Quake Live public beta coming Feb. 24

I think this is the equivalent of WOW for Id fans.

Poor stick arena is going to be so lonely after this.

Been in the beta for a LONG while, and still haven't found a way to do it. Perhaps I'm just missing the obvious.
Quick search of the beta forums comes up with this: (11/2008)
"We do plan to offer customized servers eventually. We are not discussing when that feature will be available, or exactly what will be included. But here are a number of things we are pretty sure to offer:

- private servers, protected by a password (or similar mechanism)
- friends only server / invitation only games
- customized settings. this includes (not limited to): fraglimit, timelimit, max clients, map selection, all the various damage and respawn settings

Again, we are not giving any timeline on this. But we want to make sure you all know what things we are working on."

Cool thanks, I want to play people in my office and lunch and I don't want to get wiped out by randoms. Really hope they implement this.

You download their little installer for a browser plugin, and it will update your game with maps, etc. It will also install Punkbuster in the background, which is annoying as I try to keep my active processes to a minimum, and it seems to mess up (for me at least) a lot. Can't even play any games atm.

Thanks for the info. What browsers do the plugin support?

Firefox and Internet Explorer for sure, not sure about anything else.

Capcom vs Thundercats = awesome.
Throw some Silverhawks into the mix and that'd be a game I buy on release day.
On topic: Gonna have to check this out. I loved me some Quake III Arena deathmatching back in the day.

I just played my first games in probably 5 or 6 years. After spending awhile setting up my binds to what I used to use, it just felt like going home...

Reminds me that shooters don't have to be overly complicated to be fun.

no ra3 but there is Clan Arena gametype. it's the closest we can get for now.

this is pretty much all i play lately.. however you have 200H/200armor and rail only does 80dmg, so it's a little different.
