A filler entry.

My opinion has clearly stated to me that Quake 3 Arena is probably the finest first person shooter deathmatch experience ever.
It's very fast paced, you see. The movement speed is rougly 15 MPH on foot. The best maps have good ol' bounce pads everywhere which push you up to something around falling speed, which I am going to estimate at 35 MPH. And of course while trampolining at this speed all around the place up to 20 meters in the air, you are armed with rocket launchers. Pegging a fellow in midair with one of those things is the greatest satisfaction possible. And none of those sissy homing rockets, either. This is trigonometric estimation at high speeds with blood.
And it's perfectly balanced too, which helps a lot!

Go google the video "Get Quaked 3" for a good demonstration of what the game's about. It's pretty mindblowing sometimes, you see.
