TheFragileIt's really just comparing q1/q3promode to q2/vq3/q4. The movement systems in all of the games are awesome and should be appreciated, but to say one is objectively better or what QC needs is a bit silly.
all of the games also have different weapon and armor mechanics
I think most people will agree QL was terrible to watch and honestly to play and one of the reasons for that was that it took the movement from q3, added a bit of q2 flavor (double jumps) and then reduced the damage on every major weapon except rockets, and thus you had 10 minutes with 1 frag; it's so much harder to outright kill someone because the weapons you needed to chase are bad in those situations.
q4 had engine problems but other than that every other quake game is super fun
has the website been hugged to death?
that's a yes
