Quakeworld MUST READ

(gndoc) #1

Dear Gamers,
I would like to welcome you to give a game called quakeworld a try. I am part of a moderate North American Scene
of around 50 quakeworld players. In europe this game has a much larger scene, upwards of 400. The last big 1on1 tournament
had over 270 signups! The latest 4on4 league has 35 clans participating! This is quite a large scene internationally.
This game is fast, intense, and definitely for people who enjoy fragging. It is an oldie, but still a goodie. Many scenes
from netquake, quake2, quake3, quake4, and so on are small and mediocre. If these scenes combined, there would be much
more action and competition for ALL of us. The attraction to quakeworld above all other games is the physics of the client.
Anyone who plays this game is instantly hooked. The scene in general is active, so I would like to invite anyone and everyone
to consolidate into quakeworld. You may love the game you play, but you will love quakeworld even more. Many players from different
games have come and gone. But there is still a large group of people that play, and we would like it to grow even more.
If you would like to join our community and give this game a try, there are a few easy instructions to get going.

Visit http://www.quakeworld.nu and download “NQUAKE” which is the full quakeworld install.
Then goto http://q1dm.site11.com/q1paks.zip and download the map paks needed. Simply Extract these into c:\quake\id1.
For servers visit http://www.quakeservers.net or download “Qtracker”.
You can also visit us on IRC at irc.quakenet.org #qwrookie or #oclan.

Why do you need screenshots of quake 1?

Still have it installed after all of these years. I play Quake Arena and Team Fortress from time to time with my friends. So yeah, every real FPS player who hasn’t catched the times of QuakeWorld must try it now. Do eet nao! :slight_smile:

Why don’t you get your Quake World friends to come over to ET:QW.

(Ashog) #6

Because quakeworld comp >> ETQW comp

I’m really interested in re-visiting this, which was by far my favourite game from back in the day, but there seems to be an error with the zip file that contains the Pak files. I get this warning when i try to open and extract :

Unexpected end of archive

I tried downloading quake Pak files elsewhere but I can’t join any servers through the browser with those ones as they seem to have different versions of the maps.

Not played QW for an age, might give it another blast :slight_smile: Used to be in the Q2 scene around 10 yrs ago when TFA was a force to be reckoned with :smiley:

I didn’t mention anything about comp in my reply. So… what you on about?

(needforWeed) #10

Why don’t you move on to Quake Live?

(Ashog) #11

Nope. The retexture projects for quakeworld have looong taken care of that. QW looks now more than enough good for deathmatch. Check yourself the screenies for items: http://gfx.quakeworld.nu/browse/maps/
