Happy 15th Birthday Quake 3!

[saturn]

I remember playing the Q3 demo on my uni T3 server with 3 ping in december 1999. The deathmatch server was filled with so many players getting frantical. Got me hooked and the rest is history. Playing instagib on CC Torment's server in California with 500+ ping was quite different at home (56k6 modem), but still lotsa fun.

I still miss playing Rocket Arena at times

Yes, read about this the other day so Happy 15th Birthday Quake 3.

[vesp]

15 years... what is it about milestones that make ppl nostalgic...?
Back in the day when a hashtag was an IRC channel prefix

I still have my original Q3A folder that has been copied across multiple windows installs and new PCs, complete with mods, various configs and multiple .exes for different point releases.
And a folder of screenies that I occasionally flick through

I occasionally miss it and fire up Qlive, but the players are not the same.

Make sure to play some Ragnarok.

is that yours? i actually did, earlier today, pretty neat map

one suggestion though: put the quad in the one-exit room instead of the RG

[mrd]

I remember when q3test came out, I think late November '99? Fun shit. I joined this hellhole of a forum shortly after under a different nick. I thought I would be sick of dm17 by the time the full game came out but nope...

[Eraser]

q3test was like half a year before the release of Q3.

[MKJ]

Yup, I remember spending the summer playing q3test when it was still exclusive for mac, while I should have in fact been working.

[Eraser]

I looked it up. It was first released in April 1999.

[Κracus]

I remember getting the demo in Nov 1999. Signed up on this forum in Dec 99. Great game honestly, I can't say I've ever come across another game I've sunk so much time into except maybe Burnout Revenge.

[seremtan]

don't forget 'trolling Q3W like a legend in your own mind every day'

[scared?]

Dueling on q2 edge was the best... U mad?...

[shaft]

oh man, The Edge was good. Tokay's Towers was awesome too.

[scared?]

Remember I got dual ISDN when quake 2 came out. Everyone was mad from then on out... ...
