Anyone feel up for a game of Quake Live?
>>334919079
Too busy playing UT4 so no
>>334919079
>arena shooters
the genre is dead move on anon.
>>334919189
>Why yes I'd rather play a glorified tech demo over the king of shooting games
Casual
>>334919295
>glorified tech demo
You do realize all weapons except the Ripper are in and that all maps are already in right? It's just only some of the maps have finished textures, rest have placeholders that still look better than say Reflex garbage.
>>334919293
What about Toxikk?
I'm up for UT99,2004 or 2015.
>>334919079
Meh I would if it didn't mean giving 10$ to the greedy fun-ruining community-shitting Bethesda cucks.
>>334919380
dont know what it is but I can tell you that Quake Live is atm the most played arena shooter and it has 500 average players online per day , everything else has under 100 people playing.
The whole fucking genre is dead and will never come back.
>>334919397
Why not UT3 anon?
>>334919546
There is no UT3, it never happened.
>>334919546
I have it but 2015 is better and free
>>334919529
If I wanted to get into QL, what's the skill barrier like now? Or is it just try hards?
Add N_Tropy_ on steam and lets fuckin fite on QL lolCA 1v1
http://steamcommunity.com/id/boogesmooge/
cmon add up filth stains lets go
>>334919612
>2015 is better
Hell no, Quake Live is the godfather of shooters. Literally the magnum opus, no other game comes close which is why its a shame casual shit like battlefield and cod dominate the industry. Why would anyone with taste play those?
>Is free
Now this is true.
>>334919916
I mean, 2015 is better than UT3.
Read the post I replied to.
>>334919916
He said UT4 is better than UT3, not QL you projecting cockmongling shitslurper. But what else could I expect from Quacklyfe pleb.
>>334919916
You're not wrong, but you're still a cretin.
>>334919079
Are there any viable, relatively alive alternatives to QL? Fuck Bethesda.
>>334920205
UT4
>>334920205
nope, the genre is dead.
>>334920205
UT 2015.
>>334920205
>relatively alive
>>334920459
Stop calling it 2015 you fucking retard when
1. It's called UT4
2. It came out in 2014
You've been doing it all thread.
>>334919295
quake live has been destroyed by casualized changes
>>334920580
Really? How so you absolute heathen?
>>334920708
Doesn't it have loadouts now?
>>334920708
haven't you seen the update?
>>334919668
Pure liquid tryhards.
Nope loadouts are gone. autohopping is gone and the LG is back to its normal state
>>334920829
No it doesn't
>>334920829
Not only are the loadouts gone but the game is as close to Quake 3 now then it has ever been. Mod support with all ya custom maps and games modes. Defrag is back as well
Can someone tell me what the difference between Quake 3 and Quake Live as of now is? Does QL have Team Arena content as well? Does it have anything new on top of that?
>>334921290
Mod support? Is there CPMA? Are people playing it? I was wondering where the CPM crowd went, surely they didn't all piss off to play Reflex.
>>334921290
>>334921052
So they put loadouts in and then took them out?Maybe there's a chance for D44M then.
>>334921428
Yes there are a few servers with CPM movement still around i think theres 2. One with vamperic dmg shit and one thats vanilla cpm
>>334921401
There is no difference almost. Quake 3 had the shittiest netcode. Quake live has everything Quake 3 had but its overall netcode and feel of the game is better
>>334921605
>no difference
Why don't you all faggots mention how Quake Live was censored and has no gibbing?
>>334921532
Let it go, anon
They removed loadouts from Quake Live because QL only appeals to a niche audience. DooM 4 is attempting to appeal to a mass market of CoD and FarCry fanboys.
QL is shit
Blood and gore removed
Railgun nerfed (80 dmg, in Q3 it does 100 dmg)
MG nerfed (7 dmg per hit in Q3, 5 per hit in QL)
Rocket splash dmg nerfed (100 in Q3, 84 in QL)
>>334921954
It hurts, anon. I see the potential in that game, buried under layers of shit.
>>334922078
>No blood and gore
I can already imagine ID being the ones working on a new Wolfenstein only to remove swastikas and nazism like its the SNES port of W3D all over again
>>334922209
Do yourself a favour and just play Q3 Gold on Gameranger or with the masterserver fix.
>>334922250
It's dead.
>>334922420
Which part of "with masterserver fix" do you not understand?
It appears dead because when GameSpy died all the masterservers hosted by them died as well, you need to get a workaround for the unofficial masterserver you fucking retard.
Same applies to Jedi Academy, Unreal Tournament and the like.

https://www.gametracker.com/search/q3/?sort=3&order=DESC
But you're retarded and will keep spewing memes anyway.
>>334922620
What part of "dead" don't you understand you cockslurping retard?
Have you actually tried playing or are you too stupid to realize that those players with 0 ping you are competing against are all bots?
Idiot.
>>334922753
>0 ping
Boy you sure are fucking stupid. If you had even a fraction of a brain you'd click any of the servers and you see that they do list bots when there are here.
Here for example, a full server with a spectator bot:
https://www.gametracker.com/server_info/216.86.155.171:27999/
>>334919079
Is this game still using web browser as a client?
>>334923087
No, it's Steam-only now and has one time fee of 10$.
Used to be F2P for basic features and maps, but a lot of content was locked behind monthly/quarterly/yearly subscription before Steam release. They simply changed it to one time fee of 10$ instead.
