Quake 1 CTF - Threewave Capture the Flag with Bots (02)

I made and uploaded this video because almost no videos exist on youtube of the Original Quake 1 Threewave Capture the Flag gameplay.

I used to play a lot of Quakeworld Threewave CTF back in the hayday of Quake 1, and to this day, it remains the MOST fun gameplay I have ever experienced in any video game, period.

I lost all demo videos from back when Quake 1 was popular, and it is very hard to get Quake 1 CTF games going anymore. Thus, this video is done with bots, using the CTFBotp mod, which is really great and comes pretty close what the actual gameplay was like against human players.

The bots in this mode are pretty good for fighting, although when they try to make flag runs, it isn't as great. Also, I made this video after not really playing Quake 1 seriously for over 10 years, so I am quite rusty. However, I still remember a lot, but also forgot some things.

I used to play on Quakeworld Threewave CTF servers on the west coast and used the name Scribble[SFD]. SFD stands for Sixin's Fire Dragons which is the Quake 1 CTF clan I created and lead. The clan didn't do any leagues as it was mainly created for fun, but we definitely had some good players.

Although, Quake 1 CTF is pretty much dead, I miss it a lot. If anyone else watching this video and wishing to play Quake 1 CTF again so desires, I have created a Steam group that is making a serious effort to put together some QWCTF games like the old days. Please check out the Steam group at:

Are the bots able to use the grapple hook? I'd love to play this game again online again... those were the days. But it seems hard to find others

[usagichan9991]

@MrElfunzo Yes, they do. Also, as with my other replies, check out our Steam group, we have 16 members now. The link is at the bottom of the video description.

@seb2455 I 100% agree, Quake CTF is the best team-based online gameplay ever. Join our Steam group, we keep growing more and more. The link to the Steam group site is at the very bottom of the video description.

Thanks for the video. There's nothing more fun than NQ/QW CTF. Too bad it died so quickly.. I, too, miss it. The Dutch scene used to be quite good with clans like VVV, UcF, EC and DCS. Great times. I was such a fan (nerd) that I wrote clanwar dates in my school agenda.

Anyone else laugh themselves into stitches when playing this? Cappin' ass and getting gibbed. Q1 CTF was the good life. After all these years, I don't need a stink'n GPS because I can recall real maps in my head from all the FPS games I used to hit up.

talking of bot mods, heard of Epic Games' lead AI programmer, Steve Polge? Before he joined Epic there was that mod that he made for Quake, called ReaperBots, which is what attracted Epic's attention towards him and hired him as their AI guru. This changes the AI for deathmatches, if I'm right, and improves it quite a lot.

gawd i needed this.

is so good to hear quake 1's death crys once again :)
