Quake Tutorial – Part 1 – Settings & Configs

Settings & Configuration:

Here I’m going to give details on what settings I personally use and what I think are the best settings to use in Quake Live, hopefully by now everyone should be using their own configuration files and gone past the urge of using a Professional Players config in the hope that it’ll miraculously improve them within minutes of using this config, so here is a brief introduction and the first of many Tutorials I’m going to bringing to this site and here are the settings in which I would recommend or what I use personally, but as you know it’s all down to personal preference and you can just take my settings to tweak them to satisfy your individual needs.

The AGP’s First Community Vote: Should it be free?

Posted in News No comments

agp-sanctioned-emblem-news

In response to all concerns pertaining to the membership fee’s of the AGP and tournaments, we as a community have a decision to make but I want to make a few things clear:
The AGP is a players association. It is for the players. That is you, the community of Quake Live. We added the online tournaments as a bonus for AGP members but we do not HAVE to sponsor tournaments. This really should be up to you, the community. So, we are having our first public vote on the nature of the AGP, and it is an important one. The current AGP members have majority voted for this to be decided by the community and now I present it to you.

Razer Deathadder Review

razer-logo

The Razer DeathAdder™

Is the mouse I would recommend to any gamer that wants to become better or just simply to improve on aim and movement, overall this is my gamers choice mouse and here are my reasons why.

The Razer Deathadder comes equipped with changeable on the fly 1800dpi Precision that tracks and controls your every movement to precise accuracy, whether you’re a slow controlled gamer who uses a low dpi setting and low sensitivity in game then tracking with this mouse won’t be a problem, the smoothness and precision of the mouse will make you feel like you’re using an aimbot. If you’re a high sensitivity player like myself then again this mouse will suit you down to the ground and here’s why, I personally use 1800dpi, 500hz (polling rate), and even on such high settings I still maintain perfect control and precision that allows me to track my enemies and kill them with ease. It allows me to have the smoothness of tracking someone up close to then instantly switching and doing 180 degree spins and hitting someone at long distance, and thanks to the 3.5G Infrared Sensor it never skips or misses a heart beat, so you can do those fast flick shots without it skipping like other conventional gaming mice.
