The CPL have announced they intend to have Quake 4 as their official 1v1 tournament in 2006.

Today, the CPL is proud to announce that it is returning to its hardcore gaming roots by selecting id Software's upcoming QUAKE 4® as the primary one-versus-one competition game for the 2006 World Series events.

QUAKE 4 marks the return of id's trademark deathmatch-style multiplayer formula. Online gameplay action in QUAKE 4 is based on the speed, style and overall multiplayer feel found in the popular QUAKE III Arena, and allows gamers to compete in deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture-the-flag, and tournament modes.

In 2001 there was a disagreement between the CPL and id Software, which resulted in the CPL dropping Quake III Arena entirely from their roster in favour of Counter-Strike. The rumoured reasons for this were exclusivity and sponsorship. promoted news item

WTF, announce a game as the main game before it's even released and has been able to be thoroughly tested. Now all we need is for Raven to make some changes before the final release to make it completely unsuitable for, say, 1v1, and completely scew CPL up.

sif refer to yourself in the third person.

wetwired wonders if they will remake edge for Q4

dm6 ftw

Now all we need is for Raven to make some changes before the final release to make it completely unsuitable for, say, 1v1, and completely scew CPL up.

Settle down tiger, it's just an announcment, not a binding contract. Also, why the f*** would Raven feasibly make the game unsuitable for 1v1, there's allready vids out there of Fagtality playing duels with a near identical vibe to q3.

Ohh so that's what happened with Quake 3 around the world....

CPL meant for gaming elite... yet one of the most skill based games gets canned over business bulls***...

Ohh well, always nice to see even the nerds are f***ing morons ^_^

Bit early for support... wonder if they did the same with Doom 3... it's going crazy among the people. =\

Quake World for the Win! Quake 3 Arena for the win!

there's allready vids out there of Fagtality playing duels with a near identical vibe to q3.

What are these vids that you speak of? Links!

fark yes!

all aboard the q4 train!

I might have to come out of retirement.

Interesting interview with Angel Munoz about it:

In Painkiller's agreement we had worldwide exclusive rights for all cash tournaments, although we never prevented an organization from holding a Painkiller tournament. With Quake 4 it made absolutely no sense for us to seek those kind of rights, so we didn't.

Looks like I will have to come out of retirement and carve everyone at ctf again















more like sit on the flag with rail, red armour and mh :o
