***Official Quake Live anticipation thread (Q3A based FPS-game)***

[ezdonkey]

First thoughts of the game:

Tweaking configs is harder, so it can't get it 1:1 to my old Q3. It doesn't have all the console commands that were in point release 1.32.

Otherwise game play feels the same, except rockets are faster.

why dont I get a key, I signed up too
DO WANT
Are there new 1on1 maps or smth like that ?
A lot of players playing yet ?

qw>cpm>q3...all good tho. i sorta remember xah, what clans were you in? I was never really that good at q3 osp/vanilla etc but liked it a lot. I always got into FPS too late to really get that good (except ut2k3 which died pretty quik)

cpm = q3? i was in track5 for tdm (boston/ma based clan) zr0 for ra3, i actually forget the ctf team i was in but we were nasty, it was me, cl0ck, viju, i think mephit? and a few others. i was mostly 1v1 but those are the clans in that i remember.

Any timeline on when this game is going to move past Beta?

[bdiddy12]

just played this a bit today, its in open beta now.

runs flawlessly on my 3 year old comp, no connectivity issues, really impressed with the backbone. never played quake 3, but the weapons seem very quake 2 influenced. the shotgun seems a little overpowered, and the AR you start with is practically useless. If you dont start each spawn by grabbing a new weapon you will be fish food. Maps seem pretty solid too, only played a handful but they were simple and pretty well done imo.
