What is Quake III Rally?
Quake III Rally is a mod for Quake III Arena that turns it into a
fully fledged racing game, with racing modes, deathmatch modes, capture
the flag, demolition derby and more.
Can it be played online?
Yes! All the Quake III Arena code is updated so that all the client side
prediction stuff should work fine. Have a blast.
What spec machine do I need to play
it?
You need a slightly better machine than Q3A itself requires, due to the
extra overhead of the physics calculations. You also need a good net
connection for the best online play experience.
Are there bots? Can I play this single
player?
There are deathmatch bots included, but they haven't been tweaked much,
so don't expect them to be much of a challenge. There are no racing
bots.
What car models do you currently have?
See the features page.
What game modes are included?
We have Deathmatch, Racing Deathmatch, Straight Racing, Demolition
Derby and Capture the Flag.
What about weapons? Are you using
standard Quake III ones?
Yes. We have rear-fire weapons which weren't including
in Quake III, but our forward firing ones were.
Were we involved in the original Quake
Rally?
Other than the name, no. We do have the permission of Impact, the
creators of the original, to make a proper sequel. We just have to make
sure that everyone knows that it's not Impact who are developing the mod
(as they don't want to get the email about it).
The only connection is that Stecki, our
main modeller, did some cars for the cancelled Ultimate Rally project
that Impact were working on.
Were we involved with Checkered Flag -
Gold Cup?
Nope. They were a Quake 1 racing mod, trying to finish where Quake
Rally v1.2 left off (as if anybody felt that it needed finished). We are
a Quake III Arena racing mod. You can check them out here.
Where can I get Quake Rally 2, you
know, the one for Quake 2?
You can't get it as there is nothing to get. The code was lost in a
hard drive crash and the choice was made at that point to just wait for
Quake III Arena, as the leap in technology was far greater, and the date
was soon approaching. Of course Quake III Arena ended up taking a lot
longer than we (and id) had anticipated, but we can't be blamed for
that.
There is a mod called Qracing which is
for Q2 and is hosted at Telefragged we believe.
