The new site is quite "busy", visually. I question the utility of some of the things on the right-hand side. For instance, the tags in the right are somewhat redundant with the top menu and somewhat misleading. I initially clicked "cool features" expecting a list of features and got news posts tagged with features instead. Personally, I think the first page should mainly be focused on explaining what ioq3 is and attempting to "sell" it to the viewer. Having everything so news-centric doesn't seem as useful to me, mainly since news is pretty infrequent and people aren't likely to be checking the site regularly.
<br><br>Other specifcs: The "Q"s on the Help page stand out too much IMO. A smaller heading would be less distracting. The Get it page could use some headings or something to easily distinguish between platforms like the old site (I'm guessing this is just a place holder since there isn't actually anything linked here).
<br><br>As far as aesthetics go, I think a bit of color would be nice. By chance, I had the Quake 3 CD case sitting on my desk and I happened to notice that the white/black/grey balance matches pretty well with it. Adding a dash of red might be nice and would make it resonate with established Quake 3 artwork. Just a suggestion... not sure how artsy fartsy any of you are, or care to be.
