The Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) announced today that it will use id Software's Quake 3 as the primary featured one-versus-one game for the soon to be announced CPL 2006 World Season.
This decision should not be regarded as critical towards id software or Raven, but should be considered a compliment of how well Quake 3 has withstood the test of time. The CPL will continue to provide feedback to id software on Quake 4, to help improve its tournament features until such point as the community feels that the game has the necessary features to replace Quake 3.
hehehe.. it will be fun to see all the pros return to Q3 from Q4 for milking the cow ^_^
anyway.. good decision for the time being.. in Q4 you can't even play demos right ffs :|

You can't connect to servers unless you have exactly the same .pk4 files. The spawns are broken (you can force someone to spawn in the same spot all the time). The hitboxes are huge. Autodownloading is broke.

There's no way to allow alot of spectators to spectate big games (GTV/QTV) and MVD is not available. The game is just crippled compared to the old games (especially QW).
