GameSpy: "Quake Live is an experiment of sorts for id Software. Instead of a mega-blockbuster shooter that pushes the state of the art in graphics to greater limits, it's a free web-based version of Quake III Arena, focusing on accessibility and community-oriented features over bleeding-edge tech. Quake Live is transitioning from the closed beta experience to open beta, so players from all demographics will be able to check out the game first-hand. I had the chance to chat with John Carmack and Marty Stratton of id Software to learn more about this brave new world that they're exploring."
The latest update for Quake Live brings many important fixes to Mac and Linux users and new client-side game options, including indicators for damage received and damage dealt.
These new options are intended to improve your ability to assess when you are taking damage and how effective you are at dealing damage to your opponents.
As promised last week at QuakeCon, id Software has now added Mac and Linux support for their browser based free-to-play first person shooter Quake Live. In their release notes, they mention that for now Mac support is confined to Apple's Safari browser but they hope to have Firefox Mac support up and running soon.
Love Firefox, all the plugs are awesome... But for me, Safari is just Snappier...
A premium subscription service for Quake Live is on the way to the free online game, according to id founder John Carmack.
During his QuakeCon keynote address, Carmack explained to the crowd that in-game advertising was not enough to support the web-based title.
lol...why not just ask for 5 bucks a pop. a subscription on quake arena? that's borderline activision'ish
