Are they still worth playing? The community is mostly dead in NA from what I hear, but is there anyone here that still plays? I'd try getting into it myself but the only people ever around have been playing for years.

I play Quake Live every now and then. It's one of the most difficult games I've ever played, so if you're looking for a challenge it's definitely worth a shot

quake live owns, but don't play ffa. tdm, ctf, or ca are your best bets.

cpma is super fun and much nicer to play than QL, but is dead unless you are already good at it

I played like 50 hours, it was fun but the whole in-browser platform was kind of annoying. Does anyone even play Quake 3 anymore?

Warsow is pretty alright but I prefer quake live, and not many people play it either. But I agree, I don't like the whole "in-game browser" thing.

There's alway QLPrism if you don't like using your regular browser and kinda want to make QL have it's own thing. I still play Quake 3 time to time to get my money's worth, and it feels pretty good too.

cpm is pretty baller

32hzIs the ql sens 1:1 with tf2 sens? so like 5 ql sens is the same as 5 tf2 sens?

I think so. I play with the same sens in both games and they feel practically indentical.

yes id tech sens = source sens. id tech became goldsrc became source.

I play QL and duel with friends pretty often. They're definitely worth getting into simply because it's crazy fun and you don't get that experience anywhere else. If you wanna play QL, CPM or wsw just let me know and I'll play with you.

Also there's xonotic but I don't see any reason to play it when the others exist.

yes, except most people play at a higher FOV in quake than is (now) possible in TF2, so while your cm/360 will be the same with raw input on (m_rawinput 1 / in_mouse 2) it may *feel* different as your pixels/cm will be off

you can download ql prism, which acts like an executable for quake live. also steam overlay works with it. http://www.qlprism.us/
(but you might as well be playing cpma b/c it's like 10k times better)

the physics are much nicer
smoother everything really especially air control, has bunny hopping rather than strafe jumping, instant weapon switch etc
also the hitboxes are the same as q3a as opposed to ql's cylindrical one

toothWhat makes cpma any better, isn't PQL quakelive basically the same thing? (legit question)

It's a little different. I've played both a decent amount and it definitely has a different feel to it, though I can't quite put my finger on it. For some reason airshots are 99% easier in CPMA than in QL/PQL for me.

Also, if anyone ever wants a duel or two: ign = t3tra.

Yeah, I just started ql.

Definitely fun, and pretty challenging :P

Still kind of new to it, but it seems like there aren't a lot of people playing most of the time.

highest dps in the game vs reliability in hitting majority of each shot

I dunno I didn't like the lightning gun at first, but it's just sort of like a necessary evil in quake since it does require very good tracking to use correctly
