QUAKE III:
BID FOR POWER

 

Here's a brief History Explaining Bid For Power:

Alright, for those who don't know what Bid For Power was, it USED TO BE a Dragon Ball Z based Mod that used the designs of the Quake III 3DFX Engine.  The reason why I stated "USED TO BE" is because the BFP Developers spent just a little less than 2 full years developing this mod.  Two YEARS to develop a Quake 3 MOD!!  (Please Note that ESFORCES for Half-Life was in development for only half a year.)

When the Mod had finally scheduled a due date to be released to the public, FUNimation and Infrogames decided to send the BFP Team a Cease and Desist OrderIn other words, FUNimation would have sued the BFP Team Big Time if they would not have closed the project.  Q: Why would FUNimation want to do such a thing?  Answer: FUNimation bought Dragon Ball Z from Akira Toriyama and TOEI ANIMATIONs, thus including their COPYRIGHT Laws for the hit production.  Since the BFP Team went and developed the DBZ Based Mod without FUNimation's permission, anarchy had risen.

What has become of BFP as of today?
The BFP Team decided that they didn't wanna fuck with FUNimation since they had no chance to win the case, so they shut down the project for only a month or two.  After a few months of recovery (after all, they were forced to throw away 2 years of hard work) they thought, "Hey, why don't we just keep the layout of the game, and just trash the characters and player models."  And so, as of today, Bid For Power still remains under heavy development, but let me tell you, they're doing one hell of a
BAD-ASS-KICK-THE-SHIT-OUT-OF-FUNIMATION-Job.

NOW THE FUN STUFF

What's the difference between Earth's Special Forces and Bid For Power?
The truth is, Bid For Power kicks the "SPECIAL" out of Earth's Special Forces.  Pretty much every thing about Bid For Power is by far better than ESFORCES: sounds, game-play, smoothness, maps, and ABOVE ALL - THE CRAZY GRAHPICS! .  How do I know this? Because I spent all last night playing Bid For Power.  "How? It was never released to the public!"  HAH!  I found a site that's has an Unreleased Version of the Mod before they shut down the project.  So yea, it's missing the models of Goku, Piccolo, and Frieza.  The characters you can pick in this unreleased version are Vegeta, Young Gohan, and Krillin.  

NOTE: Even though the only models in the game are Vegeta, Gohan, and Krillin, you can still choose to play as Goku, Frieza, or Piccolo as well.  All the game does is it uses Vegeta's model when you pick Goku, Piccolo, or Frieza.  So its kinda weird to see Vegeta throwing a Kamehameha, a Masenko-Ha, or even a Frieza Disc.

If you have Quake 3, then you can DOWNLOAD the unreleased version of Bid For Power HERE.
