The only way this game has a chance for me to play it beyond the single player mode...

THREEWAVE CTF WITH THE OFFHAND GRAP!!!

The jump pads in Q3 were kinda fun at times, but nothing compared to teh grap. I think people who mastered the grap like I did saw the jump pads as a dumbed down concept. A cartoony version of something which required great skill to master.

The jump pads were the beginning of the end for FPS games which actually required skill. I remember talking to lots of gamers back then who refused to play Quake2 because they would be dead every 15 seconds. They were never able to learn the game...

I mean seriously, those of you who played DIE FUCKING HARD Quake1 and Quake2 CTF, remember how insanely skilled you could get with it. For example...

1) See enemy coming.
2) run toward enemy while simultaneously throwing your grap at a point in the opposite direction.
3) start raining rockets at them, while being yanked backwards by teh grap.
4) watch enemy die.

That was just one of the simpler tricks, but it worked more than well.

As a side note, some of you know from posts in here that I was a full on Tribes 1/2 player. Quake 1 and 2 are directly responsible for my loving the jetpack in Tribes so much. The grappling hook gave us that extra dimension in which to do battle, just like the packs in tribes.

Oh, and Q4 better have rocket jumping too.

He cut the possum's face off then cut around the eye socket. In the center of the belt buckle, where the possum's eye would be, he has placed a small piece of wood from his old '52 Ford's home made railroad tie bumper. Damn, he misses that truck.
