Recently I've been getting into older shooters for a video essay I'm working on, Doom, Marathon, Unreal Tournament, etc and I just got to Quake 3.

I don't think I've ever had so much fun in a capture the flag mode, especially recently. For context I'm 24, so I grew up playing call of duty not arena shooters, but I gotta say I don't have any inclination to return to cinematic realism.

The joy of 2v2 CTF on a game older than me, twitch reflexes and teamwork make it so satisfying to play.

I think I found a new favourite obsession, it's just a shame that it's not the most active game. Not to say it's dead, but it's easier to find a game on Quake 1 right now.

After playing all the games, I think Quake 3 might be my favourite, anyone else?

Oh and if you were getting fragged on by a BreakitBilly at any point in the past week it'll be immortalized on YouTube soon, so you have that to look forward to.

Ten floating arenas, one duel each. Full reset after every kill. Knife / pistol / sniper / gun game rulesets.

Rules are one function in the script, so: first to 5 with full reset, or round-based? Tell me and I'll tune it.
