Raven

I'm a full time (8 hour a day) Quake 3 player.
And I cant help thinking you'll lose strafe jumping in Quake 4.
The one and only reason millions of people still play Quake 3 and NOT ut2k3 or some other crap game is cause of the ability to strafe... Decide wether to speed up or not... Having something extra to do while moving from one place to another...
Also the ability to chance EVERYTHING... picmip - enemymodel (osp mostly)

Now I dont say I know more of making games then you people... but it's just a suggestion from my point.
My knees start shaking and my head turns red just thinking about the possibility of losing strafejumping...
PLEASE... I beg you... Me and thousands of other quakers would give their LEGS for strafejumping...

As for me... I pray to the Quake God he brings this to a great end and gives us Quakers all a great game to enjoy for many more years

Raven I thank your for even trying to give us a possibility to not eat and sleep for 24 hours while sitting 3 inches from our screen with eyes that make basketballs look like nothing

Good Luck

Personally, before making any more requests on Quake IV, I'd like to know just... WTF RAVEN'S BEEN DOING ON IT FOR THE PAST YEAR!!! Suddenly they've done 60% of Jedi Academy? Where'd thát come from, where's Quake IV!?  

It's called having more than one team...

I'm under the impression that strafe jumping is a physics bug. Why do a programmer intentionally leave a bug in? If you need bug exploitation to make a game fun then it must be a very basic game. I'm sure Raven will make an interesting and fun game that holds up to the test of time, with complex features for hardcore players. They don't need to intentionally add stupid physics just to please fans of a previous game. People who want strafe jumping should be able to add the code with a Mod, just like some Mods have done for SoF2.

(The skill in an action FPS is in the shooting, and the gamers reactions. If they want a game that requires skill and practice they should make the shooting more complex. None of the spammy, random, recoiless shooting of normal action FPS.)

I actually didn't learn strafe jumping until Q3-Team Arena came out... thats when things really changed and I went from a "meh" player to a very competitive player. I also would really like to see this implemented in Quake 4. I also liked how they kept the strafe jump in the Urban Terror mod for Quake 3, I found it was one of the several things that made Urban Terror a better game than SoF2.

The game is going to be more single player focused than Q3.  It will still have multiplayer elements but dont expect the same game as Q3.

This happened on the UT forums too, any time anything was changed they went insane, basically all they wanted was UT with better graphics.  ITS A DIFFERENT GAME!  It will be different and many of the features will be different.  We just have to wait and bask in its glory on release.

Strafejumping was a bug in Q2... but when ID noticed players liked it... they did it in Q3 on purpose...
As for the single player based thing... I dont care... single player games can still be fun multiplayer
