Quake3World

that site a long time ago, ( I forgot what it was called) where you could check the names, ratings and all stats on every single player that played Q3? I remember the front page would give a figure of so many millions of players worldwide, and whatever name you typed in, tons of the same name or variations of that name would come up. If I put in drummerboy for example, there were loads of drummerboys around the world who were quake3 players. Or if I typed in any other name I'd used on servers, they would come up too and give my stats on all frags, rank, etc. Absolutely any name you could think of was there. I guess it died a long time ago, and the last time I checked it was when I started Q3 in 2002, but I wonder if something like that will be created for quake 4? I think it was run by a professional gaming authority or such like.

Those where the MPlayer stats hosted on this site. Q4 won't ship with such a feature.

I remember destroying emotions and crushing feelings playing ffa on the CLQ's scanned servers..I was the #1 q2 gxmod player for a month sporting an average ping of 374...and I got the papers to prove it.

Back when I was on dialup one of those sites ranked me at #1 in the world at Clan Arena. Only for a day... but on dialup Win.

That's where the legend began folks, I was rocking the clq when your mom was still wiping your nose..

Those tracking systems are pretty flawed though (at least CSports's is). You're not only credited for your own skills but also of the people you're spectating. Mate of mine specced the top players 24/7 for a while and was #1 of the mod he played within two weeks. Not to mention that UnnamedPlayer was the best OSP player for a long time.

What is their tracking system exactly? Poll the server every 5 seconds or something?

theclq was the win, haven't been there in years - might go have to have a look.

I'm among the top 7% on csports. Lies, should be top 1%.

Why is there no trcking like the BF2 stats for q4?

Imagine how great it would be to load up a page, see your player skin, your name, your frags, accuracy, all awards, all other kinds of info, and then share the links with people who suck like duhard?

Basically, yes - though not that often. Once an hour, maybe?
EDIT: nah, must be more often. I'd put my money on once every five to ten minutes.

That was it, the CLQ!
