Eheheh.
They're both awesome, and I have them both for PC (two copies of Q3A, actually). But for some reason, I can never get my friends to play Quake with me.

Also- Quake Live, anyone?

Nah, it's a decent discussion and good layout.

I was going to play it. Then I realized that I only had a touchpad. :)

The demo is still available for PC. Most servers play Rail Gun Only. If you consider yourself skilled with shooters this is a good test.

I used to play unreal along time ago i was like 7-8 (first time i was like 5/6) and i loved it (it's what got me into FPS) now i play open arena (thanks to people on the IRC (me and my friend are addicts and are probably going to have to go through rehab)) and i like them both, Unreal just has a "mystical aura" of hardness (in my opinion)
