I start my QL launcher through steam anyway - overlay etc all there :)
Stopped playing a while back though, got fed up trying to get decent games of ctf (not noobed up with physics changes etc)

you can at-a-glance see who's playing it and join in without website logging on faggotry, for one.
can kill time in this and have steam alerts for chat, alerts, catching folks coming online and other games starting up, for too.


Can I link my Quake Live account to my Steam account somehow, or are all my stats reset?

edit:
apparently you can.

When you login via steam the first option is to link your existing account via your email/password.

Prepare to have to redo all your binds though >:(

I noticed. What's up with this new heavy machine gun weapon? Seems rather pointless?

I dunno why, but Quake Live suddenly feels very alien to me :(

The old one was always pretty useless though, this seems to do more damage I think?

I quite like the new (compared to vanailla) modes, like domination, single-flag CTF and freeze-tag of course :).

The new passage way on Hearth seems quite good to me. Gives you another escape route!

yeah the MG is pretty decent actually, esp. with quad

we really don't need a damage indicator that looks like it came from Ultimate Street Fighter though. what's next - critical hits?

Having a PC that does not meet the minimum specs for QL, I am unable to play it, so can someone please tell me the specs of the HMG? I'm interested to know what I am missing.

• Damage per shot
• Rate of fire
• Ammo limit
• How much ammo you get per box
• Hitback (i.e. how much it pushes your opponment away - does it relate to the damage done?)
• Is it insta-hit like the MG or is it a projectile weapon (think they said it was a more powerful MG so I'm guessing insta-hit)
• What ammo it uses, is it some new HMG ammo or - this would be wrong if true but - does it use the same ammo as MG?
• What maps have it
• What game modes have it
• How it relates to the Chaingun - where it sits between the MG and the CG
• Screenshot of it
• Video of it in action

These are all things they should have specified on the QL website. :alert:

How does your PC not run QuakeLive? Surely anything in the last 10 years will run it :question: .

lol, DTS

to answer your questions:

* not sure
* same as MG
* 150
* ammo is now generic, so you start with (i think) 100 and get 50 more when you pick up a box but prolly 100 if you're below 100 already
* hitback = negligible
* insta-hit
* ammo - not sure
* most maps have it
* dunno
* less brutal than chain gun
* fuck off
* fuck off even harder
