Good questions, no superhero bs.

I´ll be rooting for mikes in the tournament. Even in bad shape he deserves it because of the memory of old matches (especially CPL Cologne).

Also nice questions/answers, he seems quite honest :c

Ok, ive been out of the loop for a long while, but since when did everyone start referring to the maps by their full name rather than the map number? Fuck if i know which one is dm14. *shrug*

Thanks, that is useful but why change what aint broke. Makes an old man confused. :(

the official change was almost a year ago i think and people have been using it more and more

Any idea why though? Is it more noob friendly or something?

The map files themselves are actually called bloodrun.pak now.

It has replaced what is pretty much an antiquated system with one that's noob friendly sure but makes a lot more sense.

Blood run, campgrounds, Deep Inside...much better :-)

Much better for whom?

Do you want 'noob friendly' regenerating health and autoaim in quake as well, my american friend?

How did you even manage to write that post with xbox controller?

I don't like it either, but it's just a small almost unnoticable change, right :/

If you want to have some ultra elite game go play CPM or Warsow

For quake live to survive it needs to appeal to modern gamers, not all these nerdy 20-somethings on this site

everything should be noob friendly as long as it doesn't change the gameplay

noob

It had something to do with the callvote map command. If you press tab, the name of the map gets auto-completed, kinda useless if all maps are qzdm#

Because calling maps by numbers is stupid, Mr. ESR userid 10707.

cause iD threw away those map numbers and new maps don\t even have map id at all, so it was kinda bound to happen.

Every answer is correct.

wish the interviewer had more eye for the answers and the ability go in-depth in some cases rather than sticking to pre-made questions. or maybe i'm just assuming the interview was done via irc etc. and not by e-mail.

"but in TDM it has killed many aspects which I really liked." maybe i can read between the lines from other answers, so is he referring to the fact that the game is more aim heavy and it has killed or nerfed tactical defensive play? i wish he could've stated what aspects have been killed and by wich changes.

nice read nonetheless

it was done in email =[

A russian who speaks english well. Amen!
