I learnt how to straffe jump by watching Fatal1ty demos and just seeing what he does, what angles he takes off etc... it takes time. I practiced the rocket to rail jump on pro-q3dm6 for about 30 minutes a night for weeks till I could do it 90% of the time. After making that jump consistently, you kn...

He said (Romero) that CY2A was one of his favourite maps. I remember playing on that map for months back in 97. There's a place on one of the towers (the RL tower I think) with a computer screen that says "tom?"... a reference to Tom Hall always camping the RL when he played that map with ...

keep QIII the weapon of choice and Fatal1ty can never win any more money. :icon26:

Avoid playing me if you want to live.

Learn the maps until you can walk backwards through them, and think about the space around you. The smaller the map becomes in your mind, the faster you can create a tactic.

He made me stop playing quakeworld. Back in 1997-1998 I got wireplay to play online (for about 5p/minute!). I was undefeated for about 3 months then I met Sujoy on DM4 when he was in clan DC. He beat me consistently about 40-0 and showed me how to play quake. Now he's planning on making a comeback i...

When Doom 3 came out there was nothing like it at all in terms of looks or engine. The fact that the alpha was leaked let many people in on it's secrets over a year before the game came out. For an engine from 2000-2001 it was fucking awesome. Carmack is untouchable, everone copied of him and still ...

Excellent read. Nice one :icon31:

Ha I was 12 when it came out but didn't see it until I was 14. It blew me away, but the day after I saw Doom (shortly after it's initial release). A month later I had a 486. :icon31:
