PadMod

For those of you that are interested. A stand alone version of the Pad Mod is now available. It's 550meg, but it's worth the two and a half minute download. Cracked me up when I played it.

I tested that two years ago.
It's fun I guess, but I must learn for school leaving exam. No time to dive into it!

By the way, what is the past form of dive? Dove?

I played the game again. It does not run halfly as good as q3a here. My computer is usually very good, but even on 1024x768 it stutters often. I guess the game has too many open-room levels with thousands of objects in them.
Also, I did not really understand how to play and it all got too colored for me. I uninstalled it again.

Actually got round to playing this the other day - mainly because it was a freebie on the PC Gamer magazine disk.
It's okay - although it seems to be a fairly simple mod really - just replace the vanilla weapons in q3 with something that looks different but plays the same - there's virtually a 1 to 1 equivalent.
There is no single player - although you can practice by making a LAN server and filling it with bots.
The maps are big and at least they've got plenty of players.
It basically plays as a combo of headhunter from Team Q3A (or as seen in the wonderful 'Corkscrew' mod) and 1 flag CTF.
Most players on the servers seem a bit noobie to me (which is saying something).
I understand that the Q3A engine is now freeware - so there will be loads of legit standalone games like this no doubt in the near future.

Oh, and I noticed there is a Insta version running in Beta
(of course whether it is unlagged is another matter)
