Talking Tired of Quake 4 Calling home???

edit your hosts file to
127.0.0.1 q4master.com
instead of localhost works like a champ!

THAT is a smart answer lol
quality is often better than quantity ?
yes, this game is good. i only play singleplayer, because of my 64k inet im kinda limitated in usage of the MP mode but its a great game, one of my 2005 highlights.

I mean why should you do anything about it? AFAIK it only calls home if you are connected to the internet... Plus, if you're gonna play online, the key is checked anyway. I still think that this "calling home" is only annoying if "your dog ate your key"...
