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.

I would be okay with 4 vs 4 ctf or 2 vs 2 CA on smaller maps but no one does this.

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.

That requires me to use irc which I don't do because its 2014.

I used to play a lot of RA3 but CA is really bad. Lets give everyone 200/200 and all weapons and make every map a giant room.

Edit: Its like those CS maps for awp practice.

Ugh campgrounds. Its an okay map thats overplayed, there are lots of maps that are fun to play but everyone always chooses campgrounds.

Like dm2, dm5, and dm7 are pretty good maps.

What does that mean? I can't think of a way to have a loadout in quake as weapons are dependent on map placement.

i've gotten used to picmip 10 that if I change it to 0 i think the game is uglier. the textures are starting to show their age.

I guess killing quake 3 is a good way to tell me, a 30 year old, to stop playing video games.

They encrypted the pk3s in QL so you can't use them in Q3. Going back to Q3 is kind of annoying cause I had gotten used to the niceties of QL's UI customization and cvars. Such as picmip only textures and brightskins.

those motherfuckers actually went and did it

Disabled the pk3 encryption. Paks can now be opened like a zip file; maps load up to 25% faster.

This is the only good item from those changes. Time to just copy those pk3s to my Q3A install. Quake is dead, god is dead, the government is a lie.
