Better than Q3A in the following ways:
Easily customisable to change some of the shitness of Q3A: remove headbob, remove gunbob, centre weapon etc etc.
Finally fixed fucking damage feedback so it actually works.
Hud isn't as terrible.
The movement feel doesn't seem quite as bad, still a bit lacking in air control but not as vague and floaty as before.
New maps are mostly really good, ZtnDM3, Asylum, thingy Towers especially.
It's also, unlike Q3A, definitely worth the money :)
However bouncing items are still shitty, and some player skins are almost invisible in more highly textured maps.
Anyway. I am on as Shamblerrr. I suck, so if anyone else does, befriend me and let's suck together ^_~

Cool Thread

I have invited you to be my freind so that we can blow the shit up out of eachother :)
Also there are servers in Maidenhead so I will prob get a semi reasonable ping playing against you.......
Maybe.
Fucking Virgin Broadband is throttling my Steam downloads to 60KB/s. I think im gonna go back to Sky, and get Sky TV too! :)
I know its the ISP because I just took my box to another connection (BT) and its now d/loading at 760KB/s.
Anyway QuakeLIVE is usually OK if utorrent aint running, so it should be cool

Friended a bunch a peeps on here already, and lost horribly to Vondur a while ago in a 1v1. Old man's got some skills he does.

I haven't played QL for months. Didn't know there're still some of you guys active. Might give it try, though I'll probably suck hardest.
Sounds Like A Blo-jo Contest...

That sounds wank. There's a balance to be had between good stylistic appeal, and efficient playing graphics, and a load of homogenous bright green skins is nowhere near that balance (and nor is flat textures...).
Heh.
#11 posted by Shambler [86.25.222.158] on 2010/02/24 23:01:28
I played against Spirit. Didn't lose too bad ;).
I've realised something else that's a distinct improvement over Q3A - the bot skills are a lot more sensible. In Q3A itself an increase in bot skill meant only two things: disproportionate increase in accuracy and disproportionate increase in reaction speed. In Q3Live the skill increase is more balanced, the bots become noticably more agile and have better movement tactics (not following around corners / through teles etc). Which is nice. They're still cunts tho.
:o

your view on the game is severely limited, from your description. It's indeed worse than vq3 from my POV. But then again, it's fine for ffa because the changes are kinda subtle.
Bummer.

Bots. Didn't find them to be better than in Q3A. They are just as predictable, and sometimes stupid.
Most FFA servers have too many player slots in relation to the maps' sizes.
Still fun for some time. A func_teamDM might be nice.
Yeah!

Btw if someone has weird lags and the mouse locks, set your processor to a fixed speed.
If you are on Linux and get funky characters ingame (and get kicked for that), then you have a more modern libpng than QL uses: LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libpng12... /usr/bin/firefox

I'd love to see megAmAn blow the fuck out of Shamblerrrrr on Quake Live.
You guys tell me when you're playing, name a time and date, and I'll watch and heckle :D
Why?
#19 posted by Shambler [86.25.222.158] on 2010/02/25 15:59:48
The quality of a game is irrespective of the skill of a person playing it.
E.g. Quake DM is brilliant whether you're a n00b like me or whether you're Thresh.
Anyway.

Less beef.
Play with schpirit, negke and Zwiffle so far. Neggers and I are well matched!
The new maps are good. Ummm. Yeah.

I cheated in the bunny hall by rocket jumping through it. I can't really bunny tho.
Yeah...
#26 posted by metlslime [173.11.92.50] on 2010/02/25 22:38:08
i used rockets to get through that expert gate. I don't think it's cheating, if you can exploit the game to get through the gate, then you are probably an "expert."

Just played a little, and I suck too, so sign me up :-)
I like how easy it is to get playing with people of a similar skill level, makes QL a nice 'relax for a few minutes' type of game. The maps are nice to look at as well.
This Game Is Annoying
#32 posted by negke [88.70.240.144] on 2010/03/04 11:51:35
Glad to see the match making works for you, it certainly does not for me. Apparently I was quite good once upon a time, so now in most of the 'skill matched' games I find, the players beat the crap out of me. Sure, I suck (blame all the slow and autoaim modern games) and, yes, there surely are countless higher-ranked players who play on lower-skill servers, but even despite that there still seems to be something off here. They also seem to have changed something about weapon balance and movement compared to Q3A.
So, we could have some Func games every now and then - certainly more enjoyable than being owned by random internet twats.
Hmm
