When a player spawns, he is :

• 100 Health
• 0 Armor
• Gauntlet
• Machinegun + 50 bullets

When a player is fragged, the limbo time is from 0.5 second to 3.5 seconds (depends on the moment when the player performs an action during the limbo time). He respawns (in version > 1.37) with the "Far half from killer" rule. It means that the respawn spot is randomly selected in the opposite half of the map of where the other player is.
In flag based modes, the players respawn randomly between his own base and the middle of the map.

Here is the list of damages caused by the world.

• Falling damage
  • 5 damage for soft falls
  • 10 damage for hard ones (fall with high speed per example)
• Liquid damage
  • Lava : 40 damage/sec
  • Slime : 16 damage/sec
• Drowning damage
  • Starts after 12 seconds under water
  • Damage is cumulative (4/6/8/10... damage/sec)

Here are the variations of speed.

• Crouching : max speed = 80 ups
• Walking : max speed = 160 ups
• Running : max speed = 320 ups
• Double jump window : 400 ms

Differences of weapons from Quake 3 Arena or QuakeLive are part of CPM gameplay, CPM is quicker and harder (don't forget that you spawn with 100/0 only).

The switch from a spawn weapon (most of the time, G or MG) to another weapon is 200ms.

This time of switch is null for the first weapon you grab, you can use it immediatly.

Packs contain current weapon and max of one box of ammo for each weapon in DM, and one "loadout" (the weapon's initial ammo count) for each in team games.

3:1 armour protection means that when 1 unit of damage is dealt to health, 3 are absorbed by armour.

In CPM, armour have specials rules :

• The type of the armour you have just picked set your current armour status, you can't pick a lower armor :
  • If you pick a YA, you have a "YA status" and you can pick a GA only if you are <75 armor.
  • If you pick a RA, you have a "RA status" and you can pick a YA only if you are <133 armor.
• Armour decays only in Clan Arena (CA)

Armor shards are not affected by these rules, they just can't give more than 200 armour. It means that armour status is not changed when you pick some armor shards.

To summarize, here is a picture explaining the behaviour of differents kinds of armor.

Health decays when it is over 100, 1 health unit/second.

There are two types of Mega Health :

• Normal MegaHealth : 20 seconds after wear off (i.e. after player health drops to 100) (CTF and duel only)
• Simple MegaHealth : 35 seconds

Quad Damage (Quad)

Damages *4

Invisibility

Player is invisible (a single blured skull is visible)

Respawn time: 180s (Quad time *2)

The first PU spawns after 15-30 seconds (randomly).

The first PUs are synchronized.

If you use /kill with a PU, time remaining is penalized (2500 ms).

Total time is 30 seconds. If you pick a second PU of the same type, effects are not added, only the time remaining is increased (per example, 10 sec Regen + 30 sec Regen => 40 sec Regen).
