Ahhh, "Rumored Gameplay Changes" on a single site with no official sources. Errr, okay.

Half of them seem like a joke made up by someone who knows what would annoy people who like Quake, is the reason I ask.
They match with what a few alleged focus testers have told a few weeks prior to this. As well as that, some dev is being said to have confirmed them.

Seems pretty dubious to me. Anything's possible but I'll wait until it's not just cynical nerds saying this stuff.

Yeah, and those patch notes are bad enough that ID would have no reason to not refute them if what they're planning isn't similar.

Big deal. I could have thought up most of those by just sitting in my room thinking about why modern games suck compared to quake and some team fortress website is the only place I even found information about it apart from unsourced posts by an outspoken, sadistic cpma nerd in a comedy forum.

Like even if it's just denial on my part, there's no reason to view this stuff with anything but skepticism based on how little information there is, let alone from official sources. As it looks right now expecting SyncError to say "Actually no" about it is like expecting Jesus to descend from heaven to tell some homeless atheist in Waterwoods, North Dakota that God actually does exist.

Original actually is here. Also it's discussed on bunch of places, such as esreality, duelcraft, ql subreddit and such, so you certainly did poor at looking it up. This too:

Be skeptic all you want, but keep in mind that ID, and so Zenimax, owns Quake. IIRC, they consider Quake Live a failure. They don't care about keeping it in the spirit of Quake 3 if they feel they'll make more money mutilating it. Those changes don't just sound like what's bad about modern games, they also "fix" what people who are bad at Quake complain about.

Holy poo poo so this is actually real.

I recommend wait and giving it an honest shot, and not caring about what Quake is supposed to be or isn't supposed to be.

Icon of Party was loving fantastic

There were only a few maps I didn't really like and those were over fast enough to be bearable. The last one we played (the night mansion one) was fun as gently caress.

I dunno, but I think we should switch things up. We've played a lot of oldschool FPS, so maybe an RTS next week.
