Wow, that’s wrong on pretty much every level, codger. But thanks for playing anyway.

You guys do know that Quake (which was originally called Doom) is the base game engine for UT right?
UT is just a mod for the Quake engine.

Regarding custom content: every other thread on the QL forums seems to be ‘where is ztn3dm1?!?!?’ or ‘will the threewave maps be in QL?’.

The devs keep saying they are thinking of ways to get custom content in, but obviously the biggest problem with all those user-made Q3 maps is that they don’t have billboards in them.

UT is the better game obv., that’s why all the major LANs, eSport competitions and gaming websites support it etc.

Been playing QL a while in closed and it’s shaping up damn nicely; epecially the backend browser stuff.

It’s so nice to have clan arena and instagib as default gametypes. Still needs freezetag, however.

Also, Quake is way better than UT. It’s easier for a player who is behind to break map control, making duels and TDM games a lot more dynamic.

Just to make it clear people, there are skill tiers in this Quake Live. You can’t play below your tier! After playing for a week or two hopefully all the good players will be in tiers 1-3 and unable to give you grief.
