/vr/ - Retro Games

Yep, still play Quake 3 myself. It is pretty dead but you should try playing on CROM FFA (the one with the green text), there's almost always at least 2 or 3 people even during the deader hours and you frequently get full games.

Aside from that... not really. I don't even play RTS online anymore, I just dick around with custom content and AI. Singleplayer is just more relaxing and enjoyable for me.

defrag still alive and kicking though, that's all I play online really.

Sacrifice. wait, shit, thats not "retro" by this boards retarded standards is it

Is there a way to play Quake 3 multiplayer with the source port?

Streets of Rage 2, Fatal Fury Special, Super Mario Kart, Pocky and Rocky, Knights of the Round, Mario Bros. arcade

once or twice a year i'll binge phantasy star online for a week or two or until i hit ultimate mode and burn out, whichever comes first.

Can we make /vr/ room on Kaillera ?

All the Q3 duellers must be SOMEWHERE. Anyone can point me to the current active sourceport/mod/Q3 clone?

>>4660263
Just play Quake Live

>>4660285
Close enough.

I play UT/QIII locally with my nephew every once in a while. If Assault servers were still populated I'd probably still be playing UT online. Doom co-op once every couple years... I need to get back into that stuff.

Quake Live dumbass.

>>4661682
yeah, like 3 players on evenings in the middle of Europe, you sure know your shit

Every six months or so I'll go back to Cs 1.6 for a few hours. But everyone just plays dust /2 on repeat or totally random maps with obscure mods that I'm not interested in.

UT2K4

>>4661668
No, not close enough. The board doesn't allow ps2, xbox or cube, it shouldn't allow 2000 or newer pc games like RCT2 or Sacrifice.

>>4660263

Starcraft: Brood War, but only UMS maps because I was not gifted with Korean finger magic.

To be fair, RCT2 and Baldur's Gate II are both direct sequels to games that qualify and the sequels are more or less identical in terms of the technology used to make them and the actual gameplay, and it doesn't make a lot of sense to cuck the sequels out of threads on /vr/.

Phantasy Star Online
Diablo 2
I still play both online every few months.

>>4660263
Quake 2

>>4660263
I don't play anymore, but I used to have shitloads of fun playing HL team fortress.
I got pretty gud with the scout.

I enjoyed CS too, but I wasn't as successful at it for some reason.

>>4661642
The CPMA community is still pretty active if you don't mind the fast weapon switching and air strafing. They have a pretty active discord with duel-matching bots and so on.

There's also a handful of people playing Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2, see http://jkdf2.net.. You'll need to get on their Discord to join an actual game though, probably.

>>4660263
I hav quake live

there is people playing there if you are intersted

For the most part, CS 1.6 is still alive because it doesn't have as much of a skill floor as Quake 3 has. It's not an easy game to get into in one go, it requires quite some learning, and some players just don't bother practicing because they want something easy to play.

>>4662046
any mods that are still active and worth playing anon?

>>4660285
What is the multiplayer for Sacrifice like? I could never convince people to try it with me.

>>4662270
Action Quake 2, L-Fire CTF, gloom mod whenever it's active

I religiously play a marathon of all Half-Life games at least once every year.
I also play sporadically build engine games, the three classics mostly, and Doom and Heretic, the infinite amounts of mods keeps those games fresh, as for Hexen I just don't like it enough for give it another replay.

As for multiplayer games I also play Quake 3 a few times, but it's pretty dead, so I go to Quake Live if I don't find people to play in Q3.

>>4661001
It ran on my Windows 7 PC with no problem and was generous with the resolution options. I use QL for playing against humans though

TFC

Worms Armageddon. The PS1 version

>>4660263
UNREAL TOURNAMENT 99
WORMS ARMAGEDDON
STARCRAFT BROODWAR

A lot of old online Linux games still have very tiny communities. Only problem is that the people still playing have spent the last 15 years gitting gud, putting them at a godly level of skill.

If you aren't new to the games it generally only takes a few hours to get back into the groove of speedy arena shooters. Worth sticking around and playing with those 15-year players, especially since they're generally really nice people and just want to keep people around.

>>4660285
Might be a good time to try it, someone made a steam group and it's pretty active right now.

I've got ioquake3, but when I try to run multiplayer it doesn't connect to shit.

i have a hard time going back to quake 2 because of its netcode and weird delay on weapons.
