>even though objectively speaking it's shitter than 2Fort
>>
Because playing in a browser sucks.
>>
>>12424720
It has ups and downs
It's great if you don't want to play Deck 16 All Weapons and Barbie's Monster Hunt World
It's bad if you want weapon hotkeys, more skins and more maps than the meagre selection they have

Apparently you can.
Just Google it.

Here we come.
From UT lagging on Celeron 266, TnT1 and 56K dial-up modem 26 years ago to MPing it via a web-browser.
It shouldn't, but it makes me sad.
>>
>>12424809
Celeron 766 and integrated graphics ran it like a champ which is where I came in
It's the software that matters, the hardware I'm not nostalgic for
>>
If /vm/ wasn't a dead board I'd post there
>>
>>12424123
because you can run any old exe in a browser since there's code that emulates x86 in browser. Anytime someone puts half life or whatever in the browser they are just gluing it into that with a little bit of fiddling, that's why it's usually done by a kid and forgotten within one hour after they spam around that they 'did this'
>>
yeah OP i remember quake live too
>>
>>12425421
>/vm/ is a board so dead we don't consider posting about a 30yo mp game there
>call of duty general got moved there as the current game is so bad even for cod standards their /vg/ thread can't keep up
not relevant for /vr/ but still fun as fuck

>>12425958
Yeah it's worse than 2Fort
But at least you can do this if you don't get immediately sniped in a real match, in fact I pulled it off yesterday

>>12424123
i played Quake Live with a browser plugin back in the day. but it's just not the same. obvious UI bugs and input lag.
>>
I suck at these games.
>>
>>12427924
True. Still considering most modern games just die because they rely solely on a central server that the publishers/developers have no intention of releasing the protocols/code to make it work for the general populace, it's great older games can still work properly because older developers had enough foresight and pride in their game to make it work forever effectively and in ways they may not have even foreseen.
>>
>>12427928
You just hit the purple ball with purple beam and pretty much win
>>
>>12427924
Unpatched UT99 has horrible input lag for whatever reason, this browser version is actually OK but I had a friend complain about the same thing, so it's clearly windows' fault

Aren't you forgetting being beheaded as soon as you reveal as much as a pixel of your head to some xX_TurboPr0F4gg0t1337_Xx who's been playing the game half of his lifetime on this particular map? I get it, this map is a classic, but after +20 fucking years every match on it becomes either a boring stalemate or total pwnage for one of the teams if the opponents completely suck ass.
>>
>>12431532
Sure I like quake 3 too

>>12431530
Other than windows setting or physical DPI switch? Not in a browser

>>12431593
Map is actually somewhat balanced around counter sniping since one of 2 sides at spawn has a sniper rifle, the other has a completely useless ripper for some reason
You just gotta watch out for clever dicks perching on the steps of the pyramid with a sniper instead of the intended place
Being repeatedly sniped in the face is of course most of the CTF-Face experience but it's not as bad in practice
2Fort at least has the decency to spawn you in complete safety by comparison
>>
You can also be a complete dickface and camp the enemy pyramid whilst spamming rocket grenades into the teleporter, it's fun
>>
Bump

SHAZBOT
>>
>>12433074
The UT equivalent of Shazbot is TRY TURNING THE SAFETY OFF
>>
>>12431284
Who's the artist?
>>
>>12433378
I have no idea
>>
can't play in any fucking lobbys for longer then 30 seconds without getting DCed
>>
>>12433364
Ah yeah, I would have bumped with that instead if I'd remembered it. I'm pretty sure I only know "shazbot" from UT though, even if it's primarily from something else.
>>
>>12424123
That's pretty great but I'm still bitter about having tried to revive UT99 multiplayer games in the past and nobody joined. If nobody gave a fuck then then I don't give a fuck now. The fact that whims are as light and changing as the wind disgusts me.
>>
>>12434189
If it's any consolation, it usually lives again on Fridays and Saturdays, thanks to organizing on sites like GameDate. I hosted a night of UT2004 myself a while back and got like 13 players as the average for the night, about 20 max, and around 30 or so unique. I think that site + the fact that the games are now freeware that can natively run on the shittiest of serverboxes has done decently to help revitalize things.
>>
>>12424123
>nObOdY cArEs
maybe if you didn't act like a fucking faggot posting your whiny crybaby thread I would, but yeah I definitely don't want to waste my time playing whatever some dipshit like you wants me to
>>
>>12433948
Shazbot is from Tribes, zoomer
>>
Always hated how UT felt compared to Q3. Feels so much cheaper.
>>
>>12425526
>quake
ya that shit came and went awhile ago
>>
>>12424123
I’m not playing video games with you. Fucking loser.
>>
>>12435150
Sometimes people don't play every single game, person several years younger than me.
>>
>>12436071
tribes themed shitposting is one of the most relevant pieces of /v/ culture of it's time and for several years following, you may not be a zoomer but you're definitely an egregious newfag.
>>
>>12436091
New to what? There are many boards, and this site is older than /v/ is. Nobody who matters to anyone in any way should be offended by someone's ignorance of "/v/ culture" of all things. God it's so silly when 4chan users pretend that failure to respect somebody's culture is somehow bad. Are you gonna trashtalk people for saying ethnic slurs next, because it shows ignorance of the value of brown people's cultures? No of course you aren't, you're only a very selective SJW. Grow up and relax your grip on your worthless nostalgia for a marginal trashheap, other(?) person several years younger than me. It is not, in fact, relevant.
>>
>>12436071
OK zoomer
>>
>>12424123
After Super Mario 64 was ported to PS1 and the only response was nothing but <85-IQ autistic console warrior bullshit, I'm not surprised in the slightest.

Posting my favorite UT99 mix.

>>12424717
Facing Worlds is awful unless you want a ten minute bot sniping session.
Morpheus on the other hand is 10/10. I never get tired of it.
>>
>>12436696
Facing Worlds sucks ass, but Morpheus is a low-grav gimmick map where one side can easily camp out on the good weapons and powerups and effectively dominate. Coret is the GOAT.
>>
>>12436402
Mothership Loudspeakerz is great. I also really like Necto Ulin remixes.
