EA’s password recovery site is just as borked as it was a couple of months ago, so I finally caved in and created a new account. Thanks EA for not letting me use my old e-mail address…

I’ll never spend any money on this game though, *deep breath* as I shortly after buying Spore and spending weeks creating a Dr. Robotnik race I then couldn’t share as a sporecast as the uploader in the game is broken swore to never to give EA any money again.

The first one had no invert view.

No. Invert. View.

It was awful (even in game) — I got into the beta and tried it at work. The general consensus was ‘I’d rather play TF2′ and most people couldn’t figure out why the animations looked so terrible.

Vandelay – Yea, it’s Quake 3…in a browser. It requires it’s own plugin, and last time I checked (3 weeks ago?) the auto-ranking/matchmaking had some issues… Still, should be fun.

I’m waiting for my Beta key.

It should be close.

Yes, just about now.

Any time now.

No? :’(

@heliocentric

Noooo this is bad diffrent = choices = better on some maps

Mind you i don,t like weapons for achivements unless its per round/map, its just not fair for some players to get more choice than others

If keymappings are fixed (in that they remain after logging out and back in) and I can play First Person, I may go back to Battlefield Heroes.

QuakeLive is great fun. :) Like old Q3 days…

Actually, I probably shouldn’t have said either of those things…

I’m in the beta now, can’t disclose anything of course other than the game ROCKS!! And it’s much more stable now than in the previous iteration of the beta.

Although this could be interesting, I am more interested in Quake 3 in a browser. Any word on that yet?

They can even give “different” weapons, as long as not simply better.

For example, larger clip greater recoil etc, just offset the difference.

Looks like Radomaj got there before me.

@Rei Onryou
I think they’ve stated in the past that the only thing you can buy are items that are purely aesthetic. They don’t seem to want to upset the balance of the game by letting people who spend money on it to get a ‘win’ button.
