q3 = ownage game play, no need for a good pc, all in all a really fun game

q4 = q3 with much better graphics which make it lag

my opinion

Q4 was not ment to be multiplayer game unlike Q3.

Q4 is now a days much like vq3 but better graphics, but there are still many differents. (no direct input etc etc)

the difference between regular q3 and cpma is the same as etmain and etpro

cpma if for q3 similar to q4max for q4
i like both games but q3 is far better

the movement between cpma and regular q3 is completely different
cpma is faster blablabla

q4 is a nice game with those mods like xbattle n stuff

if they would have released quake4 like it is now it would have been better then quake3. but that "mod battle" between q4max and xbattle made q4 dieing fast

No, not both are from osp. They've worked together and I think arQon worked on both mods.

When Quake 3 was alive there was no competition between cpm and OSP all tourneys used OSP because its better.

Well I belive cpm have improve since also ! Some friends of mine played osp earlier and disliked everything that was cpm, but find it quite okej today.

Because crouch-sliding is retarded.

q3 cpm:
netcode is great whether u have 0 or 100 ping
weapons feel so nice
movement feels smooth, lots of tricks to master and very fast gameplay... but can be slowed down making the game different every time u play
no timer - adds more excitement
more fun to watch

q3 vq3:
everything q4 has + more except lacks crouch sliding which is a lovely feature and makes vq3 very slow... but is favoured by many players over cpma as its easier to learn and obviously was chosen for cpl :)

q4:
a mix of vq3 and cpm q3 with crouch sliding which is great and stops slow gameplay
but weapons feel sluggish
only fun with <20 ping where its good!
>20ping = boring
ie. basically a lan game 2 fully enjoy it (:

but saying this... if your a beginner

hardest: q3 cpm - q4 - q3 vq3 :easiest to learn in that order :)
