"We took the site down for about an hour today to implement changes that allow us to now re-enable most statistics reporting. The one element of stats that we are not re-enabling immediately is the specific data tied to each individual frag (i.e. what weapon was used, what items you were carrying, who you fragged, etc.). We do however intend to re-enable these frag specific stats very soon after evaluating back-end performance. The only side effects of this specific set of stats being disabled is that you won't see weapon specific frag counts in your statistics page or in the individual game details views, and we've temporarily hidden about 25 of our more than 80 awards - these 25 relate specifically to individual frag statistics. If you had earned an award (prior to us disabling stats) that is now hidden, when we start reporting those stats again, your award will re-appear and you won't need to re-earn it."

"As the 12 contestants share a loft in downtown Los Angeles, they will be tested in real-life challenges inspired by best-selling game titles, compete in the video games themselves, and ultimately must avoid elimination in head-to-head battles in an arena filled with hundreds of spectators. Ultimately, the player who is versatile and strategic enough to best their opponents in both the real-life and virtual gaming worlds will emerge as the WCG Ultimate Gamer."

Excerpt:.
..... the game is very good, in fact, it’s better than very good, at its height, its great and I haven’t been able to say that about a competitive game in some time. It feels refined and it bloody well should do, it’s been beta tested by most of the hardcore quake players from the last 10 years for many, many months. If it fails to take off, it may well be the last time iD comes knocking on the competitive players doors for feedback on their games. That said, last time they asked for our help, they ended up making a much better version of Quake 4 than Raven produced out of the box, so we have good history on our side.
