Quake Live is now B2P for EVER! and its steam only

[duoranger]

thats it, if you had a QL account already linked on steam, the game is now Free 4 EVER for you, new players still has to play 9,99 to play it

Quake Live? on Steam

[Grim Warlock]

Apparently a gibs DLC was coming, wonder when.

I believe if you email quake live support, you can get a Steam Key for QL if you had a non-steam account before.

After some evaluation I gotta say I like this way more than the subscription model. I can vote again, play all the cool maps, great. Interface and everything is also better. For me this was a good move.

Just checked it out and honestly I don't have much to say, it's quake live. Which I really didn't enjoy outside of duel after the weird loadout/auto strafejump patch

and if I can start my own servers now I might be inclined to play it

[Grim Warlock]

Are there any Australians here who would know how to host a server? I tried, and failed.

@Mindf!3ldzX:

Vain hope, I suppose. I'm thinking (hoping) that the Steam Workshop integration may encourage different players to create some stuff - and you never know what might come of that.

[Grim Warlock]

I can understand why people are annoyed about it, I don't see how it's worse than subscriptions though. Now you only buy it once and you can start servers, etc. without having to pay monthly/yearly or whatever.

I like that they finally implemented Classic CTF where random runes drop and you have the grappling hook. Too bad that a lot of the player base where I am I think seems to prefer CA more than anything.

thanks for answering my questions

it looks like I will have to free up some space, gone are the days where a game would take 2-3 gigabites or a game like quake at about 1gb

anyway, ut looks pretty good and I will put it on my computer

now as for quakelive, maybe they will get rid of the 10dollar or at least make it 5, 4.99-sounds a bit more feasible...

Im not sure if I sound like a cheapskate or not lol but I dont think it should be charged at all, or at least less.. Im sure, im not the only one here lol i mean, the company doesnt have enough profits to keep this going for free, from the other games they sell?

i think it was a great promotional thing to introduce others to FPS's then they could buy the other id FPS'es or other bethesda games..

anyway, I dont know whats going on over there (bethesda and id) but ... err, currently looking for some free fps when q1 servers are empty, which of course, I check first

...or maybeee... quake1 could get more players, since quake1 is free to play(online).. maybe something good would come out of this after all

[dfsp_spirit]

I want to but maybe i get on too late.. or too tired

anyway,
-does that ut have offline bots to play with?
-how much disk space do I need for it?
-where are the system reqs? I cant find the page for it
and when will it be finished? I looked a bit on the forums but didnt find much..

thanks

1) yes
2) tons (I also have the dev kit installed, and its hard to tell apart. Alltogether its 22 GB. It seems the game is 10 GB and the dev stuff 12 GB, but I'm not 100% sure)
3) dunno, just try it, alpha is free: https://www.unrealtournament.com/ My box is pretty old (i5 2400 CPU, Radeon HD 6800) and it works great.

The gameplay feels very oldschool though. If you liked UT, you are gonna like it. If not, maybe not.

Hitler finds out Quake Live isn't free anymore. - Caption Generator

^ This sums it up nicely.

@PFL , a second wind from where? I can't see this game even getting 1/5th of its playerbase back.

I think it could be interesting to see what happens with the Steam Workshop side of things. Perhaps the game will get a second wind.

more reason to play quake1

[Mindf!3ldzX]

hmm well, what else can I play if the case of 'quake1 servers are empty?' .. any suggestions, Mindz, anyone? When is that free UT coming out? I checked the site, looks like they're only 3 levels or something for that game

There are way more than 3 levels,and its out right now, in Pre-Alpha but for that to be the case, the game is heavily polished,and enjoyable.
