Quake Live update 15 march 2011
Id Software released an update today that requires you to reinstall the plugin. Just giving you a heads-up. As usual a few premium maps have been added, one of which some of you might remember quite well from the Christmas period: Distant Screams .This is a stripped down Silent Night. The second map that has been added is a duel map named Toxicity.
Some of the other changes that are notable are the increase in size of the hitboxes. They have added 10% of more enemy to hit. They also switched shotgun back to 100 damage in TDM. Apparantly, the nerf has been changed back (or the buff has been restored, depends on how you look at it). A change that wasn’t really generally asked for by the community, but might be a nice addition, albeit only if you have premium or pro, is the addition of a killbeep. As it is written in the changelog, it will make a distinctive sound when you kill an opponent.
But, the biggest change, that a lot of you where whining for, has finally been put in the website’s interface: you can see what tier you are in! This can be found on the statistics page of your (or anyone’s) profile.
That’s it! Enjoy your update.

Damn, they removed the ability to play Premium/Pro maps in practice mode! However, I like the new ability to see your tiers.
You can still load these maps from the console. This only applies to NEW people or people who have just installed the game again. If you want to keep your maps as a non-premium, backup your folder. There are plenty of tutorials on this site where your config is located. If you move a few folders up and create a backup, you’ll never have to wait for a download again after a format.
