Quake3 is TOO pretty?!? -- 8:22 pm CST, Update by The Master

Okay, this just blows my mind. Read this article on Quake3, and the "split" in the Quake community over it's look compared to QW/Q2. Now, don't get me wrong here, but if id made Q3, well, Q2, what would the point really be?

The reality is Q3 is designed to be a fast shoot-that-other-guy game. Things are bright and colorful-why? Because the human eye easily and rapidly deals with those kinds of objects. If everything blended together you'd have the same idiocy like QW where a dude with a brown skin can't been seen unless you're on top of him. And WHY would you want a Q2 deathmatch game? Personally I thought Q2 SUCKED multiplayer. Too slow. Q3 is just right :-) If you want QW or Q2-PLAY them. Don't buy Q3. I don't care. And neither will id in the long run.

Ya know-I never really took up Q2 deathmatch. Mainly because of zbot, but also because I like a fast game. I still play QuakeWorld Requiem (see the requiem page here) but I LOVE Q3. Q3 is finally a fast enough game to make me switch.
