Map 5 of 6: Courtyard Conundrum

June 13, 2009 4 comments Article

Map 5 of the 6 new maps in 6 weeks is another old map. Unless you played Quake 3 OSPCPMA CTF Pick-ups or Leagues then you may not recognise Courtyard Conundrum AKA q3w2 except in a frag video. Courtyard Conundrum was a staple of the CTF leagues and pick-ups, loved by some and sometimes overlooked by others. The map is fairly balanced and I can see there are changes* being made from the screenshots that Id have released. This is a map you’ll have to know.

ESL.eu Quake Live Duel Springleague

March 9, 2009 No comments Article

esl-europeAfter having recently launched a Quake Live ladder, ESL.eu yesterday announced their Quake Live spring league, which will run from 30 March to 31 May.

A league system is different from the ladder format though, so allow me to explain the system for those who are not familiar with it yet.

Groupstage

After having signed up, all competitors are being placed into several groups. Each player has to play against all other players in their group. If you win a match against a player, you get points. If you win enough matches and end near the top of your group, you advance to the playoffs.

The playoffs

Once you reach the playoffs all players will be organized into brackets. From now on, if you’re knocked out, you’re out of the league. Read More

Quake Live Public Beta Is Here!

February 25, 2009 6 comments Article

quake-live-public-betaAs reported earlier this week, the Quake Live open beta is released today! The Quake Live closed beta website permanently shut down about 36 hours ago to prepare for the grand opening. All we could see these last few hours was a timer, slowly counting down to 0.

A lot of questions remained unanswered. The id software developers have done a great job teasing the community during the closed beta. Right before the site went offline, we were able to find a forum post by the developers, revealing very interesting information. Read More

quake-live-pollTwo weeks ago we did a poll here where we asked about your Quake Live FOV. Nearly 400 people voted and the clear winner, with over 40% of the votes, was the 101 – 110 FOV setting.

Today we’re going to continue the trend of having a regular poll. This time we’re curious enough to ask you all how much time you spend every week playing Quake Live.

Quake Live is growing fast! But this just the beginning

February 12, 2009 3 comments Article

quake-live-growingIt’s been nearly 1,5 years since the Quake Live project was announced during the 2007 Quakecon event, and a lot has happened since that day.

The name Quake Zero changed to Quake Live due to a domain squatter, a closed beta was launched and a Quake Live tournament was held at Quakecon in 2008.

Today however it seems like Quake Live has reached a new milestone in it’s development. Read More

Quake Live goes Twitter? Holysh1t.net Follows!

February 9, 2009 2 comments Article

quake-live-twitter1Some of you may have read in the most recent news update that Quake Live is now using Twitter.

Wait… what? You can’t say that! You’re breaking the beta Non Disclosure Agreement!

Well, not exactly. Twitter is a public feed. Just do a little search in Google for “Quake Live Twitter” and you’ll see that these updates are not private and they are there for everyone to follow.

Ok then. But what exactly is this “Twitter” You’re talking about?

Twitter has been the internet hype of 2008. The Twitter system is similar to “Facebook updates”, and to be honest, that’s really the only thing twitter does: keep people updated about random activities in a short sentence of maximum 180 characters. Read More
