You've reached Besmella-Quake. We might not be the best resource any more, but we sure as fuck like Quake more than anyone else. Oh, did we mention we've been around for nine years? Yeah, that's right.

Hehe nice ven. My ql account expired ages ago, it was too easy and boring, with only a few hours practice i was beating some of the dedicated experienced 'good' players. And I hadn't even been able to reprogram my brain from thinking 'armour in 20' is the law

*models not being rendered where the hit box is
* clientside hit prediction, a drastically perverse compromise
* newbified artificial accel jumping and air control, both easier to performing and drastically more limited than qw
* weapon switch delay, welcome to monotony.
* weak weapons with lame perturbation power aka 'knockback'. shafting is like lassooing a retard no matter the skill of the evading player, rl battles are boring and predictable like slow motion table tennis on a trampoline
* deterministic respawns
qw is the non-commercial all-but-forgotten pseudo-prototype without a limit on development for 12 years and counting... ql is a mass appeal billboard. Case closed.

I stopped reading your objective opinion after realizing your laughable attempt at semantic flourishing is so very flawed.

good thing ive got you to teach me about 'semantic florescence' and 'objective opinions' etc. you got me pretty daunted man, perhaps one day ill be as flowery as you, but in the mean time ql is still a pos compared to qw. Some more flaws that i forgot to mention:
hitsounds, sif spam ever needed rewarding, though perhaps q3 players need their hands held, and much fewer battles would occur if you removed spam alert from the cunterstricken camperstrikers
footstep sounds, makes stealth slow at best, but mostly just a campsite
guns hum and make sounds, coupled with switch delay and monotony ensues

do you even read you fucking retard?

Nice rhetorical question, quite baffling. Do you even know what semantic means? (lol) It pertains to meaning in language. What you aborted on was a typo, specifically a subset of grammer called 'accidence'. Is this baked enough for you to parse? And even if you intended to use the word semantics, your term 'semantic flourishing' is quite stupid, language either is nonsense, has meaning or ambiguous meaning, to speak of flourishing when describing such a trinary situation is quite flowery, you have attempted to write a flourish but lo! you have not flourished. You could have correctly written rhetorical flourishing, but you would waste less keystrokes with '... laughable attempt at a flourish was ...', im baffled why you would write 'objective opinion', superfluous much?

Well actually my claim is that qw is infinitely subtler and more skill divisive than ql. My proving incontrovertibly that you are grammatiaclly pedantic, and conceptually simple, was merely a function of the fact that your glib (premise=conclusion) claims apart from the very substantive: "he's terrible at ql and qw is a shit game" ; have only been that I can't write and that I'm dim. If I butcher words in haste you butcher reason in leisure
