Quake Live

[scorp]

Went live earlier today.. Had to wait about 50 minutes in a queue only to reach the download screen, which required a browser restart. Upon rejoining and waiting in another queue for another 50 minutes i found out it doesnt work well with my browser (maybe a plugin problem, everything worked except the mouse pointer ).. However it did run very fast which is a good sign since this game needs a lot of FPS, and secondly my laptop manages to run world of warcraft at about 5 fps, so seeing 30-40fps Quake is a very good sign... Now trying again in a Internet Explorer...

I used to love quake 3, i fear my work productivity is going to nose dive in the next hour..

Wish this queue thing would hurry though, there are noobs that need pwning...

Been waiting 20 mins for a game so far...

They've learnt a lot from XBL on all the friends, skills, etc. Looks really good on that score. Hopefully I'll get a game soon...

[...Mole...]

Number 6993 in the queue apparently

[Mr E]

504 in the queue.

I suspect productivity may go down...

I was in the beta, but it would crash my PC. Shame, because i rocked at it

[Wadeski]

ah, if you were in the beta you cant just keep your login. Damn. Im number 27,000 and change in the queue!

Downloaded the /exe thingy last night, just need to find my mouse...

[Cookie172]

Just had a quick play.. for a few hours

Awesome

Just as I remembered Q3.. so frantic

[A1GOY]

Just did the training stuffs. I enjoyed it. It'll probably be better with actual people, mind.
If you're on it my username there is the same as here!

From the games I played, the matchup system really seemed to work. Games were very close

Edit: I've added you to my friends. Going to sleep now though, so glad I don't have work in the morning

Got a few games in already, i have to say this is simply awesome! It's perfectly quake3, but with more maps, no problems at all with responsiveness, very suprising considering its running in a browser. Wish they would get some more capacity as they seem to be struggling with demand.

Oh happy days!

They've stated that they're trying to ramp up capacity gradually.. it's still only a beta, so I'm assuming the real deal won't even have any queues

[scorp]

I'm getting some bad lag problems actually, being based in HK seemed to have confused its matchmaking, as it initially put me in with UK servers (i presume it is looking at my email address or something).. Nearest servers i can find are in australia were i suffer 400 > 999 ping, unplayable in some cases. Noooo!

23000 in the queue. I guess I won't be playing over lunch then.

[Dizi]

28917 in the queue...

[Luca1973]

32819. Nice.

[Fetchez la vache]

3200 in the queue to download, then after the download and login, start queueing again at #6000 odd.

Better be worth the wait...

[Wadeski]

Waited 15 minutes to play, but it is worth it

my game tag is the same as on here.

If you liked Q3A, you won't be dissapointed.

I've got AL on my twitter feed, and they're honest with thier updates. It's been on and off all day/night, and it'll probably be like that for a fair while. Oh well...
