ra3 was awesome back in the day, that said i also was a noob playing on a wireless mouse back then.

At my local cybercaff, which was predominantly UT99/CS, the only way to get UT players to play quake was with RA3. And it was fun as fuck!

Ra1 through ra3.

Best times.

QL

Okay times.

what was the big difference between ra3 and normal q3? just youtube'd it, looks pretty much exactly the same.

Clan Arena.

Ra3 was just a mod for Q3 that featured 'clan arena' style gameplay. It had its own maps and a slightly different netcode/feel, that's it pretty much.

also it had ingame music player, with awesome music and clan arena mods like red rover, practise mode, clasic rocekt arena

ra3 had much childish behaviour, nick faking, disconnect/join scripts, and shouts like "bridge, bridge, bridge".

there was a 1 year hype to play ra3 maps with cpma instead of ra3. via clanbase league. dont remember the year. after that league players went back to ra3.

start armor was different in eu/us. eu servers had more, cant remember the number.

at the end of q3 (2005/2006 or so) clanarena was the populatest mod, fast rounds.

RA3 was great.

So good that it still hurts!

Q2 tdm / ctf! <3

when I think of RA3 I think of 1v1 and 2v2 on thunderstruck with 40-50% LG on 8 damage per hit with 100/100 health :)

i think of it too but not the value you said :)

Rocket Arena in Q1/Q2 was popular, but at that time most of the players played regular deathmatch (1v1/2v2/4v4/). I always had the feeling that the RA-mod (or CA nowadays) was considered like practise for the "real" Quake (to which I agree partly, even though I played a shit load of Rocket Arena). I think after like 2003 or 2004 people started playing more Rocket Arena than DM in pub games (in Q3) ... Those were the days!!!

In Q2 I would say ctf was the most popular mod. Ppl played RA2 for aimpractice and for fun. Tthere was an even more fun RA version in Q2 called Jailbreak. It was a mix of RA and freezetag, but instead of getting frozen on the spot when fragged you were moved to a jail cell where the most horrible monotone music was played. You had to stay there untill a team mate freed you or alternatively your team won/lost the game and it all started over :)

mega popular, good fun casual mod to jump in and out of, essential to quake

rocket arena 3 was most popular in poland for years
