A Game Theory..

Watch this

AC is more Quake 3 type of game...

I don't think AC is particularly like Quake 3. The vid you linked is of Quake Live btw (i didn't watch the whole vid but the first few mins of quake footage is), rapha is a well known QL player (he's competing at quakecon next month) and I could be wrong but I believe he never played quake 4 or quake 3. He certainly isn't known for his achievements in any of those games anyway.

If you want a video that showcases some frags in quake that are not just from public ffa games, I would suggest you watch this. Also I would suggest this as a nice montage of frags by different high level quake players.


Now to address the other comments.

the only difference between CoD and quake is that in quake you can run faster plus you can't scope

You actually run slower than in CoD, what makes you "run faster" is strafe jumping. Also idk if this counts but you can zoom with every weapon and that's like a scope, except without the distraction of one. I bet you've never even played quake lul

He got loads of frags in quake and the amount of bullets it took was miniscule. AC is not like that.

In the video that ofir640 linked, the guy was using an MG, which is the weakest gun in the game. It does 5 damage per bullet and has spread and a relatively low rate of fire. So it would have taken about 20 bullets to kill him, assuming he had no green, yellow or red armour (where they were on that part of the map (dm6/campgrounds by the lg) is very close to the yellow armour by the pillars). a YA will give 50 extra armour and also absorbs 66% of damage received. I'm too lazy to do the maths but it is definitely not "a few bullets to kill a guy" in quake.
Even the lightning gun (the blue beam gun) does 7 damage per cell, although it does fire 20 cells per second.

Its fairly easy to get loads of kills in AC

Maybe you are just bad and thats why you think it sucks?

Exactly. I've had 130 kills in a pub before and I remember I got 99 kills in a 3v3 inter on ac_gothic (hope I still have the screen - EDIT: found it). The best quake players in the world would not get 99 kills in a 3v3 ctf game, and there is even a quad damage pickups on most ctf maps. And ffa games usually have a kill limit of 50 before the round ends. There is a ridiculously huge difference between fragging in both games. I don't know why this comparison was ever brought up.

Also, everything Orynge said.
killerjoe it's fine for you to have an opinion but don't post about things if you're clueless (srsly) about them.
