Yeah, veteran Quakeworld players are scary. They have the spawn rotations memorised on every map, so as soon as you respawn, you're getting rockets in the face.

Haha so true. Now I just have to find some original Team Fortress servers ;).

I tried it over the weekend and was quite impressed. It ran extremely smoothly with zero lag and was very easy to set up. I have never played Quake 3 but I think I managed well enough for a newcomer :).
For a bit of nostalgia I also tried the original Quakeworld (I could find only one populated server) and holy shit that game was fast paced. I never lasted more than 5 seconds :o.
Yeah, QWrs are as nightmarish as you'd expect for what, up to 12 years playing the same game? When I played them, they were bouncing me up with a rocket and smashing in the air with another just about 100% of the time. That's skill.

The best maps in Quake 3 are the custom ones, particularly 3wave's CTF maps. Also, weapon balance is a bit better for most gametypes.
I disagree about the weapon balance. I think lowering the rail in particular was a good idea, being essentially a point 'n' click weapon. I prefer the original Q3 maps in most cases though.
