id updates QuakeLive, turns on noob mode

[Whiskey 7]

Is it still possible to play the old style game mode?

Apparently there's still servers running "classic mode".

Where?

[Eraser]

So I just tried the new "start with two weapons mode". I actually think it works really well, and helps prevent you getting spawn-raped. You don't spawn with much ammo so you do still need to go find another weapon.

The opposite is true as well, when you run around the map and someone spawns behind you and immediately starts raping you from behind with a rocket launcher.

I don't know. It said so in the forum post I linked to.

also, the easy-peasy strafe-jumping has 'made for console poorons' written all over it

i mean, i was never a master of the SJ, but i was getting there, and now it's all for nothing :/

That's pretty weak, suppose you could also get a spawn rail up the ass which would get annoying fast. Should have just started you with MG + SG, give the classic quake spawn weapon as an option. Starting you with the heavy stuff and the bonus health.

We were having so much fun . My team kept getting killed though, leaving me 3v1 .

[vesp]

I start my QL launcher through steam anyway - overlay etc all there
Stopped playing a while back though, got fed up trying to get decent games of ctf (not noobed up with physics changes etc)

[menkent]

meh, i stopped playing QL when they dumped all the real maps.

you can at-a-glance see who's playing it and join in without website logging on faggotry, for one.
can kill time in this and have steam alerts for chat, alerts, catching folks coming online and other games starting up, for too.

Can I link my Quake Live account to my Steam account somehow, or are all my stats reset?

edit:
apparently you can.

[PhoeniX]

When you login via steam the first option is to link your existing account via your email/password.

Prepare to have to redo all your binds though
