Talk:Quake Live

message: The project was renamed long ago to Quake Live, also there is a beta test now, someone should fix this 68.94.11.132 (talk) 06:19, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Rename

message: According to this interview:  it will be just launched in a web-browser! So the information in the article is incorrect unless someone playing the beta can proof it. 78.48.164.147 (talk) 20:26, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Should this really be labeled a MMOFPS? I think it is a regular FPS with multiplayer support.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.175.66.16 (talk) 02:24, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Just changed it from saying 'will be a free version of Quake III: Arena' to 'Quake III Gold', cause Gold contains the Team Arena expansion pack too - The teaser trailer on the offical site shows the Team Arena way of holding flags, and the Kamikaze powerup.
Someone changed it back to Quake III Arena - I've changed it back again, and make the explanation for my working more blatant. If it changes again, I can't be bothered to fix it. JaffaCakeLover (talk) 11:12, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

message: John Carmack stated in his keynote speech that Quake Live will not support mods. I don't really know how to link to videos, but here is a link to a website that this information appears on.

message: no updates what so ever? i mean... i can understand that there's a no disclosure agreement but something must have surfaced from those responisble. it's kind of depressing. the project feels dead.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.210.119.28 (talk) 10:26, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's still in closed-Beta. When it gets released, info will pour in. Standard procedure. Check forums for uptodate rumours, I'd guess. -- Quiddity (talk) 18:03, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  wha?! this page has been looking the same for ages. 

message: I'm seeing December 31st, 2008 many places.  I'm assuming that is because ID says they'll be releasing in 2009, but I'm wondering if there is any truth to it actually being released then.  Homerspy (talk) 02:05, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Release Dates 

message: I have been lucky enough to be selected for beta-testing, and I can give at least a partial list of weapons.  Machine Gun, Minigun, a Laser Rifle weapon, a Grenade Launcher, a Lightning Gun, a machine gun/sub-machine gun type weapon that shoots energy balls, a Rocket Launcher, Flak Gun type weapon, a melee weapon that is a saw, a shotgun that appears to have a laser pointer when not in a characters hand.  Every weapon except the saw can zoom.  There is currently Capture the Flag, Free for All, and Team Death-Match game types.  Note that this information will probably not be full when the game is actually released. 3bman92 (talk) 02:51, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

message: The article states that Quake Live runs on Windows and Mac. However I'm currently in the Beta and it only runs on Windows and only supports IE and Firefox. 84.46.58.61 (talk) 06:38, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I would assume that this is planned for the final release. ~ | twsx | talkcont | ~ 12:26, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

text: I wouldn't know. Presumably, since they made a plugin for firefox in Windows, they probably will do the same for Mac. However, it would probably be the best idea to ask the developers themselves. I don't know if they feel like answering customer inquiries about features that are still to come, but i'd say that's your best shot. ~ | twsx | talkcont | ~ 13:02, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mac Version? 

message: according to the login version on the beta software, a linux version is in the works as well as a mac version. --66.158.232.98 (talk) 22:44, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Linux version

message: Maybe a mention that the blood has been removed and the gore replaced by sparks, assumingly to avoid advertisers being put off by the gore of regular quake 3.
--94.193.66.60 (talk) 23:09, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: In a lot of the countries Quake Live will be played in blood isn't allowed in games. I guess it was easier for them to completely remove blood and replace with sparks instead of having regional variations. Some clarification probably is needed.

thread_title: Technical details

message: Quake Live is being played in every tournament like QuakeCon and IEM, it is the Quake game to play. and because thats the game major tournaments use, no other tournament is going to pick Quake 3 just because pros arent going to practice 2 different games
its what the pros are playing. no tournament plays Quake 3 anymore. They used to play Quake 4 a little bit, but now its Quake Live only. Seriously. I know what I'm talking about.

replies: text: This needs a reliable source that supports the exact info. It's like Saying "hunting is the biggest, most widespread sport", and then linking to a site that shows a major hunting tournament -- That doesn't support the initial assertion, it just means that a tournament took place. Basically we need a source that explicitly states that Quake Live in the most played game in the Quake series. Whether it's true or not isn't really relevant, because what counts here is verifiability, not truth, so we need a source that is not ambiguous. Eik Corell (talk) 22:49, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it can be seen that Quake 3 and Quake 4 are scarcely played. Clanbase no longer provides competitions for either as far as I can tell. GotFrag indicates coverage mostly of Quake Live. Unrelated to the above, the article could also do with 'Reception' and 'Development' sections. Mephistophelian (talk) 22:56, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

text: Ok, let me explain. Quake 3 and Quake Live are practically the same game but there are enough differences that pros only practice and play one of them. There are a few major tournaments (just look at the games played in the QuakeCon wiki, it goes from QuakeWorld to Quake 2 to Quake 3 to Quake 4 to Quake Live), all of which have been using Quake Live since open beta. That's what the pros are playing, which means that 1) no pro is going to bother playing any other Quake game and 2) no tournament (outside of defrag - a game mode not supported in QL) is going to play anything other than Quake Live. If you look at ESReality, you'll see that. Just think of QL as the latest version of Quake, of course people are using the latest version.  Ice Truck Killer (talk) 02:53, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: QuakeCon doesn't indicate how Quake Live is being approached by other tournaments, third party sponsors and the like. Mephistophelian (talk) 03:03, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Look at ESReality events, its all Quake Live from 2010 on. Seriously, find me a major competitive Quake event thats not using Quake Live. I've provided enough information, and I actually know about this. You and Eik clearly don't know anything about this, or we wouldn't even be having this argument Ice Truck Killer (talk) 05:07, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not arguing, nor is Eik. To make factual and valid edits, you require reliable sources. If you had provided such sources initially, Eik Corell wouldn't have reverted your edits. Mephistophelian (talk) 06:05, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
