I was a fan of Quake 2,Quake is a legendary series and made by the software company that introduced us to First Person Shooters, ID Software. I was a fan of Quake 2, Quake 2 and Quake 3. What I love about QuakeLIVE is they took a very difficult game to get involved in, because of; patches, mods, maps, servers, configurations, and the other details you might need to look into before you started playing. Now QuakeLIVE takes Quake 3, touches it up, makes it super simple to get playing, patches automatically and now even gives you the ability to have a membership that allows you to host private games. Since this game is free, there's no reason you shouldn't at least try it out; www.quakelive.com Expand

I played it back in the days and now it's got even better with the Steam release. Quake is the pure example of how a real FPS should be. Simple without all the **** like skins, OP weapons regenerating health.. but this makes the game so good and addictive. Expand

    Jaegermeister's review for info (I am no way affiliated with either person).
    Quake is a legendary and boundary breaking fps series, to me it defines the term. Quake Live as the latest shooter from the innovative id software. Nothing beats the sensation of a race for the last frag in a Free-For-All, or winning control in a duel within a matter of heart pounding seconds.
    QuakeLive is (for those that don't know) a browser launched version of the multiplayer old-school shooter Quake III, and is totally free. Try it out at www.quakelive.com For those that don't know you can install QLprism in order to run it in a .exe format. It is fun, fast and physically demanding; perhaps, in my opinion the best damn fps out there.
    A word of warning- the learning curve is insanely high, don't feel let down if you feel everyone went through this and I guarantee 6-8 months of pain, frustration with only the odd good game in between and you will strafe faster, move faster, hit harder and control the map better in every FPS.

Many features are missing. It's great as a free game but the playerbase is too small to keep my interest. Development is nearly at a standstill and the clan scene is pathetic. I went back to q3 and found more people playing there than in ql. Was fun while it lasted. Best of luck to those willing to ride it out. Expand

    Quake Live is bad why cause it rips of us people that bought Quake 3.

I paid $19.99 for Quake 3 to find out they have released a game that has Quake 3 graphics and Quake 3 characters for the price I paid for Quake 3, they should have just updated that. Not only do we need to download a bunch of stuff to play this, we need to take care of our browser and don't delete certain cookies and other things cause this game won't play if its corrupted. Furthermore, this seems like a get rich scheme just like BF4FREE all these games take features from the original game and make you pay. Quake 3 could have had these updates, but you know they want to make money WBGS will not approve ad filled loading screens and a subscription-based games that are clones of the original Quake 3 when they could have just updated Quake 3 stop ripping us gamers off.
