Quake Live, well first they called it Quake Zero, but now it's named Quake Live. This is game on which id Software works atm, it will be actually renewed Quake 3, I mean game is going to be based on Quake 3 engine and also all the rest as far as I heard, well the main difference from Quake 3 is that Quake Live will be for free and you will play it in your web-browser, anyone will be able to play from anywhere, almost from any computer with net connection also, since the game has low requirements for computer if you take a look into Quake 3 requirements I expcet same or similar requirement from Quake Live then too so also some oooold ooold compy could run it, not as other new games which are out now and are in development and they want all dual core, high graphics... and more and more and not all population has money to get all that at least not for now when "all" is expensive^^

Bots now can be fooled by feign death.
Sandstorm has more impact on bots being able to acquire/aim at enemies.
the engineer can build stuff: 1. sentry guns (3 levels) 2. dispensers 3. teleporters (entrance and exit)
you can upgrade/repair your sentry gun by whacking it with your wrench (as long as you have metal available, metal can be acquired from ammo boxes, picked-up weapons, dispensers and of course from the resupply closet). other damaged things can also be repaired by whacking them
a dispenser generates metal and can be used to heal yourself (or others) a teleporter is just a teleporter (note: you cannot use a teleporter when you're carrying the intelligence)
the main problem for engineers are spies. they can "sap" your devices, which makes them explode after a few seconds. you can remove a sapper by whacking your device twice (of course this leaves you open to the spy that wants to backstab you while doing that).
TF2 is definately the best game I've played in a long time and has the most humour
