lol, grenade launcher...
well there already are medals for achievements and kill/death ranking as well as being able to challenge players of your level of experience based of the k/d ratio. and why woulnt they want to make it modable? .. its not like they lose anything by it, and probobly some more ppl would join because of it and so that it woulnt interferee with the rankings and so on they could make some kind of dedicated server where mods would be allowed
Reputation: 30well, so far they have duel, ffa, tdm, ca, instagib and ctf.
unlockable things won't work as everyone uses forcemodel to make enemies easier to hear/spot. having levels would not be good as people would have an advantage over others. you want something more competitive than quake? is that possible? mainly this is just to get new people and older people back into quake.
Reputation: 11you're missing the entire point of what they did.
if you want to mod Q3A then go reinstall Q3A and play on their mod servers.
yes, there's medals pertaining to k/d ratio, but these are things that are not visually represented during gameplay and have no effect on the system. having to load mods and new player models would be taxing because they probably wouldn't be optimized (especially community mods).
this is supposed to be as simple as simple gets: Q3A in your browser. Bing-bang-boom. The actual game, software and all, still exists and there are still servers open for it. What the hell would be the point in reinventing the wheel? It's clear the developers did this for shits and giggles and are proud of themselves for being able to do it. They already have a game with a huge mod community.
Don't get me wrong, down the road there may be all kinds of new things in QLive. But, c'mon, this is the first open beta of the game. You want mods and unlockables and all sorts of extras? Get real, bud.
