ID Software’s free to play Quake Live went, well, live earlier on today. It’s basically Quake played through a web browser and free. Err, that’s about it really. Quake was never the most complex game really. Kill everything else on the map (aka arena), a lot.
So here’s a low down of what’s in Quake Live:
- More than 30 arenas
- 5 game modes
- More than 50 characters
- Leaderboards
- Player profiles
- Statistics
- Achievement-based awards and trophies
Quake Live beta, to use its full moniker, is completely free due to the streams of ads pumped in front of your face. I would like to report on the ad-ness of Quake Live to qualify my last senstance, but I can’t as the servers are currently rammed and I’m 26,000 in the queue!
Ho hum…I’ll kill some time looking at Lolcats while I wait.
