just a couple things for people starting out: this game is really bad without pro or premium. I mean you can still play it, but the map selection is next to garbage. Generally the maps you want to play on for duel include t7, ztn, hub, hektik, dm13, toxicity, and several others you'll come across as you play more. With ca, you see maps like t6, dm6, trinity, etc. There's also that one map with the giant platform in the front of the map whose name I always forget.

Anyways, tdm is dead beyond belief for pubs. It'll probably take several days before you get a game going on in a pub. Your best bet is to join irc or get some friends and do a pug. CTF is a little better than tdm but same thing: best way to play it is pug. FFA isusually active but not as much as CA, however, ffa pugs are rare. CA pugs exist but not too many people play them, but goddamn are the ca pubs active. Duel is the exception to everything. Although it can be inactive sometimes, you can always pick up a friend and play.

there's a learning curve that you have to get over, but quake isn't as daunting as it may seem. Don't expect to ever play comp though, besides the occassional 25 dollar prize ones or something. The pros have been playing this game for 15 years.

edit: OVERKILLLLL

I like playing CA and duel (suck at everything but ztn though x.x), joined the steam group
Username is doze. It would be awesome to play some TFTV-pug CTF or TDM!

I remember trying to get some of my T:A buddies into QL. Problem with that ended up being the fact that only three of us had past arena shooter experience and one guy got real buttpained and we had to call it quits to avoid a group schism. Come to think of it, he was also the reason why the same thing happened when we tried to play NS2.

That aside, playing QL will probably go far in scraping the rust off. QL shenanigans are usually fun and hopefully the skill discrepancy isn't too big. Railgun instagib CTF is loads of fun, especially on REALLY bad maps like japanesecastles or maps with painfully long sightlines like Skyward.

Just invited a bunch of people to the QL Clan. Really looking forward to more users. We have 12 atm, so, enough for a ctf pickup. So, join the group if you haven't already, and maybe we can get something started soon.

I'm on QL as dancenumbah. I'm pretty new at the game and don't really understand alot of it but i'd be down to play.

erenjay , will have >100 ping though :/

I used to have a pro account. I actually paid 50 dollars a year for it. All I can say is that I felt like they treated me badly, and I didn't renew.

Kinda shit right now, but I bought pro membership and I'm actively trying to improve.

Fairly big necro post (sorry). Was wondering what config generator everyone uses(used?) here. I haven't played this game in a good couple of years, and all I've got lying around is rep's config which is wonky as hell.

Just stuff for picmip, forcemodel and all that jazz mostly. A tidy hud recommendation wouldn't go astray, either.

EDIT: I'm an idiot. It seems since I haven't deleted my appdata folder in 3 years, I still have my config. Though I'm still looking for any decent minimalist hud suggestions if anyone has one.

#82, I like yz50's QL hud, you can find it in the description of one of his quake live videos

I like this HUD: http://qlhud.net/hud/Fq0018

As for config, this was really helpful to me: http://emsixteen.wordpress.com/2011/05/14/ (SEMI-COMPREHENSIVE

I've been playing a bit more lately. Quake 3/Live CTF is the best shit in the world, but I enjoy duels, too.

If we got in-house 4v4 CTF, I would spray cum everywhere.

A friend of mine had me download cpma but then we never played it together. I'd love to actually do that sometime or maybe do some quake live too. I don't remember my account name off the top of my head and I'm posting this on my phone.

my username is Awful_.

you beat me 26-2 that one day :[ or something like that

stermy's hud's still the best i've ever seen in terms of minimalism/keeping with the theme of the default huds.

Been playing alot of Q3 cpma. Quite fun since its kinda fast paced.
