Talk:DeFRaG

message: Problem with some statements made in the article...
"and it is the only tricking-technique using a weapon which can be observed in Q3A-deathmatch competition" with regards to rocket jumping. This is not true, plasma climbing and grenade jumping can be used (particularly with the battle suit). In fact, an example of plasma climbing in DM is actually shown in the movie Get Quaked 3. Perhaps someone ought to rectify this?
Hi, are there any references actually for this mod itself? (And not just related subjects like trickjumping and Doom 3). From Wikipedia:Notability (software):
The software package has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself.
Wouldn't want to see all this hard work get deleted. Marasmusine 23:04, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I did have a look, but I have no idea if Spiegel online is a notable source, and like you say it's in German :>. It would be nice to reference the GEE issue, since multiple sources are required. Perhaps one of the guys at Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer and video games/Magazines could track it down?

text: Here I got the version of the article which they saved in their archieves. http://www.geemag.de/relaunch_storyseite.php?story=69&ausgabe=19 ... I dunno whether it's the same story in the magazine. Whatever... if you seriously need a translation of both articles grant me time. My english is rather bad :) 85.212.37.108 00:14, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That should certainly be added to the references. I wasn't sure on WP's policy on foreign-language sources, so I checked Wikipedia:Citing sources; it seems to be okay (although an English translation would be preferable.) Marasmusine 00:23, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Kringiel 2006a and b are almost completely about DeFRaG. It is especially stressed that DeFRaG and its community have taken the violence out of a first-person shooter game. Besides describing DeFRaG and trickjumping at length as a culture in its own right, and quoting from interviews the author has done with DeFRaG performers, the article goes on throwing it as an argument into the "computer games and violence" discussion. Kringiel 2006a was published in GEE, which is a German computer and video games print-magazine comparable to Great Britain's EDGE. GEE has a current print run of close to 25,000 copies per issue. A revised and augmented version of Kringiel 2006a was published as Kringiel 2006b at Spiegel online. "Der Spiegel (English: The Mirror) is Europe's biggest and Germany's most influential weekly magazine, published in Hamburg, with a circulation of around one million per week." (from Wikipedia's entry Der Spiegel ;-) Spiegel online is its online presence. Furthermore DeFRaG is mentioned in the academical paper by Olli Sotamaa and therein described as being exceptional. I quote: "A clear majority of modifications can be named either deathmatch mods or teamplay mods, or in certain cases both of them. Still, there are a couple of significant exceptions to this: for example The Dark Conjunction mod aims to bring a whole new story driven single-player adventure to Quake III players and DeFRaG is basically a training mod designed to improve gamer’s skills in various areas." (Sotamaa 2003: 9) So, first of all DeFRaG is subject of an article in a German print-magazine on games. Secondly this article has been deemed so noteworthy that the editors of the online presence of Europe's biggest and Germany's most influential news magazine have decided to publish a revised version of it. Thirldly DeFRaG has not only been mentioned in an academical paper, but was called to be exceptional therein. Furthermore an academical paper is in preparation which deals almost exclusively with DeFRaG, and which will be printed in an anthology consisting of academical papers dealing with the shooter-genre. zeph 10:26, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
