I am showing some age here and may even be wrong, can not remember last month let alone exact dates 10 years or so ago, so please tell me if I am wrong.
Was it not December 17, 1996 that iD Software released QuakeWorld?
Which if memory serves was a build of quake with huge improvements in the net code?
For those unaware wasnt this the now famous "client side prediction" which has formed the bases of all mp games since the release.
Anyway, to the point, if I am right here and my age is not messing with my memory we are coming close to the 10 year anniversary of this event that changed mp gaming forever.
Wouldnt it be nice for SD and iD to release ETQW demo on that day?
Good way to celebrate a remarkable achievement, well its probably more a memory than achievement or both, still, iD have lead the way for years in mp gaming, every single iD release has shown the competition why iD are the best at what they do, and no doubt ETQW will do the same, especially with SD doing the work.
Any of you SD fellas know the exact date? surely you fellas were playing quake back then, dont worry if admitting it makes you seem old, we all know the truth :)
