![]() Quake Live is a free online arena first person shooter based off the popular Quake 3 Arena that came out in 1999. With some minor changes to balancing and bug fixes the game plays like vanilla Quake 3 but with a few added features. Id software hired modders and community mappers to add new modes, maps, and features to Quake Live. The base game is free to play but limits you to free servers and a small map pool. While paying for a subscription gets you some extra features such as the ability to start servers and invite your friends! Changes from Quake 3:
![]() For users who decided to pay a subscription you are able to start your own server, then invite up to 6 free members, when ever you want. This also allows you to select the region in which the server is located and change tons of in game variables. This allows you to make the game very bizarre or as serious as you want. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Quake Live also keeps track of all your statistics so everyone can see how horrible you are and what modes you play the most (then judge you for it). ![]() One of my favorite changes from vanilla Quake 3 is the ability to tons of client side settings. This allows you to create custom HUDs and settings through the in game settings window or console. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Maps - Standard (free) arenas are listed in bold, CTF is in italics.

Its open to all skill levels and you don't have to pay a dime! I have a a pro account and can create a server for you and your opponent relative to your area and use premium maps. Depending on the amount of people wanting to participate it would be a blind double elimination tournament where only members dueling have to be present. All times would be set up between opponents as long as its within a reasonable time frame (don't schedule a match 3 months out). Rules

I am not sure how many people are still active. I did get some people to play a couple games of FFA, but I think I'd have to goad them into playing.

I haven't played in a looong while, but I've been looking to play a good, vanilla FPS after all these class-based games that are all the rage now. Is the community still pretty active?

Does Quake 3 have a community anymore? Reinstalled this after over a year and there are only 2 good duel maps and 1 good CTF map left for free users. e: And there might be none in the next month. Free users now have 24 maps which rotate monthly. So have fun learning a duel map and then not seeing it for 6 months! http://www.quakelive.com/#!news/site_news/30961 This is just loving absurdly greedy, desperate and stupid. They should just pull the plug on QL already. Bloodmobile fucked around with this message at Mar 9, 2013 around 06:00 |

Carmack said in the last quakecon, if I remember correctly, that QL was a commercial failure and implied it wasn't going to get much attention from them.

All those companies thinking that F2P is some sort of magic engine that will work by itself and be really profitable with no effort put in are now (hopefully) realizing the error of their ways.
