>>7766

>never heard of quake 3
LITERAL CHILDREN

>>7773
thought it looked similar but didn't realise it was actually just a mod, if you're gonna shill this thing at least explain what it is first bro

>>7774
yea srsly i figured he was talking about some surfmap autism mod
maybe thats still what hes talkin about? idk

>>7816
fuck it I'll jewgle it since it doesn't look like he's coming back
>DeFRaG (also capitalised as defrag, abbreviated as df, and its name comes from « Défis Fragdome ») is a free software modification for id Software's first-person shooter computer game Quake III Arena (Q3A). The mod is dedicated to player movements and trickjumping.[nb 1] It aims at providing a platform for self-training, competition, online tricking, machinima making, and trickjumping.
>The mod includes a variety of features—timers and meters, ghost mode, cheat prevention and learning tools. Specially designed maps are provided that will rely on the player's movement abilities to be completed up to the finish line, while standard Q3A maps and Capture the Flag (CTF) fast captures are supported as well.
I still don't get it but it sounds autistic
>The DeFRaG modification completely removes violence (except for the ability of the player to explode into bloody chunks) from the otherwise visceral first-person shooter. The gameplay mode or discipline called "deathmatch" came of age with Doom and was also in Q3A, the latter being dedicated to multiplayer competition.[10] From these games electronic sports, and particularly its professional variant emerged. The same games drove the computer games and violence controversy to unprecedented heights. While the Doom series was heavily criticized for its gory content,[11] the problem with Q3A was seen to be its focus on deathmatch, because in this discipline the ultimate objective is to kill ("frag"), as many other players as possible. But in DeFRaG's [sic] gameplay modes killing opponents has no place whatsoever. DeFRaG gameplay is all about improving the skills to exploit the peculiarities of the Q3A physics in order to move faster, to navigate along courses through the map topographies formerly deemed to be impossible, or to perform moves as yet unseen.
wtf lmao

>I still don't get it
so i was right, its a surfmap autism mod

go look up counter strike surf maps if you still dont know wtf. it was p big with hardcore autists like 15+yrs ago. i guess it looks kinda fun if you can actually do it, but it takes a lotta practice.
basically, goldsrc halflifes engine does weird shit with jumping and slopes, and so you build a map around that and go retarded fast. quakes engine is the literal father of goldsrc so its prolly p similar if you know how to do it in counter strike

>>7819
Oh alright, the second paragraph I posted gave me the impression that it was supposed to be Q3A for soccer moms or something. I don't really understand why you wouldn't just play a racing game or something like DMC if you like precise movements and that kind of thing rather than stripping the shootan out of a shootan game but I'm not gonna knock some dude's autism hobby.

>Q3A for soccer moms or something
lel no surf maps were just a mod for a mod. some guy made a couple maps and it turned into a thing. so now i guess they retrospectively do it in quake since the physics are so similar

>I don't really understand why you wouldn't just play a racing game or something
its a bit more nuanced than any racing game as you arent just steering. its closer to THPS tbh. and theres jumps and tricks and secret rooms and shit
idk its not my thing. you gotta be p gud at bhops to even do it, and i dont play that many shooters

>open thread
>no one knows what this is
>OP only says "defrag" in the title
>open video
>quake
>bhopping
>rocket jumping
>course timer
>oh that's what it is
>filename points to source video
>even more obvious in context
Obligatory OP is a faggot and whatever but you are all retarded for needing to be spoonfed and crayon-eating-pants-on-head retarded for thinking bhopping == surfing

>>7837
>muh spoonfeeding
Yea if this was 4chan or some big website like that I'd just search it but on a slow ass board like this I'd rather just ask about it to create some discussion. Also for me personally my only experience with Q3 is unironically when >we had the server here. Mostly played RTS stuff back in the day since they were largely the only gaymes that could run reliably on my shitty Celeron PC lol. Still it looks unique so might try out your 'tism mod sometime, does it work in ioquake or do I need the OG install?

>watching some 15min surf autism
nothx
i opened it, saw what amounts to surf maps, then quickly closed it in anticipation of some fuckawful linkin park mashup music or somethin lik that
