Quake Live trailer...get pwned at work!

If you aren't familiar with what Quake Live is, it is a web browser version of Quake 3 that is 100% free. It isn't out and the BETA sign-ups exist. But are you willing to jeopardies your job by playing this all day? Or more importantly, jeopardies your dignity? You know you will get schooled.

Honestly it looks pretty sweet, but I am not familiar with this so called "mouse" and "keyboard" so I might get owned pretty hard..at least at first.

If you are interested, try to sign up for the QuakeLive Beta here.

Kinda disappointing considering the game is a) the same Quake 3 Arena game we've all known and loved from years and years ago and b) it looks pretty shitty, especially in comparison to other free online shooters like Combat Arms and the new Battlefield.

I'm sure the gameplay will be fast and furious as always, but without any customization options like the other two titles I mentioned, I'm pretty sure this will fall by the wayside unless you're a hardcore Quake fan. I just don't see the point. Needs more new, pretty much.

not to be an ass, but how is a free fps with great levels disappointing? :P

Also, methinks this may be paving for future endeavors with browser based games for id or at least I hope so.

It is FREE and browser-based. C'mon Radicate!

This looks kickass for a free game. I'll try it out. This seems like the kind of thing that can't be easily minimized at work, though, so I'll have to plan accordingly.

I was sent a Beta key for this a while back and forgot about it. I had no idea what it was and I'm certainly no pro with the mouse and keyboard. I'll have to check it out I suppose.

I understand it's both free and browser-based, but so too is Battlefield (last I heard). And to me, it just looks like they put a lot more time and effort into Battlefield to offer a new fun experience.

Now, I understand Quake is a different kinda experience on purpose, but seeing Battlefield in action in comparison to this just reassure my thought that id coulda done more with this (granted the brief snippets of community site functionality look pretty cool and engaging).

I dunno... I understand the point of its appeal, I think it just doesn't happen to appeal to me. I'm a huge customization fan, so, yeah. I'll try it when it comes out, I'm sure, but I can't see myself getting drawn into like I did even with my brief time with Combat Arms during the closed beta. We'll see, we'll see...

QIII is the best FPS ever made. Anything that gives people a reason to play again is a good thing in my book. I happened to have the misfortune of not playing it until 5 years after it had released and missed out on most of the good online gaming, but now I'm getting another chance.

You ever get fragged by a dude named "Lukich" or "Kyuubi", know that you are helping to fulfill what I thought was a lost fantasy :D
