ya i agree the cfg wasn't the best and it was a bit annoying when they did slow mo and it kept flashing the connection error message.
But still i learned a lot from the video and it was very insightful.
That's a problem with the demo, I guess it was recorded from spectators (gtv?). When the connection cuts out the recording floats the players to the next point where it got data, sometimes through walls and shit.
EDIT: Actually watching the video I think I'm totally wrong, they probably did that intentionally so rapha would have time to speak.
yah, too bad hardly anyone of those liked the video though ;) Most were just clicking because they were wondering about the length of it. but well, what to expect from youtube comments really.
I think rapha is the best player caster. Cooller and cypher could be good if not for language barriers (although that's half the appeal with cooller ;p)
duel is really boring, you fight for armors and map instead of fighting for player :/
no wonder why quake is dying, really, who would like to play this ?
Hey, be glad that not everyone is blessed with your retardedness and stunning 40lg at 40cm/360 in ca pubgames. So people who are lacking your amazing abilities enjoy playing this crappy mode called duel and actually use their fucking brains while playing.
You need to play duel to prove the world that you're not retarded. How sad.
Btw, i only play ca cuz i'm bored, i'm not 100% into it like you with duel. Mr serious business.
But yeah sry, i know you're smarter than me and your parents must be very proud of it, but too bad you're still ugly and skinny irl. What about dating a girl with all your duel knowledge ?
anyway, i don't care, CA is crap and ql gameplay is retarded.
Only DA with proper maps, better gfx and cpm gameplay matters. The rest = for retarded people, or ugly & retarded people.
Btw, nice excuse last night when i destroyed you at shaft duel "omg it's 2am i can't hit shit" (c) Insan3.
You just got destroyed 10-3 10-1 10-2 or something, and i wasn't even warmed up, so easy. Your movements were really average and boring, no dodging at all, and your aim, just the same.
? what does our 1on1 at ca have to do with anything?
so i should talk about that last time i raped you 30:5 in duel, your brain we're pretty non-existent and you were damn predictable
first of all it was not 30-5, and then i was playing with music and really cba, but when i focus and play without music, i can assure you that you wouldn't have win. I beat eden sometimes so you shouldn't be pb for me.
But even if you focus 100%, even if you play your best game ever, you won't even beat me at 1on1 CA.
And i said that cuz you don't seem to have a clue about real CA clanwars. If you think that it's all about +back, hide & wait cuz you don't have any reason to beat your opponent, then you're another CA hater follower who think that quake is only about duel. If you ask a good CA team, you would be surprised by the teamplay and positioning you need to be good at CA. Sure at pubs, it's a FFA fest, and at pickups, all you have to do is to regroup or stay behind your m8s, but in real clanwars, with a good CA team, it's quite different. I'm not saying that you need to be Einstein to play CA, far from that, but still, sometimes it can be interesting :).
That said, as i said many time, my favorite gametype isn't CA (at least @ ql).
ca sucks, 'nuff said
and i can beat you @duel with ease
and that other day, i don't think you even made 5 frags tbh, and i also wasn't focusing ( yes i had music too o: )
you say that duel is boring and yet i'm the one acting stupid lmfao :D:D
but i shouldn't have even mentioned clan arena, i never played it competitively so i can't comment on it, i'll have to be a clan and play some wars first =)
Stuff like this where players themselves comment on what they were thinking is, imo, what QL needs to entice less hardcore players into watching the games live.
(edit) though I think rapha just made some things "he was thinking" up on the spot.
Ya i was thinking that abit becuase he has had a while to look back and think about the game but still some of his thinking strategies are just insane.
Still a good idea thought and i was a good watch.
rapha: so when cooller RJed for the YA, I run away and then I listened; and then I listened more and the more I listened I realised that cooller decided to wait for YA and then I said ok ok haha, gg, me goin' for the RA, see ya later sucker!
^ This and stop sighing so much. I know english isn't your first language and you probably do it to give yourself time to translate stuff for yourself, but it makes it seem like you're tired and don't give a fuck.
