Best quake iii arena maps for 3v3 mod#

IMO it could be done a little more closely to the old style of level flow from the original quake and doom. Just make a giant freaking world and let me progress how and when I want to. Quake 4 did try to follow a bit more in Valves concept of game play and flow but they apparently missed the point that even Valve has to work on its game play formula a little more right? lol.įirst person shooters need to go away from the Half Life formula because it is getting too predictable. Go down a hallway with your vehicle while fighting grunts, and shooting rockets at flying bug copters. Go into a room and find grunts attacking you while on your vehicle.ģ. Go down a hallway and introduce a vehicleĢ. Go down a hallway with antlions, while fighting grunts, and shooting rockets at flying bug copters. Go into a room and find grunts attacking antlionsģ. Go down a hallway and introduce antlionsĢ. Go down a hallway with teammates, while fighting grunts, and walkers. Go into a room and find grunts attacking teammatesģ. Go down a hallway and introduce teammatesĢ. Go down a hallway fighting Zombies, turrets, and antlions. Go into a room and find turrets attacking Zombiesģ. Go down a hallway and introduce ZombiesĢ. Fall down into a hole into a cave and do a puzzle.ġ. Go down a hallway fighting head crabs, grunts, and apache helicopter. Go into a room and find grunts attack head crabsģ. Go down a hallway and introduce head crabsĢ. Rinse repeat for all 20 hours of the game ><.ġ. Never have more than 3 things happen at one time. Each new area introduce another new element until you are up to 3 at once then start over with a lull sequence where its a puzzle or nothing happens at all. with a special scripted event becomes tedious and boring for even the average fan of first person shooters.Īll half life 2 did was literally. TBH the linear Half Life style of story telling only tends to fall apart when things become too complex. however, I think that the days of the current single player model are coming to an end and need a new twist to them.Ĭurrent half life style linear path is great for basic story telling and the model itself is pretty simple. Quake 4 does have a lot of verity and potential for good single player sequences. I enjoy working on the single player stuff a lot though. Its almost like the only reason for producing maps for this engine is for one's portfolio.

The map plays well enough with the SABot mod I tested it with. I understand that this issue is fixed in Q4Max, but I wanted the level to load normally in Q4. I have not yet added an addon file to the pak because custom CTF levels refuse to load in version 1.3. The map was compiled using Q4 1.3 and most probably will not run on older versions. Normalmaps were rendered with Crazybump, handmade in photoshop/gimp or from models using Quake 4. Models were created from scratch using Blender3D, and textures based on photosourced images or made from the ground up in photoshop. The broken ceiling and light panels are Lunaran's work from Stombine, but all the other assets, both textures and models, are my own(except for a couple of id decals). My original idea was to build a level set in decaying industrial setting. The theme comes very much from spending too much time surfing around sites like 'abandoned places'. This is a small (1v1, 2v2, or at a push 3v3)CTF level for Q4.