>>334922078
Thats because nowadays Rails are about 200% easier to hit than back then. Same goes for everything. Just switch to MG to finish
>>334923180
Man, QL has really been a ride model-wise
>>334923382
QL went through like 3 major design changes.
I remember the autohop and loadouts bullshit being the biggest change, good thing they removed that crap.
Too bad the game is still censored though.
>>334923382
it's quite a feat how badly they mismanaged the business side compared to the technical engine, qol, and game additions.
>>334923429
sarge cigar when
The only thing that could make QL worthwhile would be actually removing censorship, releasing Linux build, releasing server files and allowing modding.
Bethesda will never do any of these things though.
>>334923429
Mmm... surprised there is no way to bring it back now that custom servers are a thing?
I
>>334923616
Well, its inline with the changes they have made lately. But probably too much work for too little profit
>>334923783
Heck I could settle for just censorship removal and mod support.
>>334924048
>censorship removal
If you actually like the game or even play it at a competative level you wouldnt even care about the fact theres no blood. if you play it at a competative level you'd disable the blood anyway because it literally covers the screen with it so you cant even see enemys
>>334919079
i won't spend money on a game i previously hadn't spent a nickle on.
REFLEX BOTS WHEN
>>334924559
I don't care about the ELMGPROMODE2FAST4U shit
I just want to play for fun like I did in internet cafes and on lan parties back in the day, fuck you.
Heck nobody plays UT4 competitively and it's still an incredibly fun game.
The fact you have this retarded "IF ITS NOT ON LKOW DETAILS THNE ITS NOT MUH PRO" attitutde says a lot what a pathetic loser you are.
>>334924689
I hear Call of Duty beckoning your name you fucking casual
>>334924920
And now you're fucking projecting, kill yourself.
>>334919079
So are you going to post a server IP?
>>334919668
There's plenty of not particularly good players. There are certain servers that'll be nice to new/bad players, and some will be cunts about it. Just find the right servers and get to playing, really doesn't take long to get to a level where you won't be getting shit on by everyone.
>>334919079
I would but my net os down and
>australia
>>334920567
I usually call it "current Unreal Tournament" due to it still being in pre-alpha, no known gold release date and not to confuse with first Unreal Tournament (UT99)
>>334926396
The universally accepted names are UT99, UT2004, UT3 and UT4 though.
>>334919916
Ill bet you've never played either and are in the muh patrician taste dicksucker crowd. QL got fucked by bethesda. Q3A and CPMA are dtill good at least.
>>334924689
This also applies to you guys that want to play it for fun as well. If you think the fact that theres no blood makes the game bad literally means you have some interstellar form of autism that no one here can even comprehend.
>>334926538
It makes it bad because it ORIGINALLY HAD IT.
Removing content is not okay, eat shit.
>>334926396
it's easier and better to call it ut4 because it's the next logical increment and is as unambiguous as possible. same with thief 4 and doom 4, one shouldn't let the publishers dictate ones language and discourse. which as cynical as it may be is exactly what they try to do
>>334926538
Yeah I bet Wolfenstein would be fucking fun too without gore and nazis.
Let's remove all visuals from Quake while we're at it and replace it with My Little Pony, after all cosmetics are for casuals, pro players such as yourself only care about muh pro gayprey.
Kill yourself
>>334926535
oh my god the irony
>>334925657
see >>334919870
add me and we'll play
>>334926862
Nigga I played all 3. I regularly play q3a and I played QL just yesterday. . The autohop and loadouts are still in FFA and mobody here was on any other servers. Getting a q3a or cpma game is more work but they play the same as they always have. Personally I just prefer ut4 because it has constant players and ctf sometimes.
>>334926634

>I need gore to enjoy my super mature vidya gaymes!!
>>334927318
>actually approving of MLP
Yep, you are cancer.
>>334927373
>No blood in quake means it's now MLP the game
What the fuck are you on about? I bet you're some piss poor spic from Mexico. Back to the fields Juan Pablo Gomez before the cartel beheads your donkeys.
>>334927318
it was something that added to the atmosphere and gave a healthy weight to the weapons that were used. It's sad to see something cherished get censored, so I think it's legitimate to be upset over it
>>334927373
at the same time, I wouldn't let it prevent me from enjoying the game and keep playing
>>334927204
>>334919870
>South Yorkshire, United Kingdom (Great Britain)
I'm in America, or else I would.
>>334927287
i've never been on a server with loadouts. i just checked the server browser and could find no games with loadouts enabled though some ffa servers had item timers on.
>>334927583
You sir are correct.
>You sir
so is anyone actually gonna play?
>>334927909
add me >>334919870
>>334927583
Amen. Its a shame its gone. But its such a minor thing to remove that it has zero impact on the game as a whole
>>334927909
Sure, but in like 5 hours. If you can wait that long.
>>334919546
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>334919870
>1,370 Hours played
Where did it all go so horribly wrong? Was UT3 the start of the decline?
>>334928217
It spawned tons of great mods though.
Sadly, all deserted.
>>334928217
IP polloution from gears of war. Cliffy B having a hardon for the 360
>>334928217
>UT3
You mean Gears of Tournament?
>>334928217
UT4 is great, runs on toasters, no casualization, and is completely free. Try it out.
>>334930161
I have tried it out, it's pretty fun
>>334930113
>pic related
>>334924669
This. I just want bots that run around in circles. Let me jump through the maps, maintain and improve my movement, and occasionally try to hit a shot at SOMETHING.
Instead we got skyboxes.
