NOT TO DO ONLINE

I would suggest you read
this if you are new to
online gaming in general,
if you are looking for
some serious technical
advise, I would go to
this site - http://www.weenie.com,
this is an
excellent source of quake
technical
-
BEFORE
YOU GET ONLINE
Choose
a server with a ping lower than 400ms
as
anything above this is virtually unplayable.
Ping
is the speed that the server responds
to
your PC.
-
Choose
a server with a few players on it,
i
find 1 on 1 boring as you spend most of
your
time running around finding each other to
have
a five second rocket battle.
-
Practice
with a bot like the reaper bot, this
mod
virtually replicates the online
environment

THINGS
TO DO WHEN ONLINE
Make
sure you know your way around the maps,
like
where the best weapons are or health and
ammo
etc, this will make your life alot easier
-
Listen
out for sounds around you like doors
opening,
or explosions, or gun fire etc etc. this
will
help you to find or evade an opponent
-
If
someone is firing at you keep moving it makes
there
life much more difficult and also prolongs
yours
-
If
someone is shooting at you with a rocket DO
NOT
back into a wall as it makes you and
easy
target, because if they miss the shockwave
will
get you
-
If
someone is shooting at you with a rocket
get
close to them the shockwave will probably
kill
them to.
-
Pick
up every packback you see, as these might
have
some nice weapons in them.
-
Pick
up everything you see. and remember
the
spawn points
-
Blast
the hell out of everything you see move
-
Some
players say that you should learn to play
quake
with the mouse as it makes things easier,
this
is one that you will have to decide for
yourself
because i personnally prefer to
play
with the keyboard, but each to his own
-
THINGS
NOT TO DO WHEN ONLINE
-
Keep
moving, dont camp/cherrypick (stay in the
same
spot and kill people as they come through)
because
this bugs the hell out of other players.
-
Message
flood (sending the same message loads
of
times) this also bugs the hell out of people.
-
Use
the server you are on as a chat room, if you
want
to chat use Mirc.
