i am wonder if this will be censored like the rest ;P

Easy and Mow nailed it, tho. There won't be any big migration to Q4 until the tech standards will come on levels with it's requirements.

Actually we started the work on a port but froze it shortly after, as for the moment it's not worth the effort.

I mean there are more people playing Excessive Plus Q3 then Quake 4 with all it's mods and the game has been released in the late 2005.

yep thats right!
i has played QIV online (lasted version), ~450 servers and 70% of servers was empty...

One reason mentioned of why excessive+ should move to q4 was the "dying" of Quake community. I don't believe it. I've heard talk about dying of excessive community from the day I started to play this game. That was years ago. And still this community is very much alive and kicking. As Mow said, if it dies it dies very very slowly. I've seen many players quit but I've seen also huge amount of totally new players start to play this game. Before players were mainly from Germany, Netherlands, England, France or USA - I think it was because of better internet connections or something (just my assumption, dunno really). Now there are players from everywhere. And I see new players all the time.

So Quake III Excessive+ is not dying!

I haven't ever played any other computer game than Quake III. Except Solitaire. :roll: All I've heard is that Quake III excessive still is the fastest computer game on earth. I believe I won't ever play any other games than this. I don't want to play. There is no reason for it. If some day I notice that there isn't anyone anymore who would play this game with me, I just stop playing. I won't move to play some weird Q4 or anything else at that point. I just start to do something else - like for example hiking or learning to play violin or something.

Damn stop saying that q4 sucks ! It's just a different game with a different gameplay, maybe it's not as good as q3 fans expected it to be, however it remains a good game !

I'm playing q4 since the begining and i've played 8 month for a pro team, I attented many tournaments in France and online, i really know well the game, and believe me it's all about habbits and getting used to the new gameplay. There's a bunch of possibilites with the new movement ( crouch sliding ), the maps are awesome, lots of strategy, control and tricking. Although it sucked at the begining, since Q4MAX was realeased, it's getting better and better, every patch and new version is bringing new stuff and enhancing the whole quality of q4.

I'm sure half of the people saying that q4 sucks didn't even tried it, they are just repeating what others say about it, just like sheeps.
It's exactly the same story with CS 1.6 players and CS Source players, same bullshits and war over and over again ...

Yeah, imo, ID took a step in the wrong direction. Same shit that happened when q2 was released - most people didn't like it because it was so fucking slow, compared to q1. That, and uh, railgun. But guess we got used to it, hehe. And to date, q1 remains the fastest game of the series.

Anyway, yeah, all a matter of personal preference - i hate the physics, way too flashy gfx, and the fact that ID took a shite on the whole MP aspect with this installment to the series. I'll prolly stick with Q3 until Q5 shows up.
