Since no ones playing Q3 PoW I decided I'd start a new mod. Post your ideas for the mod here of what you might want to see in a new PoW. The idea I have right now is going to be focused on smaller maps like the original PoW, faster more competative gameplay.

Don't mind the small maps but to be totally honest here you have to balance it out. Nothing wrong with a small map with some running room. In my opinion the maps have to have both large and small area's. Nothing is more frustrating than getting stuck on a pillar or wall because the map is so tight.

I didnt say tight, I said smaller. Twin Towers, Jump, Stupefied, maps like that.

Any idea when? I'm getting ready to get a HD bike and will get rid of cable when I get it, but wanted to try it out first. |

I wouldnt go jumping to the q4 idea yet...this game could turn out to be something great, but on the flip side it could be a flop like the expectations in Doom 3.
Just because this is a continuation of the Quake series, doesnt mean the netcode will rock. Look at the Doom 3 engine's bandwidth usage, then think about what will be required by another game based on the same engine. 5 vs 5 max? lol

An idea to throw around would be semi-random teleportation upon jail release.
Jails could be larger and less dependent on simple "door" systems. You'd just be teleported to a location near to the button when it's pressed.

I don't know what Q4 will look and play like but if it is similar to Doom 3 than I'd suggest trying to make maps a little brighter and possibly create some way so that it isn't an FPS killer when playing Multi-player. I know my system isn't the best for D3 but even if it was I'd probably still be turned off with the multiplayer.

Q4 is suposed to play like Quake 3, the maps wont be dark either. How PCs will handle it no one can say till its released. I've heard they have removed some things from DOOM 3 that were some of the big online killers. I've got a few concepts for new release buttons, team logos, items, escapes. Once we have a site up for this I will outline everything on there. Im going to try and resist on posting any map concept shots as well till I get something more full looking to give ppl a better idea on what I have in mind.

Yeah, they said they put hitboxes back in like in q3 instead of that per pixel crap or whatever d3 had to fix the netcode to allow more players. They also said they changed the lighting to improve performance.

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars will use same code as Q4. So being that it is ET based the netcode should be nice since it focuses on lots ofp layers. Thats what I assume form what I've reade. As Scrotch said, it is said that it will be play like Q3
Doom 3 was never meant for MP, ID always stated that. They only focused on the engine and on the SP, MP was a bonus so they didnt dedicate much time on the netcode.

They have actually stated Q4 multiplayer will be Q3 with a face-lift. |

I had a map I did like that a few years ago...depending on what part of the jail door you escaped from, there was a teleportation area it took you. Eliminated the "killed upon exist" stuff... |

I think what he means is the team defending the jail can press the button and lock it. I believe this worked on some of the old pow maps.

was in q2jb, we took it out cuz it would make ppl trying to get in and free their team much more difficult if there was already 4 ppl waiting. if they could press the button there would be a 3-4 second delay and basically get screwed outta freeing their team.

I mean, a 2 second delay like Q2JB, not a 3-4 second one. I mean, without the jail timer, its like a version of CTF without the ability to drop the flag when you die, and have a teamate be able to pick it up. By removing the jail release delay option you remove a crucial aspect of intense close quarters combat. It was one of the most intense and fun aspects of JB and removing it a key skill and teamwork aspect of JB that was found nowhere else in quake. Now it's reserved for the once a year fireing up of Sweat's. |

How about a map that was in some aspect like alcatraz? <--- (spelled right?) I think it would be a good theme for a map considering your in and outta jail. And someone PM me with what i need to make a map. I get bored waiting to play......  |
