House of Quake - Quake LIVE Download, League, Resource & Clan |
Welcome to the House of Quake!, the House of Quake is a general Quake resource. The site was started back in March 2009 by myself Howard "HowHard / WeLLHaRD" Clements-Gilbert. I have played Quake since the very first QTest which got me addicted within an instant. Being able to create your own mods/skins/maps combined with such an awesome gameplay and the best in mutliplayer capabilities.
House of Quake is here to offer the Quake community a site which will continue to grow and grow (even if it takes a while), featuring our own Quake LIVE League the HoQLeagues, Quake LIVE Download including Pro Quake LIVE Config, Tools, Demos and much more. Soon we plan to offer help tutorials and guides for the beginner, novice and 'pro' players for setting up Quake in their own suited way even.

The QuakeWorld European Quake League Summer Break has come to an early end and the signups for Season 12 are now open!
QuakeWorld, yes the original and very first in the Quake series still has a very strong community, there will be plenty of coverage with GTV streams.
The prestigious 4on4 league will start in less than 3 weeks, and will once again use a divisional league structure, allowing for players of all skill-levels to compete. Each division will have it’s own playoff bracket at the end of the season.
Teams and players from all over the world are allowed to participate, although server selection will be weighted towards the European community.
Players without a team can sign up for the Team building initiative set up for this season, players of any skill-level can apply.

ClanBase have announced their Fall 2010 Seasons (a couple of weeks ago  ).
CUPs come in all of the usual varieties:
ClanBase Fall 2010 Cups:
QL EuroCup TDM
QL OpenCup Duel
QL OpenCup TDM
QL OpenCup CTF
QL OpenCup CA
I think all of the ClanBase Fall 2010 Cups plan on starting on the same date, first match week starts Monday 27th September.
House of Quake have decided to start playing less Clan Arena and to try our hands at CTF as we’ve grown a bit bored of CA, so we shall see you all in the ClanBase CTF CUP

Well it seems like the boffins at ID are actually keeping to their promise and are now listening to the public since the recent update which took Quake LIVE out of beta. Since the introduction of the premium and pro subscriptions ID have made weekly updates giving the public what they’ve been asking for. Last weeks update brought in changes like making the servers have 10 slots rather than 12 and the ability to have clan names with characters such as /HoQ/ and them being different to a clan like #HoQ.
This week they’ve brought more fixes the public are asking for:
Today’s update is most notably to address the request and concerns of players who have expressed interest in playing with specific team sizes in team gametypes, such as the ability to play 2v2 Clan Arena, 2v2 Team Deathmatch or 4v4 CTF. Now, up to 16 players may join any game server and the active teamsize will determine how many of those players may participate in the match. This allows you, the players, to decide what you like to play (and more room for spectators to fill in the gaps when players drop)!
While everyone is having fun trying out the new teamsize options, you’ll notice that we now display a teammate’s health and armor status when you hover your crosshair over them so that you may easily identify which teammates need additional health, armor, or assistance. So no more excuses! Be sure to leave that armor for your team’s flag carrier who so badly needs it!

Next week we plan on having another small update with additional fixes and features, followed soon after by our first major Premium content update in mid-September.
Looking forward to the ‘major’ premium content update in mid-September! Keep it up ID!!

| Today (June 22nd) in 1996, ID Software officially released the very first edition of the game we all love, Quake. Although the QTest was originally released on February 24th the official full release was June 22nd 1996. Who’d of thought 14 years down the line we would still be playing this phenomenal game.
Thank you ID Software for making by far the best games ever created. |

A very much needed QuakeLIVE CTF Frag Movie has finally been made, best of all it features an usual but fitting soundtrack. The music might not be to everyone’s tastes but what music is? There’s a serious lack of CTF QL movies out there so thankyou very much Titan for bringing us this one, if anyone finds a direct download for this movie let me know and I shall host a mirror on House of Quake.
