No idea how many takes, if using any bots, etc.

Beautifully filmed. I've played the id fps games competitively since doom (stopped a few years back after some carpal). You'd normally see people do one, maybe 2 or 3 rocket jumps in a row, and never by the advance-firing technique seen here. I guess this advanced stuff evolved out of the immune to self-damage style of clan/rocket arena.

I don't recall quake 3 having those type of rocket jumping physics.. I can barely get any air in quake 3, unlike original quake.

That was sick. Belth was by far my favorite to watch.

Can you imagine if these guys applied themselves to billiards? They could be quite the sharks!

q3 source has also been available to the public for almost a year now. It's possible that's just a hack...

The end credits would be when the game was released, the source code is something all-together different. If they released the buildable source code in 2004, no one would buy the game, since they could build the executable for free...

I looked at that source to create my own .md3 loader. It's pretty nasty...
