Thought you were talking Quake, sorry. But of course CS will be still in media and places, because it's noob friendly more people can just play it and get less people get discouraged to just drop the game. Noob games are just more popular, as shown by any shooter in the past 6 years.

Quake is only faster for moving through the level because of the hopping. However in actual battle, as you know, hopping is a sure way to get you killed unless you are running. Meanwhile UT is much much faster than Quake when it comes to a shootout, but much slower in navigating a level. Since the navigation of a level really doesn't matter since levels are buiolt around the speed of navigation, UT wins. It's much harder to nail a person in UT than it is in the slow Quake.

Quake is mostly a position war, holding the right place on the map can earn you victory. But the magic and reason why Quake was more popular amongst both gamers and media was the speed at which the match flows. And yes, hoping and the movement altogather is the reason. UT is slower than Q, I really can't accept what you're trying to say.

And to CS beeing noob friendly, explain to me, why it's still the most popular multiplayer shooter in the world? Why the community is still going strong with so many newer games around and why UT and Q died when they have basicaly zero competetion?

See, in UT position didn't matter, just as long as you were in the right place at the right time to collect a shield or DD. When it comes to the actual shooting and dodging however, UT is much more dynamic and much faster than Q.

As to CS, the same reason Halo is so popular. More people can play it, there hasn't been a sequel, and the chobs that have been playing it for 10 years are used to it. As I said before even the biggest noob can get lucky and do well some rounds. There is no such thing in Q or UT, so all the noobs decided that they are better off leaving and playing a game where they can think of themselves as somewhat skillful, than stick around with Q and UT and have their faces pummeled in the ground nonstop. I mean, if I was a noob I'd have done the same so it's understandable.
