seems pretty dated graphically not sure if i can stoop to that level these days COD4 is about as far back as i can go.

I was excited when they announced it, then they made some updates that casualized the game.
Who thought making auto strafe/hop a feature by making it so you just hold down the space bar a good idea, or let users pick a load out for which they spawn with. Negates the whole point of holding an area or fighting for the weapons.
pretty much spot on.Look at how god awful UT99 looks today and you'll see how well Quake 3 has aged.
I played a lot of Quake Live for a couple years and had a hell of a lot of fun, just got burned out so I haven't played it lately. It's certainly refreshing compared to most everything else on the market. Most shooters I've tried these days, player skill takes a back seat to perks, vehicles, load outs, and horrid net code, making them nothing but frustrating. Unlike a lot of these games, death doesn't come off as arbitrary or inevitable in Quake, it just motivates you to get better.
:Edit: As for the update, it does muck up DM to a rather large degree, but CA is untouched AFAIK.

rofl!! Superior in what ways?? No skill to play...takes skills to play quakelive!!With so many other superior options for shooters, this is one of the biggest reasons that I don't bother playing QL anymore.
this has been out for years, what is the big deal with it coming to steam?
It'll be a big deal in the short term. Steam is the world's most popular distribution for video games, it should see a surge of players right now.
So if anyone wants to get (back) in to the mini-revival of Quake Live, this would be an opportune time.

care to name 'other superior options' for FPS compared to QL?
hahahaha yeah right...
you shouldnt have problems playing EU servers with more than 100ms ping .. try me 1v1. ill play with stock gear, you can have all the cheese stuff. If you get a better KDR than 1:10 i'll reconsider.
why? The game doesn`t hold a candle to QuakeLive..you shouldnt have problems playing EU servers with more than 100ms ping .. try me 1v1. ill play with stock gear, you can have all the cheese stuff. If you get a better KDR than 1:10 i'll reconsider.
All the footage I've seen of the patch shows the load outs allowing lightning gun, rail gun, rocket launcher, or the newly added heavy machine gun as primary weapons.yeah, it's a shame they added loadouts. but atleast its restricted to the lower tier weapons. you still have to find the lightning gun etc...
