Quake III Arena/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • And the Fandom Rejoiced: The inclusion of fan-favourite third-party maps such as Bloodrun in Live.
  • Epileptic Trees: Is Sarge, the supposedly main character of the game, B.J.Blazkowicz himself?
  • Fandom Rivalry: With Unreal Tournament, again, and to day debates still rage about which one was the superior FPS. It's a friendlier rivalry than most though, and many of each game's players also frequent the other.
  • Game Breaker: The three new weapons from Team Arena: the Nailgun, the Chaingun and the Prox Launcher.
  • Most Annoying Sound: "You have taken the lead! You are tied for the lead! You have lost the lead! You are tied for the lead! You have lost the lead! You are tied for the lead! You have taken the lead! You are tied for the lead! You have taken the lead! You are tied for the lead! You have lost the lead! You are tied for the lead! You have lost the lead! You are tied for the lead! You have taken the lead! You are tied for the lead! You have taken the lead! You are tied for the lead! You have lost the lead! You are tied for the lead! You have lost the lead! You are tied for the lead! You have taken the lead! You are tied for the lead!"
  • Nausea Fuel:

Cadavre: I let you hit me because I like to watch the pus run.

  • Ruined FOREVER: We have to pay to get cooler levels in Live such as Aerowalk? IT SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!!!
  • That One Boss: Xaero. To summarize, he takes the Railgun and ALWAYS HIT, and if he's close to you, he can simply waste you with the BFG or the Rocket Launcher. Oh, and did we mention that he's hard to hit? Try playing in Nightmare.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Every single change made to Quake Live inevitably leads to dozens of forum posts complaining about the change, even if it arguably leads to better balance, and even if the complainers have nothing better to back up their opinions with than "It belongs that way".
