Owning all of them, I can say that Q1 and Q3 are more fun than Q2. Q1/Q3 were great, Q2 was... meh at best.
However, of the three, Quake 2 has the most active online community (although Quake has a larger pro scene - yes, it's still going. Q3 is dead, with most of the players having moved to QL, no matter how much they complain about its inferiority).
- alkonaut 10y agoI fondly remember Q2 as being "much less brown and with a railgun" which was enough for me to consider it worth playing over Q2. Q3 was better, but 1999 also saw Unreal Tournament and Counter Strike, so I never looked back at Quake.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoI don't have UT99, so I can't compare. I've heard it's like UT4, which I didn't really enjoy all that much. So put me on the Quake side of the Quake/UT fight, I guess. And I could never get into CS.
- nailer 10y agoUT was better than Q3 - wider variety of weapons, more fun game types, better maps. But Q3:TeamArena was massively overlooked. It added megatexture to Q3, had massive maps, cooler weapons, and a better aesthetic.
- cableshaft 10y agoI still go back and play Quake 3 Team Arena with bots from time to time. Still one of my favorite bot experiences.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoBut Q3 had advanced movement, a stronger modding scene, and a grappling hook (sort of).
- edem 10y agoMy favorite was Q2 because of its campaing. I never played them online though.
