It’s raining duel tournaments these days! Because of the lack of private servers – be patient, they will come sooner or later 😉 – the only game type that is actually doable in terms of running and managing, is duel.
I read on IRC about it this morning and it was posted yesterday on the Quake Live forums, and seeing that in 1 day it has already a decent amount of signups, it’s worth mentioning!
Welcome to the Holysh1t.net CTF Beginner Tutorial, the first in a three-part series. This is meant for those of you who are new to the game, and want to get a quick overview of what you need to know in order to play Quake Live CTF.

Since the previous poll about two weeks ago, it has been established that more than 90% of the people passing by this website think Quake Live is worth a score of at least 3 out of 5.
Today we’re curious to know what type of maps all of you would prefer to see more of in Quake Live.
It was previously said that the creation of new maps in Quake Live would depend on the success of the game.
Seeing how Quake Live received more attention than id software had ever dared to hope upon launch, I can only guess they are taking this as a sign to start mapping even more!
Just to make it even more interesting I also added the qzTRAINING option, even though there’s currently only one map like that and it’s not at all sure id software will ever make more of these.
This poll allows you to select max 2 options and will probably run about 2 weeks.
For a while we’ve been trying to help people with our unofficial Quake Live FAQ page. This page mostly includes general gameplay and customization tips and guides.

Anticipated for several weeks, today the AGP Tour, a project by Jarod “Streetrunner” Reisin, has officially launched its website.
Since the AGP Tour focuses exclusively on Quake Live, this of course is great news.
But what exactly is this AGP Tour you’re talking about?
The AGP (Association of Gaming Professionals) Tour is an organization that mainly caters the professional gamers playing Quake Live duels on a competitive level. More specifically the AGP Tour:
It’s not our tradition to report about news that’s not about Quake Live, but this time we just had to make an exception.
Over the past few weeks DerQuaker.com, together with own3d.tv, organized a Quake 3 movie contest sponsored by Dell. The requirements were that the video was about Quake 3 and lasted no longer than 99 seconds.
The prizes included a Dell Mini 9 Netbook for first place and cash money for all top 3 finishers.
