- TKidd, on 02/25/2009, -0/+85I hate ***** blogs like this that DONT EVEN INCLUDE A LINK to the subject of the article!! seriously, stop that! how hard is it to make a link to www.quakelive.com ???
this one was obvious but so many other times I have no ***** clue where the source for the article is so I have to go find it myself. buried. - dienaked, on 02/25/2009, -1/+74Sooooo tired, played all night.
Up at 6AM
Called in sick to work, drinking carbonated caffeine drinks by 6:15.
Other than the economy, it's like 1999 all over again. - inactive, on 02/25/2009, -4/+56When you bought the Mac, you knew what you were getting.
- khaosx2030, on 02/25/2009, -0/+313. Will Eventually Support Mac and Linux
- khaosx2030, on 02/25/2009, -1/+19Spent around 30 minutes in queue, only to be told to download the newest plugin.
Waiting in queue... again.. - TKidd, on 02/25/2009, -2/+19are you retarded? work on your reading comprehension.
- higgimonster, on 02/25/2009, -0/+16so why link me to some ***** blog site. Why not link me to the ***** game.
- inactive, on 02/25/2009, -2/+17This is an amazing leap in gaming! I cant believe we can play this in browsers now
- Shazbuckle, on 02/25/2009, -2/+15Take him to the digg court, they'll sort him out.
- UltimatrixmaN, on 02/25/2009, -2/+14That'll teach you to be trendy.
- techdever, on 02/25/2009, -2/+14swish
- digginmygrave, on 02/25/2009, -1/+12where did you get this info from ? Runs fine in FF.
- shamesz, on 02/25/2009, -2/+13I'm enjoying this title. Been in the beta for awhile now.
- billizm, on 02/25/2009, -0/+9That was a great year, and especially good for video games.
- funkgerm, on 02/25/2009, -0/+91) Get placed 16,000th in queue
2) Get told to download latest version and restart browser
3) 22,000th in queue............
/crys - dienaked, on 02/25/2009, -2/+11It's not a release, it's an open BETA, very similar, but different things.
- noumuon, on 02/25/2009, -0/+7"The handicap bot round wouldn't end"
i'm going to take a guess that you didn't even start the actual bot round, you stayed in warmup... either that or you're full of *****, considering when it launches, it launches full screen. - upnortherik, on 02/25/2009, -3/+10Maybe you should dig the stories you READ and LIKED! Wouldn't that be nuts?!
6000 diggs in two and a half months, what a joke. - kouchan21, on 02/25/2009, -1/+7because it's free?
- mycoplasma, on 02/25/2009, -1/+7I started playing this game last night. It's very fun, and the graphics seem to be a bit better than Quake 3.
- Jeepinator, on 02/25/2009, -2/+8Yeah, iD should totally listen to the advice of one person. I played the closed for a bit myself, and it was pretty much perfect. Maybe they weren't expecting quite so many people online.
- cromulent742, on 02/25/2009, -0/+6Ah, the memories.
- budtske, on 02/25/2009, -1/+7whoosh
halo and CoD arent released as streaming download browser games.
also, they arent free to play
what the ***** is your point ? - Premier, on 02/25/2009, -1/+6Are browsers that advanced that they can run 3d games completely within themselves?
- bodfa, on 02/25/2009, -0/+5Get this site some Viagra... they can't keep it up.
- castletech, on 02/25/2009, -0/+5John Carmack is trying to get me fired.
- inactive, on 02/25/2009, -0/+5I agree, this really annoys me, too
- gingerboy, on 02/25/2009, -1/+617481 in the queue, not played quake for years and had never heard of this before today.....whoooohooooooo fraggin again later...IN A WEB BROWSER FFS!!
- w00tnot, on 02/25/2009, -0/+5Not going to "game settings" before playing is retarded.
- hypografik, on 02/25/2009, -0/+5I'm totally clueless about this but I believe the external plug-in take care of this. The browser is simply the "Window"...
