Nostalgia Express (quake live)

Has anyone tried out quake live? I was a huge quake 1 2 & 3 fan back in the day and playing for the first time since.. god knows when... was AWESOME.

The weapons are balanced, the gameplay is lightning fast and the maps are awesome. It really made me appreciate how much I love PC gaming... it also made me realize how bad I have become at FPS's.

I am glad new gamers will get to try out FPS gaming at it's finest. (although quake 2 is the better quake, quake 3 is still great)

I've had a lot of trouble playing the game, but the times I actually got in I was loving it. btw: funny to see a fellow Quake 2 lover. It was my very first multiplayer FPS experience and it still ranks amongst one of my highest. I think the weapons and level design were much better than in Quake 3. _Pedro_

Last night the queue was 40 deep, no lag, no crashes...

But ya, I can remember hosting my own server and my friend connecting via my IP addy, and we would play quake 2 COOP. SO much fun!

OOOH! And remember the AMAZING mods? Action Quake? Quake 2 Lithium? Weapons Factory? Jailbreak? CTF mods?

I totally agree about the weapons and maps in quake 2. I am not a fan of the q3 submachine gun, lightning gun, ooze shooter or the electric ball fast gun. Gimme a q2 railgun, rocketlauncher and shotty over any of those guns.
