Direct rocket hits do nothing to slow your forward momentum, and getting riddled with bullets doesn't even seem to phase your player.
Quake III is faster and captures the atmosphere of utter chaos and mayhem much better than Unreal Tournament. There's no exact number or formula you can point out to say why Quake III: Arena feels better than UT, it just does. Well, a game's feel is something that doesn't have to be quantified, just qualified. In our review of Quake III, we said, "Quake has always been about fast action, quick reflexes, and big kills, but Quake III by far feels like the best of the bunch." Soon after the review went up, we saw a lot of usegroup postings wanting us to quantify what the feel of a game entails. You're the bee's knees, baby! Like everybody was to MC Hammer back in 1990, Quake III is to Unreal Tournament in 1999, 'cause you just can't touch this - at least as far as the arsenal goes. There were even a few new additions to the already fantastic Unreal arsenal, like the Shock Rifle and the Redeemer.
Even the Impact Hammer, the hand-to-hand weapon in Unreal Tournament, is awesome - much cooler than the lame-ass gauntlet in Quake III. Who could get bored of a gun that spits out spinning saw blades? And who wouldn't love a gun that shoots gobs of explosive green goo? Okay, so Trent wasn't a big fan of the BioRifle, but I think that has to do with the number of times I slimed him with it. and has multiple ways to fire each to boot. Unreal Tournament, on the other hand, sports a multitude of great, creative weapons. haven't we seen all of these before? And weren't they kind of boring then? Even the most creative weapon in Quake III, the Lightning Gun, is just a throwback to the original Quake. You've got your shotgun, you've got your machine gun, you've got your rocket launcher. No first person shooter would be complete without a solid cache of guns, and while both Quake III and Unreal Tournament offer enough firepower to make the local National Guard jealous, there's just nothing new or innovative in Quake III. Let's start out with the most obvious comparison: the arsenal.
