There will be a quake alpha in 3 weeks.


It will be deathmatch only and will


include at least 3 weapons. It will have sound


and the levels will be designed around a deathmatch


environment. The amount of players


allowed to play in the game is uncertain as of


now. Who knows, Id might just release the


shareware in 3 weeks....They might be lying


to us in a good way..=)


This info came straight from iD.


DDT and Romero visited #quake and posted it.
