hmm never played Quake Drake..... But since you said that im goin to go rent it....what system is it on....I pwn in BF2 and PS but im guessing it will be more towards the game quake and Unreal Tournament.

[Drake]

Wait, what system is it on? Quake 1 - Quake 4 have all been on PC. Picking up Quake is very difficult if you have never played it before, because those who play Quake have a verrrry high skill level (for the most part), and whilst this seems like a rather subjective statement, you can ask anyone who has tried to pickup 1v1 or 4v4 quake action and ask them how frustrating it is.

BF2 and Planetside are good games and I have respect for them because of just that. However, if set in an arena, a Quake player versus a BF2 player, the Quake player would undoubtedly win, as Quake is geared much more towards incredibly fast, incredibly accurate and incredibly smart play, where the pressure is more on the individual's skills and not on relying on a teammates.

Moreover, this is why there is the notion of "A Quake player can play Counter Strike, but a Counter Strike player cannot play Quake." Whilst a Quake player has the individual skills necessary to move to a team based game that requires arguably less aim skills (as seen by some more known players such as destrukt, fatal1ty, etc.) than for a Counter Strike player who is used to teamplay and once again arguably less aim skill to move to a very aim/individual oriented game.

This is why Webzen often says "Well...Planetside is an FPS, but it isn't a real fps," and they refer to it as a "slower, militaristic shooter" rather than a ball breaking insanely high learning curve game such as their suggested "Quake and Unreal Tournament" which they seem to be aiming for.

However, I definately suggest you pick it up and give it a whirl, Quake 3 or Quake 4, and at least taste what it is like if not play it for a while, I guarantee you that it will give you an edge on any other FPS you play.

KK man thanx for teh info although I play at a fast paced speed when I play BF2 i realize the it is mostly team oriented and I need to learn to play solo easier.... I will pick this up and probably rent UT from Blockbuster or somtin....once again thanx for info.

[Drake]

Yea pick up UT first... get some onslaught games going... that'll give you more space to learn and pick your engagements. Then after you pick up the basics, get into deathmatch play, and then transition into Q4.

[Drake]

Thinking back I agree with Kard - a gameplay type such as onslaught would really help ease you into the deathmatch genre. As he said, learning to pick your fights and start to develop a much more twitch/flick aiming style will benefit you before taking upon learning a strict 1v1 deathmatch scenario. The benefit also comes in the fact that when you are in a 1v1 deathmatch game, and playing a good opponent, you often CAN'T pick your fights if you don't really have a great grasp on the game. It sounds a bit simple on paper, but in practice it is incredibly complex.

Q4 is much easier and slower than UT in every way. Why would someone play UT than go onto Quake? If anything it should be Quake than UT.

like i said... onslaught is an easier transition into the world of DM's.

[Drake]

LimpJedi, I seriously beg to differ, as I believe nearly anyone else would.
