Apparently there's still servers running "classic mode".

Where?

The opposite is true as well, when you run around the map and someone spawns behind you and immediately starts raping you from behind with a rocket launcher.

That's pretty weak, suppose you could also get a spawn rail up the ass which would get annoying fast. Should have just started you with MG + SG, give the classic quake spawn weapon as an option. Starting you with the heavy stuff and the bonus health. :dork:

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 >:(
