Reaction Quake 3.1 Release Features Improved Aiming

The Reaction Quake Team has released an update for Reaction Quake, bringing it to version 3.1. Reaction Quake is a Quake port designed for custom level design and internal game code modification. The update features bug fixes and game enhancements including improved aiming. According to the Reaction Quake Team:

Since our release 2 weeks ago, weive come across some things that weive decided were worthy of a quick fix or tweak, and in some cases, a small addition.

Reaction Quake 3 (or simply known as "Reaction") is essentially a direct-as-possible port of Action Quake 2 (AQ2) to Quake 3: Arena.

Because the A-Team decided to continue work on Action Half-Life and Action Unreal Tournament, there will be no official port of AQ2 to Quake 3.

Reaction Quake 3 is a community-based effort to implement the gameplay from the hit modification with Quake 3is superior rendering engine and networking code.

This is solely a code revision, no maps or models in this one.
