Geocomp4 "Quake3 lives" Contest Poll

(Infernis) #1

Would you guys be interested in a new Q3 contest to prove that it still lives?

As I mentioned earlier, we imported LevelSource so it’s content wouldn’t go to waste. Now LevelSource is mostly known for it’s cool contest and especially the very successfull Geocomp3 contest held there.

As a token of appreciation to Redfella for giving us his content we would like to hold a new Geocomp contest. Ofcourse all in style of the original ones. More info on that can be found here.

So who would be in for some hommage to good old Quake 3?

I’d redesign one of my old unreleased maps for it if I had the time… But I haven’t.
And I don’t know if there are still lots of retro-mappers around. :stuck_out_tongue:

Still want to say: good idea and good luck with it. :drink:

Q3 mapping is still very much alive on the overdrivepc.com forums in the tricking section, there’s maps released on there for defrag almost daily… and plenty of competitions to boot. And there’s certainly no shortage here http://defrag.own-age.com/maps/

Probably my fave (and hardest map to complete) is qsnrun. From what i’ve read, 11028 Brushes and 351 entities. Not for the faint hearted…

Indeed DarkAngel, It’s just a shame that some people on Opc forums are so unbelievably arrogant. Among the mass of excellent maps on offer there a few old gems come to mind, particularly LicktorR’s maps.

I don’t think a Quake3 Lives contest is needed to prove that the game still lives though. You would only need the player & server statistics. Of course the competition would be fun anyway :slight_smile:

Agreed, seems heads have swelled to an oversized state on there and it’s not the most friendly place to be at times. Also agree about Licktors maps, some are simple in design but so very very playable, usually find myself saying “just one more go”.