- wiredmessiah, on 02/25/2009, -0/+5Quake Live is awesome. I was on the internal beta test for a few weeks and I got myself completely hooked! I know the beta has had a rough transition into open, but be patient and give them time to sort the issues.
- Nn010385, on 02/25/2009, -0/+5Yeah, because playing Quake III in a web browser was such an easy thing to do back then.
/s - Narishma, on 02/25/2009, -0/+4It's called Quake Live now, not Quake Zero.
- spacenettnet, on 02/25/2009, -1/+5I am now in over 200k list long waiting now. Screenshot: http://www.ag0.net/digg/quakelive.jpg Maybe after dinner it will be my turn :-P
You can register to be in the beta here : http://www.quakelive.com make sure you get the plugin first from here. http://www2.rasterwerks.com/game/phosphor/beta1.as ... - amitait, on 02/25/2009, -0/+4After I registered:
"Don't worry, to make sure everyone can enjoy the game we have activated our super secret Queue system, which keeps the server from being overloaded and affecting the website. Your turn is coming right up"
Position in queue: 23907
"so hang on and keep an eye on that number" - sorenchr, on 02/25/2009, -0/+4Good luck getting access to that site before a couple of days
- Jeepinator, on 02/25/2009, -0/+4The weapons are from Quake 3 Team Arena.
- MeatMountain, on 02/25/2009, -0/+4From these comments it appears I should wait a few days before trying the game... They appear to have underestimated its popularity.
- mkrete, on 02/25/2009, -0/+4Yeah, alot of people follow the instruction that says 'restart your browser' after installing the plugin. Don't bother - just click the back button after you download the plugin to reload the page and avoid having to re-queue.
- LSP55, on 02/25/2009, -0/+4Actually, you suck, you can play on fullscreen, check the options, I think it's in advance. Then again you're probably goingto play this with the graphics maxed out and then you'll wonder why despite not lagging you always feel you could run the game a bit smoother. I remember people using smaller game windows in Quake 2 and minimal settings so the game would be fluid, stop bitching.
- DamnMan, on 02/25/2009, -0/+4Stigma. Casual gamers and Soccer Moms are far more likely to give it a shot if you hide the fact that its really just the same old Quake 3 by embedding it in the browser.
Your gonna get your ass handed to you back a 30 something mother of 3 in between the laundry and cooking dinner. - CoreyTamas, on 02/25/2009, -0/+4To be fair, if the site says it'll run on any browser then it should run on any browser. If the site says "Mac and Linux support coming later", then they've done the right thing. Thing is... the Mac has run every version of Quake so far, so Mac users have some right to expect a little parity.
Of course, I can't actually get to the site to see anything and make any intelligent comments, so I might as well be running a Commodore 64 for all the good it does. - LSP55, on 02/25/2009, -0/+4I'm with Hypografik, you dl a small plugin and I bet that works as the real game, setting up a few connections between what's downloaded to your machine and the browser itself.
- minorthreat, on 02/25/2009, -1/+5ah so your that gamers that gets into beta and thinks he knows everything about a software's development cycle.
Your a beta tester/gamer. You find bug/glitches in the game and report them. Your providing the company with free testing. Know your role - inactive, on 02/25/2009, -0/+4Slightly tweaked maps, awesome new maps, nice matchmaking front-end, clan arena gametype included. The most important thing that it has is...lots of people playing.
- Radan, on 02/25/2009, -0/+4Well, Team Arena was in my opinion at least, just a very lame and rushed answer to Unreal Tournament. Another example of why you shouldn't try to fix something that isn't broken in any way.
- LSP55, on 02/25/2009, -0/+4Just wait until battlefield heroes, if that turns out well I imagine a lot of new games coming out like that.
- rhyinem, on 02/25/2009, -0/+3The squirrels that are running the web servers seem to be starved for attention or nuts.
- Striss, on 02/25/2009, -0/+3Seems really good, once the servers calm down from the beta launch things will hopefully be a lot smoother. Just played a nice CTF match in QL, had no idea they added a bunch of new weapons...cool stuff.
- jeexbit, on 02/25/2009, -0/+3brings on the gibs...
