Mod Review

Reviewer : Ged Byrne founder and webmaster of Quake3stuff.com

Mod : RailFest

Author : Tapio Boles

Website : www.quake3mods.net/railfest/

Railfest is essentially quite a small mod in that there are only a few differences. The most obvious being that you only have a Railgun, then you notice that there are some pretty cool Runes with various features, lastly you notice that when ever you frag someone, your health returns to 100%.

Have you ever wondered how some people get so damn good at using the Railgun??? Well, look no further, this mod is the ultimate way to tune your Railgun abilities. Load this mod up with a couple of bots and get shooting... You will soon know exactly how long it takes for the Railgun to charge before you can unleash your next devastating shot. If you are not particularly good with the Railgun, make sure you lower the bots abilities... these guys don't often miss (especially if you just missed with one of your shots).

Once you get a bit better and you feel you can let go of a beam that is going to hit the target first time, increase the bots abilities and throw in a human challenger too (if you can). Steve and I played this one, for some time the other day... Not that I want to dwell on Steve's ability to completely pi$$ me off by never missing and beating me at a game I once considered to be "MY GAME"!

Runes, what can I tell ya about the runes...

Teleportation Rune
Much like the standard Quake 3 Arena teleport 'T' this rune allows you to teleport when you use it. The difference is that you can use it as and when you choose at a cost of 5 slugs per use.

Living Armor Rune
Similar to the normal Regeneration rune, this rune steadily increases your Armour strength by 5 points per second until it reaches 100 then it increases by 1 point per second until it reaches 200.

Strength Rune
The strength rune acts in the same way as quad damage does although it is apparently 1/2 quadfactor, which I assume can be translated to Double damage in plain english.

Speed Rune
Guess what this one does guys... Yep, it allows you to move at an increased rate (20% quicker infact), I like this one, cause it allows me to outrun Steve when he is chasing me with a charged Railgun that we both know is gonna kill me sooner or later!

Resistance Rune
This rune (as seen in other mods) acts by reducing the damage inflicted upon you by 1/3. Simple as that.

Regeneration Rune
Yep, this regenerates your health in increments of 5 per second until your health reaches 100 and then starts increasing by 1 per second until you reach 200 (if you avoid your foes for long enough).

Golden Gauntlet Rune
Essentially it's an instagib punch. Hit someone with this baby and they are dead first time! Ultimate humiliation!

Download this mod right now! It is cool.
