Ultra freeze was awesome...if you stuck with q3a untill recently the only servers that where consistantly populated where the freeze tag ones. So imo I think it would be very popular in quakelive.Lot more strat than CA and CTF. Lotta fun too

I went as "haste" in Q3, and I developed Unlagged and Ultra Freeze Tag. I'm extremely pleased to see server-side hitscan lag comp made it into Quake Live. Now it's time for freeze tag.

Just in case it's not being added -arQon is there and he did FT for CPMA IIRC, so it might be - I've got three reasons for y'all.

1. It has the same strategic flavor as CTF but in any map you like. The "bases" move as teams make new groups of corpsicles of each other. It's more frantic than CTF but gets tactically deeper than CTF as the players get better. Also, camping is less frequent because most "bases" can't be camped easily by some crouching n00b with a few rails or rox.

2. Freeze Tag servers were popular even after most Q3 FFA servers were ghost towns. It has great staying power.

3. The people who played - I'm thinking of the clans in the US, AU, and NZ - were just awesome. They were good players who practiced hard and still played for fun. This kind of hardcore-for-fun market is exactly what Quake Live is targeted at.

A suggestion: if you *do* make FT, seriously consider insta-freeze with a client-side-predicted grapple. That was a blast.

Damn right Haste

I started back in the Beta series of quake3, when they had dm6, dm7 and dm17.
That was alot of fun...

Once the game got released, everyone started to get the q3 fever...
Not long after mods were popping in....

The most popular by all was OSP, but thats just cause the client side was smoother for everything... and thats why they used that mode as competitive play...

But then, Freezetag came along, with the colaboration of UK/NL players...
Big bond, from all the freezetag community...

Once freezetag got popular, this mod had tourneys....
teams practiced 2-3-4 times a week, to beat other teams.
it was serious, because trying to "thaw" someone frozen isnt too too easy when your skilled. because you can move them around with shotgun, to your favorite camping destination, and work as a team to keep them frozen and non thawed.

Then it went to unlagged freezetag, uft for short... with the unlagged client and server side i belive..
after CPMA or more known as "promode" was enabled too... to make the game play more competitive...

This mod had big clans, like [IPD], <id<, -GL-, |oth, l0d, and all the smaller ones in between... and ones i dont remember of the top of my head, but that there are some clans that made it happen...

and then the TDM community started played because TDM was boring, they needed more, so freezetag was the best option yet...more competitive, more thinking, more doing....

CK, D|S, [xeno], [cccp], stx, k9, fith.... i can go on and on, but you know exactly what i mean, if you played quake3.... those clans converted to Freezetag to find the better side of team work.

JUST ADD IT!!!!

Anywho, this mod never died. its still beeing played on Tuesdays and Thursdays on [72.5.152.190:27960] [ Yankee Jr 2 UFT Clan OtH ].
around 8pm eastern time.... peeps join an pub still, for old sake.
there is also another server kicking around for compatition play, if ever need be....[ 8.6.74.146:27960] [Clan SS* | St. Louis | Custom/OGL Mode].

plus efreeze came out after.... so its been out for less then 2 years....
so don't waste time with efreeze, think unlagged :P no more lag!!!!
