The Godfather of deathmatch spills the beans on Quake Live and why Crysis isn't the future of PC Gaming.
BLG writes, "Alongside the Wolfenstein and DOOM franchises, there are the Quake games. Known for fast-paced and insane multiplayer deathmatch action, there was a time Quake was best known for its single-player design.
That all changed as time passed (i.e., after Quake 3 Arena). Multiplayer deathmatches were never the same.
As other FPS games leaned more into improved narrative and storytelling, id Software delivered a genre-defining multiplayer experience.
Quake 3, and the iterations, will always be one of the best multiplayer series releases.
As far as campaigns, I think 1 and 4 are great, but that 2 was garbage.
Quake Champions was a joke on and didn't capitalize on much of anything that made the series great.
Yes, it´s true. Quake Live is no longer a F2P title, as Bethesda is now charging $10 for the game. So no wonder why a lot of Gamers are really angry right now. So this is my (Robin Ek, The Gaming Ground) take on this matter.
Ughh.. they gave any existing users a free copy, it's not exactly hurting any current players.
Infact, this may invite more people to pick up the game during sales and play it.
Taking out the 36$/year sub for a flat 10$ release is a very good move. It'll allow everyone access to the same amount of content and not divide the community.

True, it could also be trolls for all I know. As most of those comments seems to be rather "whiney".
"Exactly, neither do I. It's like people need a reason to be outraged all the time. It's Come to the point when decisions that are made in favor of the consumer are also met with outrage"
Quake Live, the online fast-paced first-person Shooter from id Software will be dropping their own launcher in favor of a Steam one. Launched in 2010, Quake Live used to be a browser plugin, allowing players to play from the comfort of the browser, giving them easy access to their favorite game. In 2013 they dropped the browser option and moved to a launcher, so this move is not surprising.
come on carmack pc is where you made all the big bucks dont ever think you can just leave do me a fav get a tech 5 game up and runing and stop fking around with old ass quake 3 sht liked quake 2 tho
After playing Quake III Arena for the first time just a short while ago, I am very, very excited about Quake Live.
I hope this is as good as i remember it. I used to love this game.
is never meant to be THE future of gaming and never will be. maybe yes for graphical department where it's still barely challenged by anything but in terms of gameplay, story telling and physics, it's still in PRESENT, definitely not the FUTURE!
i suppose this will give Yahoo! checkers a run for its money...
