the quake III strategy game

Quake 3, by ID software, a "first person shooter" game that became popular because of the Quake 3 Arena mode. The code of this software is open source now and there is a new version, quake 4 out. But still, a very popular game.

The problem with quake 3 is, that newbies are cannon fodder for the cracks. So, when Leobard joins a quake game he can look around a few seconds, enjoy finding a gun and is then immediatly shot. Not so with the alternative gameplay:

The Quake III strategy game.
Quake 3 strategy is a modification of the original, allowing you think about every move you make, aim when shooting, plan every move and really enjoy drinking coffee during the game. How to enjoy this? Set the server speed to 20% and the gravity to roughly 500, then you are in. No hasting for powerups anymore, no stress.

If you think that is stupid, check out the real Doom Roleplaying game:

Doom RPG
Doom RPG is a first-person turn-based role playing game set in the Doom universe. Developed specifically for your mobile device, you reprise the role of the Doom Marine made famous in the groundbreaking id Software titles Doom, Doom II, and Doom 3. Say goodbye to humdrum mobile gaming and prepare yourself for the return to Mars in a showdown with the legions of Hell!

how to do this?

taken from here:
http://www.cheatchannel.com/files/q3beta.htm

Q3a is a very fast game!,and you have to think very fast,
so If you feel the bots are playing too fast for u, there are two ways:

(1) slow down the bot thinking speed by changing "\bot_thinktime" to more
than 200. More than 500 and the bots will be very stupid even in Nightmare!

(2) Speed up your thinking speed: enable cheats (\spdevmap q3dm4), play
with \timescale , 1 is default 2 is double the time speed (0.5 is too slow)
0.7 is good to try .

-when time is slow you can avoid rockets easier and aim better with the rail gun.
so you can record a game "\record" in slow mode and play very good.
then play the recorded game "/play [ to change the field of view
/cg_thirdperson 1 to play in third person mode
also /cg_thirdpersonrange
/cg_thirdpersonangle
/record to record a game
/stoprecord to stop recording
/fraglimit
/timelimit

To get all the console commands go to:
http://www.gameaholic.com/games/quake3/

Note 1: when typing a console command press tab to see
all commands that begin with the same letter.

Note 2: The file pak0.pk3 in \baseq3 in the game directory is a zip file
with
none compression; you can open it with winzip, extract a file, edit it, then
add it and replace it with the old one with none compression......enjoy.
But be sure to make a backup.
