Quakeworld (the greatest FPS ever? ... and free. )

So, any Quakeworld players here? It really is an awesome game, in my opinion.... fast, lots of skill, and strategy(though I don't have a lot of skill or strat :P)

You can get it free here (and no, you do not need any other quake game for multi). It only comes with part of the single player, but it's the multi that matters :P The community is pretty small, but it is pretty cool playing the same people every night. And some of the players are really good, so it is not very hard to find some highly skilled players. And here are some cool QW video's to hopefully get you to try it, if you weren't already planning on it:

DDE3 (warning: music may be a turn off, so mute if you have to)

For actual matches(with commentary):

QuakePhil (if you look to his latest uploads vs. shrugger, that is me(the one getting owned) :P)

And here is a frag I did:

Link(may not be much, but I am proud of it :P)

Please check out this game... it seams like it may be on its last legs here in North America. And no, I am not one of those people who has been playing for years and can't move on. I didn't start until sometime last year.

And if you do, PM me, and we can set some friendly matches up :D QW can be very overwhelming at first)

Oh, and one last thing: Use this site to find servers. DO NOT rely on the in game server list. Need anything else and just go to #qwrookie on Quaknet(IRC), or just PM me

There has got to be at least one person here who has played the game, no? Or someone who has an opinion on the vid's I posted? :?

Well, right now I'm playing Quake Live. What are the differences? You can play Quake Live free here: www.quakelive.com

Stat tracking and everything. Awesome game.

I played Quake1 (mostly TF) back in the day. Played daily for a few years until the servers I frequented started dying and I moved on. Loved it. Was my first real multiplayer game and the best early multiplayer game paving the way for Quake2/HL1, etc. I went back to it every few months/years, haven't played in ages however. My fondest online gaming experiences are from Quake1.

Cool vid. *Almost* tempts me to give it another try.

Oh, I actually got reply's O_O Anyways, yes I know about quake live... I have put 100's of hours into it actually :P (shrugger)

But this is very different. Different maps(mostly), weapons work differently(and no rail), and a lot faster. They are different games, and there is no reason to play one over the other. I personally, seam to go in phases. Right now, I prefer QW over QL.

QW is basically Q1 but with different physics(from what I understand). Bunny hopping makes the game a whole lot faster.

edit: Btw, if you do get it, use that quakeserver site I liked in the OP, and type "connect *insert ip from site*" without quotation marks.

Question: I heard Quake Live was sanitized of blood? Is that correct?zomglolcats
