Why do the people who played this before but get all whiny about it now complain about poo poo like there not being enough blood or whatever. Idiots. I didn't even know what Quake 3 was until 2009 and even though I seen the blood by now I don't need to see it instead of the sparks or w/e in QL.

I could swear it was kinda similar to the q1 nailgun but not really. Says how memorable was that expansion.
Or maybe I confused it with something else, idk


hosed up and bullshit.


Go away.

The q3 nailgun is like a shotgun that shoots bouncing projectiles. There's not really anything in q3 that's like the q1 nail gun unless you just think of plasma as a reskin.

Also I love when steam sets the release date for when they get a game. Like some loving nitwit is going to think Quake Live is a thing that just came out.

What's it matter if they do. I didn't know what quake was until 2009 and didn't play it until 2011 and I'm a devout fan now.

Do you still only get a limited number of plays per day unless you buy an upgraded account or whatever it used to be?

I've played off and on since 2011 and that hasn't been a thing so I doubt it unless they changed something in the last couple months.

I know they are trying to get more people to try QL by adding it to steam but they need to change the horrible layout they use for the launcher. I feel like most people end up playing CA but I kind of prefer duels nowadays or at least CTF.

There's an IRC for "natdmpickup" but I remember I sat in there once for about 8 hours watching a pickup flip between 4/8 and 5/8 players.

2v2 CA is like the worst thing I can imagine.

Wormskull
Aug 23, 2009

I remember a while ago some idiot was trying to tell me why CA isn't as bad as I thought and I started to describe how a CA match always goes and I thought I was exaggerating a little bit and then I looked on Facebook 15 minutes later and saw by sheer coincidence that the Quake Live page shared a CA tournament video from Stermy starring probably the top 8 CA players in Europe and it was almost exactly what I was describing.

Wormskull
Aug 23, 2009

The funny thing about how big CA maps are is there's only one 10mx10m spot on any one of them that people play around and every 5 rounds someone ends up in a different room of it showing off how much of a spastic they are. It's such a sad waste of nearly all that makes Quake the best MP FPS. :sigh:

Wormskull
Aug 23, 2009

There are bad maps in QL but the reason the "best" CA maps are still sad is because CA is bad. Overkill is a nice FFA map and would probably be an OK tdm map. Asylum is alright in FFA. Deep Inside isn't an awful tdm map. Campgrounds is a good duel map. And so on.

Wormskull
Aug 23, 2009

So I think people like bad maps but they also like bad modes first and foremost I think (because if there is a bad mode they have an idea of what maps are the least bad on it), and, unlike being able to play Nuketown in CoD which is always a bad map no matter what, people want to ruin an otherwise probably decent map by playing clan arena on it.

Wormskull

That said, in the USA people only play CTF on Space CTF. So whatever.
