And now I feel nostalgic for the times when there was shooting if the shooters. There was always something special about the Quake 3 (and 2) engines - the fluidity, freedom and speed they provided in the games were unmatched. I don't know if it was the engine itself or the developers that flocked to these engines but the feeling of the shooting and movement on the games developed on the Unreal base is much more clumsy. Don't know exactly why.

Was at a hackathon at a university a while ago, and took a few minutes to unwind by fragging some nightmare bots in Q3. I ended up with a few students looking over my shoulder, asking what game I was playing. There's a certain elegance and efficiency of movement the old arena shooters give you that's missing in many of the CoD clones these days--Painkiller has come closest to matching it, along with the Serious Sam tomfoolery.

  They didn't even know what game you were playing? Goddamn am I old or what?
