Yeah fps are crucial to playing this game. You could try Quake III Arena. There's a 4-map free demo download from id-software. Aside from that you want to look at the system settings and reduce display resolution if you can and set simple items and any other graphic-related simplification. Also there's a low audio quality setting.
@vinceXblade no you don't need a very good computer at all. Search on google for a list of console commands to improve perormance. It really helps a lot if your comp isn't cutting it. You can REALLY bring down the graphics to a nearly cell-shaded look.
Interesting what they are saying about the young players coming up. It's obvious that reaction time is better, and of course these young players were playing full on FPS games with mouse + keyboard from the age of 6/7. The oldskool players (26/7 years?) only started maybe in Quakeworld or Quake 2, when they were 16/17. There's the advantage.
I use FOV 120 btw, but the last 3 people who beat me well in 1v1 all use 102 or 105, so I'm thinking of changing. Maybe 110. With a big though 120 is good.
good comment iris, very interesting. i started at the age of 15 or so and peaked around 20. being 27 now - well the time and passion are gone for me to want to play competitively anymore
actually they are not using (HUGE) fov, the ones who are casting are using 110 give or take
it looks horrible(130fov) bcuz this video is WIDESCREEN but for some reason the one who posted this video here didnt set it as it should, if he post it as wide screen u can watch this thing way better
As far as I know most people use FOV 90, but I know for a fact that some competitive (ie "pro") players use 115 or higher (Vo0 is one example). I use 120 myself, on widescreen. Once you get used to it, there's no going back. You trade in some accuracy in the beginning, but eventually you regain that. Mouse control just feels so much less jittery with higher FOV's. The whole game also seems faster because there's more information passing by.
depends what you like, you get better overview with high fov-- but if you got a map with less open halls.. u want a lower fov.. only if you cant play, or donthave time to change fov u should play static..

Could someone plz reply and tell me?
5h0ck3rf13d 2 years ago
That is because they use fovs around 110, that way it seems that you go around the map much faster

it would be great if you could help me with this
i go to load my custom hud in console and type
seta cg_hudfiles '' ui/Sean.cfg'' then
/loadhud
and when i do it say could not find ''ui/sean.cfg''
anyone know what's the problem? sean is the name of my own hud by the way
SeanSchrage 2 years ago
if you use a custom config you need to create a ui directory in ur QL folder, and put ur cfg there.
If it still cant find it then u didnt put it in the right place, or its not named right.

its just the resolution, makes it look weird.
yeah cpma movement is nice, i like q4 too cause the movement is so good.
if quake live only let you run your own FUCKING servers and use mods, it would be worth it.
sadly its just a really limited version of q3
so whats the point? play quake 3 :/

ermonski 3 years ago
Do you know how to move in Quake World? Its very easy because you don't even need to press forward once you get going.
Maybe it feels more difficult because your trying to move in Quake World with a Q3/QL style.

exactly, because I played Q3 before I played QW :)
so it's kinda dificult for me to adjust to QW physics
