Good Maps For Newbies?

[Leaf]

Hi,

I just started playing defrag a few months ago. I used to play QW, then recently started playing Quake Live, and after playing a few QL defrag maps, I started playing vq3 defrag. I've been following the dfwc. I've completed all the maps except for round 4.

I'd appreciate if someone could recommend maps that help with a specific skill. I'm thinking of maps like elco-aga, where you have to do a rl-to-pg trick at the start (which I cannot do). Thanks.

I'd suggest playing online as much as you can. If you can't do certain parts of a map, spectate other players and simply try to copy what they are doing. If this doesn't help, switch to another server and try again later. Or you could train the different techniques on freestyle maps. That's how I learned to do things, but it's less fun playing for yourself. There are a lot of friendly people on the servers that are willing to help every newcomer :)

If you want to go with the freestyle map learning method, check out the amt-freestyle maps. They contain a lot of training rooms. For strafe pads, you might want to practice on bliss-beta2a, although there could be other maps with pads that are better calculated, don't know.

I'm sure you're right, but if I start playing online, then I'll probably do something silly like join a clan and waste loads of time playing defrag.

That's not me. I found a new name when I signed up to this site.

I'll check out the maps you recommend. Thanks.

I was browsing own-age lately and often saw a picture of a smiling king or something. If I remember right the person with this avatar was called Bacchus.
To make it short, I had the same question in mind

Smiling king, lol

Try ancient Greek God of wine and grapes by the name of Dionysius, who was called Bacchus by the Romans :p

Nope. Maybe I should choose a new name, since loads of people seemed to have already called themselves Bacchus.
