Hi all. After a break of some months I started to play QuakeLive again the other day. I play TDM pickups mostly because that's one of my favourite mode and because I don't have the balls to duel.

Anyway, strangely enough my game didn't decrease so much (I wasn't good so it couldn't really go lower) and I think I even improve in certain aspects of the game.

Still, I often make huge mistakes and even if it's not as frequent as it was in the past, I end up sometimes with a -15 net score or even worse. I think it's due to a lack of skill for some fights (I eat a lot of direct rockets) but also to a lack of good positionning and team awareness.

In order to improve, I'd like to ask some good players I often see in pickups like dibbe_, 421, oldsplatterhands (or whatever your name is now), czm, noctis (only saw him once), analyzer and all those I forget, to record one or two pickups game and give me a link in the comments of that thread if possible.

Also, any advise you can think of when it comes to positionning (is it important to keep a position for the whole match, what do when respawning, etc.) and team awareness (is it important to stick with teamates often, etc.) is welcome.
