play as much of a penalty as in the original Quake. I actually played the original Quake as well.

I nearly forgot the Grappling Hook! That was revolutionary! I was an ID Software fanboy. Anything they released I wanted to master lol (which I did not). I remember Doom to Quakeworld... I stopped playing the Quake series after QW for Counter-strike and eventually Day of Defeat. I think you are right about the levels that were neglected. I haven't really felt a map that has made me feel as comfortable as the ones in Quakeworld.

I just remember being like 13 and wondering how some of those guys could hold up people with the lightning gun and rocket people out the dm3 window. Such timing haha it was nuts to watch.

I also remember alot of Future vs Fantasy servers, Front Line Force games (I was in a clan with Zofran who was a developer of FLF.) Poor guy passed away from a Leukemia relapse

Playing the original Quake online for many years has made every other FPS that I have ever played feel like they are terrible. This isn't because they are, per se, but they've got nothing on the original Quake.

I think the grappling hook has a lot to do with that. Grappling hooks took the skill and absolute ridiculous-ness to a whole new level--just one of the many things that allowed skill differences to have such a remarkable and unforgiving effect in Quake.

I wish original Quake servers were populated, nobody plays them anymore Quake Live just wasn't the same game...

Still the best FPS around, with easily the highest skill ceiling.

It's awesome. For anybody who is interested get the nQuake package. Unless there is some new package out there I'm not aware of? It has been a few years since I last played.

Unlike CPM or Warsow you can be punished for bunny hopping around too excessively because rockets are so powerful. Makes it very tactical like VQ3 whilst still being movement oriented. But I wish the community would move on to play on new duel maps already. I hate playing on DM4. There are some really good ones like vdm3 that should certainly see some playtime.

I remember clan High Ping haha.

Ohh I guess I remember watching some Czm games when he was still playing. He was in clan Kapitol I think... and r3v. One of the best q3 players ever.

and if we got enough players I'd be up for a game or two no doubt in nquake woot!

I played tons of QuakeWorld, Q3, CPM etc.I used to play with a lot of the ]km[ guys.

Best FPS ever.

Being from Canada used to suck because getting a ping lower than 70 was so hard. On a good day my shaft was 30%

haha Knightmare was basically the brother clan to the Stone clan. I remember so many games with the km guys. It sux cuz I can't remember anyone besides kilgore,wombat and gaijin. I can't think of anyone in the Stone clan besides orb (who i don't think could possibly be orb of sc2 cuz of age lol


I was like 13 when quakeworld was around and I am 28 now so I assume most are around the same or older

Still play it a few times every week, there's a decent number of people that still play it, most of them are in Europe though so ping still can be an issue.

The nQuake package mentioned above does have everything you need to get started w/ deathmatch (ffa, 1v1, 2v2, 4v4). However the skill ceiling can be pretty daunting as most everyone who plays now has a gotten ridiculously good at this game.

Also, best fps ever made.

QW, those were the days... played many TDM games on dm3. The feel and speed in that game was just awesome, the perfect FPS imo.

Oh yeah! I played a loooot of QW back in the day! Some friends and I started our own clan when we were in 7th grade or something, clan ]TTR[ - Time To Respawn! A few years later we won one of the DQL (Danish Quake League) seasons, I think it was in '99.

I actually started playing it a bit recently, just for fun.

Anyone remember Dag and Def's quake done extreme vids? + Show Spoiler +
Sure brings back memories!

The danish clans I remember are;
cn - chopstick ninjas
pog - protectors of the old generation (you had to be over 30 or so to join afaik)
tlw - the lone wolves

from other countries I remember euthanasia to be the biggest and best clan there was.
It's better to burn out, yeah, than fade away!

I played with RB Ruthless Bastards... DMOS (Deimos)... and later Clan Kapitol. Q1 Netquake 4v4 DM3 will always be the best fps experience.

Quakeworld introduced antilag and the physics of the game were never the same(you're not supposed to be able to jump from 1 side to the other in the Red Armor room on DM3... The movement and aim became more 'predictive' than 'reactive' if that makes sense.

I didn't play Quakeworld back in '96 (I was only 4 years old back then), but I did play QW in '01. Mainly Quake Team Fortress and Quake DM. I made some custom skins too.

Remember Clan 9. The clan that day[9] got his nick from. They were sponsored by the internet café called "9" in Stockholm. I'm not sure if day[9] got his nick from the quake players though. The internet café sponsored a lot of Starcraft players early on so that was probably where he got the nick from.
