yeah sick game, but its weird how most of the frags were standard frags. sure he had some sick rails but most of them was just nothing special. that's what happens when you relax I guess.

I'd love to play some duels with some people here. I really really don't like playing random people on servers because I find it to be a little too "serious" for my tastes. That and everyone is so good anyways.

I have a general idea on how to play, I just haven't ever played against a human 1v1 so only newbies please.

Every newbie should now head to http://www.quakelive.com and try out FREEZETAG

I can't stress this enough, quakelive is a game with one of the steepest learning curves out there and most people tend to get scared off by it, but it's very often different with FT as it allows for other ways of contributing to the team. Besides, the lower skill servers are currently filled with newbies!

I have to admit that besides Dueling [and I can't really recommend duel to a newbie], I had more fun than I've had in at least a few months while pubbing in freezetag, its the best public game mode ever IMHO.

I love Overkill for Clan Arena, 3v3-5v5.

It might be my favorite CA map.

I played this for a few days and I must say how in the hell can everyone and their dog have such good aim? I keep getting 1 shot by a damn shotgun while unloading like 5 shots into the guy and he won't die

I'm just gonna stick with TF2 cause this game is way too damn fast and I can't live more than 30 seconds without getting my head blown off.

Just join a duel server and have your friend follow you. Nobody should bother you, and if they do just tell them you are dueling a friend.

You can make private servers to play on if either one of you have a Pro account also.

Dont forget there are Players around who play Quake since 10 Years... Ofcourse they wipe the Floor with Newcomers :D

This Game has a very steep learning Curve and even after so many Years of Playing there is still Room for Improvements. But thats also the reason why this Game is so f*kin Awesome.
It never really gets Old!

Just dont give up and keep Playing and in a few Months you will run rampart on the Noobservers :D

Tips for Beginners:

Get a good Config <<<---
Play ClanArena or Free for All.
Stay away from Duel Servers until you get the Feeling for the Game.
Spectate good Players and learn from them.

Get a good Config

CONFIG FILES

All of your setup information is stored in a .cfg file, if you start
quake3 and there are no cfg files in it's baseq3 folder then it
generates a default qzconfig.cfg file for you. Everything in it can be
altered with a normal text editor, though if you open the generated ones
it may look wrong as it is in linux format so it will seem to be all on
one line with notepad, a good editor like notepad++ will have no
problem with it. The settings in the cfg file
relate directly to the console commands, so if you know the console, you can write a cfg, and vice versa.

Quakelive puts its cfg files into -
(copy and paste exactly into address bar of explorer, or start-> run dialog )

Vista/win7 -
%AppData%\..\LocalLow\id Software\quakelive\home\baseq3
XP -
%appdata%\id Software\quakelive\home\baseq3
Linux -
~/.quakelive/quakelive/home/baseq3/
OSX -
~/Library/Application\ Support/Quakelive/
They are plain txt files you can open and edit with notepad / notepad++ etc.

Each line takes one command usually, and you can comment out any line with // at the beginning.

It is not a good idea to change the qzconfig.cfg, as every time you quit quake it re-writes this file, a crash may corrupt it.

When QL loads up, it looks for, and then loads the files qzconfig.cfg,
and then, if it exists, autoexec.cfg from the directory of the currently
running mod.

More advanced users may like to create YourName.cfg in the same
directory with all your permanent settings & scripts , and just have
'exec YourName.cfg' in autoexec.cfg

\Exec name.cfg is the console command to run a config.

For simplicity in quakelive, and as their aren't different mod
directories I have just been using the command 'writeconfig autoexec' to
dump out whatever my current cfg is, to a file that wont be overwritten
by the game, that gets loaded up automatically.

For more info and examples I advise you to read the The Ultimate Quake Live Guide
