QUAKE LIVE Beta Live [Feb 24, 2009, 8:09 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
On this anniversary of the release of Qtest in 1996, the
QUAKE LIVE Website is now accepting all
comers into the open beta of QUAKE LIVE, the free web-based version of
Quake III Arena. Word is: "Welcome to QUAKE LIVE! Everyone on the development
team and at id Software would like to thank you for stopping by and giving this
very exciting new project of ours a shot. We look forward to hearing from you,
playing in matches with you, and most of all hope you and your friends have a
great time with the game."
Wow, I got brutalized by the Expert AI. I started off with an 8 point lead, lost map control, got dominated until Crash was up by 3 points and I barely pulled off the win at 12 to 11. I recall the fight being much easier in closed beta.
And yeah, the ridiculously long queues are fairly counter-productive to the whole "pick up and play" appeal of a web-based game.
